How Do You Find an Online Mentor Willing To Help You Start Your Online Business

Are you frustrated trying to figure out how to get your online business started all by yourself?

Are you tired of looking for somebody you can trust to mentor you online, and answer your questions without joining their membership site, or coaching program with membership fees you really can not afford at this time.

How do you go about finding an online mentor for the help you are looking for?

* First of all admitting you are having problems figuring out all the techie stuff, never mind the creative sales process involved is the first step.

* Second, you must do your own research & find a true mentor. You must not skip this important step, take some time and research online who is working in your specific area of interest. It is suggested you spend some time in forums, social communities, article directories, and anywhere your target audience gather to ask each other questions.

* Third, after you have done your preliminary research, and identified a few prospective online marketers that you can relate to, focus on creating a short list
of contacts, try contacting them and see what response you get.

* Fourth, search online for their name and do more extensive homework, learn all you can about them. Its just like researching for a prospective employer, you need to know as much as you can before the interview.

* Fifth, try out their newsletters, get on their list, and see how they communicate with their readers, or if they have any interesting offers check the offer out, you may find an introductory offer, free or trial offer that you can test drive first.

Then ask them if they are willing to help you in any way- interview them!
