My mentees are very special to me. They have been with me as I continue to build my online empire, supportive and constructively critical at the same time. They know I will do anything I can to support and promote them. In fact, they are so speciaI that I will be closing my mentor program forever when I reach 40 people (I have 31 now). This is so they can become joint venture partners with me in various projects over the next several years.
Two of my mentees have been using StumbleUpon for some time, and I joined a couple of months ago as well. We will now spend some time each week stumbling each other’s best posts. I invite you to read Skellie’s post on this very topic over at ProBlogger.
The idea makes a lot of sense. Join forces with 20 people or so and spend an hour each week finding their best post to stumble. It encourages everyone to post more often and to write better posts, and we will all receive more visitors to help us build our online businesses. If you are writing an eBook or have other products and services available on your blog, this method will help you to get more people to your blog on a regular basis.

StumbleUpon is such a useful thing to have! And I’m really glad we are making use of it. It’s really a good way to not only publicise good blog posts but it also helps when you are looking for info on the net or researching what’s out there in your niche.
It is really quick to do… and it is very easy to get absorbed in all the different sites out there.

I think this is a good idea. May I make one suggestion, we create a group on yahoo just for this purpose and once a week each member can submit one post that will automatically go to the entire group. Then, if it is something good for the intended audience, we can all stumble and/or review it. It requires that we stumble more than just each others posts also. This method will save us all time. I think we could have this through facebook or google also. I am not sure how it works on facebook but I think we could submit the like to our recommended post through the group email there. I use the stumble upon tool bar but a person that did not have this will need the person submitting the post to have a submit this link on it.
