November 2011 Squidoo Payout

I've received a respectable $840 payout from Squidoo this month, bringing my total earnings to over $10,000. It isn't that much considering I've been a member of Squidoo for over 4 years now, but I am indeed very grateful for the opportunity to make money that they provide.

Squidoo payment tiers for November 2011 were a bit lower than last month, but still very good:

Ad pool:

Tier 1: $35.89
Tier 2: $6.10
Tier 3: $0.31

In-Text Ads:

Tier 1: $10.30
Tier 2: $1.75
Tier 3: $0.09

Chitika:

Tier 1: $0.93
Tier 2: $0.16
Tier 3: $0.01

This time I'd like to share one affiliate program that I'm using on Squidoo and elsewhere with you. It belongs to BookDepository, an online bookstore with free worldwide delivery. It can be a nice alternative to Amazon because of free shipping (especially relevant in Europe, seeing how BD is based in the UK and delivery here is quite fast), and they pay via PayPal instead of check. You make 5% commissions on sales, and affiliate cookie is stored for a month.

It hasn't made me rich by any means, but I have received 3 payouts up to date, worth about $180 in total. Might be worth your time if you have lenses about books and want to give your visitors an alternative to the mighty Amazon.
