Squidoo earnings update!

Yesterday, I made my first sale from a Squidoo lens. Today, I am up to 6 sales! I am so ecstatic. I have been working tirelessly to improve my lenses, and I can't believe my hard work is paying off from just one week.
I've only made $1.55 so far, but it feels so amazing. I can't describe this feeling! I'm kind of giddy right now.
Squidoo is an excellent learning platform. I totally get why publicizing, pinging, SEO, and social networking all matter and are very effective when it comes to driving traffic to your sites. My trouble now is that I can only do so much, and it's hard to dedicate time and attention to my own websites and domains when I am having very real success with Squidoo.
I enjoy the vanity of owning and operating my own websites and domains. I feel like it channels my creativity more than any other platform. But I also think it's much more work to try and drive traffic to your own site instead of an already established site like Squidoo.
Perhaps I shall try to set aside time in my schedule to devote solely to my own websites and domains. Do any other lensmasters out there have any advice on how to allocate time?
