A recent marketing rage is Squidoo. It in fact created a term on its own: mini nets. So when a marketer tells you to build a mini net, you don’t have to search in Wiki to know what it is although Hubpages have come up with an equivalent to Squidoo.

So how come these Squidoo lenses happen to have the nickname mini nets? Let’s try to find out why. The reason why Squidoo gained the attention of a massive audience is not because it is founded by the famous marketing writer Seth Godin, but simply because the site has excellent standard in quality with highly informative content ready for everyone’s consumption.

One good thing about Squidoo is that you can do whatever you want with it. You can post your photos and videos on it. You can even add music. That’s why it’s called a mini site after all. You can also link your Squidoo lens to a lot more lenses on your niche which is an effective strategy to get traffic.

There are no special rules to follow in Squidoo besides the standard no spamming rule. Seth Godin made it a point that anyone from the smallest to the largest companies can express their views or advertise their products or services on Squidoo for as long they do it in a professional manner.

There are two ways you can earn from Squidoo lenses; that is apart from its being a traffic-generating initiative. One way to earn from it is through affiliate marketing. Since Squidoo allows you to put links for affiliate products on your lenses, when somebody clicks and buys from these links, you earn a commission.

The second way is through Google ads on your lenses. When a site visitor clicks on the Google ads found on your lens, you earn out of it. Squidoo can directly translate to revenue generation but its lasting effect is that of branding for your business or company.
