Hi Jason, The answer is definitely Yes! I think the reason you have not started getting the help you are looking for is because your question is general. The more specific you will be in the questions you ask, the easier it will be for a mentor to relate to their own experience and help you. Therefore, I encourage you to describe in more details the problems you encounter. This may help you think about leads that you can suggest to receive feedbacks from the mentors. I hope this is helpful.

Hello Jason, In addition to the above details, some mentors may also consider the following before engaging into a mentoring relationship: 1. Mentoring of a minor without consent of a parent 2. Criminal background of the person requiring mentoring 3. Location 4. The area in which help is required - not all mentors are experts at everything.

What I'm trying to find is any mentors that know anything about internet marketing. Or just anything about advertising. Tried to engage numerous mentors give my number and call mentors, but don't get called back. Would like a mentor that follows through.

From my review of the some of the answers from "mentors" in this Ask & Answer Question sections. I am almost 99% sure 99% of the "Mentors" watched a couple episodes of Shark Tanks, read 1 to many business/motivational quotes, and/or read too many online success blogs. You might be better off going to a local Meetup that is focused in the area you want to learn and meet a mentor there.

Jason - there are plenty of good mentors available on Micromentor and lots (hundreds) of matches every month. Two things -

  1. Being specific about what you want will help attract the right type of mentor. (Your profile is a bit vague.) But if you 'just want someone to talk to', it will be harder to attract mentors.

  2. Persistence counts. Not just in finding a mentor, but in starting a business.

I think the reason you are having issues is due to the fact that you are very non-specific in your profile. You want to be specific enough that a mentor can look at your profile and say "Hey I can help that guy with at least one aspect of his problem!"

I recommend focusing on exaclty what you want, as the above suggested, and putting it in your profile. The more definite your purpose, the clearer your vision will be to mentors. Then, a profile picture, solid bio, and professionalism will go a long way.

Some of my greatest mentors came from books I have read.

I'd recommend How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie.

Good luck Jason.

Haven't received any help from any mentors. I feel like even the mentors on this read site are not really helpful and don't give very much advice for free or in exchange for posting on their website.
