It is worth reflecting back to when you first started working on the internet and how everything seemed so foreign and different to what you were used to doing. This is exactly how new inexperienced affiliates will feel when they join your internet based home business and most of them will be glad of your assistance and mentorship.
Here are some online mentoring tips and ideas you can use to help your new affiliates achieve success while at the same time contributing to the success of your own internet based home business:
Always send a welcome email to your new affiliates and let them know you are always available to help them.
Try and establish what level of internet experience they have so that you are in a better position to assist them.
Skype is such a handy, free online way to communicate and can help tremendously. As an example, an auto-responder is not the easiest thing in the world to set up if you have no prior experience, so if you both have your browsers open on the same web page you can talk your new affiliate through the problem areas.
Having a Getting Started section on your blog with useful tips and hints e.g. ideas on setting up folders in their email client to file their emails, as well as in their Favorites to save the regularly used urls, time management tips and advice on staying organized.
Setting up a series of training emails that can be sent out regularly from your auto-responder is another easy and useful way to provide your recruits with information that they need to get their internet based home business up and running smoothly.
Let them know the benefits of starting a blog and show them how they can set up a blog and start the social networking train.
Send them useful links to help them learn so that they do not waste valuable time searching for information. For example: a step by step guide to learning html, how to open a Google Webmaster Account, how to make a sitemap, how to add a stat counter to their site, how to create an author´s resource box, how to set up a forum signature.
Advise them to search for online directories to submit their website url to create more back links or recommend a directory submitter.
Guide them to the best resources for choosing their keywords and optimizing their website for the search engines.
Send them links to articles you have written so that they can see how to optimize for their keywords and add a resource box.
Offer advice on how to submit their articles and give them a list of your favorite article directories to get started with.
Give them ideas on how to create a lead capture page so they can also start building their list.
Send them free e-books that have helped you build your business.
If your new affiliates start recruiting when they do not have much experience themselves, offer to mentor their new recruits too.
Be sure to share the internet marketing ideas and advertising methods that are working for you with your affiliates. Keeping them a closely guarded secret will only hinder the growth of your own internet based home business.
Mentor your affiliates to the best of your ability and share your success tips, experience and knowledge and you will experience more success with your own internet based home business.
