Looking for a Mentor in this space (7)
Hi-
I joined this forum a few weeks ago and like most, I have been very excited about this space as well as the amazing knowledge that are found here in the forums.
Through reading, I have setup my own domain name, signed up with performance networks, I have some supply, and I have tracking all wired and running.
I now would love to see if there is a mentor that would work with me and help me understand how to fine tune some of my key assumptions in the performance marketing space.
Specifically:
1. Mobile
2. PPV
3. Facebook/Twitter
I have alot of passion and energy and I would be open to working together with someone as well as just love to learn as much as possible from the people that are considered the 'gurus'.
Please message me if you wanna help someone out or have some interesting areas that you want to explore in the affiliate marketing space, but haven't yet and perhaps I can do the leg work to see what the next steps are.
thanks and looking forward to messages!
This space is full of mentors, you just have to ask your questions and enjoy the fact that you'll always get an answer.
I'd treat the forum itself as a mentor.
The reality is that most people don't have the time and/or see no benefit from taking a newbie under their wing. It could be beneficial in the distant future, sure, but what does it really give the mentor?
Why would someone want to take their precious time out to mentor you? where's the exchange of value?
Use this forum as your mentor,ask questions that you need answered and start mastermind groups if you're looking for people to work with.
Here's what I did:
- Searched for STM users in my city and personally messaged them, told them that I'd buy them dinner and just wanted to pick their brain (met with 2 experienced guys here, who I'm very grateful for giving me their time and feedback)
- Spent a lot of time reading past posts and learning
- Posted a follow along and started posting on the forums ---> somehow 2 more guys just randomly messaged me, one of them is in my city and we met up and the other is nearby in SoCal; we both Skype regularly now, chat, and share info to help each other
I find that people will help you if you're serious, you're taking action, and you're humble and hard-working. And you thank them and be grateful too, and help them out in some way too. No one wants to help a selfish, arrogant asshole. But I think if you work hard at it and you're serious, people start taking notice. I'm still a n00b at affiliate marketing, but just speaking from past exp of getting good at other skills in different fields...

Trial and error is the most profound teacher of all. Hope that helps!
I'd highly suggest getting a strong AM that can guide you. Talk with Mo that works with us and he'll help you get there.
