The 60 Day Squidoo Challenge and Beyond: A Blog

Hey gang,

So far, so good. It has been a wild ride, and this first month (which is still in progress actually) has proven to be my ‘Squid Learning Curve’. There are lots of little things that I didn’t realize I wasn’t doing until I had been building lenses for weeks, you know? I get squid-piphones all of the time, and they are usually little insights that I wish I had gotten from the beginning.

But such is life.

In this first month I have also learned that it is more realistic to create 60 lenses in 60 days than to actually create one a day. Life happens. People sleep. I’m one lens behind as we speak. But, I know that I can catch up on a day like today; I might get to make three. But time is a valuable resource that we do not always have in abundance, so I have learned to give myself a break.

On a high note, the quality of my lenses is improving. I think that they were pretty good before, but the quest to make a supplemental income on Squidoo has pushed me beyond my limits, forced me to educate myself on all aspects of Squidoo, and keeps me in a current state of self-scrutiny. So, I keep improving my lenses. There are also helpful squids out there who have given me great advice, and I implement all that I can.

It’s really making a difference!

So, to anyone who is on The 60 DSC or a similar personal journey with Squidoo, I encourage you to keep learning and observing what the best of the best are doing - you’ll soon be one of them.

To your continued success,

I.C. Jackson
