Running an internet marketing business is much like running any other business except that it is usually less tangible – there are often no premises or other physical manifestation of the business beyond what appears on screen – and it can often involve very little in the way of real (face to face) human contact. This sense of isolation means that finding a mentor to help you progress is one of the vital ingredients to moving your business forward.
When you’re first starting out, you can use forums and Facebook groups as surrogate mentors and some people find that these work well throughout their internet marketing career.
