Don’t Want to Pay for a Mentor? Then do this…
A free approach to getting through beginner's hell
You’ve made the decision.
You want to be a:
. Coder
. Copywriter
. Social media guru
You’ve set up your X account and seen people branding themselves as the person to move you to your goals faster.
The problem is… you either:
. Don’t have money to invest in a mentor.
. Don’t know who is the right person to help.
. Don’t feel comfortable handing over money.
Well, isn’t that convenient?
I mean, there are many people to learn from.
Luckily for you, part of the meta on X and other social media sites is to ‘give value’.
So, you should take that value.
For now.
I’m very pro getting a mentor, but not right at the beginning.
How to Take Value
You’re a complete beginner.
You have a LOT to learn.
You should first:
1. Sign up for newsletters.
Almost every content creator will have a newsletter. These are full of information that you can enjoy.
There are creators whose newsletters are so good that they include full eBooks. eBooks with compiled tips on how to level up .
Sign-up, follow what they say, and improve .
2. Read people’s content.
This is simple…
When you follow the right people, your news thread should be full of easy-to-follow advice.
You don’t need to learn the hard way.
Follow these fundamentals. If you disagree, then fine, don’t follow it.
Most of it will be useful, though, and it’s a great free resource for people who are beginners hell.
3. Ask questions.
Part of the benefit of social media is that the posts people make are not rhetorical — you can respond!
In the early stages, you should be engaging, making friends, and communicating.
People are very selfless and happy to help because that’s what wins in this space.
It is normal for you to reach out in the DMs and on the news feed and ask questions. If you’re not a pest, this is a great way to break the ice on a potential friendship and learn something in the process.
It’s a trade-off
This is how you should approach learning in the beginning stages.
You yourself should be working to become an authority, as a provider of value.
The ‘learning phase’ should never stop, but the further you go, you more you should be using your knowledge.
The tips above will get you on the fast path to becoming someone others look to.
Enjoy learning!
You will have so many things to learn at the start, and a mountain of free information is all over the internet.
I’d spend a fair amount of time learning these things while the learning curve is generous.
When you understand how things work, you’ll make a more informed decision about a mentor.
You should learn what you can, and know what you need.
I’m sure there are ‘gurus’ who package the free information that is already available to you and sell it.
Don’t reward them for this.
Do the same work.
The moment you pay money for someone to help you, it should be something you have no doubts about.
It should be a no-brainer that this person is who you need to get to the next level.
Good luck out there!
