The Ultimate Guide To Squidoo Lenses By EelKat.
I joined Squidoo in April of 2007. At the time of Ekography's last edit I had 251 lenses and 14 groups. I make new ones all the time, so watch for new ones to be added as time goes by. This is my index for them all. Ekography is eternally under construction because I am constantly creating new lenses. Check back each week to see what's new. Have fun, enjoy your stay, return often. Thank you.

The info that used to be right here has now been moved to those 2 lenses so that I can keep this lens just for indexing my lenses on. Here they are: -

Why am I on Squidoo?
When I first joined I didn't know you could make money on Squidoo. I came here to build lenses and share my knowledge about my favorite subjects. Than I learned I could make money doing something I loved doing: writing about my hobbies, so now I have made I my goal to make a regular and steady income here.Right now I'm making about $10 a month here, my goal is to raise that to $458 a month, and to keep that ammount riseing higher as the months and years go by.
- SQUIDOO INCOME UPDATES:
From April to September 2007 my income from these Squidoo lenses ranged from $5 to $12 per month.
Since October 2007, I have not made less than $24 per month.
As of February 18, 2008 I am happy to announce that my monthly income from Squidoo, now ranges from $24 to $37 per month! WOO-HOO!
The April 2008 PayOut adds yet another payout milestone for me, with $62.88! Nearly double the average I had been getting, this is the first PayOut to reflect the addition og the new Glam Ads that Squidoo added to the pages.
I love watching those numbers rise!

Lenses Written by EelKat:
My thoughts and views on the world at large.
Below is a list of the lenses I have created thus far. Check them out.Lensroll your faves.
Don't forget to vote on the star ratings on each lens as you visit them!
My lenses are tested and rated:

Created by OnePlusYou
Only 2 of my lenses failed this test: David Bowie Video Showcase and A Rebel's Guide to Life. Because those two failed the cussing test, both have had their ratings changed to R. All of my other lenses are rated G.
- NOTE:
If you see a lens that has an orange squid icon on it, instead of a photo avatar image, that means that that lens is currently under construction. You can still visit it, but please note that it is not yet finished and I am currently making changes and updates and edits to it.
Also, it takes me about 2 months to complete an entire lens from start to finish, so if you visit a lens and it looks a bit bare compared to my other lenses, than you can be certain that that lens is not yet finished, but is nearing completion.
One last note. Every day I pick at least one lens and do edits to it. Eventually every lens gets an overhaul, so if you read a lens today than read it again a few weeks from now, it'll will not be entirely the same, as I am constantly striving to perfect my lenses.
Enjoy your visits to my lenses, and be sure to leave comments and feedback on them to let me know what you liked and what I can do to make each one better.
Thanks!
