The blog mentor engages in conversation with the visitors who are commenting on the blog, encouraging them to discuss life on a deeper level and leading them into chat or email mentoring when they are ready.
A few tips for connecting a visitor on the blog with chat or mentoring:
- Blog mentoring is unique from other mentoring because the conversations are taking place in a public area. Anyone can view and engage in it. Therefore, blog mentors must be aware that they cannot mentor in the ways they may use to in a private email scenario.
- Blog mentors are there to monitor blog activity and help encourage conversations towards a deeper, more spiritual place. If the conversations reach that point, they should provide a way for the visitor to connect with a mentor one-on-one, letting the visitor know they can confide in a mentor who will be there for them personally. They should not ask for personal details on the blogs themselves.
- When the visitor is ready to connect one-on-one with an email mentor, there are simple links the blog mentor can provide in their response on the blog:
- Chat: http://powertochange.com/discover/chat/
- Talk to a Mentor: http://powertochange.com/discover/talk-to-a-mentor/
- Prayer: http://powertochange.com/discover/need-prayer/
Each blog visitor’s journey will be unique. Some will be ready for a spiritual conversation from day one, others will need time. Blog mentors are ready and willing to walk alongside each of them as they take the next step in their journey.
