New member, looking for mentors

1. There are no "secrets"

2. Having a mentor is not one of the biggest components of success for everyone

3. What have you done so far?

Yes, what have you done/implemented so far? Do you have a site? Do you have a product you are promoting? Do you have some things you have tried like article writing and making videos and blogging and ???

Even those with no money can do something. And should have done something before looking for a mentor.

Anyway, that would be my suggestion for the day. If you have not done something yet, go do something today. Buy a domain, or even write and submit an article to promote a product.

Hi Luna522

Welcome to the forum. This is the best place to learn how to make money online.

My suggestion is to do some reading on the site to familiarize yourself on the differing IM strategies. Then, to begin with I would choose a strategy, find a well reviewed free WSO on that strategy and take action on that strategy. Take a month or two to really squeeze as much out of that strategy as you can. There is nothing better than trying and failing many times to learn what to do correctly. If and when you succeed, rinse and repeat.

Try not to get caught up in the buying the next best thing WSO every week - you will get nowhere. If you are lost, do a search on the forum and then ask specific questions. People are usually very willing to help out.

PM me with more questions if you would like and I will try and point you in the right direction.

Take care - and good luck.

Above all Take Action

You know I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum for the last couple months and I can tell you: if you're looking for a mentor you've found it.

Don't think of your mentor as a person, think of it as collective knowledge; which is here in spades. Search, read and most importantly DO.

It's unreal how much available knowledge is on this forum - new guys have it so easy nowadays and WF has made me very excited to jump back in the saddle simply because the methods are about the same as they've always been - and there are more details available about those methods than ever before.

Good luck.

You make it sound easy For some here it probably is. Does that mean it will be for you? Maybe, maybe not. Does it mean they're able to teach you what they know? Another maybe, as ability and teaching are two different skills - some have both, some don't.

I'm fairly new to IM, but longer on life experience and offline successes (and failures too - part of learning) and IM isn't much different than real life. The guys (and girls) who became overnight successes here would have, for the most part, became overnight successes at whatever they chose to do. It just happened to be IM.

My impression of many people getting into IM is that they're expecting the quick buck or the millionaire success story. Again, the same rules as in RL apply to IM: for every millionaire CEO their leagues of front line grunts and small business owners who are scraping by.

Most offline businesses either fail within the first 2 years, or take 2 years to break even. Why is IM different? The exceptions are not the rule.

I'm not saying this to discourage you. I'm just wondering if you're going into it for the right reasons. IMHO, except for those who have an ironclad will and unshakeable desire to succeed (the guys who will fail, pick themselves up, learn, and fail again before they succeed), most of those who go into IM in pursuit of the quick buck they believe everyone else is making are the people least likely to succeed.

I'm not saying that to be mean, nor harsh, nor to even pretend at knowing your motives or expectations. I'm saying this in the event that you do find the mentor, and having had that person invest their time into teaching you what they know and guiding you along the way, that you don't call it quits when you're not making X dollars in 30 days, or 60 days. A paid mentor has the luxury of shrugging his shoulders because he's been paid for his time regardless. To an unpaid mentor, the only payment they have is your sincerity and the intrinsic, rather than financial, reward that come from helping you succeed.

Thanks guys, alot of good info...I guess I'm on the right track so far... I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and trying to soak it all in.

If you are serious then send me an email at honest-pay4honest-work.ws@live.com...I have a link to a video I want to share with you...believe me it behooves to take a look at it.
There is nothing I have come across in my 10+ years of online that makes online marketing easier. If FREE and the support is continuous!

I think Derek Soto had a thread for free coaching. I'm not affiliated and haven't had any dealings with Derek, but he's active on WF and is helpful in his comments.

Focus and action trumps everything else.

i too am a newbie to the I-M online world. Unfortunately for me i got completely
sucked in by products and systems that i couldnt seem to adapt
maybe that was my fault or maybe the products just didnt deliver.

I think the warrior forum is a valuable supplement but i dont think it could
ever replace the advantages of a mentor.

i found out about the warrior forum from a recommendation by a couple
of guys that are mentoring me now, and i think with their help i will
be moving in the right direction, for me a mentor showing me step-by-step
has helped me dramatically.

that being said, i have no intention of ditching warrior forum there are a lot
of good qualities with this forum.

I have to say I am from Australia but I know many big time marketers in the US and here and they are not poor if you know what I mean. So I would keep coming back here and get out your yellow notepad and start jotting ideas like mad, then go out there and implement some of these until you see something that makes you money.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, but just keep coming back here and testing and tweaking what you have learnt until you have made your first dollar. That is how I did it, and now run 3 hugely successful online businesses. It all starts with your first dollar, if you know how to make 1 dollar you know how to make $100 dollars. and if you know how to make $100 dollars, then you know how to make your first 10k and yadda yadda so on and so on. :-)
