Clicks for Charity




Room to Read 1

Last week we sent out the 2nd round of royalty statements to our lensmasters. (For the April 1-30 period, for those of you keeping track).

And we’re beyond thrilled to report that more than half of our lensmasters are choosing to send their lens earnings to charity.

That’s thousands of dollars every month to places like The American Heart Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Room to Read–with real world results. So while your lenses probably aren’t cash cows yet, and while you’re probably not much closer to buying that red Porsche, your earnings can make a big difference when pooled together for a good cause.

But don’t take my word for it. Take John Wood’s.

“This is John Wood, founder of Room to Read. Seth and Megan at Squidoo said I could introduce your monthly payment report with a bit of great news. Thanks to contributed royalties from thousands of lensmasters, Room to Read has built a library for children in Cambodia. We hope to help these kids break the cycle of poverty through the lifelong gift of education. You can see our pictures of the library here: . Congratulations on a job well done, and thank you for your help.”

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
