How Many Points to Level Up to Next Level
You've probably heard about Squidoo levels. But what are they? How do you level up to the next level? How many points does it take to level up to the next level? Are there any benefits to achieving higher levels? If so, what are they?
Below I'll document my journey to higher levels, what was required (i.e., number of points) to reach each level, and the benefits (sometimes called opportunities) that were unlocked along the way.
Hopefully this information will help you set goals to reach higher levels, should this be something that's important to you. I know I would've found this information helpful when I began my Squidoo journey.
DISCLAIMER: These are my results, based on my participation within the Squidoo community. Your results could vary, based on your own participation actions and Squidoo's rules at the time.
5/2/12 UPDATE: Squidoo recently revised the items unlocked. Many items are the same, but some items have been moved to different levels. And some items have been totally removed. So I've decided to update the items unlocked sections to reflect what is available now (rather than what was unlocked when I reached a particular level). This way you'll have a more accurate idea of what to expect as you reach higher levels.

So How Do You Earn Points to Achieve Higher Levels?
Squidoo gives points for various activities within the Squidoo community, generally classified as participation or publishing.
Participation activities include commenting on lenses, taking polls and quizzes, SquidLiking and FacebookLiking lenses you like, etc. You also earn points for visiting a certain number of lenses in a row. Also for just showing up for 30 consecutive days. You can earn points for these activities even if you haven't published a lens on Squidoo.
Publishing activities should be self-explanatory. You earn points for various publishing functions, such as adding photos, using certain modules, publishing a lens, publishing more lenses, etc. You also earn points for successfully completing Quests, which usually involve publishing one or more new lenses [which is what Squidoo calls its web pages].
But Squidoo shakes things up a bit to keep things interesting. Sometimes the number of points for an activity changes, up or down. Sometimes you earn points, and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you earn bonus points. My bonus points have ranged from +10 to +2000, depending on the activity or milestone reached.

Somewhere I saw mentioned that there aren't any further items unlocked after reaching Level 65. My results confirm this.
Beyond Level 80
Level 81
It's official. To go from Level 80 to Level 81 takes an additional 855,000 points!!
Since it took 145,000 points to reach Level 80, that means a total of 1 MILLION points before reaching Level 81. Now that's a heck of a lot of points!!!
I reached Level 80 in 68 days! Now what? 855,000 more points seems like an impossible goal [although I do know of two persons who are at Level 81]. UPDATE: See next section on Level 82.
I certainly hope Squidoo lowers the required number of points ... and that additional levels are added. Having attainable goals is important. They give us targets to aim for ... while striving to do more, to do better, and to keep reaching higher and higher.

Level 82
On 4/7/12 I achieved Level 81 [in just under 6.5 months since joining Squidoo]. But I could not have done that without all the wonderful lensmasters who visited and participated on my lenses. So I want to say "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of them.
So now I can officially report on Level 82. Yes, there *is* a Level 82, but no one (that I'm aware of) has achieved that level. Want to know how many points it takes to reach Level 82? Are you sitting down? Better brace yourself. It takes an additional 10 MILLION points, or a total of 11 MILLION points.
Are there any levels beyond 82? Who knows. Do we even want to know what it might take to reach Level 83 (if there is a Level 83)?
Nonetheless, it's been a pretty amazing ride so far. And I want to wish you all the very best during your Squidoo journey!
