I like the whole idea of mentor mentee process.
To speed things up for my own experience, I got this Fiverr gig -
http://fiverr.com/thealchemyst/teach-you-how-to-mine-bitcoins-via-the-cloudThe key points via thealchemyst's perspective:
- Setup a funding account, buy some Bitcoins via Coinbase.com or wherever
- Will need $100 or $200 worth of BTC to get started with this cloud mining
- One of the best cloud miner is CEX.io to start mining
