Healthy Food Near Me – Farm To Table Or Home Grown

I was lucky to discover a source of healthy food near me recently. I had become interested in the farm to table movement in food acquisition.

I started a habit of reading the entire city newspaper (it’s small!) every week, and kept an eye out for fresh food sources.

Because I want to stay my healthiest in retirement – and you do too, don’t you?

One aspect of success in having a work at home job as a senior, is health. And aspects of health are:

  • Good sleep
  • Exercise appropriate for your age and general condition
  • Good fresh food with no chemicals and bad fats to increase our inflammation levels
  • Good company including pets if you can have one

What Is The Farm To Table Process?

Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork, and in some cases farm-to-school) is a social movement which promotes serving local food at restaurants and school cafeterias, preferably through direct acquisition from the producer (which might be a winery, brewery, ranch, fishery, or other type of food producer which is not strictly a “farm”).- Wikipedia 

What Does The Farm To Table Food Network Hope To Accomplish?

  • Provide optimal health and nutrients to communities and decrease the risk of diseases that are related to diet
  • Introduce seasonal foods that are produced locally
  • Offer a healthy diet and fresh food to all members of a community
  • Create a direct connection between those who farm the food and those who consume it
  • Help the environment and the community by alleviating the need for the transportation of food from other states or countries
  • Encourage the public to participate in the promotion of local food and community
  • Help strengthen local businesses so that the communities can grow financially and monetary funds can circulate

That list is from Eco Caters

Can The Farm To Table Food Trend Help You To Stay Healthy?

It can, absolutely, yet here is where my farm to table food ideas departs somewhat. I’m talking about food going from a farm to your table, directly.

If the produce is local, it should be less expensive, right? And a lot of it is.

But first, what’s in your local stores? Buying organic foods at super markets is expensive, generally.

You can explore your local stores and check the pricing. Go to the store manager and ask them what the most local produce is. Just be friendly and be sure to thank the person for their time.

In one of my local markets there is a bulk section. I discovered that organic steel cut oats are half the price of non-organic Quaker and other brand oats. Nuts and mixes are also cheaper than the same packaged produce.

Check out the local farmers market. The fresh produce isn’t always organic, but one thing you can count on – it’s fresh!

There are special washes you can buy to rinse off food sprays. Hot water and vinegar will rinse off sprays and shellacs too.

Visit the Local Harvest site and see where you can shop or order food online.

How Can I Eat Healthy And Cheap?

Need some healthy food ideas?

First, think of fresh, unprocessed foods.Foods like:

  • Vegetables
  • Salads
  • Nuts
  • Eggs
  • Dairy
  • Meats/fish

Canned foods and cartons of vegetable/chicken/beef broths are great to have in the cupboard for back ups when you get snowed in, or otherwise blocked from shopping for fresh produce.

For daily meals, plan to eat at home, and make meals as you go, or bag and freeze portions while fresh.

Bear in mind, I am talking to seniors here, not families. If you are a senior living with a family, all the better! However, it seems many seniors live alone or in a couple.

I am also considering in this article, that many seniors are living on a pretty low income. So you need some thought to get a food budget drilled down. A budget that will provide for fresh healthy foods.

My lucky find was:

Brite Farm newspaper ad

You can click on the photo of the Brite Creek Farm ad to see the website. 

Being able to buy fresh eggs and pasture raised beef is is a huge boost for getting healthier food in my diet. I can get grass fed beef in the grocery store, but it is from New Zealand and Canada (not specified per package) and how can I tell how long the shipping took? I really don’t know. The Brite Creek Farm beef is frozen fresh, in small batches.

Works for me!

I would hope you can find such a source. The ground beef is $6.99 a pound. Broken down to 1/4 pound in a meal, it is way cheaper than the fast food/frozen with additives/processed on feed lot/from South America which is burning down the rain forest to pasture beef…You get my argument right?

If you live in a big city, find the nearest rural centered small town, and check their newspaper. There are two adds for fresh eggs in my area, and once I drove around I saw several other signs for eggs. 

I found another farm selling fresh apples, pears, both in several varieties. They were one third less in price than the local super markets. Because they don’t have to be shipped, right?

The following contributed article gives some good ideas if you will consider growing your own food, in a limited space.

Container Vegetable Gardening Basics by Larry L. Taylor

Gardening can be a lot of fun, but for those who do not have a yard or sufficient space to spread out, container gardening is a great alternative. Not only is container vegetable gardening easy for beginners to pick up, it’s also possible to grow a large variety of vegetables in a container garden.

In order to grow a successful container garden, there are a few basic tips that can help you get started. Most vegetables require six hours or more of sunlight every day. Ensure that there is a place where the vegetables can be placed where they will be warm and receive a lot of sunlight. If living in an area where there is a lot of sunlight, you might have to add some shade in order to protect them.

In addition to sunlight, vegetables also need to be watered constantly. During their peak growing time, the soil in the container should be moist to the touch, although not dripping. Adding too much water will cause the roots to rot while not enough water will stunt their growth. Test the moisture levels in the soil every day by sticking your finger in.

Temperature is an important part of maintaining a garden. When it starts to get cold outside, the vegetable containers should be brought inside since freezing temperatures can kill them. If the containers are too large to make moving easy, it is possible to use a garden fleece to protect them.

When choosing a container for the vegetable garden, the sky is the limit. you may want to use traditional garden planters and pots which are well-ventilated. The wooden ones are decorative and can look very nice on a patio or a balcony. For a non-traditional container choice, think outside the box and even consider making your own. Remember that any container must have some sort of drainage system. The container should have a small hole in the bottom so that excess water won’t build up. Each container should have one hole that’s larger as well as several small ones.

