<p>My new lens, <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/cat-mugs-for-cat-lovers" target="_blank">Cat Mugs for Cat Lovers</a>, has been done in response to a Fresh Squids Challenge to <a href="http://wiwonteam.ning.com/forum/topics/nail-that-niche-challenge-2" target="_blank">Nail that Niche</a>. </p>
<p>This encourages new lensmasters to drill down on a subject and make their lenses as specific as possible &#8211; covering a very small niche. The thinking is that the more &#8216;niche&#8217; a lens is, the better the chance of not only getting targeted traffic but also making sales.</p>
<p><span id="more-423"></span>This makes sense. If people are looking for cat humor or mugs featuring cats, for example, hopefully my lens will come up on their search and they will visit. While there, they are more likely to find something they want to buy or at least click on an affiliate link and maybe buy other things which will earn commission for the lensmaster, in the case of this lens, that&#8217;s me &#8211; fingers crossed.</p>
<p>I hope that people will find this lens humorous. It&#8217;s meant to be. The cat related pictures and sayings on the mugs make me smile as do the quotations and pictures of cats which I&#8217;ve included.</p>
<p>I hope I&#8217;ll be able to add more lenses to this particular niche which is the advice given on Fresh Squids.</p>
<p>Why, you might ask, am I doing something suggested on Fresh Squids when I&#8217;m a member of the Giant 100 Club? It&#8217;s because I can always learn something new. As it happens, I had known about concentrating on niches and most of my lenses probably qualify for that description. I&#8217;ve made very few of them very commercial, though, so I thought a lens about coffee mugs featuring cats would be an interesting experiment.</p>
