Wish I knew someone that could act as mentor and personal trainer but I don't. Face it if you are good in this biz you are busy making money for yourself.
The only people that are going to reply to your forum post (hate to tell you) are people trying to sell you on their money making opp or people who cant make money on their own, but pretend to know it all and want to take you for a ride.
Have you tried
www.Affiliate Classroom.com? You can do a 2 week trial then see if it's worth it for you then only 29.95 a month. It's step by step training and as close to personal mentoring as you can get. IF you take full advantage of everything they offer. I would try that if I were you.
