While kiwisoutback ’s lensmasters handle suggests a New Zealand origin, he tells me one of his niches is road trips in the USA. Looking for answers to this conundrum, I checked out his lensography and found out he’s married to one of our greenest lensmasters: TheGreenerMe [edit]Kiwisouthback has since explained on his lensography that he chose the kiwi years ago as a handle on ebay, just because it was a unique animal. No regional associations whatsoever. Of course it probably made a difference that he and his wife are both environmentally conscious though…[/edit] Why are you a squidoo lensmaster?

Janet21 is what most of us want to be: a self sufficient online entrepreneur. Surprisingly she’s only made 92 lenses to date, which goes to show that online income really is about quality more than quantity. Added to that of course her other online ventures.

Since then ... Read Full Story
