    Some things that may help guide our answer:

    - what location are you at?

    - what industry are you in? B2B or B2C?

    - what type of marketing do you currently do? Online, print ads, emails, trade shows, etc?

    Marketing Lesson #1: Instead of advertising what YOU want, you are usually better served telling the target audience what benefit THEY can expect if they do what you are suggesting.

    In your case specifically, it isn't clear how I would benefit from a mentoring arrangement with you. What's in it for me? Swapping your time for mine is only attractive if I understand what you can do and how it will benefit me.

    What sector are you in, what do you hope to get out of this arrangement, how long will you need mentoring, and what do you offer in exchange?

    Hi Everyone,

    I am closing this question since there hasn't been much recent activity.

    Thanks for participating!
