Hi Vinct,
welcome to the community.
gobala is quite modest, and i think he is a good mentor.
if you arent already visiting gobalakrishnan.com you should.
i get a lot of ideas from him.
you may also consider some resources i found useful, like the course at internet marketing center at marketingtips.com. before his untimely death, corey rudl was considered by many to be at the forefront of internet marketing the package is on the more expensive side at $197, but it comes with abt 1000 pages of printed material, and a whole bunch of CDs and DVDs. if i'm not wrong for the latest edition they also included blogging for dollars for free.
i also found ultimateaffiliateweapon.com by Ewen Chia to be useful in promoting my affiliate marketing. using the skills in WAS and UAW, i was able to achieve abt $1.2k in pure profit (the sales amount was prob abt $2.5k of so) in just 3 weeks (purely from affiliate mktg).
so you are right in saying that an essential part of your success is having the right mentors and accessing the right materials.
and if you have any questions you can post them here too.
cheers!
