Is this a Mentor out there who is a Warrior I could chat with?

Hi JS,

You sound a bit "jaded" and you haven't even really started in Infomation Marketing yet. Can I suggest to you two words....You Tube. Everything is there and its free. Watch you tube videos till your eyes pop out....then watch some more. Refuse to spend a dime until you have watched 500 videos on whatever interests you. After a time you will feel a pull to a specific tactic and maybe a niche. That's when you can watch another 100 videos and pick the program you want to spend your hard earned money on.

But then the honeymoon will be over...you will need to take immediate and massive action....or you never will.

Don't loose faith...this is the best time in history to make massive amounts of money.

To your success.

You don't really need a mentor. All you need is a good little plan to follow. If you browse this forum enough, you should be able to discover that there are ways to make money online that you can do that are simple.


What are your goals? Do you want to build a list? What do you want to do?

Working with a mentor and talking with a respected warrior is confusing for the warrior (this has happened to me before). Why? Because people come up to me asking for ways to make money, and it tell them what I'm doing and how I do it, and they instantly just walk away and never talk back with me.

This is how it is. I tell people to do different things because not everybody is going to want to do offline marketing like I have (which has lots of potential), or create WSOs (which is highly lucrative), or build a list. Find out what you want to do first. See what is within your budget (building a list costs a monthly btw).

You can always PM me if you'd like, and it would gladly send you some help along the way if you ever want it

As the two replies stated. You need to know more about what you want to do before you find a mentor.

Do you want a mentor to show you how to find niches for Amazon products, build a quality blog and drive traffic?

Do you want a mentor to show you how to find JVs, create products and launch WSOs?

Do you want a mentor to show you how to SEO a site and optimize it for AdSense?

Do you want a mentor to show you how to drive traffic to your Facebook fanpage with FB ads?

Do you want a mentor to show you how to optimize a sales funnel and build a list?

Do you want a mentor to show you how to develop, monetize and promote an Android App?

Do you want a mentor to help you find offline leads and close SEO contracts?

You need to do enough research and learning to know what type of mentor you need based on the business you are building and the gaps in your knowledge for that business.

A good quality mentor will help you and teach you step by step what it takes to make money online. A good quality mentor can decrease the amount of time it takes to produce results. A good mentor will save you a lot of money and headaches through trial and error. You can always learn on your on through here on the WF or Google or anywhere but expect mixed opinions and a lot of confusion and a lot of trial and error along the way. When I first started, I had nobody, no help what so ever, I was working on determination. Along that route I spent a lot of money, made a lot of mistakes, and had a lot of headaches. There are many benefits to having a coach, even Michael Jordan had a coach. If you are looking to shorten the learning curve, it's best to seek out 1 knowledgeable person and model them. A good coach will help you and lead you down the right path and will give you a step by step guide to follow. A good coach isn't going to work for free, and is going to expect you to work and do the tasks necessary and won't take any excuses. You either are going to do it or you're not. I think a coach is necessary if you are looking to shorten the learning curve and get results in a faster period of time.

Research..Research...Research before you invest in any product or person. Honestly the "BIG DOGS" aren't going to tell you every "Secret" that they have discovered to help them along the way. That comes with putting in the work, staying dedicated and "jumping off a cliff while learning how to fly on the way down". Most of the secrets will not be told because it has been too much blood sweat and tears involved to just give it away to everyone that ask. Most of the work will have to be done on your part. I'm not trying to scare you just inform you. So many people (including myself) think that IM is just a breeze of a job where you start and make money just like that. You have to get a feel of the market, the niche, the people, the products and etc. That only comes with time my friend so if you think you can learn everything before you start then I'm sorry but that will not happen.

Just learn what you can and research as much as possible before investing. "Fail your way to Success" and remember to just "Enjoy the Journey". (It worked for me)

*Peace and Blessings With You My Friend*

my suggestions: forget everything and start building your list. you can even build it for free by participating in this forum.

Actually, I don't think access to money is what keeps most people from succeeding in business, especially online business. More often what I think causes failure is that would-be entrepreneurs are looking for secrets and push-button solutions rather than using their own brains to figure out how to provide and monetize value to their customers. They look for short-cuts instead of using creativity and common sense.

One of the great -- and awful -- things about online business is that compared to most industries there are very low start-up costs. I've heard of people running successful businesses who started with under $100. Granted that only works for some business models, others can cost quite a bit more. But overall, whether you're selling books, beds, backpacks or Barbie dolls, it'll generally be cheaper to do it online. Usually, a lot cheaper.

Of course the low barriers to entry in online business is a double-edged sword. It also means that everyone and her mother is able to start a business which leads to lots of competition from lots of people who have neither the aptitude, the knowledge nor the temperment to be successful entrepreneurs. Maybe it's "sad" that being a successful entrepreneur isn't for everybody, but neither is being a successful concert violinist, basketball player or theoretical physicist. It may be sad, but it's also just reality.

As for mentors, personally I wonder how useful they'd be. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems that most mentors sell a single system that worked for them (or at least they claim it worked for them), a system that even if it did work for them is very likely not going to work for you. Every business, every niche, and every human being is different and what works for one person in one situation may be a total flop for another and vice versa. Moreover, times change and what may have worked at one time may no longer work even for the same business, same niche and same people.

The key to being successful in business is being able to think for yourself and being able to adapt as you learn more about your customers and as market conditions change. While I've never had a mentor or a coach, I doubt very much anybody can teach you that.
