Aah, finally some recognition. One of my (gorgeous, fabulous and absolutely fantastic, obviously) lenses has made it to the top 100 of 2011 and then was voted even further, to the top 11. The fame! The pride! The glory! The traffic...
The lens in question is titled 50 things you can do to improve the world and is a shameless example of writing something that people will like. Or, a skillful compromise - my real thoughts stripped of all the cynical nastiness. If the world was a nice place, the lens would be 100% honest and truthful. I wonder, does applying some inner censorship makes a piece of writing dishonest? Or maybe I simply was a good girl for suppressing my inner anger at the world's injustice and believing for a second that the said world is worth the effort of saving it?
Anyway, it was awesome to feel seen and appreciated for those three days or so. Traffic was fantastic, feedback very encouraging and overall it felt great.
It is less great to see my five minutes of fame slowly passing by but hey - c'est la vie. I might even keep the rank high enough to actually earn some money off it.
Funny, when you think about it - obviously the lens is good, it wouldn't be chosen if it wasn't. Yet so far, in 6 months of its exinstence, it has earned a staggering $0.87. Just makes you think how Squidoo (and the Internet in general) work...

New series
Today I'm starting new series here on Blog To Make Me Money.
It's a little experiment and its purpose is mainly to bring traffic to my Squidoo lenses, for which I'm actually getting any money (or at least they have tangible potential).
See, I promised you at the very beginning of this blog that I'll be honest.
But the experiment has some more mission objectives.
First of all, it is a challenge - I want to see if I'm able to write lens reviews which would get you interested and make you travel to my articles, in the same time NOT filling them up with bullshit marketing language and outright lies.
Second of all - it's a presentation. If you like the way I'm presenting an article, get in touch. I can write a review of your article and bring some traffic to your website. At present, knowing the size of this blog and it's tiny (so far) audience, I may be happy to do it in exchange for a link or a review placed on your website - pointing to one of my lenses or here.
That is, if I like your article.
