Training and mentoring

[Trina1974]

Hi everyone. My name is Petrina and I'm very eager to learn about affiliate marketing and e commerce, so that I can work remotely. I'm terrible at teaching myself and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction for some education or mentoring?

Many thanks


Trina

Thank T J. Where do I start? My brain is fried with all of this information. I tried Amazon Affiliate Marketing once by posting links on Pinterest but got nowhere with it. I also tried to get some mentorship and training via LinkedIn but got scammed by a person trying to steal my identity and information. Do you happen to offer any training sessions?

Thanks

First of all, there is no "mentorships" in this industry. True mentorships are not purchased. True mentorships are between a mentor and the "protégé" the select. This is most notable in the academic arenas globally, but can be found in some areas of business. Stop pursuing a mentorship. You will just get taken to the cleaners as has happened to you already.

You need a community like AffiliateFix. you can learn from loads of members that have been through what you are going through right now. Many minds are always superior to a single mind!

You must accept the fact that you are now a student. That is, and must be, your starting point. All education must provide a curriculum. There is not shortcut. You must become an really good student the best you can. Take this posture and position and you will succeed at a pace that is naturally yours. Some get through their learning curves faster than others, some much slower, but on average a solid average student can, and will, build a stable profitable business within a six month period. If you think that is too long, then perhaps you should consider something else. This isn't 1996 when you could build a half ass pdf and get unsuspecting people to buy it thinking they'll get rich. This is 2025 and the industry is sophisticated, regulated, and requires adaptive skill sets that require continuing education. All of us, everyone of us, are always portioning a segment of everyday dedicated to learning.

You must stop jumping around from one thing to another. The grass does not get greener! Research what makes up the industry, select a segment of the marketing practices to start with and stick with it until you master it. This is where the average of six months comes in. I've been in this since 1996 and I have seen the blood baths from those that say this is bullshit, and they typically fail and get out of the business pretty quick.


To Start:
Select a single niche.
Select a marketing method.
Select two traffic sources.
Join two affiliate networks.
Get a tracker.
Subscribe to an intelligence platform.
Study angles, hooks, and triggers.
Study forms of copy.
Learn about landers.
Learn about creatives.
Select one or two geos.
Select one or two demographics.

You need to study each of these so you understand their function, implementation, and proper use.
Write down a plan and write down a budget. Without these you have no internal guidance for assembling and deploying each of the requirements above.

Once you have these then you will begin to take action. you will build your first, of many, funnels. Plan on getting stuck, plan on making mistakes, plan on taking notes! Remember, YOU ARE A STUDENT and in your educational phase.

If you are serious, you will do the work necessary to build the beginnings of your new business. Once you complete these tasks then you will be ready to expand, build a team, and scale your business at your own pace.
