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.

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.

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

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.

My Life After Foreclosure

My Life After Foreclosure

My Life After Foreclosure

I have to admit the very idea of home loss, bankruptcy, and the mere possibility of having to choose between paying the rent or eating, is kind of terrifying. Not the screaming pulling your hair out drama, but the deeply pushed down, remotely scary thoughts about life after foreclosure.

Source of image above.

Because that just gets way too close to the thought of “homeless”.

Homelessness in America (and it’s as prevalent a problem in all industrialized countries where social safety nets are ripped apart) and lack of retirement income is an ongoing problem.

 Do you think you might be heading this way yourself? If so, I can help you with the scenario of a better future.

Homeless Seniors America

Even if you’re living in your car. Or think you may be one day.

I wrote that blog post over a year ago. I had no clue about the huge community of seniors living in their vehicles.

Homeless Seniors America” sounds like a club – one you don’t want to join!

Life After Bankruptcy Foreclosure

Losing a home and suffering the depressing follow up of bankruptcy isn’t the only reason a person ends up living in their vehicle.

Death of a spouse, a bad senior marriage, unsurmountable medical bills…Life happens, and living so close to the edge does end up in disaster for some.

But not you! Any post on this site will tell you a different story, and give real concrete advice on how to make money with a blog. Even if you’re living in your car.

The article below was written by Cassandra Black in 2009. Have home foreclosures stopped since then? No, sadly. “My life after foreclosure” is still a song being sung.

Foreclosure Crisis – Homes of a Different Sort – People Living in Their Cars All Over the Country

The foreclosures crisis, job loss and a crumbling economy are forcing people to find shelter of a different sort. Some people are living in their cars, RV’s, and vans. In Seattle, Washington, an area that has seen an astounding 68% jump in homelessness, a study revealed seniors are part of the growing homeless population living in their vehicles.

A National Coalition for the Homeless executive stated people who are homeless for the first time start out initially moving to cheaper accommodations. (But a survey by the National Low Income Housing Coalition revealed that even a one bedroom is out of reach for many full-time minimum wagers in the United States.) The next step for the first-time homeless person, after cheaper accommodations, is moving in with friends and family. The next pit-stop to homelessness is a vehicle: cars, vans and RV’s.

Life After Bankruptcy Foreclosure
source.

But for those fortunate to still own a car, or who own an RV or van, communities and neighborhoods don’t want them. They are often stereotyped and seen as a growing nuisance. Vehicle inhabitants are awakened in the middle of the night by law enforcement asking them to move along.

In high-tourist, oceanfront areas like Venice, California, the number of RV’s flanking the seaside streets has increased.   Ironically, in many areas, the growing homeless population is made up of people who have worked most of their lives, and these vehicles are simply one step before the bottom: the shelters and the streets. 

The growing trend of people living in their vehicles is another result of a foreclosure crisis that has yet to hit bottom in some areas.  But there is seldom mercy from the law for people who find themselves in a situation where their vehicle is the only viable shelter. It’s flat-out illegal in Los Angeles for people to live in their vehicles on the street,  and areas like Fresno, CA, Albuquerque, NM, Sarasota, FL, Pittsburgh, PA, Atlanta, GA,  and many others, have solid no-camping and no-sleeping legislation.

Cassandra Black, the owner of Foreclosure Cleanup, LLC, in Atlanta, a company that clears out foreclosures, says her company has yet to remove a car left behind at a property that has been foreclosed upon. “The vehicle may be the only housing option a person has after losing their home.”

Here is a video about a senior living in her car. Watch it! Wow, I am so impressed with what she’s done to rebuild her vehicle for living in. She’s a real handy woman and brave soul.

I wish she could find this site and start making money with blog writing and get ahead with some extra income.

Nomadic Lifestyle America

internet connectivity guide for RV

Nomadic Lifestyle America

Recently I’ve been fascinated by a variety of videos depicting the nomadic lifestyle – America – specifically. And, that of seniors, specifically.

I was amazed at this well organized, trained for survival, and huge community!

Source for picture above.

Greg Mitchell wrote the following article in 2010. How it applies today!

The interesting thing is, if you do live in an RV due to economic need, you can learn to make money on line. What this whole website is about.

You have an internet connection, right? With an antenna, smart phone, laptop or tablet connection? Most RV dwellers do.

