oh my, I did not even know that you can edit a comment after you already published it.

If you can find a shortcut to get rid of the shenanigans, you are better off.

I think having an honest mentor may not be a bad idea. As a newbie, you have an uphill battle ahead of you.

Hi Mike, split into two.....
High ticket refers to the cost of a particular service or product that is being promoted by individuals and by various methods, usually online in this instance.
It's a pretty subjective term because the cost element means different things to different people. What is high ticket (expensive) to one person might not be to another but, generally, I'd say anything that costs into the hundreds of dollars is getting towards "high ticket".
If you look around, a lot of high ticket products are in the 1,000 dollar plus bracket and some even higher. Of course, high cost doesn't necessarily mean high value. That's another perception based on somebody's own particular thought process.
Getting into high ticket usually, but not always, means having to purchase the product or service yourself before being able to market it and qualify for those tantalisingly high commissions.
That's not necessarily a bad thing as it can be argued that in order to promote the product you ought to know what it's all about and what value it might bring to a prospectice purchaser.
To my mind, only my opinion of course, being an affiliate marketer should release you from the obligation of having to purchase something before you are then able to promote it. Also, I have never heard of a car sales person having to buy the model of car they're selling in order to sell them, have you???
Some might argue that Wealthy Affiliate requires you to purchase the product before being able to promote it and that's true but to me the value of WA is contained within it's wide variety of services and not in the ability to promote it and make money from it. That's incidental and completely voluntary.
Apropos mentors, yes the lure of a high ticket product might be that you have access to mentors within that platform but again, just my opinion, you don't necessarily need to pay out significant sums to avail yourself of a mentor.
Mentors come in all shapes and sizes and can appear anywhere you frequent online. You can join a facebook group (free) and the founder will often be seen as a mentor to members within the group, happily disseminating knowledge, offering advice and answering questions. Of course, their doing so might not be completely altruistic in that they will be building their group and brand but, nevertheless, it needn't cost a penny.
The beauty of living in a free(ish) world is that we have choices but they always come with caveats.
Do your due diligence and if something looks a good fit for you go for it. If not, trust your instincts and let it pass.

A high ticket sale is an expensive product with high commission rates. For example if you sold a £2,000 product with 10% commission, you'd get £200. A mentor doesn't have to cost you money, though many will charge for their services
