Build 300 Lenses in a Year - Is It Possible?
In January 2011, I set myself the Squidoo goal of 300 new lenses by year's end. This would not be difficult to those who create short, focused lenses. There are lensmasters who started after me with 300 lenses. However, it took me 2 years to make Giant 50, and after 4 years, I'm at ~200.
That's because I often write educational or recreational lenses, tutorials or reading material. My top lens, Greece Odyssey, is a travel diary.
However, for 2011, my goal has changed. I'm not just using Squidoo for a hobby, but for a purpose: to lay down a stable financial foundation to support my writing. Therefore, I must write more short, focused lenses and sales lenses.
Paul has encouraged us to make 2011 lensographies to chart our progress. I can't list my lenses in my niche account here, but I can at least chart my Greekgeek account's progress.

Right Out of the Gates
Not bad for someone sick with a sinus infection, although I already need to change or delete the joke Beck/Bieber one. (Right of publicity issue: Zazzle won't sell shirts with people's names on it, and they're probably right, so I've yanked the products.)

Greetings, Fellow Squids!
Thank you, everyone, for the encouraging words on my 2011 Goals lens. If I missed anyone (I tried to visit everyone who left a comment), many many apologies, I've been... busy, and rather flattened this week!
