*** Online Mentorship Programs: Cash in on Your Expertise ***
by Marcia Yudkin
Whether you're a former retail store owner known for your
creativity, a championship bridge player, or a psychotherapist
with a long current waiting list for openings, if you possess
expertise that makes colleagues and aficionados want your
pearls of wisdom, you can create a new income stream with an
online mentorship program.
Such a program charges a fee for people to sit at your feet and
learn from you. The program would have a special focus (not for
everyone) and offer information, resources, advice, insider
tips and problem solving. While a mentorship program could take
place in the "real world", it is especially easy to set it up,
promote and run it online.
Before I created my online mentorship program,
MarketingforMore.com, in the fall of 2003, I did extensive
research on fees and features of other programs. I looked most
closely at seven examples whose fees ranged from $30 a month to
just less than $600 a month.
At the lower end of this spectrum, $30 a month didn't give
members very much personal access to the expert around whom the
program revolved, while at nearly $600 a month, a member
received just about unlimited private access to the expert.
Likewise, the program with the lowest fee accepted anyone who
applied, while the higher fees required application, with no
guarantee of acceptance.
Features in the online mentorship programs I looked at included
some or all of these:
* Topical teleclasses or conference calls
* Member newsletter
* Member-only articles
* Feedback and advice from the designated expert
* Discounts on products and services
* Fr'ee books, tapes or reports
* Fr'ee in-person meetings
* Group discussion board
You should do this research yourself to see who has a program
similar to yours, what they charge and what they offer. Join a
couple of mentorship programs and learn from what you like and
don't like in what they do.
When you decide to go ahead, you can either buy a readymade
software program for running such an online program or create
your own web site. Membergate (www.membergate.com) is the best
and most reliable such tool, with a one-time licensing fee of
$3,500 and up. Since my husband is a programmer, we built our
own site with a password-protected area and an online
application for prospective members to fill out.
However much or little you decide to charge, it's essential for
members to feel they're getting their money's worth, and that
means that you must offer quite a lot of member-only content,
with fresh material added often. I not only quit one mentorship
site but also asked for my money back because it didn't live up
to the promise of listings that were updated daily and the site
owner appeared to be nowhere in evidence.
Be flexible in what you're willing to offer members. I started
off thinking that a member-only discussion board was the best
way for members to get feedback and advice from me, but I
learned that while some members loved that, others preferred
the exchange of ideas in a live conference call. So I added
those to my program.
Because I thoroughly researched and planned before launching my
online mentorship program and have remained determined to have
members think they're getting an unbelievable deal,
MarketingforMore.com got off to a successful start and has
continued to grow. Good luck cashing in on your expertise!

"The problem is at your end"
One of Microsoft's finest technicians was drafted and sent to
boot camp. At the rifle range, he was given some instruction, a
rifle, and bullets. He fired several shots at the target. The
report came from the target area that all attempts had
completely missed the target.
The technician looked at his rifle, and then at the target. He
looked at the rifle again, and then at the target again. He put
his finger over the end of the rifle barrel and squeezed the
trigger with his other hand. The end of his finger was blown
off, whereupon he yelled toward the target area, "It's leaving
here just fine, the trouble must be at your end!"
