Well, it's a red-letter day at Empire House. Today, after 2.5 years of striving & more false dawns than an arctic sleepover, I finally made my first, fair dinkum, cash-in-the-bank passive income!

While I have amassed $22.85 in just a few weeks with REMO, those dollars are only good for REMO products. And while they do have a large range of stuff I can buy for myself & others, it's not quite the same as cold, hard cash.

Anyway, back to the story. I'd logged into Squidoo, expecting to see the usual, derisory $1.62 'credit'. Instead, there was a note informing me that $6.00 had been paid into my PayPal account.

The breakdown from my lenses was $4.22 from CARTOON SHEEP, $0.08 from COPYWRITER CONFESSIONS & $1.82 from JEPARIT. I assume they've rounded down, or that the missing $0.12 will carry over to next month.

Seth Godin does warn that Squidoo takes time. I was starting to lose faith, but my hope is renewed. I'll be fascinated to see what next month brings.

So there you go. Yay! It may be a flash in the pan, or it could be the start of a beautiful relationship. If the latter, then there is life after Google AdSense, even if you're evil.

I very warmly welcome your comments.
