Experienced Warriors: Are You Suitable?

8 replies
Hi Everyone

I've been a lurker for sometime now. I have 2 years experience in Internet Marketing but it's not all been focused ... I'm sure you're not surprised! As a result my income is not at the level I'd expect by now.

I'm angry and frustrated at allowing myself to lose common sense to such an extent. New warriors there really is no magic button! I urge you to give up the search as soon as you can.

The business model I enjoy and have chosen to concentrate on is affiliate marketing via niche websites, product specific micro niche sites etc.

I have several sites ranking at various spots on the first page. Never been able to push them to first yet. I've let several expire but I probably wouldn't have done that if I had someone with experience to converse with. Instead of becoming really efficient at producing micro niche sites and scaling it up, I started trying to add other income streams by reading up on product creation, membership sites etc.

For a while now I've been reading day in day out trying to find the perfect way to earn more money. The niche sites model resonates with me the most so I don't know why I've been preoccupied with trying to find something else ... E-N-O-U-G-H IS E-N-O-U-G-H!

I've reached the point where I need a 1 on 1 mentor to move forward. I've been holding back because I don't always feel confident in the products I pick, the site design, the best promotion methods etc etc.

I am a member of a paid membership program but there are hundreds of members and there obviously isn't time for individual support. A lot of the time is taken up by brand new members who need to know how to set up wordpress or how to set up hosting etc. I feel like a lot of my time is wasted waiting for the training to reach the level I'm at.

I know these sorts of posts crop up time and time again but it's not the usual "mentor me for free" or teach me and I'll give you a percentage ... no disrespect to those that have asked for that!

I have taken action and I have experience but I've just lost focus and direction because I've never been able to come up with a solid plan to follow. I'd work full steam if I knew what I was doing was the right thing to do rather than carrying around this fear all the time.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could recommend a mentor who has gone down this particular business model path before me or a Warrior who has the time and can offer their service (include teaching method, fees etc please).

thank you
Robyn

    Can anyone suggest how to go about finding one instead? I thought the WF would be the best place :confused:

        That's his opinion. I disagree. You don't have to uncritically take anything you read here as gospel.

        But I agree that you could check out the For Hire section and the WSO Forums and see what you find. And just keep reading and asking questions, and maybe the right person will reveal themselves.

          I've been lurking here long enough to disagree too

          Yes, I'll check out the For Hire section. Hopefully the right person will reveal themselves before I go insane ... universe are you listening?!

          Thank you for the response

      Boy, don't I feel like a loser! Glad to be here with all the other lowlifes though!

      As far as the OP....sounds like you're just getting a little burnt out. I know that when I've been hitting it hard I often wind up feeling like all the niches are the same. I've had that "stuck" feeling more times than I care to admit...and no, I'm not some sort of super affiliate or guru or whatever they're calling them these days. Just a normal guy trying to keep his head above water and learning stuff every day.

      Have you checked our Chris Rempel's site or his blog? Even the info on his blog is pretty good and it doesn't cost a penny. His older stuff is better but I still like and respect Chris....and he doesn't frequent the forum too much because I think he's either busy making money, working on projects or surfing.

        Oh yes the conduit method man, I've read Chris's information. I appreciate your input but I really am at a stage where I need 1 on 1 support rather than another ebook, blog or short lived technique to learn.

        Thanks Bretski, I wish you well with your projects

          Perhaps I should have expected I'm entitled to free mentoring ... at least those posts seem to get lots of response and sometimes even offers