If you travel a lot or don’t have much time to water the vegetables, consider self-watering containers. However, you will need to make sure that any excess water has space to be poured away. Plastic, ceramic, and terracotta are some of the more popular choices.

Once you’ve chosen the containers for the vegetables, fill them with a potting soil. Buy prepared potting soil from a gardening store to get the best results. Also, be sure to pick up some garden fertilizer to promote the health of your vegetables. After filling the containers, start to plant vegetables. You can either plant seeds or young plants, although beginning gardeners usually have better results with young plants.

The sky is the limit as far as vegetable choices, but some of the easiest vegetables to grow are peas, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, zucchini, and radishes. If you have a long planter, you can also grow beans or other vegetables which need room to spread out.

Container gardening is a great option for the avid gardener who may not have room for a traditional garden. They are an attractive addition to a patio or balcony and are a lot of fun throughout the year.

Write For A Blog

Welcome to my blog about making money at home! Can I tell you all about that on this page? Well, yes and er – no. Well, mostly yes.

Source of top image.

Blog Writing For Beginners

 

Have you ever thought about this and wished you could wave a magic wand (or make a few point-and-clicks) and have a blogmagic wand with stars appear? And just start writing?

If you have, then I’m going to tell you how you can almost give the magic wand wave, and actually see your blog appear right before your eyes. Truly.

If you could start a blog with a few clicks – that is, have all the “install” work done for you, you could go for that, right?

 

Free Blogs VS Blogs To Make Money

 

The platform on which your blog, or web site, will be built, is like the foundation of a house.

The most used free blogger sites are owned by Google and WordPress. Those are platforms with the structure already installed for you. You have a space to write and edit, and add images and videos.

And those are great for writing memoirs, family vay-cay blogs and that kind of thing.

Because they are provided by Blogger and WordPress in order to create interesting content for readers (and ultimately, advertisers) they are not intended to be used as commercial spaces.

On the other hand, this blog uses space that is paid for, and theW letter in circle site that hosts it is called Wealthy Affiliate. That is where you will learn how to build a blog with wordpress. Full explanation following…

So you arrived here at this write-for-a-blog site for a reason – making money on line at home. Every blog post on this site is meant to help you sort out the why’s and wherefore’s of the opportunities to work on your computer:

  • Without leaving your home
  • While Rv-ing and maybe that’s your home now
  • Being free to visit family when you want, while earning money
  • Seeing your on line income starting small and growing
  • Feeling the relief from not having enough money in retirement

What To Write For Your Blog

 

On one hand a blog can be sheer indulgence on the writer’s part. Because you can write about what you love talking about!

Or maybe you write because you don’t like talking much! It works for introverts and extroverts, professional marketers and peeps who just love to share.

You will write about your favorite topics and the products that help you to engage in your favorite activities. That simple!

 

15 hobbies poster for side hustles
source.

 

Can you make a quick list right now of the products you need and have bought for your hobbies or self-employed work so far? Or the ones you have always wished you could have? It could include some of these:

  • Computer and supplies
  • Boating and supplies
  • Wood working and supplies
  • Crafting
  • Cooking
  • Renovating
  • Interior design
  • Garden design

Just to name a few!

When you share your enthusiasm and your knowledge and skill sets about the use and advantages of these products that peeps can buy on Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Walmart, etc., you can set up your blog to link your reader to those, and that’s where they will buy.

This is called affiliate marketing.

And that’s why Wealthy Affiliate is – well, Wealthy Affiliate 🙂

Because those retailers and many more affiliate vendor sites pay you a commission when someone you send over buys!

How To Write For Blogs

 

Basically, it’s conversational. You need good grammar and spelling. Not too long sentences. You know how you read on line. You kinda scan, right?

You see short paragraphs with descriptive headlines so you know if you want to slow down and absorb the information.

You will see “recent posts” on the side and you might want to jump on over if a title interests you.

You may see Social Media icons you click on if you want to share the information with friends.

You may see images on the article that you save to your Pinterest board if you have one.

Chronic Stress Affects Body Strength And Brain Power

man clutching head

What can you do about it once you understand that chronic stress affects body functions?

Your Chronic Stress Affects Body Strength And Brain Power

 

Below is an excerpt from the article

“Sleep — Why You Need It and 50 Ways to Improve It”  at this page  on the Dr. Joseph Mercola website:

  • Estimates suggest 1 in 3 Americans gets less than seven hours of sleep a night and more than 83 million adults in the U.S. are sleep-deprived
  • Wakefulness is associated with mitochondrial stress and without sufficient sleep, neuron degeneration sets in, which can lead to dementia
  • When you upset your circadian rhythm, the results cascade through your system, raising blood pressure, dysregulating hunger hormones and blood sugar, increasing the expression of genes associated with inflammation, immune
    excitability, diabetes, cancer risk and stress, and much more
  • During sleep, your brain pulls together and extracts meaning from the day’s events, thereby fostering insight into the workings of your life. Sleep increases your ability to gain insights that would otherwise remain elusive by about 250 percent
  • Adults need seven to nine hours of sleep per night for optimal health. Included are 54 tips and tricks to help improve the quality and quantity of your sleep”

Good sleep is one of the bedrocks of health, which is why I bring up this topic first.

