Alex Goodall's Low-Cost

Internet Professionals

Mentoring Program

 

I am working with a small band of internet marketers, helping them define and fulfil their dreams and ambitions for making a living online.

 

 

My Mentoring Program is built around one core principle, which is this:

If you don't know where you are,
you can't get to where you want to be.

I know that sounds obvious, but, in truth, it is at the core of the problems faced by the majority of internet marketers.

But it gets worse.

If you don't know where you are, you also don't know what you should be doing - and that means you are easy pickings for the enticing offers from expert internet marketers whose starting point is the assumption that YOU need THEIR product or service.

In other words, they are setting your agenda.

So:

• If you want to stop yourself buying things you don't want (saving $$)...
• If you want to know what activities to focus on (saving time)...

...you need to have a clear high-level roadmap for building your business, and you need to know exactly where you are on that roadmap.

My mentoring program is based around exactly that.

It's not about technology

If you have been struggling for more than a few months to make any headway with Internet Marketing, you'll know that the REAL issues have very little to do with traffic generation, testing and tracking, product development etc. These are what I call technology issues.

No, the real issues are concerned with:

• with business purpose, goals and strategy
• with planning and tactics
• with being accountable
• with choosing a business model and an operating model
• with business organization & information management
• with personal efficiency and effectiveness
• with getting your own agenda, and not letting it be hijacked

... and related topics.

All these issues are wrapped up in the central pillar of my mentoring program...

The Internet Marketers
Master Agenda.

 

The first step in the mentoring program is for us to determine exactly which stage you are at, so I know where we need to focus.

You will provide me with a detailed profile, and I will provide you with a detailed analysis based on the Master Agenda. I will also provide you with a recording of me explaining the steps in the Master Agenda - along with the Mind Map above.
 

Once again Alex, thank you so very much for the personalized feedback! It has already had a huge positive impact and I am looking forward to putting all the Master Agenda steps into place. Frankly, your mentoring program could not have showed up at a better time! I was nearing a dead-stop in my business development because I just didn’t know what I needed to be doing next. I was working very hard, yet not getting anywhere! In one week’s time, as a result of your program, I have a clear direction and renewed enthusiasm for creating a profitable and professional business. Amy M.

Some people are very advanced and are already doing JVs with big name marketers before starting my mentoring program. They get value from this program.

Others are just starting out and have never sold anything online before. They also get value from my program.

So - wherever YOU are at, I'm pretty sure I can add value to your business.

 

This is how the program works:

Objectives of the program

The detailed objectives will be different for each individual, but generically they will be the same:

• Be clear about where you are starting from and where you would like to end up at
• Decide on an appropriate path that is right for YOU (although you may already be on it)
• Come up with options (or possibly new options) for travelling down it
• Figure out (or review) the resources and skills needed - and how you can get them
• Help you stay on that path and operate in the most effective and efficient manner

Profiling

To help you understand yourself, and to help me help you, I will give you a "profile" form to complete and send to me.

This will help both of us understand where you are now - based on the Master Agenda and what your current needs are. I will use that information both in our one-to-one communications, and also to guide the overall program.

Meetings

You will be able to attend regular seminars - roughly every week, with occasional breaks for vacations.

I will announce the topic some days beforehand, and the session will consist of a presentation from me, followed by Q & A. Members will be able to suggest topics.

You will be able to access recordings of these session after the events.

They will use VOIP - which means you won't need to dial a long-distance or international number to participate.

You can see what topics I've covered in the past here (you'll get access to recordings and/or slides of these if you sign up).

Accountability

This is optional, but highly recommended, and qualifies you for one-on-one email communication. People find this an extremely valuable discipline.

Each week, you will send me a report (I will provide the format) detailing:
- Your planned activities for the coming week
- Your achievements against your plans for the previous week

I won't comment on them every week; and I won't approve/disapprove them. (I'm not your boss!). But DO assume that I will read them. Also, DO assume that I'll expect you to achieve what you planned each week - that's what "accountability" means! Otherwise, what's the point?

If you send me a report, you will be eligible for one-on-one email communications with me for that week (irrespective of whether or not you achieved your goals for the week!).

One-on-one email communication

I will provide you with a special email address for one-on-one email communications. However, I will only respond in a given week IF you have provided your Accountability report for that week. Expect response times of 1-3 days.

Group Membership

You will be invited to a join a private Google Group where you will be able to have discussions, share experiences with other Members, and possibly develop business partnerships.

Promotional activities of any sort will NOT be allowed - except (under special circumstances) with permission.

Nature of Coaching/Mentoring

The topics covered by this Program will relate to setting up, operating and growing an internet marketing business.

The emphasis will be on issues such as:

• Business purpose, goals, strategy, planning, tactics and models
• Business operations & processes
• Business organization & information management
• Personal efficiency and effectiveness
• Personal psychology
  (e.g. mindset, taking responsibility, developmental levels etc. - but note that I am not a trained psychologist)
• Relationships & business (networking, partnerning, outsourcing)

Topics related to the "technical" aspects of internet marketing (e.g. traffic techniques, using cPanel etc.) will also be in scope, but most often they will be handled by providing references to other sources of training/advice.

Price

$47 per month

Each new mentee takes up a significant amount of my time, so I cannot take on more than a few more people at this point - but there are a few slots available at the moment.

Charges will be fixed for a period of 6 months (maybe more). After that I may review the format and/or services and/or charges.

Variations

As the programme gets underway, I will consult with members and where necessary, make adjustments to how it operates.
