			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this article by Susan Morrison and it reinforces my thoughts on having a business mentor who can share their experience to help guide you in the right right direction of growing your business. Her article deals mostly with affiliate marketing but the principles are the same when looking for a small business mentor. Find a mentor who has done the dirty work for you.</p>
<p>Her Story:</p>
<p>No matter where  you are in your internet marketing<br />
endeavors you probably are in need of  online mentoring.<br />
Mentoring basically means giving assistance and guidance  to<br />
someone less experienced.</p>
<p>Think back on any job you have an. Did  you receive some<br />
training for that job? Did you have a supervisor  or<br />
manager? Even if you became the president of a company<br />
there was  probably somebody you could call upon at least<br />
for feedback.</p>
<p>I know.  Some of those managers were probably not very good<br />
at training or mentoring.  That&#8217;s definitely a problem with<br />
many people placed in positions of  leadership.</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t people out there who  are<br />
ready and able to provide mentorship. Online coaching is  no<br />
different.</p>
<p>There are many membership programs vying for your  business.<br />
Some of them offer the moon and some can deliver. Many<br />
can&#8217;t  though because they&#8217;re no different than the lame<br />
supervisors you&#8217;ve  had.</p>
<p>Once you come aboard it&#8217;s up to you to sink or swim. It&#8217;s<br />
amazing  that that&#8217;s the attitude. They don&#8217;t realize that<br />
you are essentially a  customer and that you have a mouth.<br />
And with that mouth you can either  promote them negatively<br />
or positively to others.</p>
<p>So what you&#8217;re  looking for in online mentoring is a program<br />
that has live experienced people  pretty much at your<br />
disposal. It makes no sense to have questions you  need<br />
answers to and then waiting several days. Find a program<br />
with many  qualified people to talk to.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t currently know much about  internet marketing<br />
you need to be able to get started in the right  direction<br />
without wasting a lot of time and money. Information<br />
overload  can be intimidating at times.</p>
<p>But experienced people can help you succeed  in affiliate<br />
marketing. More than likely they didn&#8217;t have qualified<br />
online  mentoring to help them through.</p>
<p>Some of the best programs will have  Internet Marketing<br />
Learning Centers that have training covering many  different<br />
&#8220;How To&#8221; subjects. Included may be things like article<br />
marketing  and pay per click advertising; search engine<br />
optimization and Webmaster  basics to name a few.</p>
<p>Through your online chats and suggestions they may  add new<br />
content and videos to their training materials. That&#8217;s the<br />
beauty  of finding a program that is truly there to aid you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also seen  programs give the members opportunities to<br />
utilize articles, reports and  niche ebooks. You may also<br />
have the resell rights to some products increasing  your<br />
odds of making more sales.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the mentoring will  more than likely be<br />
strictly online in the form of chat forums. This  makes<br />
sense because you&#8217;re in the online business.</p>