Here is an informative video with Prof. Matthew Walker about why we sleep. This video presents clear information about the benefits of sleep on the brain, and of the body. And, in particular, in the immune system.

Help Reverse The Effects Of Disturbed Sleep

 

Chronic stress is most simply defined as:

You fall asleep thinking of a worrying topic

You wake up thinking of the same worrying topic

Life is complicated! Very few people do not worry about issues in their life. Many find comfort in religion, in philosophy, and in loving relationships.

Yet, many find absolute faith to be an elusive factor.

Many philosophies don’t simplify life but incur more complications. High control groups demand purity, social isolation, extreme study/work schedules and charge high prices.

In these, people who have left those groups realize the inherent contradiction of seeking relief while being stressed to the max.

There are many stories of physical and mental breakdowns recounted by those who crawled through a long recovery, with or without help.

Many experienced autoimmune diseases, cancers and the like, all stemming from chronic stress.

In our work life, many pursue the large salary, intense lifestyle jobs, while being stressed to the max.

In both the subcultures of high control groups and in the mainstream, the main ingredient missing for all is good sleep, and enough good sleep.

Recovering Good Sleep Cycles

 

Good sleep will be a great benefit to all aspects of your life:

  • Your general well being
  • Your work
  • Your relationships (even if just with yourself)
  • Your creative life, hobbies/art involving others, or not
  • Your energy level and weight
  • Your inflammation levels and longevity
  • Your inflammation levels and pain
  • Your joint and muscle function
  • Your digestive system
  • Your mental acuity
  • Your blood sugar stability

In fact, when you have a poor night of sleep, your body is in a pre-diabetic condition for several hours. (per Dr. Walker)

 Insomnia Is Bad For Your Health is an article I wrote in an effort to guide readers to make a good choice for a dietary supplement to improve sleep.

person in bed

 

Increasing good sleep hours will benefit all your body’s functions.

And, you will stress less, which in turn will contribute to your ability to sleep.

 

Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker clears up much confusion and long held beliefs about good sleep.

“A thoughtful tour through the still dimly understood state of being asleep … Why We Sleep is
a book on a mission. Walker is in love with sleep and wants us to fall
in love with sleep, too. And it is urgent. He makes the argument,
persuasively, that we are in the midst of a ‘silent sleep loss epidemic’
that poses ‘the greatest public health challenge we face in the 21st
century’ … Why We Sleep mounts a persuasive, exuberant case for
addressing our societal sleep deficit and for the virtues of sleep
itself. It is recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic
sense.”
New York Times Book Review

The Way Darkness Works

There is a special function of darkness that affects our sleep. Once light starts fading melatonin is secreted in our brains.

Melatonin is a hormone that prepares us for sleep. Overnight in the brain, melatonin helps the brain detox.

Melatonin blockers are:

  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol
  • Marijuana
  • Light, especially blue light.

It is essential to set your electronic reading devices to yellow light.

For television watching, you can wear UV ray blocking glasses, or clip-ons to your prescription glasses.

 

CLICK HERE TO SEE A VARIETY OF UV BLOCK LENSES

 

Eye shades to wear while sleeping, and black out curtains are a must for those who work a night shift and sleep during the day. However, night shifts are not healthy. You can’t stay in your Circadian Cycle reversing your sleep shifts from night to day.

Conclusion

 

Just a one time event of stress will disrupt your sleep.

Cortisol, the Stress Hormone, is secreted into your bloodstream. It is the cause of inflammation in your body. Inflammation is related to all degenerative conditions and aging.

Chronic stress contributes heavily to the most disastrous diseases like:

  • IBS
  • Cancers
  • Joint and muscle pain, and degeneration
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Hormonal imbalance/endocrine disruption
  • Insomnia

Dr. Walker also cites that if a person gets under seven hours of sleep in a night, tests show cognitive impairment. That’s of great concern if you think about how many nights in a month when you don’t achieve seven hours of quality sleep.

Insomnia also prevents good memory creation.

How can you reverse chronic stress? I’d say number one is to learn how to sleep better.

Meditation helps many people to break their stressing mode and relax. In my article about meditation, the focus is avoiding binge eating. But do people binge eat? Because of stress. You can CLICK HERE if you would like to read that.

Journaling can also help to release stressful thought patterns. CLICK HERE if you would like to get some ideas about keeping a journal to reverse a stress pattern. This article is also concerned with weight loss, but can be applied to any topic that may be occupying your thoughts.

Why It Is So Hard To Make Money Online

dog face

Do you know a dozen or more people who make a living on line? I don’t personally know that many but I certainly read a lot about many who claim to. I know of hundreds who are working on it. And do they know why it is so hard to make money online?

What To Do When You’re Bored Online

 

Does that ever happen to you? It does to me sometimes even though the internet is so engaging, inspiring and marvelous. Yet, some days you need to relax, widen your focus a little and just drift.

Do you ever start a news article and then click on a featured news flash below or at the side and then end up reading half a dozen stories?

Then you realize you don’t care about any of them, truly. That’s boredom, isn’t it?

Other writers have learned how to guide your attention. And advertisers are tracking your every move (just notice what ads pop up on the sides – they are related to every topic you click on).

word marketing colorful

Where am I going with this?

Add A Website To The Search Engines

 

Yes, you. Why not? (Please stay with me, I’m going to get to the point of the title of this post.)

You, seriously, could add a website of your own to the search engines. Consider the hours you doodle around reading news and Quora posts and FaceBook and the thousands of other forums and newsletters, even though you’re kinda bored!