 

Here’s Greg’s article: (I want to edit it a bit but it’s not my place to do so!) 🙂

“RV Trailers Lifestyle

Recreational vehicle or simply RV trailers are vehicles that contain a kitchen, a bedroom, living room and a bathroom. The vehicle varies in size, typically being smaller than the ones in North America. They are made mainly for brief leisure activities like camping and vacations, sometimes others are used for full time living parked in special trailer parks.

nomadic lifestyle America

RV trailers can be rented when touring major cities and other tourist sites while some can also be used as mobile offices for business travelers and these often include customizations like upgraded electrical system, satellite, internet, generator and extra desk space.

There are several types of RV Trailers but the most common ones are the teardrop, hybrid, fifth wheel, resort cottage, totter home and toy hauler trailers.

The most amazing feature with RV trailers lovers is the lifestyle. RV lifestyle includes people who prefer traveling and camping to living in one location. This has seen some travel near the equator during the winter and return in spring. This is mostly referred to as snow birding.

A large segment of young people has also engaged in RV trailers lifestyle. There are those who fully live in a trailer popularly called full timers of houses on wheels (H.O.W) compared to those who alternatively live in houses and in trailers at the same time. There are also work amperes. These individuals work at the campgrounds or at the parks and they stay at that site for some time.

Though it is said that most the RV trailers revelers are retirees, it has been agreed that other individuals and families are going for these RV trailers for traveling reasons and to see parts of the world as they maintain their incomes via the useful advanced technology available in them such as phones, internet, fax and even satellite.”

(If you’d like to try building a training website for free, with instructions, this is how you do it.

Senior RV Travel Clubs

(Me here). The videos show a club like community of seniors who stay in touch and meet up periodically. This allows some the solitude they seek yet gives them a social life to suit their needs. Back to Greg:

“Some RV owners have saved so much from using these services and products. Those who choose to park in locations with no camping sites are the most beneficiary. This reduces the costs one could have incurred when he could have parked at the camping sites. Apart from saving, RV trailers offer the users opportunity to park at their favorite parks. This is because some want to have their own privacy, have more choice of location, want their privacy while others are simple adventuring and feel it is sufficient to be near their target location.”

Full Time RV Living Costs

So that’s how to defray campsite costs when needed. There is a video that shows where the Bureau Of Land Management – BLM – sites are. They are free but have a fifteen day restriction. The “clubs” share information as needed. Back to Greg:

“A growing community of burners prefers recreational vehicles to suit their

needs and with RV Trailers formed to look into the needs of every client, they have heed to their needs. They have been able to modify the old diesel school buses to suit their needs. This is done by burning waste vegetable oil or biodiesel in the old buses to make them more environmental friendly.

One lifestyle group of RV trailers is the Senior citizens lifestyle group. This group, as the name states, is made up of senior people who often sell their homes and travel to other places depending on the weather conditions and only come back to buy new homes after the weather conditions have changed.

With all these lifestyles, one cannot underrate the work done by RV Trailers to suit their customers by making their lives better and comfortable.

10 Best On List – Senior Discounts Over Age 50

list senior discounts over age 50

10 Best On List – Senior Discounts Over Age 50

What is actually on the list – senior discounts over age 50? Let’s have a look.

I am going to start with Walgreens, for a reason, a story, I will put a little lower down here. A true story!

I am all for any legitimate discount but it must be a real discount, and sometimes things can just go wrong!

I will tell you how a disabled person I take care of got taken for $11.99 at Walgreens. And I have to say, shame on that store for this snafu putting someone who lives on $950 a month, whose rent is $750, into this thoughtless if not predatory situation.

And shame on his doctor, too, for taking care of the system and not the patient!

Thank heavens he gets EBT of $188 a month for food!

How Walgreens Failed This Senior

Here is the story. My client informed that Walgreens had called him to say his prescriptions were ready.

I went to pick them up.

As an aside, I don’t shop there. Dry goods, make up, home business supplies, OTC drugs, cough drops et al, are way cheaper at K Mart, which is about to close since the Walmart Super Store opened here recently.

Anyway, I got to Walgreens and when I picked up the prescriptions (there were three), two cost $1.25 each, and the third was not covered by Medicare/Medical. It was $11.99.

I couldn’t ask what it was because that would be not allowed to be revealed due to privacy laws.

I could have called him, but didn’t. I was aware that he had had some tests done recently to then, and that his doctor deemed the treatment necessary.

So I paid it.

Opening The Mystery Package

Back at his place, I informed him of the extra expense. He doesn’t like to take drugs at all, but things happen, right? Our priorities get re-evaluated with age or circumstance.

I opened the three bags, which were stapled together hiding the private information.

surprised cat
Are you kidding me?

Bag Number One was an antibiotic, $1.25.

Bag Number Two was another antibiotic, different schedule for consumption, the big whopper so to speak. $1.25.

