online business mentoring programs Archives

One of the best online business mentoring programs I’ve found online is Stuart and Jay’s SFM – Six Figure Mentors. (See Entrepreneurial Success Mentors). Through the program I’ve learned how to set up a fully digital online business system, and learn about the various marketing strategies available to market a ready made sales funnel.

The SFM business is a fully working “business in a box” and can be used by anyone to build an income from anywhere; using either a pre-built business system or any number of other online business strategies you choose.

Online Business Mentoring Programs – The SFM

The SFM offers a range of products for anyone who wants to learn digital marketing and build a business without having any products of their own. You can also use the education, as I did, to build an existing business.

When I joined The SFM back in 2014, I had a failing martial arts school. What I learned from The SFM were a number of marketing strategies which I used to build up my school. I also learned how to make sales online of the SFM’s own product range through various marketing tactics.

I’ve tried many online business mentoring programs, but none of them offered the personal tuition which The SFM does. Even for a basic level of membership, you can access a number of groups which offer personal help and advice on any aspect of your business.

Online Mentoring – One-to-One Support

At the higher levels of membership, you can surround yourself with mastermind groups to keep you motivated, hold you accountable and help you overcome any mindset or technical hurdle towards succeeding in your business.

Previous online business mentoring programs I had taken online did offer help and advice too. However, there was no support on a personal level. You were always on your own when the chips were down! The SFM offers live meetings globally with events being held around the year. Local groups hold events and get togethers too to help and support each other.

There’s also a number of live meetings being held online which you can access on joining as a member of the community. Even at basic membership levels there’s a huge resource of training and support for business owners who want some help and advice in marketing their own business.

Online Business Mentoring Programs – Who’s It For?

So who is The SFM for? The SFM offers a multiple skill training and education platform which is geared around online marketing strategies and building an online business. You can use SFM’s own digital product range, or use the training and support to build an existing business with the various trainings on various online marketing platforms.

Many members have other businesses too, and many build “lifestyle” businesses using only the SFM product range. Often members simply want to escape the 9 to 5 job or a career they feel trapped in.

Online Business Mentorship – The Product Range

SFM’s product range includes a number of high commission affiliate products which offer multiple earning strategies from a built in sales funnel. Many affiliate products you can choose to sell online only pay you once, and pay small levels of commission. With digital products, you can earn up to 50% commission on a single sale. Plus, with SFM’s product range you can also earn from multiple strategies:

High Commission Structure – Having access to larger commissions means you can use paid marketing more easily. Lower levels of the product range membership won’t allow this.
Multi-tier sales – at the top level of the business, you can earn ongoing commissions from sales made by your team of referrals. This means you can benefit from helping your team in terms of commissions.
Up-sells – Having a product range gives you more ways to earn commissions. A built in sales team closes sales on your behalf after your initial referral. You can benefit from a sale even years later if your member upgrades their membership.
Subscription products – Using recurring commission affiliate programs means you benefit from ongoing income from previous sales. Sell a product once and earn potentially a lifetime of commissions.
Digital products – using a digital product range means you can sell globally through an email marketing campaign. Digital products pay 40-50% commissions in some cases because there’s very few other costs involves such as postage or handling etc.

Why Get An Affiliate Marketing Mentor?

My journey with affiliate marketing started over 10 years ago. I jumped from one ‘system’ to another, frantic to make some money from the internet. What I found was disappointment after disappointment! I don’t want the same for you! You can benefit from all the time I spent and the mistakes I made!

A simple way to avoid all of these mistakes is to get a mentor and join an online community where you’ll get the help you need. See digital success mentoring program. You can still go wrong of course, no matter what you do. Affiliate marketing is a great business model when it’s working. But it’s a really frustrating one when it isn’t.

By joining an online community, you can learn from people who are actually earning online. One of the main problems with affiliate marketing is all the help and advice out there isn’t necessarily coming from people who have ‘walked the walk’ themselves. Often it’s from newbie affiliates themselves, trying to make a buck!

Problems With Affiliate Marketing

There’s a few problems with affiliate marketing which can be avoided with the right mentor. Here’s a short list but also see Why Affiliate Marketing Does Not Work:

Overwhelm – there’s too much information on the internet about affiliate marketing. If you start subscribing to many lists, you’ll be inundated and this leads to information overload – then comes inactivity!

Shiny Object Syndrome – Every affiliate marketer promises some ‘easier system’ which out performs the last. If you keep buying into this lie, you’ll be struggling forever, jumping from one product to another.

Being a busy fool – affiliate marketers need to learn how to control their time. Focusing on money producing activities is vital to begin earning as an affiliate. Otherwise you can spend all day on unimportant takes and never make any money.

9 to 5 thinking teaches us that despite our productivity we still get paid. With affiliate marketing it’s different. You need to be productive or you won’t get paid. Old habits can hinder our progress and we need to start thinking like an entrepreneur, not a ‘technician’. Work on yourself and on your business, don’t get caught up working ‘in’ your business.

Growth is aways limited by your thinking – that’s why you need a mentor. You can’t see what you don’t know; a mentor can!

How To Get A Mentor

You can join an online community and follow a number of mentors by signing up on this website for the free workshop videos. (see sign up form at the side, or bottom of the website). From there you can join The SFM digital mentor program and learn from a number of online marketers. To join the SFM you’ll need to purchase the App and become a member. See Six Figure Mentors Cost for more information.

What SFM Membership Gives You

The SFM (Six Figure Mentors) membership gives you access to an online community of marketers, entrepreneurs and business owners. Through this membership you can either use the education to learn digital marketing for an existing business, or build an online business from scratch using affiliate marketing.

The SFM offers it’s own digital business system in which you can promote digital products and services. A key to success with affiliate marketing is to use the right products and services in your promotions.

For example, digital products pay much more in commission than physical affiliate products. Subscription products pay you ongoing commissions from previous sales. Just using these two bits of information has helped my immensely with my affiliate marketing business. See digital success mentoring program for more details on what The SFM offers its members.
