Refer-A-Friend update

We’re releasing a small change tonight that will pay your Squidoo lensmaster referral bounties sooner.

The standing deal is: Refer a friend, and when she gets $15, you get a $5 bonus. (Not your friend, just you. The double whammy was a promo left over from our beta days and will be phased out after next pay period). We recently realized, however, that we’ve only been counting directly attributable revenue (Amazon and eBay sales) toward your friend’s first $15, and not the Google or Glam ads. That means it took longer for her account to trigger the referral kickback to you. And that’s just silly.

So we’ve added Google and Glam to the referral pot, retroactively for any lensmaster you’ve referred whose account hasn’t hit $15 yet. That means many of you will be seeing $5 referral bonuses paid out next month. And going forward, they’ll be a lot faster for you to achieve!

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!
