I'm operating under the assumption that most people don't have a clue and those that do aren't going to tell you shit!  |
Hi Failed, that doe's seem to be the trend -getting guidance is what I've found to be very difficult. You have a similar approach to me, I'm definitely not looking to be given a business on a silver platter, I'm here to build one. The way I see it is that the agreement should be mutually beneficial, such as signing up under the mentors affiliate link - that way they will directly benefit and reap a percentage of their teachings.
Other then that surely there are other ways the mentor could benefit, such as link exchanges, getting links from different IPs etc etc.
I've already been burnt by someone who started to take me under their wing. I purchased some very expensive SEO software under their affiliate link, and joined a sponsor under their link only to never hear from them again once I did the software purchase.
But I'm not going to let that put me down me, I really want to give this market a shot

I am aware that many experienced adult webmasters have taken people under their wings in exchange for signing up under them in the past, not sure how that went though.
Take some time to research successful webmasters. Look at source codes, whois, ref codes, analytics id, alexa etc to piece together their strategies and networks.
Copy and adapt to suit your needs.

Hi B.Barnato, thank you for your reply. I do agree, there is a lot of rehashed nonsense out there, but there are also a few gems.
The scenario you describing is something I'm looking for, so anyone who was offered such a great opportunity is stupid not to grab it with both hands!