I find myself doing this sometimes and yet oh-my-gosh I would certainly benefit by doing anything more productive.

And, know what? Years ago I started a blog, a free Blogger blog, writing about technical things I knew from a previous career.

keyboard and coffee cup

I thought I could make a little money writing online recommending amazon books and other sources of information on the subject.

But truly, it was also a great escape for me at a time when what I really needed to know, was what to do about a panic attack.

Because life seemed to be, at that time, an ongoing mild panic attack.

One day I searched that topic and lo! I discovered it was a topic of great interest. I found that many blogger posts I read about it promoted an ebook that a reader could instantly download and benefit from.

Clickbank Affiliate Marketing Made Easy

 

Not only did I discover that many bloggers online were promoting the same ebook, an instant download at an affordable price, but I discovered that there was an ebook in the category of my previous career.

It was on this same marketplace, called ClickBank.

I learned how to join and how to link my blog posts to that ebook. I eventually had over three hundred posts about the general subject.

You can CLICK HERE if you want to know more about ClickBank.

At this point I wasn’t even trying to make so much money online that I could quit my day job, or make a huge additional revenue in retirement.

Yet aside from the “lunch money” $1,200.00 I made in ebook commissions that year, I saved another $1,000.00 plus in taxes.

That was a surprise. My tax guy outlined the expenses I could claim, as I was now in business.

At that point, having replaced my “boredom” reading online with easy writing, I never would have wondered why it’s so hard to make money online.

hand and fishing reel

Is there anything you could write easily about? Like for fun!

  • Fishing?
  • Back yard gardening? (my mom could have!)
  • Composting?
  • Learning positive affirmations?
  • Exercise/workout/lose the belly fat?
  • Survivalist supplies?
  • Pets, kitty litter, increase your jump height?

And so many more…

ClickBank marketing can be made easy if you know how to write a blog.

I Want To Make Money Online For Free

 

A lot of people have said that to me. Free. Seriously? You already pay to read and even get bored online. To keep this in perspective, there will be some costs to make money writing a blog.

Yet these costs aren’t anything like starting a bricks and mortar storefront type of business.

You may decide to develop a web site you own (that excludes Blogger because it’s not a platform for commercial sites).

This involves having a specific place, or “real estate” on the internet. You will pay a monthly charge between twelve to twenty dollars.

You will need a domain name and it’s registry will have a yearly cost of about twenty dollars. Although you can save on that with buying two years or five years at a time.

And the most important element is…

You will need training on how to set up a blog properly for selling ebooks or physical products. You will at some point want some personal help from a blogger who has done what you’re trying to do.

  • Training
  • Examples
  • Live help
  • Mentors
  • Using images skillfully
  • Adding or making relevant videos
  • Getting found online
  • Writing an engaging blog post
  • Signing up with affiliate marketing vendors (Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Walgreens and many other retailers)

You have probably shopped on Amazon. Look at how many categories there are! And then look at how many individual items there are in each category. It’s overwhelming.

If you are inspired to write about any of those categories and items in them, Amazon will pay you for recommending them to buyers. Imagine!

The average American spends 24 hours a week online. There is an interesting reference about that information here.

Without the right training, making money on line is really hard. It always takes focus and effort. Yet it can be very rewarding.

It is certainly never boring!

Senior Poverty Statistics

Senior Poverty Statistics

The article below discusses some senior poverty statistics. It was written in late 2008 by a senior citizen in the US. So what’s changed? Anything? The author notes that:

  • “6 out of 10 workers over the age of 45 and older were already planning to delay retirement for at least 5 years
  • 34% for men and 26% of women at 65 are either still working or looking for work
  • 13% of Americans over the age of 45 have already taken funds out of their retirement accounts
  • Senior options are “ spend less and continue working and retire much later”

I take senior poverty very seriously. If you’re reading this, I know you do too. You’re probably looking for a way to –

Find Ideas For Making Money In Retirement

And now on to the article by Jerry Lewis.

Newly Retired Or Nearly Retired Seniors

Over the past few months, seniors who have recently retired or who are getting close to retirement, have found it necessary to adjust there retirement plans and often delay their plans completely.

Even seniors who felt they planned well and saved enough fore a comfortable retirement have had to rethink their plans. A recent survey by the Assoc. of Retired Persons found that 6 out of 10 workers over the age of 45 and older were already planning to delay retirement for at least 5 years and some as long as 10. On top of that, they find themselves working longer hours to try and make up what they have lost because of this recent turn down we find ourselves in. Unfortunately, time is our real enemy here.

Back in 1985, only about 15% of men and 8% of women were still working over the age of 65. Today, that percentage is up to 34% for men and 26% of women at 65 are either still working or looking for work.”

Senior Living In Retirement

“Fewer than 1 in 5 seniors surveyed felt they would be able to maintain their standard of living after retirement.

Women are at a greater disadvantage because, generally, they made less money and are living longer. Who ever thought that living longer would pose a problem.

Many senior women, after retirement, live on less than $10,000 per year. More and more seniors, men and women, find themselves at the poverty level once retired.

This only get worse as the years go on. We are out living our money. Bankruptcy in the over 70 age group is up something like 400%.”

“Women are at a greater disadvantage…” There is one place of work (you can probably guess what I’m referring to from the title of this blog! 🙂 ) where you’ll find equal pay for the same job and at least that’s one factor you won’t have to deal with!

