As an experienced online seller on eBay, I have been approached
and asked by many strangers to individually help them in their bid
to become a successful online marketer and money maker. Of course, I
would try to help where I can but today I think it is high time that
I share with them something that we have discovered years ago.
In our early days, we too were seeking for mentors to guide us in
our online projects. We have approached those so called internet
marketing experts both local and outside of Malaysia as well. To our
dismay, they didn’t really provide us with that much help at all.
Suffice to say that we have wasted hundreds and thousands of dollars
on crap eBooks and lousy paid online supports. It wasn’t long after
that when we finally found what we today define as the best mentors
we ever had! No, they are not individuals but rather more like a big
community of helpful and generous folks!
So, who are they? Are they: Some self proclaimed internet
millionaires that promotes themselves in the Web or in the
newspapers? Nope! Most of these internet millionaires would care
nothing other than to siphon out all of your money and invest them
on their products. There is no way in hell that they would help you
for free! Some internet gurus (such as morons like me! ) that also
promotes themselves in the Web and in any offline media? Nope too!
These people would help you all right but only after you bought
their products in the first place. They would try to be nice and
gives you free tips here and there but in all honesty, they simply
do not have the time to provide any kind of mentorship to anybody!
So, who in the world that could really provide excellent and
honest mentorship to newbies then? As we had found out years ago,
the answer lies in the most unlikely groups. They are actually those
moms and dads who are working at home running their very own online
businesses. Surprised? So did us! But we are not kidding at all.
Work-at-home moms and dads are actually the pioneers of home based
business! They are the original first generation of online marketers
and online money makers. They are special! They quitted their
daytime jobs just to spend more time with their kids at home. They
soon ventured into some kind of home based work or home based
businesses to help finance their new lifestyles. Many were forced to
do so because of their sick and ailing kids that have been diagnosed
with major diseases such as cancer, pneumonia and even HIV. They are
passionate loving people and I shed tears whenever I think of them
and all the sacrifices that they have to make for the sake of their
children.
So, if you are looking for a mentor to guide you in your online
business, look no further today. Every city in the world today has
many associations or communities of work-at-home moms and dads
somewhere. Just look for them in the Web and join their community.
They are the best friends and mentors that any aspiring online
business entrepreneurs could ever have. Period! If you are a
Malaysian, give
eHomemakers Dot Net a shot. They are a bunch of work-at-home
moms and dads too and their Malaysian community is growing larger
and larger everyday.
To all moms and dads working at home today, I dedicate this
article for every one of you! You guys are the greatest!
