Importance of Having a Mentor when Starting an Online Business - by Anand Kumar

There are many things that you have probably thought about when it comes to your work-at-home online home businesses, but having a mentor might not be one of them. However, if you have not thought of it, you might want to start thinking of it, because having a mentor for your business can really be something that you can benefit form.

A mentor is someone who has been there before. They can give you advice, tell you stories about what has happened to them, and pass on contacts along with wisdom. When you have a mentor who has been there and done that – meaning that they have actually been in your position, they are going to be much more able to really understand what you are going through, and really know what it is that you want them to tell you.

When I was still starting about 10 months ago, nearly every single knowledge that I acquired was through a mentor. I must admit that it was not easy and everything seemed to be very confusing to me. He became my official mentor and has been very helpful with his honest and realistic advices.


A mentor is a light in the darkness, an arm around your shoulder when things have not gone well, the kick in your rear when you deserve it and a pat on the back when you have achieved your goals.

I'm still in regular contact with my mentor. Over the course of building up my online home business, I will encounter many hurdles but know that there is someone that I can pick up the phone and get some honest advice. I encourage you to look for your own mentor and perhaps in time become a mentor for someone else.

Basic Steps Of Earning Money From Home - by Anand Kumar

Everyone wants tips on how to earn money with a online home based business. However, a lot of people with a work at home business are not earning some money. Just because you have joined a MLM or affiliate program, don’t think just by sitting back you will make some money. This will achieve nothing but dissatisfaction and frustration.

Here are some tips to be on the right track. If you honestly do these things, and still don’t make any money then maybe a home business is not for you. But you need to be honest about this and put out the effort.

• Create your website using host servers such as "Just Host" or "GoDaddy". They are cheap but provide very good quality service.

• When you first start with a work at home business, set out at least an hour a day devoted to your business.

• Spend the first day advertising your business on the free classified websites and social media sites (like facebook, Squidoo, Twitter). There are literally thousands of these sites to advertise on.

• If you have a website for your business, then spend day 2 submitting your website to all of the search engines, Yahoo, MSN, Google, AOL, etc.

• Day 3 start submitting articles to ezines as this is a very good way to promote and market your business.

• Day 4 start by writing an article to use in the yahoo groups. And with this article your can promote your website at the end of the article.

• Day 5 submit your business to the various business message boards, there are lots out there that let you post an ad for your home business.

• Day 6 you will want to start advancing up and checking for “Leads” that are interested in starting a home business. When you find a good source you will want to start emailing them. To do this you will want a good auto responder to handle the high volume of emails. Aweber would be a good recommendation for autoresponders.

• Day 7 you will want to start this process all over again.

You can do these steps in any order, but remember persistence is the key.

Spend an hour a day for the first 30 days on these items. Each day promote your business in a different way.

Within 30 days you will start to see the rewards of your work that you only spent 7-10 hours a week on! Further more don’t expect to get rich overnight. The businesses offering “pie in the sky” so to speak do yourself a favor and stay away from those type of offers.

Do yourself a favor when you get involved with a work at home business. You owe it to yourself to give it an honest try. Nothing will happen, if you don’t do anything.
