It’s going to help you spot the difference between a bad affiliate marketing mentor and an EFFECTIVE one. 

And trust me, having the right mentor can make ALL the difference in the world.

There’s nothing worse than spending hours working on your new online business venture (and $1,000s) with a lousy mentor only to have absolutely nothing to show for it 12 months down the line.

It’s…

why you need an affiliate marketing mentor

I had some terrible mentors when I first started out 8 years ago, I got scammed dozens of times and bought so many lousy half-baked courses that got me nowhere. Thankfully, I’ve had some great mentors too, gone on to earn $100,000s with affiliate marketing and officially been recognised as a Super Affiliate.

Long story short, I know my stuff, and I’ll only ever give it to you straight.

Why Do You Need An Affiliate Marketing Mentor?

A good affiliate marketing mentor is going to arm you with the practical training, tools, support and accountability you need to start earning commissions and achieve your online income goals.

They will work with you to help you come up with the winning idea and proven plan of attack that ensures you actually enjoy the business-building process and get the results you’re after.

Having an affiliate marketing mentor can play a huge role in how quickly you become profitable because you don’t have to second-guess yourself. You’ll be able to skip the common newbie mistakes and save yourself years of trial and error.

6 Qualities Of A Good Affiliate Marketing Mentor

While every affiliate marketing mentor has their own style and way of doing things, there are some common traits that good affiliate marketing mentors have.

Here are a few:

1. They Walk The Walk

Imagine hiring a Spanish tutor who can’t speak Spanish fluently…

Or getting a guitar teacher who doesn’t know the pentatonic scale…

If I’m looking for a personal trainer to help me bulk up, I’m going to go with someone who looks ripped because obviously, they know what they’re talking about. I can learn from them because they’ve already done what I want to do.

So when you’re looking for an affiliate marketing mentor, look for someone who is experienced and successful. It’s less about their credentials or how they present themselves and more about what they’ve actually achieved.

“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want, copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”

2. Keeps It Simple

You don’t want an affiliate marketing coach who makes everything seem more complex than it really is because either they don’t know what they’re talking about or they’re deliberately trying to confuse you.

Either way, it’s not a good sign.

A good affiliate marketing mentor is going to break everything down for you in a beginner-friendly, easy-to-follow way so you can understand and apply it.

Smart people simplify complicated things and stupid people complicate simple things.

3. They Show You The Entire Process

You want to learn from experienced affiliate marketers who are going to show the whole process from start to finish with nothing missing.

I’ve seen people pay $1,000s for affiliate marketing courses only to realise they’re only getting access to piecemeal information and they’ll have to shell out even more on endless upgrades and upsells to get the whole picture.

It’s unethical, it’s unfair but it does happen.

So be sure to check with your prospective mentor that they’re going to cover everything you need to build a successful affiliate marketing business from the ground up from A to Z before going all in.

4. They Equip You With The Tools You Need

You want an affiliate marketing mentor who won’t just tell you what to do but will arm you with the tools and resources you need to make it happen

And only the tools you actually need – nothing more, nothing less.

If you meet one of these make-money online coaches or gurus who tell you to sign up for everything going, run for their hills. It’s a sign they’re out to squeeze you for every dime.

5. They Are Readily Available

Starting an online business (or anything new) can be daunting and one of the biggest reasons people look for an affiliate marketing coach is they want that assurance they’ll have an expert on hand they can call on to ask questions, discuss things with, bounce ideas off and get feedback from.

This is why accessibility is key.

However you communicate with them, you want need someone who isn’t going to make you wait 3 days for a reply. That’s just going to demotivate you and cripple your chances of success.

6. They Genuinely Care About Your Success

Whoever you choose should actually care about your success. If there’s one quality you want in an affiliate marketing mentor more than any other it’s this one.

Why?

Because then they’re always going to put YOU first – they’ll be honest with you, go out of their way to remove every obstacle, give you the best possible training and do anything within their power to make the journey as smooth and straight as they can.

And with a mentor like that… well, the sky isn’t the limit, it’s your starting point.

We’re Ready When You’re Ready

Most people read about affiliate marketing and never follow through. They want to achieve great things online and talk about it nonstop, sure, but they never take the first step.

But not you.

You’re going to start right here and completely obliterate your income goals. You’ll create a thriving online business and earn affiliate commissions around the clock before you know it.