 

“Unfortunately, these figures will only get higher. In a recent survey by The American Assoc. of Retired Persons found that 13% of Americans over the age of 45 have already taken funds out of their retirement accounts. That decision will create a double penalty on these people. They not only lose that portion of their retirement funds but also the interest compounding they could have gained as well.

We’re all looking at this train wreck that’s coming our way and there is no way of stopping it, at least not soon enough to help the over 50 who are already caught up in this disaster. What are our options and some solutions to this problem? The only two I keep reading about is that we must spend less and continue working and retire much later. Many fear that retirement is no longer in their future.”

How Can I Make Money In Retirement?

“However, there is one more option they all seem to overlook. Starting your own small home based business is that third option. To continue to work is an OK option if you really enjoy what you are doing. But what happens if your company does not allow you to continue working or your among the legions of workers who have been laid off because of cutbacks or outsourcing.

This brings us back to starting our own small business. The internet is a great place to do that without all the expense usually associated with starting a traditional business.

The senior market is one of the fastest growing markets on the internet and who knows seniors better than other seniors. What they need, what they want. Its been said that about 68% of internet users are over the age of 40 and has grown by about 65% since 1997.

They have money to spend and are on the internet about 38 hours per week doing a lot more that surfing and emailing family.”

And that’s why I wrote Careers For Seniors Over 60 Click on that link and read it if you want help to sort out your options.

“As far as what kind of business or what should you market, that’s up to you. The internet is an unending source of information and anyone can find something that they would be interested in. The only real question that needs to be answered is how.

The answer to that question is attraction marketing. This process is completely generic and can be applied to anything you decide to market be that online or offline. Plus, when applied properly you will find it can be done at very low cost and much of it at no cost to you.

There is real help for you!

The main thing you must know when going into your own business is how to market. There is no way around it. Without marketing there is no business, at least not long term which is what we all want.

So Jerry’s site that he recommended doesn’t seem to be there anymore.

One additional way that seniors can become impoverished is by financial fraud. Here is a real story at “Recent Fraud Stories- Senior Targeted“.

But I have discovered and reviewed an amazing site called Wealthy Affiliate. It has been helping people get started and succeed at earning a second paycheck, if not a full time income, for years.

How To Build A Blog With WordPress

How To Build A Blog With WordPress

My friends ask me how to build a blog with WordPress because they really wouldn’t know how to begin. How to make it look orderly, colorful, or entertaining, depending on their purpose for blogging.

Source of image above.

Most people I know are heading for pretty simple retirement living. And they would like to make it a little, or a lot better!

Here is an article I found about blogging and how it used to be done. The author doesn’t really tell you how to do it, but outlines the elements you must learn to somehow put it all together for yourself.

It’s all good information and I think you’ll find it helpful. I recommend you read it.

Getting Started

Tips on Building a Website With WordPress by Josh Argent

You need a blog. That’s a fact and they are relatively easy to build so let’s look at how to build a blog site. Some time ago, in the early years of the internet, somebody decided that it would be a good idea to tell the world what they were doing, what their opinions were, and anything else that happened to be on their mind at the time. The figured out a way to post these thoughts online and the world of blogging begun.

Since then, blogging has evolved in to something much more complex and important. Although there are still people who have personal opinion blogs, those people are either highly influential people or have a blog that receives next to no traffic. (Facebook has taken over the reigns for personal thoughts and opinions)

Blogging is used for ranking high in search engines, advertising products, communicating valuable information, and corporate awareness just to name a few uses. Let’s now look at how to build a blog site:

Step 1: Pick Your Platform There are many out there. WordPress is the most popular and it comes in an online portal where you don’t have to install it on your website or the self-hosted option where a little bit of webmaster experience is needed to install it on your blog. (Assuming you have a website of your own.)

Take a look at WordPress as well as other options and see which you like the best. One word of advice: WordPress is hugely popular because it has a whole series of plugins to expand the functionality of it. Smaller, less developed platforms do not have as many plugins.

A blog will do you the most good if you set it up on your website. Search engines will index the blog on your site and give you better results than if they find your blog on the WordPress site. You don’t want that if you’re using your blog to rank high in the search engines.”

My comment here: I think this is incorrect or no longer true.

Steps To Create A Website With WordPress

“Step 2: Set it Up If you need help setting up your blog, ask the technical support department of your web host. Often, there is an automatic setup utility that can help you as well. Look for that in your website control panel or ask for help.”

Me again: when I used the system I recommend on this page, it was (and is) all automated for you.

“If you have a little bit of website and database experience you can probably figure it out. WordPress, for example, gives a lot of detailed, easy to understand instructions for setting it up. Make sure to read those before paying somebody to do it. It’s not too difficult to learn how to build a blog site with a little bit of patience.

Step 3: Find a theme All blog sites have a series of themes of skins that change the look of it. These don’t often affect the functionality of the site so have fun with this and pick one that is pleasing to your eye.

Step 4: Add Content Type articles, post pictures, and celebrate the fact that our look in to how to build a blog site ended in success! Good luck with your new blog!”

Careers For Seniors Over 60

monitor with learn word

Careers For Seniors Over 60

Many seniors today are eager to start their own business or continue their careers after retirement. They’re no longer content to become inactive – nor can most afford to completely retire. Most of this article will deal with jobs for seniors over 60 working from home , but below I’ll review five options of offline careers for seniors over 60.

First, however, certain aspects of lifestyle are considered by seniors looking to make a change. Do the following items interest you?

  • Traveling while earning money
  • Setting your work hours in order to spend time with family
  • Living a nomadic lifestyle, part time or full time
  • Drawing from your past, and valuable experience to blog and sell services or products

Read on for more information or just jump to this start page – and off you go to a new adventure!

