I’ve decided to put together a Roque Santa Cruz lens to share my appreciation for the player, and hopefully you’ll enjoy reading about this phenomenally talented footballer.

Santa Cruz has been hugely successful at Blackburn since arriving in England from Bayern Munich in July 2007, and although I’m not a fan of Blackburn Rovers Football Club; I am a huge admirer of Roque Santa Cruz’ abilities, and feel that he always has a lot to offer on the football field.

Manchester City and United have both unsuccessfully tried to sign him, and although he’s clearly a wanted man; he continues to remain a Blackburn player today, and Blackburn fans will no doubt be hoping that he’ll remain with the club for many years to come.

Roque Santa Cruz has a brilliant goal scoring record for both club and country, so please do click here to take a look at my Roque Santa Cruz Squidoo page.

I’ve not created many new lenses for a while now, and have become rather lazy in my reading around; I can’t actually remember the last time I took the time to rate other people’s lenses, and that used to be something I did quite a bit. Time isn’t always something I have a lot of, but I will try and make it my mission to rate people a little more often, and hopefully in the next few months I’ll be able to get back to being a more active Squidoo member.

So $40.65 was what I earned from Squidoo for the month of March, less than half what I earned in December, but still what I’d consider to be a pretty reasonable amount. Hopefully it will start to rise again in the future, but those forty dollars just about cover my phone bill anyway so they certainly come in handy.

I’ll still be looking to have a $100 Squidoo month in the future, but many more lenses really need to be created if I’m to reach that goal, and I’ll therefore be looking to hit that $100 month sometime before the end of 2009.

Last month one of my lenses alone earned $48.94, so with that lens only having made one or two sales for the month of December; I knew that overall earnings were going to be significantly down, and that my monthly earnings were going to be closer to the $40 mark than the $80 one.

So Squidoo earnings were down for the month of February, and I’m expecting this to remain to be the case for at least the next couple of months. Sales are low, and it’s therefore time to see about creating a few new lenses on some seriously hot topics.

I’ve created quite a few lenses, writing about a range of different subjects that have appealed to me over the course of the last twelve months. My most successful lens to date has had over 78,000 visits since August 2008, and whilst it’s not as popular today as it once was; it still makes the occasional sale from time to time, and I’m still very proud of what that lens has achieved throughout the months.

So my first Squidoo anniversary is fast approaching, and I’m sure it’ll be the first of many. I intend to create a lot of new lenses over the coming months, and as I do so I will of course be creating a log of my activity (a weblog in fact) here at Squidoo Daily.

I thought I better take the time to update the blog whilst it’s still January, and let you all know what my Squidoo earnings for January were. It was a bit less than last month, I still managed $80.80 though, and that was mainly thanks to one lens that earned me just under $50 ($48.94 to be precise).

I’m expecting my February Squidoo earnings to be a lot less, I’m sure my earnings will be taking steps forward again in the not too distant future however, and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I crack my first $100 month.

February Squidoo earnings will be in within the next few weeks, so keep posted, and rest assured that I’ve got something big lined up that I shall be launching within the next few months. For now, I shall say no more.

I feel that New Moon is a far better book than Twilight; whilst Twilight being the first in the series spends a lot of time introducing the characters, New Moon is then able to develop them and delve deeper into the relationships which had already been formed in the first novel. There were times when I found the Twilight plot quite tiresome, points where reading on became a bit of a chore, with New Moon though it’s far more free flowing and it always made me want to read on. It’s a real page turner is New Moon, admittedly the editor must not have been paying too much attention at times as there are some terrible grammatical errors; it is a good book though, and it’ll hopefully be turned into an excellent film too.

Chris Weitz has the potential to do a cracking job with New Moon, he’s got a stronger novel to work with than Catherine Hardwicke had, and hopefully this is therefore something that will be reflected in the quality of the film. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are set to earn $12 million each for their appearances in New Moon, and I’m sure that Weitz will be able to get the best out of his actors.

So March 2009 is when the fun will begin, and late 2009 (early 2010 at the very latest) will be when the New Moon movie is released. My lens will of course be coming very shortly, and will be a work progress with new details revealed as and when available.

All you need to do is head on over to the Squidoo Twitterdrive for Charity page, click on one of the 21 charities listed there, and your Twitter page will open so that you can send out a tweet, registering your vote, and adding a dollar to the charity pot of your choice.

As a huge fan of cats of all sizes; my vote went to the Big Cat Rescue charity. There are twenty other charities to choose from though, so you can therefore take your pick, choosing the charity which best takes your fancy.

It’s one vote per person, so only submit one tweet, and the charity of your choice will be receiving a dollar. It’s simple and easy to vote, all you need is a Twitter account, and with the simple click of the mouse; the charity of your choosing will be able to benefit.

I was expecting December to be my best payday so far, and with total earnings of $85.55; that did indeed prove to be the case. My previous best month for Squidoo royalties was October when I received $50.01, so not only has this been the most powerful payday yet, but it has in fact smashed all previous payday earnings.

The Squidoo millions are yet to be made, the money is certainly improving however, and it’s surely now only a matter of time before I have my first $100 month.

Top tier payments this month hit a new high of $12.00, second and third tier payments meanwhile remained pretty much static at $1.94 and 8 cents respectively.

Happy Payday people, and here’s to many more successful Squidoo paydays.
