What Do You Think of Seekyt's New Revenue Sharing Contest?
Many of us who used to write for #Squidoo used to chafe under the tier system – a system where lenses were given a tier. Lenses in the top tier received a greater portion of shared advertising revenues than lenses in the bottom tier or no tier. No ma
Writing is Hard Work
I have gotten really spoiled since I began to write so much at #Bubblews and here on Persona Paper. #MyLot is even easier. That kind of writing for too long a time can make one lazy. When I first started writing online I worked much har
Moving content...or just moving on?
It feels like forever that I've been spending far more time simply moving content from one platform to another, instead of writing new stuff. There's been so much instability with writing sites over the past year that it seems to have become a guessing gam
Need Help with XML Files
When Squidoo was giving fair warning they were going to close, we had the opportunity to download our lenses as XML files. I did that. Now I have lots of folders full of files sitting among my documents that I'd like to turn into blogs, but I have no idea
Cleaning Up My RebelMouse
Last night I saw a link to my RebelMouse page in my list of Tweets to reuse and schedule. I hadn't been there in months, so I decided to see what was posted and saw too much that should not be there. I spent hours after that cleaning it up. If you
Making the Most of Your Pins on Pinterest
#Pinterest is supposed to be the best generator of traffic to your writing or products. But you have to be smart about #pinning if this is to work. First, you should be checking your boards for dead links. Since #Squidoo, Yahoo Voices, and some other site
OK. I Changed My Shirt.
Some of you have been nagging me that it's time to get out of my #Squidoo shirt I've been so happy in. I have finally responded to the pressure and changed into my #HubPages shirt. It was a gift from HubPages when I was active and winning awards and contes
How To Spread Your Writing Around
Another writer on Persona Paper was saying she likes to find new #writing sites, but it's difficult making ends meet unless she spends time at the sites that pay the most. I'm also finding this to be true. One can belong to many sites and pop in sporadic
Thank You, Squidoo
As I have been looking at all my old #Squidoo lenses, copying them, and editing them, it has been like looking at the history of my writing online. I started at Squidoo and was very active there for several years. Many of my first lenses were inspired by t
The Race Is Over
I think I tied the clock, but it wasn't easy. I had planned to go nowhere and do nothing until the work was finished. Then the phone rang. The Realtor had one more counter offer paper we needed to sign and fax to her today, and the only printer is at the o
Good News From Squidoo
In case anyone missed it, there was an update to the official announcement about the closing of #Squidoo and the sell-out. They have lowered the payout threshold to one dollar for the last two payouts for July and August. That means that even though I got
My Current Plan for my Squidoo Lenses
As I look at the list of my #Squidoo lenses, I have been better able to evaluate them objectively. This is necessary in order to decide their fate. They basically fall into these niches: Personal experiences on parenting and bereavement that might be
Progress Report on Turning Lenses into Hubs
This is even more of a nightmare than I thought it would be. When I started on #Squidoo in 2009, no one was as picky about photo attribution as they are now. I hadn't been deliberately building a collection of photos for use online yet, so was using some f