As for those off line jobs: One: Civic Ventures, a California non-profit, conducted a survey that showed over fifty percent of retirees would like to work in a company that contributes to their community. A retired person (not always technically a senior since they may gave been forced into retirement early) maynon-profit community job fulfill a passion for helping:

  • The environment and wildlife
  • Special needs adults or children
  • The organizations that advocate for the elderly and disabled
  • Tutoring students

Check your locales for non-profits that are hiring. A full time or part time schedule is usually possible. Depending on income needs, choices exist!

Two: In the field of education opportunities exist. Many jobs have been cut back and replaced by part time hours in teaching and in libraries. Some further education may have to obtained to work in school systems, or teach in junior colleges. It’s a good way to go if you need more money in retirement and like to remain in a social environment too.

Three: Home health aid and nursing involve government programs in many countries and give care to elderlyprovide both full and part time hours. Some are paid at a lower rate but allow for time and gas mileage on top of the salary.

Four: Freelance as a bookkeeper or tax preparer. If you have experience in these fields, it is possible to build up a client base and earn sufficient income into the future years. I personally know a couple of seniors who trained with H&R Block to work for them seasonally, and they also picked up some clients independently.

Since neither of these are daily activities, time can be spent traveling, and just “being retired”, doing what you want.

Five: A company may hire back retirees as independent contractors. There are benefits for them to do so:

  • The former employee knows the company’s services inside out
  • It is cheaper because no benefits or payroll taxes need to be paid out
  • The now independently working individual can go with her or his preferred schedule
  • The independent contractor can now also promote their new professional consultant business and work anywhere

Jobs For Seniors Over 50

I’d like to include this age bracket because often lay-offs, health problems, and parent care can waylay a person in their fifties. An individual may opt out of a high demand (a sixty to seventy hour week) corporate job to take care of a parent, or to maintain their own physical or mental health.

Can I Make Money Fast Online

No! Fast being relative. When you start any business how long would you give yourself to succeed? Six months? A year?

Many seniors want to learn how to conduct business on the internet from home. It can be profitable, and you will never suffer from the age and gender discrimination that is still brand with nickname onlinepracticed in modern employment fields. You can brand yourself anew with a nickname on your business website(s) if you wish.

Certainly no affiliate marketing program is interested in your age or gender if you’re bringing them customers!

How To Make Money Selling Products From Home

Earning income to have cash in your wallet for some fun items beyond the bare necessities will make retirement a lot more interesting than struggling on a shoestring budget.

Affiliate marketing in a nutshell: you, a writer with a website, can become an affiliate of Amazon, Target, Walmart, to name just three of many large retailers, or of individual products online selling and purchasing(vitamins and supplements for example).

You review these products and learn how to attract visitors to your website(s).

If you don’t know how to build an attractive and competitive site, or blog, you join Wealthy Affiliate University and learn every single step it takes to build a successful site.

Here is my full review of Wealthy Affiliate explaining why it’s the number one training and support community online.

Make Money With ClickBank And Blogger

ClickBank is a huge marketplace of digital products. Its categories of information are numerous. Becoming an affiliate of ClickBank is free. Using a free Blogger blog is free. Google owns Blogger and will allow a blogger to sell on its platform if the posts are unique and provide value to its readers.

Here is a detailed article about ClickBank. And now for a better idea of how to make money with ClickBank products:

  • Join Wealthy Affiliate with a Starter Account that’s good for 5 classes of training, no money upfront
  • This period includes the basics of how you can build a web site with step by step guidance
  • Continue after your free training period for a month at $49.00
  • If you decide to build your business for long term gains, continue at $49.00 a month
  • You will be given a DOT COM – usual cost between $20-$30 a year.

 

If you develop a blogger blog, you will have to UNpublish your articles and then publish them at your dot com site, or write brand new articles. That’s very time consuming work!

To start a real blog is a better investment of your time and energy. After all, you’re thinking about a way to make money working on your computer for years to come! True?

The icing on the cake is– you can write for any niche (the exact group of people who are buyers for the products you choose to write about). And, you can write for those shoppers because of your previous skills. Those skills may be from a previous career, or from your hobby interests.

More Consumers Prefer Online Shopping

This is an established fact. It’s a time/energy/gas/ savings that everyone is used to now. This is your EDGE as an affiliate marketer!

Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Pinterest, all social media, can be used to broadcast your websites. It for sure is easier than setting up a table at a swap meet taking the chance that shoppers will stop by and spend.

Once you get going, email marketing can be added to stay in touch with online customers.

O.K., I may be getting way ahead now, so I’ll stop! Anything I have alluded to in this article is covered in Wealthy Affiliate’s website training. Promise!

Things change periodically online and it’s crucial to stay current. That is another reason why I recommend Wealthy Affiliate for training. It is updated constantly both by the owners and seasoned professional members.

Internet marketing is a method to increase your retirement income. It is a great opportunity with which to create careers for seniors over 60.

Yet, for a senior it is more than that. Learning new skills and activating your mind is a whole different and very valuable investment in – yourself!

How To Learn Online Marketing For Seniors

how to learn marketing online

Are you among the demographic of seniors who would like to make some additional revenue in retirement? Is there a special place on the web where an inexperienced blogger can learn how to learn online marketing for seniors? Yes, there is and I am going to tell you about it.

When To Retire From Work

For some people, when to stop working (outside of the home, or for someone else) is an idea they avoid. What’s to lose?

