ADPList for Mentors

What ADPList gives you

A place where mentees can find you by expertise, company or location, read your bio and reviews, and book a slot on your calendar. Once a session completes, it counts toward your session count, your minutes and your attendance rating. Mentees can see that record. ^{[5] [2]}

What it costs you

Time and attendance. A no-show counts against your attendance rating, and repeat violations of the guidelines lead to strikes. Reminders matter more than they seem, and ADPList’s own advice is to send them a week and a day before each call. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

Money you can’t yet forecast. ADPList’s current mentor pages don’t state a payout fee, tax handling or withdrawal options, so you can’t work out what you keep from a paid session from them alone. Ask ADPList before you set a price, and read the tips for mentors. ^[2]

Your first three months

Month one: set the calendar. Add availability, a session length and a bio. Keep the first slots short and specific, because most completed sessions run 30 minutes. ^{[2] [4]}

Month two: run the reminders. Send one a week and one a day before each call, switch off auto-accept, and check attendance. Ask any mentee below 90% attendance to confirm. ^[6]

Month three: read your own record. Look at your reviews and attendance rating. If the same complaint appears twice, fix that one thing first.

Growing: keep the record clean

Mentees can see your attendance rating, so keep it high by confirming calls and being on time. Mentors may not schedule reviews for commercial reasons, and only Advance members may promote paid mentorship. ^{[5] [7]}

Protecting yourself

Your profile text and posts fall under a non-exclusive licence to ADPList, so keep anything you consider confidential out of your bio. Agree in writing with a mentee before you record a Journal session, because the Terms and privacy policy don’t say whether a mentor must consent. ^{[8] [9]}

Should you join as a mentor?

Yes, if you meet the five-year bar and can keep a steady calendar. Ask about payouts before you set a price, and keep your attendance high, because mentees can see that record.
