Mentor program for newbies i.e. (internship)

NICE!!!.

I should have thought of this request.... Don't know who will take you up on it though..
My perspective is this.... it took years months of dedication to then teach someone this for free and just run off. You have to have a good production offer for free knowledge.
one of my favorite IMERS is Mike Cowles.. look him up... maybe he will take you on.
If anyone does I think you should be prepared to GIVE 100%.

b well.

I think that's a great idea! Our pay will be the knowledge...

Don't know if you've found what you're looking for yet or not. An internship sounds like a good idea. Haven't heard of any big guys doing them, but never hurts to ask! Mike Cowles is someone I trust also. He has an affiliate program (Mike's Affiliates) and offers free weekly coaching sessions to his people. You might want to check that out.

If you're dead set on doing an actual internship, contact some marketers whose business appeals to you.

I think there's a lot of wannabes out there. So I think you'd need to prove yourself first. Pick someone you want to work for. Research them extensively. Then find a way to demonstrate value to them FIRST to show you've done your homework and are the real deal. Otherwise, it's too easy for successful busy people to ignore you. And they typically have lots of people approaching them for this kind of arrangement (if they are really successful). So I think you need to do something (creative or otherwise) to set yourself apart.

I personally think it's much more valuable to get coaching. You'll probably have to pay for that, but it'll get you where you want to go much faster. You could soak up all the knowledge in the world, but unless it's applied it's useless. A good coach helps you implement. Being an intern is more about soaking up the person's knowledge. Getting a coach is all about YOU getting results.

That's a good point. I'll sign up for the War Room as soon as I'm able. Just got over a chronic illness, starting a new job this month.

I just posted a case study of my newbie efforts with a blog, currently doing 200-300 visits per day, that I'm trying to monetize. If you've ever monetized anything, you know more than me, and I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

I think it's my first real shot at making an IM project go. I may not be an expert on success, but I've become a "veteran of many failures."

I don't expect any volunteers to jump up and start coaching me, but hey, I tried to post as much useful info as I could about what I've learned so far. (Admittedly not much!)

If you guys want a coaching/mentoring program to get stuck into feel free to add me on skype or send me a pm. We help newcomers get started and overcome many of the obstacles that can trip you up early on.

Hi there.

Vision is essential so it's good that you are even mentioning it early on in your IM career.

Only you know what your vision is, but importantly, be sure to make it a flexible vision as goals and targets are bound to change along the way.

Really, the most essential element I can tell you to become succesful online is to:

1. Choose the niche that you are connected with. Something that incorporates your natural skills and abilities. If you do this then building your business will be enjoyable and much easier to get your head around.

2. Forget about jumping from product to product - period. It is the biggest mistake of all time in IM. You won't need 5, 10, 20 different products over 1 year to make money. Think about your vision, target and how you're going to achieve it. With those basics in your mind you can set about building a sustainable online business.

There are loads of mentors to choose from but good one's tend to be pricey though that is not always the rule.

Recommendations.
Chris Farrell - He does an excellent program that is inexpensive. Look him up. Also, this forum is packed with great info even though it's a little difficult to process all of it at once.

Good luck

Yeah, i totally agree on getting a good coaching program.
If you happen to have $6 to invest every month, I recommend you to join Jeff Dedrick And Liz Tomey coaching program. You will get very clear instructions on what to do, as well as resources and other cool bonuses. The program focus very much on building a list for yourself. I personally find that all the technical stuff and concept taught inside the program is very comprehensive, as in you know exactly what you should do. Plus, the contents comes in per month basis, so you will not get information overload.

I found this is a very good coaching program.
The value of this coaching program is you got to see why and how the pro do their work. I think that is still very beneficial to me even though I already know quite some stuff in the program beforehand.

Here's the link to the program if you are interested. I'm in the program myself for 2 months already =)

Some great advice above.....

Find your passion, interests and create a product that helps someone. My first website/product was not related to making money online. That product filled a need, solved a problem for people. That was 2 1/2 years ago, it's passive income monthly. Passive means I don't mess with the site, I don't touch it and yet it brings in monthly income. Win/Win! Create Value in whatever you do.

I actually tried the free mentorship for free services approach but got no takers. This isn't to say that it won't work for you. To be honest I really never put a lot of effort into it. Hopefully this works out for you.

If it doesn't, here's an alternative approach I used that got me way better results:

I recently joined a mentorship program and it's the best thing I've done for my IM career.

Sure, it was expensive but it was well worth the investment for a couple of reasons:

1. A good mentor will make it much easier for you to focus on one project until completion. Quite often the problem we have as newbies is not that we don't have the right info, but we just have too much info to sort through so we get overwhelmed and do nothing.

2. For me, I think just knowing that I made a sizeable investment in a mentorship program motivates me to make sure I get my money's worth by actually doing the work.

3. The program I'm in has a private Skype group where members can interact and help each other. I'm finding this to be an absolute must.

Hopefully this will give some perspective.

Good luck

yup, i think finding good mentors is the way to go for starters in IM

Only problem is an internship is you have to find someone who is already making money willing to give up their precious time.

Find a good mentor, join his/her list and take note of how they market to that list. Then emulate what they do.

Joining the War Room is an awesome start to your IM journey. It takes people years to find this forum and join the war room. Get in as soon as possible and head over and take a look at all the free content that is being offered.

I think it's tough to find someone to do an internship for. THere's a lot of reasons for that, but you will find lots of coaching programs on here. They are paid mentors and I couldn't agree more that most people need one.

Keep reading through the forums and ask lots of questions, this will really help steer you in the right direction, do not under estimate how much information you have access to on this site particularly, and other forums.

Good luck

yeah i am still on the hunt for a good coaching program, most of them are abit expensive, but i guess u cant get somethign for nothing

Lol what was that Italad? You just applied to our "special" test run thread where you can get 30 days free access in return for some feedback.

http://www.warriorforum.com/wanted-m...-new-post.html

oh haha sorry, i will click on the link and go from there, thanks

my quick review..
its only free for the first 30 days, after that it costs. Upfront costs or costs within the 30 days are hosting, domain and optional autoresponders.
Might wait for some more reviews and see if others have success with it,

yep and the price is $77 a month after 30 days, apparently it was $25 up until a few days ago, but yeah look it may very well be worth it, but like i was saying, migth wait to see some honest reviews first

yes this forum is definately a great place to get started

Hey!

I can't afford the $500-$2000 for personal one on one coaching, but what I have found helpful is listening all day to mentors like Jim Rohn, Darren Hardy, Dani Johnson, Brenden Burchard and I use that to help me get to where I want to be with helping me.

Once I do have enough passive income to cover a training. I will be going to one. I think mentoring is great, but if you cant' afford it. Get free podcasts, buy some books from some very successful people and sign up for their programs that aren't as expensive to get your foot in the door. I know I'm probably the minority, but that's what I did and am doing.