  • Community
  • A sense of structure
  • A sense of purpose
  • Keeping abreast of the constantly changing social norms
  • The paycheck!
  • A sense of security
  • A long held routine
  • Creativity and the rewards experienced in some lines of work

And what if you don’t even want to retire? I found this article today which is quite interesting,

“I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Retire.Here’s Why.”

(you can click on that for the whole article)

people happy at the job

Here’s her conclusion:

“Not earning an income for what could be a
30-year period or longer is a scary prospect, but if you find a job that brings you true enjoyment, you’ll be more motivated to keep at it in some form when you’re older, thereby buying yourself the financial security so many seniors crave.”

Help I Don’t Get It

But what if you’re not one of those lucky seniors with especially inspiring jobs. Or what if you don’t have a job, and maybe have never had a job with great retirement benefits, as those pensions are no longer the norm.

You are curious about making money with your computer, right? How does one even begin?

Without the right training, you’ll never get it.

Competition is fierce.

You read about the amazing opportunities every day, don’t you?

  • Make money on line for free – not!
  • Make $20,000 a week online – not really an opportunity for most of us

What are the chances that you can learn enough (without taking years) to “get it” and achieve a measure of financial success to make your senior years more satisfying, more secure?

First, you need to build a blog that is set up properly to support marketing. You can click on these articles below to learn more:

Those reasons above are why I recommend Wealthy Affiliate training to learn blog building and writing the correct way.

You will learn that you can choose your products or category of products to promote. You never have to grind out information about things you’re not personally enthusiastic about.

If you make your own products to sell, for example on a site like Etsy, you can build a blog that will direct shoppers to your Etsy shop.

You can set up shop within Amazon, promote it with a blog, and ship to Amazon which in turn will deliver purchases to your buyers.

There are so many ways you can set up a business for online marketing. Each to his/her own!

You can succeed with a properly built marketing blog. It is work and requires consistency. The easy part is you need a much smaller financial investment to get started, and a low and predictable financial output to continue.

Blog For Money Sites

This website is focused on the theme of creating blog for money sites. It is also focused on seniors heading for retirement with not enough money saved to stop working completely.

The last ten years have been disastrous for people over 50 and over 60 especially, as many have been laid off (code for forcibly retired), lost homes and retirement investments because of the banking scandals.

There is help!

Senior Blog Sites

  • You support affiliate marketers all the time! Many are authors of senior blog sites.
  • You find an article about an amazon product you want to buy
  • The material helps you decide that it’s what you indeed want
  • You click to amazon and purchase

That blog writer gets a commission on your total purchases you make during that shopping event. Does that mean you pay more? No.

Same if you shop that way (clicking through a writer’s link) on Target, Walmart, Home Depot and many more retail sites.

Writing A Blog For Money History

If you enjoy learning about how things happened you’ll like the following article I saw at Ezine Articles.

Blogging for Retirees – Extra Cash for Senior Citizens

For many folks, blogging is a new thing, and Twitter is a new phenomenon that has reshaped the world of communications. The word may be new to some, but there is no denying that it is as popular as anything can be on this planet. Some people think that blogging is the province of young people only. There are others who believe that those who blog do not know how to spend their time wisely on the Internet, while yet another group of people have no clear-cut idea of what blogging is all about.

History of the Blog

The advent of the word blog is quite fascinating to some people. At first, the word weblog, coined in December 1997 by John Barger, was the one that most people were familiar with, as opposed to blog. About two years later, Peter Merholz coined the word blog by breaking weblog into the happy phrase “we log.” Evans Williams later used the word as both a noun and a verb.

According to Wikipedia Encyclopedia, Jorn Barger, an American blogger, was born in 1953, best known as editor of Robot Wisdom, an influential early weblog. Barger coined the term weblog to describe the process of “logging the web” as he surfed. He has also written extensively on James Joyce and artificial intelligence, among other subjects; his writing is almost entirely self-published. On the other hand, Peter Merholz is a founding partner and president of Adaptive Path, and is an internationally recognized thought leader on user experience. He co-authored Subject To Change. He coined the short form, “blog,” when he jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.

To blog means to edit one’s weblog or post a blog into another person’s weblog.

blog for extra cash senior citizens

Thus, blogger is derived from blog, and refers to someone who writes a blog or posts a blog online. You have probably heard someone asking someone else if they have gotten exposure in the blogosphere. This sounds a bit fancy, doesn’t it? What is the blogosphere? The blogosphere, derived from blog, encompasses all blogs and their interconnections.

Can you be a blogger?

Anyone who can access the Internet is a possible candidate to be a blogger. I should dare say that almost anyone who has access to the Internet and has the ability to learn how to be a blogger could be a good one. You need neither a college degree nor special skills. All you need is common sense, some ideas, and a passion to blog. Everything else is secondary. Blogs are easy to write because you are free to write whatever you feel comfortable and knowledgeable about: your hobbies, passions, politics, global warming, overpopulation control, ozone layer, air pollution and demise of civilization, you name it. All you need to do is jot down your ideas on paper, then go online and prepare your blog while you join the blogosphere. You will have enough information and instructions to lead you in the right direction. Interested? Read on.

Can you make money in the blogosphere while enjoying yourself?

Of course, yes, you can make a great deal of money, depending on what your goals and efforts are. As you begin creating your blogs, do not think about how much money you are going to make. Just keep working on your blogs because the more you blog the better you will become. The better you are, the more you can earn. In short, blogging can be not only an exhilarating and stimulating experience, but also a money-making experience as well, allowing you to create extra income in your spare time while enjoying yourself in the blogosphere.

