How can a no-code mentor help me?

No-code is a new and exciting field that’s making app building accessible even if you aren’t a developer. And with the expansion of AI tools, the future of no-code looks even more interesting.

But just because no-code makes app–building easier doesn’t mean that it comes without a learning curve.

Plus, while no-code tools have come a long way in the last few years, they still have their limits. It can be hard to determine if a platform is a good fit for you before investing a great deal of time and effort into it.

Not to mention there’s no true substitute for a developer’s keen eye and experience.

However, if you’re curious about the field, you could simply start by poking around in a no-code tool.

If you’d prefer more formal education, you may find your options a bit more limited since this is a newer field and true expertise isn’t common.

Which is exactly why you’ll want to talk to a no-code mentor. They can act as your guide to all the ins and outs of the field.

A mentor’s “done-with-you” approach is particularly helpful for DIY fields like no-code where you want to understand the why behind it rather than treating it like a black box.

A no-code mentor can help you:

  • Select the right tool for your project’s or company’s needs
  • Build a no-code strategy with systems to measure success
  • Introduce you to the no-code development cycle
  • Shortcut the learning curve for a tool by providing tips and tricks

With a mentor’s help, you’ll have a solid foundation for getting started in no-code.

When should I talk to a no-code mentor?

If you’re not a developer but you want to build an app or proof of concept, it may be the right time to talk to a no-code mentor.

No-code is especially a good choice if:

  • You’re a non-technical solo founder wanting to test MVPs
  • You’re building an app as a side project
  • Your development team is small and you want to experiment without taking up dev resources
  • You want to understand the app development process better but aren’t quite ready to learn a coding language
  • You need to automate simple or small tasks that feel too small for your devs

And a no-code mentor can help you outline a plan of attack for any of the above scenarios.

Why should I talk to a mentor rather than just take a course?

Courses and blog articles can teach you workflows for specific no-code platforms. But, they won’t answer questions like: “what’s the best platform for my needs?”

For that, you need someone with experience.

Our mentors aren’t fluffy theorists. They’ve been in the trenches and been hands-on with the work. They’ve seen fantastic successes, spectacular failures, and everything in-between. They know what works and what doesn’t.

So, you could spend hundreds of hours reading articles, taking courses, and testing out random no-code platforms.

Or you could shortcut all the frustration by talking to a mentor who has walked the path before. And thus get the confidence your no-code plans are on the right track.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

  • They enjoy sharing their knowledge
  • They learn from their mentees
  • They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
  • They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
