On the internet it is well known that it takes time to get established and build up a substantial income online especially when you are sponsoring other affiliates and building a team of like minded individuals.  Their success is your success so using some of these mentoring tips to help your down-line will in turn increase your own online income.

You probably have not forgotten how you felt when you first started working on the internet and how everything seemed so different to what you were used to doing and could be very confusing at times too.  This is exactly how inexperienced affiliates will feel when they join your online income business and most of them will be very glad to have mentor guide them.  

Here are some online mentoring tips and ideas that can be used to help your new affiliates achieve success while at the same time increasing your own online income.

A welcome email to your new affiliates to let them know you are willing to mentor them and share your internet marketing experience with them will be appreciated by many.

Also by establishing what level of internet experience they have, will put you in a better position to assist them, so remember to ask them.
 
Communicating with your new affiliates is the key but email does not have to be the only way.  Skype is a free and easy online way to communicate with your down-line and is ideal for problem solving.  As an example, an auto-responder is not the easiest thing in the world to set up if you have no prior experience, so if you both have your browsers open on the same web page you can talk your new affiliate through the areas that they are difficulties with.

You could set up a section on your blog with useful tips and hints e.g. ideas on setting up folders in their email client to file their emails, as well as in their Favorites to save the regularly used urls, time management tips and advice on staying organized, useful links, etc.

Training emails that can be sent out regularly from your auto-responder is another easy and convenient way to provide your new recruits with the information that they need to get their online income business up and running smoothly.

They will appreciate being advised of the importance of SEO and shown the best resources for choosing their keywords and optimizing their website for the search engines.

Explain the benefits of starting a blog and show them how they can set up a blog so they can then start the social networking train.

Save them wasting valuable time searching for information by sending them useful links.  For example: a step by step guide to learning html, how to set up a forum signature, how to open a Google Webmaster Account, how to make a sitemap, how to create an author’s resource box, how to add a stat counter to their site.

Recommend they submit their site to the online directories to create more back links and even recommend a directory submitter or service you have tried.

Article marketing is another area you can help by explaining the process of how to submit their articles, the submission programs available and give them a list of your favorite article directories so that they have a good place to start.

You could also send them links to articles you have written as examples of how to optimize for their keywords and create a resource box.

Recommend your favorite forums where they can also start contributing and gaining back-links through the link in their forum signature.

They will appreciate free e-books that have helped you build your online income business.

It often happens that a new affiliates starts recruiting when they do not have much experience themselves so offer to mentor their new recruits too until they are more confident with the business.

Explain the benefit of creating a lead capture page so they can also start building their own opt-list.

You will benefit greatly by sharing with your affiliates the internet marketing ideas and advertising methods that are working for you.  Keeping them a closely guarded secret will only hinder the growth of your own online income business. 

Mentoring your affiliates to the best of your ability and sharing your success tips, experience and knowledge will result in you experiencing an increase in your own online income.