Moreover, the national and international blogospheres are a mechanism that allows citizens the world over to be able to partake in important discussions that can profoundly impact their social, economic, and political lives. We have witnessed the positive influence of some bloggers’ dialogues and interactions in the political affairs of some Arab countries some six months ago. Blogging is a new tool that is destined to change our social, economic, and political world.”

Strength Training Exercises Seniors Choose

strength training exercisessenios

What are the concerns seniors have in selecting strength training exercises? Cost of equipment? Their own fitness level? Can they be done at home? It turns out that there is a time-proven guide for the strength training exercises seniors choose the most.

The Exercise Seniors Video First Choice

When anyone chooses a video for exercise these are the things they look for:

  • Cost – not everyone, but seniors on a limited income will consider this
  • Equipment for strength training anf flexibility and its cost
  • Is there enough space at home or is a gym space needed
  • Is there real science behind the exercise style
  • Will I hurt myself if I’m out of shape
  • How much time will it take if I’m still working (even if I’m working at home)
  • What if I’m arthritic and stiff
  • What if I have high blood pressure
  • What if I have crippling joint pain

The exercises and information I recommend addresses all these considerations. You can do fitness regimens at home, requiring little space.

The space your body takes up with arms outstretched.

That’s one hurdle overcome, am I right?

Safe Exercises Seniors Need

 

I used to teach older people classical ballet. That’s pretty challenging fitness training but I know why it was a routine of safe exercises.

Individuals, maybe seniors, doing ballet are only challenged by their personal limitations of strength and flexibility. A class of seniors can do the same exercises.

If taught correctly there is no strain on muscles or joints.

There is no over exertion required at least, not by a professionally trained teacher.

But where is the science in this? And who is going to explain it to me so I can understand?

I don’t get cellular biology or chemical behaviour in the body that might get me aging backwards.

Did I say Aging Backwards?

Yes I did and that is the body of information I am recommending you get to launch your personal journey reversing your aging process.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to truly understand how your cells and muscles work to keep you younger and slow down aging?

CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR COPY OF AGING BACKWARDS

make money affiliate marketing message

That image above shows that the link will take a reader to Amazon, and if a purchase is made I will make a small commission. This blog is all about blogging for money

Most of us know that our brains are sending messages to our body every millionth of a second, or something like that.

Did you know that some of the most important messages that come back to your brain are from the cells in your muscles?

 

Physical Exercises Seniors Can Love

 

When I was teaching seniors I always explained why the ballet exercises could benefit them in their daily life. For instance:

  • The deep knee bends strengthened the hips, back, thighs and calves, increasing balance
  • The quick foot exercises increased balance and reflexes
  • The arm exercises opened up the chest muscles and deepened breathing
  • The leg lifting exercises strengthened the back muscles
  • The short jumping exercises increased lung capacity – good for longevity and heart health

The book Aging Backwards is not based on ballet, but the author’s experience is. She is a graduate of The National Ballet School of Canada, one of the best in the world.

Like many retired dancers she went on to explore many aspects of physical training and injury rehabilitation needed by many athletes.

 She underwent treatment for breast cancer and created “Classical Stretch – The Esmonde Technique: Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Post-Surgery”.

This is rehabilitation for the traumatized muscles and connective tissues after surgery.

 

Exercise Seniors Video – Two Choices

 

The book Aging Backwards is where you start. After you have read about how your muscles determine how fast you age, and how you can start reversing that, you will want one or both of these videos.

One is “Age Reversing Workouts for Beginners: Mobility and Bone Strengthening – Classical Stretch by ESSENTRICS”

And the other is
Age Reversing Workouts for Beginners: Posture & Pain Relief – Classical Stretch by ESSENTRICS”

These two sell as a box set for a discount. Amazon describes the book:

“An updated edition of the
eye-opening guide to anti-aging…”,

..”Every day, we have a very clear choice: We can grow older or we can grow younger.”

In recent years the field of aging research has exploded with new clinical findings. Many widely accepted ideas about aging—including those about
the inevitability of our declining metabolism, our dying brain cells, and our deteriorating muscles and bones—have been debunked. Today we know that the physical signs of aging are far more a product of
lifestyle choices than of calendar years. Aging Backwards offers an exciting and comprehensive plan for actively slowing down and even reversing the aging process through gentle exercise that develops
strong, flexible muscles.

Why focus on strengthening muscles?
Because as Miranda Esmonde-White, PBS fitness personality and creator of the Essentrics technique, explains, our muscle cells are the keys to our longevity. The powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, keep us looking and feeling young—and muscle cells contain more mitochondria
than any other part of our body. If we can keep our mitochondrian fires burning, our muscles—not to mention our bones, hearts, lungs, and skin—can all experience the vitality of youth. And the best news of all is that it takes just thirty minutes a day of gentle exercise to keep muscles strong. 

With eight basic age-reversing workouts that
build core strength, lengthen and tone muscle, increase flexibility, and speed weight loss, Aging Backwards offers the information and tools to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.”

That’s pretty incredible, isn’t it? 

If I were only Over 40 now, I’d still want to start these exercises! Stretching and strengthening combined, plus the anti-aging messages to the brain – I’d be on it!

Aren’t you, truly, seriously?

 

We can only start where we are.

If you have medical conditions, please consult with your doctor.

Here is a video of Miranda talking about this book Aging Backwards.
