Oooh, how will you spend all that cash?

Just like the Co-Vantage Credit Union commercials, you can step into cash by using Squidoo. You can sell products on your lenses to earn commission, or get into high-paying "tiers" with a well-ranked lens.

Read on to learn more about common payday related questions.

So, we get paid via PayPal? 

When you first sign up for Squidoo, you'll notice we ask for your email address associated with your PayPal account. Since we only pay via PayPal, this is necessary to send you cash earnings.

If you missed this step, or need to change your address, you can do that on your My Profile tab. Learn more about your dashboard here.

My earnings went to the wrong PayPal address!

The most common mistake for lensmasters is setting up the wrong PayPal address. If your earnings have been sent to the wrong email address, read this for instructions on claiming your money, and fixing it for next time.

Is your PayPal address hooked up?

If not, go straight to the My Profile tab of your dashboard to enter it. Without it, you could be missing out on earnings!

WHEN is payday?

We consider our official payday the 15th of each month, and we've always been early!

Why is there a tiny bit missing from my PayPal payment? 

PayPal takes a 2% fee for each transaction, so you may notice that the amount is slightly different.
