You may want to consider using Yahoo Answers. AKA Yahoo Answers Network and StumbleUpon for some free traffic to your Squidoo lens as well.

At Yahoo Answers there are so many people that want to be involved in some type of community and when they see your Squidoo lens that is related to the questions they are asking, you can get a very nice increase in revenue and targeted traffic.

I’m not going to go into how Yahoo Answers works but I hope you know by now that they allow links after you answer a question in your resource box.

Basically, by giving helpful answers to others whenever you can, you get clicks and often sales back for your kindness and effort.

I use PLR article snippets related to the niche where questions are being asked and ad my affiliate links, Squidoo links and my own niche related AdSense site links as well.

How does Yahoo Answers Network work?

The Yahoo Answers Network has just recently been launched. It lets you build a personal network of “Contacts” on Answers. You can add anyone who shares your passions, or piques your interest, through their Q&A on the site.

The benefit of adding people to your Yahoo Answers Network is that you will have direct access to the questions they ask, answer, and star on Answers -making your Answers experience more personal and helpful.

This could be a great way to build upon your niche sites and drive more traffic to your Squidoo lens.

Yahoo Answers Network

Although I won’t go into super-deep detail on how StumbleUpon works in this course, I hope you have utilized this method in the past for instant traffic, and if not that you plan to go and sign up for a free StumbleUpon account as soon as you can.

There are plenty of in-depth tutorials at the site to guide you if you’re unfamiliar and a very helpful forum and community, as well.

Simply sign up, write a review and add your Squidoo lens links. I sometimes choose to use the “bizarre” and/or the "weird” StumbleUpon categories for crazy amounts of instant traffic... depending on the niche, of course.

When your mentorship ends and you have successfully trained a protege, it is beneficial to keep your momentum going.

You may want to give yourself a cooling-off period to reflect on the process before beginning again, but if the mentoring program was successful, you should continue to act as a coach and mentor.
Do not forget that coaching/mentoring is a two-way street.

You will learn as much from your proteges as they learn from you. By continuing to mentor, you will gain diversification, new life outlooks, and the satisfaction of having assisted several people in launching their careers.

This reflects positively on you, both professionally and personally.

When you are ready to find another protege, you can simply return to the beginning of the selection process and start fresh. There are also additional options for finding a new protege once you have completed a coaching mentorship.

Referrals From Your Proteges

During the mentoring process, you and your protege will have gotten to know each other well. You will be familiar with each other's likes and dislikes; your personal and professional goals; your personalities and preferences.

This makes any of your former proteges to be an excellent resource for discovering new proteges to take on.

If you plan to continue mentoring, you should bring this issue to light at the dissolution of the mentor-protege relationship. Let your protege know that you will be looking for another newcomer to assist as you have assisted them, and ask him or her to keep an eye out for likely candidates.

Even if your protege continues working at your company or in your same line of internet business, he will likely have different experiences and may move in slightly different circles.

College interns can also sometimes make good recommendations regarding other college students. Interaction between college students does not tend to be separated by grade level; rather, students are familiar with others who are majoring in the same subjects. A graduating senior college student may know of some promising juniors who would be ready to intern soon.

Referrals that you can act on with confidence will lessen your workload when it comes to taking on new proteges.

You should still initiate a formal investigation and interview process with a potential protege-but in the case of referrals, you will only need to perform the process once, and there is no pressure to decide between multiple qualified candidates.

After-Retirement Mentoring

Mentoring after retirement can sometimes be more rewarding than mentoring during your career. At this point, you have likely gained a wealth of knowledge that will prove immensely beneficial to any protege.

Retirement also allows you to involve yourself in mentoring on a full-time basis. With the restrictions of time and quality erased, you may find that you are able to truly make a difference in the direction of a protege's career.

Your protege will be appreciative of the ability to spend more time working with you. You will also be more flexible in regards to meeting locations, as you can interact at any time.
