Suffering from Information Overload and willing to pay a mentor

Hey folks...thanks in advance for reading this post. I'll get right down to it.

I started my internet marketing career on November 12, 2009. I still work a full time job that gets 45 hours a week from me. I can't stand this job! I have come to realize that the internet can provide me with an opportunity to work for myself. The internet has been a passion of mine for a long time. I thought it would be smart to create an online business where I manage only one person every day--myself.

I began with Jackie Lee's Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint and started creating Squidoo lenses that were mostly 'single product' specific. I purchased Market Samurai for my keyword research along with using Google Keywords. I have created 11 lenses so far. Of the 11, I have made only one sale. That product was returned. Sale negated. I have since read that Google isn't a big fan of Squidoo like it was some years ago. I don't plan on stopping creating lenses but the ones I currently have don't seem to be performing optimally. I think my content is good, but I don't know any better.

I am an affiliate for a clickbank product that had produced 2 sales, one od which was returned. I market the product in forums where the people who would benefit most from the product congregate.

I have written 8 ezine articles on the various topics/products that I either have lenses for or am a clickbank affiliate for. I have gotten about 450 views on all of the articles with a URL click rate of 15%.

I subscribe to Angela's backlinks, and I understand that I need to do a lot of backlinking in improve my search engine results. The strange thing is, I have some lenses that seem to rank well for certain keywords, and they have zero backlinks.

I became a member of the War Room upon the advice of just about everyone here in this forum--and the information seems overwhelming! I am willing to learn and put in the work. Outside of Market Samurai, Angelas Backlinks, and joining the War Room, I have spent not a dollar more.

I am willing to pay someone to mentor me, answer specific questions I have regarding my current 'goings on', if someone would be willing to do so. There is so much information here, especially regarding creating products to sell (not necessarily becoming an affiliate FOR those products) but being new I suppose I don't yet know any better.

My path was to create about 100 lenses, keyword optimized, based on Jackie's blueprint. Low competition, high search volume, etc. etc. My fear (through reading about how Google treats Squidoo like spam these days) is that the 100 lens path might not be the most beneficial idea. Judging from the lack of anything substantial coming from the lenses I currently have, I am having trouble finding direction.

Thanks for listening and hopefully someone is willing to take me under there wing and lend a hand!
