IM newbie looking for a mentor to coach me

How about buying some ebooks and apply the strategies? Many successful IMers started off with that.

I tried that at first but there was so much information it gave me information overload and the problem i found with a lot of ebooks even though they were meant to be newbie friendly some parts left me guessing and not knowing what to do or getting stuck, so i decided since i have saved enough money through offline work that it would be better to get a mentor and be guided one on one by someone who knows how to help a newbie get started and make money so i won't have to keep spending money buying and reading ebooks and spending hours everyday reading and doing trial and error.

Hi bwtech4, sounds good, get in contact =)
McDavies - yes i have heard of him, was wondering have you started making money from the program yet.

Peter.

I can be your mentor... my friend.

Nobody can guarantee that you will make money online no matter how
good your mentor is. What you earn will depend on your commitment and
skill in being to implement what you're taught.


This will limit you somewhat as folks in the US don't work during your
work time. I worked with somebody from Australia once and it was purely
email on a rather delayed basis between mailings.

You probably need somebody to help you with a business plan if you have
no direction yet. You don't want to be all over the place and not every
model is right for every person.

Okay, this is probably the most important thing I or anybody will say to
you in this thread.

Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY can come here and claim ANYTHING.

You need to get their REAL name and research them.

Ask them what credentials they have that can be VERIFIED.

This can be anything from products they have at Clickbank to membership
sites they have to anything. Find testimonials from people who you can
contact and verify.

Go to Google and type in the person's name and see if any dirt comes up.

If somebody is an outright scammer, you will find stuff...tons of it.

If they're a nobody (unless they're really under the radar) then nothing
will come up, or very little.

You have to be very careful when selecting a mentor.

Plus, any mentor worth his salt will actually turn people away if he feels
he can't help them.

For example, I just received a request from somebody with ZERO English
skills. Not that there is anything wrong with this, but for somebody like
me who can only communicate in English and knows (from past experience)
that trying to make this work will be very difficult, I turned the person
down.

The scammers will take on anybody and try to soak them for as much
as they can.

And then you have the unskilled marketers who offer to train you for
nothing except a percentage of your profits. They figure they have nothing
to lose and everything to gain if you stumble onto a system.

Problem is, these people usually don't have a clue what they're doing and
will ultimately end up being little of no help to you at all.

Trust me...I am speaking from first hand experience on all of this.

Bottom line: You have to be extremely careful when chosing a mentor.
Forget about the money you might be blowing. The wasted time working
with somebody who isn't qualified to train a donkey to spit tobacco is
something you can never get back.

Take this warning in the spirit in which it is intended.

To the OP...this is the exact kind of thing I'm warning you about.

Danger...Danger...Danger!

Ok first of all i'd like to thank everyone who has read my post and given an opinion.
Secondly i wanted to state that i HAVE been doing tons of research for the last month spending hours everyday reading post forums free ebooks, buying ebooks and have come to realize through all that time doing trial and error and just guessing a lot because what i've found is most information that i have downloaded or bought doesn't cover exactly everything in detail - for beginners like me even a small detail left out can leave us newbies completely confused. Also having been left confused i had to go out and find more information for where i was lost and yes after some research i did find the answer i was looking for.

"Aha! You want someone to go out and make you money.

Why didn't I think of this? "

Sorry but you got the wrong idea of my point of view. What i mean is that a proven successful mentor who has successfully coached other students to become successful online and of course i know that the mentor can only put in 50% and i have to go the other 50% in applying the knowledge i learned to make money, obviously they are not going to be doing all the hard work for me.

I respect everyone's opinions here as everyone has a right but for me in the past month if i had a mentor who would talk with me and help me lay out a plan and set me on a straight path i believe it would help me a lot and save me more time that's why i've been working really hard to save money through offline work to afford a mentor (by the way I'm only 18)

Happy new year everyone!

Yeah that's why i've decided that a mentor helping me along the way and knowing where i am at, would be a lot more suitable for me

How much are you willing to pay for this mentorship?

that kind of one on one program is (and should be) pretty expensive...

Or do you expect this for nothing?

I agree 100% with Mcdavies. If you want to learn this from someone who is newbie friendly Chris Farrell is AWESOME. I have not joined his membership site yet, but the free email course i signed up for is GREAT. I cant wait to see what he teaches when you sign up.

Hey mrpmz,

Consider yourself lucky since you're only 18 years old and starting out. Just imagine where you'll be in few short years.

Treat this like you're going to a prestigious university. Being at the warrior forum is a great place to be educated.

Sure, it may be hard to decide on which path to take. But I think you are intelligent enough to make the right choices

best of luck to you!

Hello mrpmz,

The first thing that you need to do is to have the correct mindset. You need to learn some basic skills and educate yourself. By that I mean you need to understand what you are doing and then implement what you've learned.

How do I know this? I have a good mentor. I agree with McDavies, Chris Farrell is a good mentor. I'm one of his students and I've learned alot from him.

Don't forget, most of us started out as newbies. Some succeeded and some failed. Those who failed, probably gave up because they didn't understand the process. Internet marketing is a business and before you start a business, you need to learn some skills and you need to understand it. It takes time and work but it is achievable.

As you are going through the learning curve, there are also some ebooks that you can read to enhance your knowledge.

I hope that helps.

Warm regards
Janet

I'm betting that anyone who even considered your request is glad they didnt respond now... with this little tantrum.

didnt get the answer you wanted so hmmm never mind then

First of all I have to agree with much of the above. There is so much that you can learn from some of the warriors here. I was mentored by Alex jeffreys but have learned a whole heap of different things on this forum.
The second thing is mindset. Someone above mentioned this already and I agree completely. Without getting yourself into the correct frame of mind you are pretty much doomed to failure in almost everything you do.

I do run a coaching course through email that will teach anyone how to build a sound business plan. It works, its exactly what I learned myself, but it does take work and builds over time. I do not charge at this time, I am more interested in building lists.
Its in my signature.
Good luck with your journey and don't fall for the you can make $30,000 this weekend only working two hours a day type offers. If you do and it works you can mentor me lol.
