Mentors and Daily Tasks

When I first started investigating the businesses and opportunities, fewer people were writing about the importance of having someone that could really help you. The word and title of Mentor was thrown about , but I never found one.Believe me, I doubt that in the year 2004, there were probably 50 people that did find one. Everyone was busy making products writing e-books and reports,or being an affiliate. In fact "programs" weren't the norm back then. We now have an interesting blend and more opportunities than ever, which lead to short attention spans and collapsed programs. If you are reading this you are probably an internet marketer. So lets review some of your daily tasks right now or almost daily tasks.


* Build a list
* rent a list
* safelists and text ad exchanges
* video making
* social networking
* blogging
* leads and phone
* Traffic exchanges
* classifieds
* ad boards
* ppc
* seo
* articles
* e-zine
* advertising
* web site design
* splash page design
* autoresponder



No wonder we get confused, feeling completely lost! I haven't even touched on the different diciplines like "The Secret" Magnetic sponsoring,The Law of Attraction or any of that. That's one big mean list already and what we are really trying to do is present something that we feel people want and will pay us for it.

There is some good news! After writing this list one day I looked at what I was doing in each task and then I tried my best to start automating some of the tasks. The way to explain this process to me is by using the term layering. You do have a starting point and you build it like a cake , in layers to where all these activities feed upon themselves and bring you credible traffic and people start to see that you are an active marketer.An active marketer? Why is that important? Because that's how people will start to approach you and you can find more help, tips and tricks along with that person you really understand who will hopefully become your Mentor!
Lets look at the layering process and order tomorrow. I do however know of a very caring Group If you would like to check out the Team I work with, then I invite you to TEAM EXSITE.

Have I "Been there, Done that?"

Have I "Been there, Done that?"

The gruesome answer is Yes. I have certainly been thrust into the grinder of learning your way around internet marketing.I've gone through every setting , pulse,chop and grind. Just like you probably have, I've studied a few e-books, read more than my fair share of odd e-mails promising instant riches without lifting a finger. Oh yeah, you just push a button!

Sitting at my desk composing the beginning of my odyssey, I can't begin to tell you gentle reader just how confusing, lonely and expensive it was.I had just learned how to copy and paste and I was sure that I could make a sizable income on the internet.Besides, from the description of duties and talents needed, it wasn't hard at all! This all started for me in 2004 and didn't begin to truly make sense to me until 2008.We will visit the advice given to me and the truths told tomorrow!
