Has anyone reached the $80 threshold for payout with Benable yet?

I've been pretty bored over the last week, so I had plenty of time to create some lists at the Benable site. At first I had trouble getting the "optimized" batch for just one of my lists but then was able to get six more lists optimized rather quickly. 

What I find odd is that I made two sales before I even got one list "optimized," but now that I have seven lists optimized I don't get any.   The traffic to my site also has not increased. Therefore I would like to know what other Benable users experience and have the following questions:

1. How long have you been with this site?

2. If you were able to reach the $80 threshold, how long did it take?

I've been on since about March. I'm not a super prolific poster - I have created 45 lists since then, most of them have optimized. I'm a bit less than 1/2 way to the $80 threshold so far... I seem to get a referral every few weeks, most of them pretty small - less than $2. I generally get a handful of list views each day, though many of them seem to be people looking to follow to get followers. I have generally accepted everyone, as I figure whether or not we have any mutual interests it's still something that will please the algorithms.

I've also been with Benable since March, 8 months, and had hoped to reach the $80 threshold by now. I was averaging $10/month, but that has slowed down in the last 2 months. I enjoy it, but my goal has been to promote my Zazzle photographic products. I haven't seen an identifiable Zazzle sale yet. Forever hopeful is a good place to be, so I continue my pursuit and hope that it may benefit someone.

For my Zazzle products on Benable, I have Benable earnings turned off. I was of the impression that I would affect my Zazzle commission. Was I wrong?
