Using a Personal Mentor for Affiliate Marketing

I’ve been doing affiliate marketing on my own for a few years. I had some success with some of the online courses that I have taken. However, I had never sought out a personal mentor for affiliate marketing until recently. A mentor for affiliate marketing has been a game-changer for me.

The primary reason was that many mentors for affiliate marketing were charging thousands of dollars for their help, which is understandable. When I was finally able to invest in a mentor, I chose wisely and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

How’s it going? I’m Eartha, the author of this website and a digital marketer. I have focused primarily on affiliate marketing to make a steady income online.

In this post, I want to share my experience and advice for using a personal mentor for learning affiliate marketing. An online business coach can be an invaluable resource and help to speed up your progress and results.

You don’t necessarily need a mentor to get results but it can be beneficial if you want to avoid some common mistakes and have a proven formula that you can follow.

Introduction to Personal Mentoring for Affiliate Marketing Success

You may be wondering what exactly is personal mentoring for affiliate marketing. There are two kinds of mentoring.

Some coaches offer group coaching. With group coaching, you and other members of the coaching program can participate in live group coaching via platforms like Zoom.

Group coaching is beneficial as you can learn from the questions that other members ask your mentor and vice-versa.

The second type of mentoring is one-on-one coaching. This type of coaching is more expensive but can include more features than what group coaching has to offer.

Either option will provide you with the support, guidance, and training from an expert that may help you achieve results faster.

Why Having a Personal Mentor Can Transform Your Affiliate Marketing Journey

There are tons of affiliate marketing courses that you can take and many of them are high-quality. It is possible to take what you learn from any course, put what you learn into action, and get results.

However, what happens when you have questions? Some courses don’t offer ongoing support. This is where a personal mentor can help.

Even with group coaching, you’re able to ask your mentor questions and get help. Having affiliate marketing mentorship can make a big difference in your success.

Besides that, it is not uncommon for people to invest in an affiliate marketing training course and never complete it.

Sometimes having an online business coach is the motivation that a person may need to stay accountable and follow through.

Selecting the Right Mentor – Key Traits to Look For

Before I decided to invest in my mentor, I did a bit of research on other affiliate marketing mentors online. There were only a few that I felt comfortable with considering.

I will share the things I looked for when choosing a mentor:

Longevity

How long has the coach you’re looking into been doing affiliate marketing? Do they have years of experience as well as success? When I sought out my mentor, I was aware that my mentor had years of experience as well as financial results.

Accessibility

Is it easy to contact your potential mentor? For example, my mentor can be easily reached by direct message on Instagram. Some mentors may utilize other social media platforms to communicate or even a support email address. Regardless, it should be easy to ask a question.

Level of Success

Has your potential mentor reached the level of financial success that you aspire to and has it been consistent? Some course creators may have made several thousand dollars in one month and then put out a course. However, that doesn’t mean they are earning that same amount or more consistently.

Those are my main criteria when researching an affiliate marketing mentor. You may discover your criteria as you begin to do your research.

How to Maximize the Benefits of Your Mentor-Mentee Relationship in Affiliate Marketing

The best way to get the most benefit out of your mentor is to participate in the coaching calls. Understandably, not everyone can attend the calls live.

More than likely, the coaching calls will be archived and you can watch at your convenience. The coaching program I am in enables you to post your questions ahead of time so that they can be answered on the coaching calls even if you cannot attend.

Taking advantage of having access to your mentor is the best way to maximize the benefits of the mentor-mentee relationship.

Overcoming Challenges in Affiliate Marketing With Mentor Guidance

The best part of having an online business coach (mentor) is having the guidance to help you avoid the same pitfalls that they have experienced.

Oftentimes you can also get technical help if you have questions about a particular software that they recommend you use in your business.

As an affiliate marketer, you are bound to run into many different challenges. Having an expert to ask for help is a huge benefit.

This includes the online community that most coaching programs offer. You can post your questions and likely someone has the answer or some resource to point you to.

My Personal Experience with an Online Business Coach for Affiliate Marketing

I think I have been fortunate to have a great online business coach and mentor. I’ve heard negative stories about others who have spent tens of thousands of dollars on coaching and have had horrible experiences.

I’m continuing to learn a ton from the weekly coaching calls and I feel confident knowing that I can always post any question I have for the following group coaching call.

As far as results go, I have increased my affiliate income by implementing the strategies I’ve learned within the course and coaching calls.

Here is a screenshot of one commission payment I’ve earned since having a mentor:

Having an online business coach does not guarantee that you will have results. You will still need to be committed and consistent with your marketing efforts.

No course or coaching program will benefit you if you do not take action on everything that you’ve learned.

If you are ready to invest in an affiliate marketing mentor, do your research on potential mentors that you are interested in.

Also, regardless of which online business coach you choose, do not go into the coaching program expecting overnight results.

Making a steady income with affiliate marketing requires consistent effort and a long-term mindset.

Best of luck in your online business journey!
