Depending on subject and content they don't often need a lot of promotion as they can grab a lot of organic searches anyway.
It's a bit like website creation really but on a mini scale. If you hit it lucky on a good niche you can get a lot of traffic in a very short space of time. Google and most search engines crawl squidoo almost daily so you can get traffic in a very short space of time.
Personally I'm still learning about web design and marketing and squidoo is a great playground for me to have fun in. I've used it recently just to rant about a few subjects -
Bejing Olympics ,
Google Auctions ,
George Lamb (crap uk radio dj)
as well as doing lenses purely promoting products to earn commission -
Hemp Clothes ,
Toothbrush Sanitizers ,
Canon DSLR Lenses ,
Wind-Up Gadgets,
light therapy devices and thats just a start on my 'commercial' lenses.
I have one or 2 tutorials like
using ebay RSS feeds and fun ones like my
Captain Pugwash,
Bagpuss and
Ivor The Engine ones.
