Wondering how to find an affiliate marketing mentor? I found a group of mentors and coaches who helped me with my affiliate marketing business. You can access them by signing up on this website for the free videos and joining the community. Or checkout this page and apply for mentorship with me.
An affiliate mentor can help guide you and learn a number of things within your affiliate business such as:
- Developing a daily structure to building your business
- Setting and achieving goals
- Holding you accountable to your action steps
- Walking you through the set up process and technical issues
- Mindsets needed to overcome the ineviatable hurdles
How To Find An Affiliate Marketing Mentor – Social Media
If you have a look on Facebook you’ll find a number of groups which have been setup to help struggling affiliates too. Type affiliate mentors into the search bar at the top and apply to join groups which look suitable. Quora.com can also be a good source for mentors and coaches. Type affiliate mentor into the search bar and look at who pops up.
There’s also the Warrior forum (Warriorforum.com) you can check out. This website is a forum for digital marketers and can be used for help and advice with affiliate marketing issues. There’s thousands of posts and over a million members. Ask a question using the search bar and see what comes up.
Youtube of course is another goldmine of information and a good source when you’re having affiliate issues. I use YouTube often when I get stuck with a technical issue and there’s a tonne of free videos which can help you out.
Failing Forwards
Not every mentor is a good fit and you’ll need to look for someone you “click” with. Mentors and coaches can help you overcome your fears and uncertainties which are a large part of the problem when you’re a beginner. If you’re afraid to do anything or uncertain of your next step, it’s going to hold you back.
However, even with a mentor you can still struggle and it’s a good idea not to rely too heavily on someone else. You should take 100% responsibility for the results in your affiliate business. A mentor can only point you in the right direction but you have to do the work.
A bit part of affiliate marketing is failing forwards! This term refers to getting your hands dirty and trying out methods and strategies you might not have used before. This is going to give you the experience you need which no mentor can help you with. Make a habit out of taking daily steps which make you feel uncomfortable. Keep failing forwards and over time you’ll have some experience which will help you more than a mentor ever could.
Nothing beats experience in affiliate marketing and the top affiliates have failed many times and experienced many setbacks. Don’t think it will be any different for you!
Access A Mentorship Program
You can join a mentorship program through this link. You’ll meet a personal mentor of mine who I met back in 2014 when I was struggling with affiliate marketing.
Stuart has been a huge inspiration to me and has taught me a number of principles which I use to this day:
- Become a creator, rather than a consumer. Most of us are stuck in “consumer” mode when we spend time online, absorbing content but never producing it.
- Don’t be a busy fool – the busy fool spends time online which doesn’t move the “needle” of your income, wasting time on the unimportant tasks which maybe enjoyable but which don’t move your business forwards
- Failing forwards – failing forwards means getting out of your comfort zone with affiliate strategies and tactics. You’ll never learn if you don’t fail first!
- Shiny object syndrome – refers to the habit of jumping from course to course looking for the “magic bullet” – the “easy” way doesn’t exist. Stick to a course of action for the duration until you master a strategy.
- Goal setting – zoom in and out of your longer term goals and make daily habits which align with your future plan
- Intentions – set a strong intention for your affiliate business and repeat it to yourself often so it becomes an automatic “red flag” in your subconscious mind. A good read on this is Stuart Lichtmans’s book on Cybernetic Transposition.
