    There are a lot of people here at various levels of success and with various knowledge and experience - so you need to be more focused about what you want and then look for someone who can help you in that area.

    There are also people selling mentoring/coaching so you may find someone offering what you want.

      What do you want to achieve?

      What is your goal?

      What is your objective?

      On a scale of 1-10 how would you seriously rate your desire to make change happen in your life? How urgently do you want to make the transition to self employment? And why?

      What are your short term goals?

      What are your medium term goals?

      What are your long term goals?

      Have you carried out a S.W.O.T. analysis yet to find out...

      Your Strengths...

      Your Weaknesses...

      Your Opportunities...

      Your Threats...

      What exactly are you wanting and/or trying to accomplish and in what kind of time frame are we talking about?

      Focus man, focus! Laser focus!!

      You must be more clear on what it is you're looking for.

      Warmest regards,


      Mark Andrews

        I agree with Mark Internet Marketing is a broad spectrum of Sub Niches which you can focus on. Before you pick a mentor or ask for one, work out what you want to do. Because if you go with a mentor and find you have been taken down the wrong path that you don't like that will ultimately be your fault for not deciding on what you want and why you want it.

        So step 1 answer all of Marks Questions then post them back here and ask your question again with more clarity of what you want.

    In my experience, you have to pay sizeable $$$ to get a decent mentor wo wil give you the time and attention you need. There probably are some good free mentors out there, but I've never found one...

    There are plenty BUT to be honest with you they will not mentor you for free and to start off with you have more than enough information right here on the forum.

    Think of it as having access to thousands of FREE mentors.

    Don't spend your money until you have found an area you want to improve in, find the best and learn from them!

    I, too, am looking for a mentor to assist me. I would certainly be willing to compensate if anyone were interested.

    OP, if you'd like to communicate, I'd be glad to talk and perhaps work together to use our collective resources to propel each other forward. PM if you'd like.

    I hope you don't mind me sort of hijacking this topic, but I felt another topic would be redundant. I'd like to answer some of the questions asked above and see if anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction.

    Short, medium, and long term goals

    Short - To make $10 of passive income daily in affiliate marketing through adsense/amazon/clickbank. By passive income, I mean I do all the work necessary to set up the sites/traffic (which I understand may include many 50-60 hour weeks) up front and only having to maintain it for a few hours a week.

    Medium (1-3 months)- To have a network of sites bringing in $25 daily. Also, to launch my first product (ebook or other)

    Long (1 year) - To be bringing in $50 daily, collectively between affiliate marketing and my product(s).

    On a scale of 1-10 in terms of motivation, it's probably a 10. I know everyone probably says this and subsequently doesn't follows through, but I believe you have to be at a 10 in terms of motivation, ready to work hard and encounter difficulties in order to succeed. I have enough free time and funds to really devote to this, I'm ready to climb the mountain.

    S - Sufficient free time, sufficient funds, extremely driven
    W - Lack of direction, inexperience, lack of writing experience, lack of website design experience,
    O - I have specialized knowledge in many areas, from music to psychology to nutrition and bodybuilding
    T - Not finding the right resources, running into roadblocks and giving up prematurely, running out of funds (I have about $2k to spend).

    Immediately, my goals are as follows. To find a mentor and/or resource to guide me through the basics of affiliate marketing. I'm following Extreme Niche Empires right now, however I've heard it doesn't work. I'm simply following it for the experience in building websites, I'm not expecting it to make thousands off it as advertised.

    Thanks for reading, guys. Really would appreciate any help. OP, let me know if you'd like to talk. I can't mentor you, but we can work off each other if you'd like.
