Well, first and foremost, welcome to the Wealthy Affiliate platform, Derrick!

Second, I would encourage you to take the next step by becoming a Premium Member because you'll be able to further your education, simply because you'll have access to a lot more training.

Third, in looking for a mentor, I would say to be a great student. This would go beyond just asking questions - anyone can do that - but go through posts, read comments, welcome new members, answer any questions you can answer. In other words, don't just look to "get" but see how you can contribute. In keeping with the motto of this community pay it forward.

This is an incredible community; anytime I sent someone a Private Message seeking help, people went above and beyond to help me. I think the main reason has to do with how giving people on this platform. But I also believe that a small part of the help I received had to do with the fact that I was involved with the community. I was an active participant.

I never sought a mentor, but they came to me as I continued to be engaged and give to others.

Granted, these are just my thoughts based on my experience. Hope it helps.

All the best to you, Derrick!