And DRUMROLL!!

Bag Number Three was a 30 day supply of 81 mg. Aspirin – $11.99!!

He Could Have Purchased Those At The Dollar Store!

Yes, for one dollar. And that would be at one hundred, three months supply and then some!

Even OTC, a bottle of one hundred aspirins at Walgreens is not $11.99!

So much for discounts…but that is because healthcare is a business first, right? Before it’s healthcare?

I found this article below, written just after the crash in 2008. I have included it here because apparently, as of this writing,  we’re heading for another crash.

So perhaps this information is apropos, and useful as a guide.

It is just to give you ideas, as times have changed. With the internet, you can use this checklist to find out the current prices of these items.

A tip I found out about at my bank – getting a loan? Be sure to ask for another .5% off your interest for setting up an automatic debit for your payments.

Senior Centers

Some senior centers have a Bread Box, or called some other name, they collect day old breads, buns, pastries et al delivered by the local super markets, coffee houses, and bakeries. When seniors get these staples for free five days a week, it is a great saving!

Most senior centers offer inexpensive lunches, or free lunches with a monthly membership.

They will also provide wifi and computer lessons for members.

Also, studies show that company, opposed to lonliness, decreases inflammatory conditions.

One senior I know gets a free ride to a doctor appointment once a week, scheduled a few days ahead of time. Many other centers offer this too. She can also get a ride to a store or the library.

This takes the burden off the Medicare system, which is a help to everyone.

 

You Don’t Have to Wait Until You’re 65 to Get a Good Discount – 10 Ways to Save Money When Over 50 by Robin Colner

50 is The New 65

Just
when economic conditions are forcing millions of Americans to look for
ways to save money, hundreds of companies are offering discounts to Baby
Boomers starting at the age of 50. Discounts are available on goods and
services from travel providers to universities.

1. Travel:

Many
of us love to travel, even more so when our children are grown. In
fact, adults over the age of 50 account for about 80% of all leisure
travel. Just about every national hotel chain offers at least 10% off
the room rate for guests over 50 or 55 years old. Be sure to ask for
this extra discount when booking a room including at the
Intercontinental, Fairmont, Holiday Inn and Best Western chains. Westin
Hotels offer its biggest discount for customers over 60.

2. Rental Cars:

You can save even more money on travel expenses when you ask for a
discount on rental cars. Every major company offers a discount for
customers over 50 (Avis offers one for over 65). Be sure to request it
when reserving a car.

3. Restaurants:

While at home or on a trip, everyone over 50 can find stores and
restaurants that offer age related discounts. Many local shops including
hardware stores will give discounts if you ask for them. National
restaurant chains such as Pizza Hut, Bennigan’s, Friendly’s and
Applebee’s offer discounts every day.

4. Retail Shopping:

National retailers tend to offer discounts to adults over 50, 55 or
60 on specific days of the week. For example, Bon Ton Stores has an age
related discount one day per month while Kohl’s and Bealls Department
Stores give discounts one day each week. Banana Republic offers
discounts to anyone over 62 every day. Did you know that many of the
stores in premium outlet malls throughout the country offer an extra 10%
discount to any shopper over 50? Online stores, also known as e-tailers
such as ebags.com are catching on to the trend of 50+ deals. You still
have to ask when you place an order.

5. Banking Services:

Saving money at the bank is an especially nice experience. Several
national and regional banks such as Bank of America offer special
features for 50+Boomers such as unlimited free -checking, preferred
interest rates on savings accounts, free safe deposit boxes and other
rewards.

6. Fitness:

Looking young helps you feel young, but looking young and fit can be
expensive. Luckily, many fitness center chains offer discounts
including Bally Total Fitness and Gold’s Gym. Ski resorts will also
offer senior discounts on lift tickets throughout the season.

7. Automobiles;

Routine maintenance is critical to prolonging the useful life of an
auto. Many Jiffy Lube stores offer a 10% discount on maintenance
services to anyone 55 or older.

8. Technology Support:

Many of us know how to find discounts on computer equipment, but
don’t know what to do after we buy them. There is actually a nationwide
service called Zip Express that offers 15% discounts to 50 plusers on
in-home installation and help with the use of televisions and digital
cameras as well as computers.

9. Pharmaceuticals:

As we grow older, we tend to use more prescription drugs as well as
OTC medications and nutritional supplements. Pharmacies all over the
nation such as CVS, Rite Aid, Eckerd’s and Longs Drug Stores are
offering discounts of at least 10% on prescriptions and many other
items. Sometimes these extra discounts are available on specific days of
the week.

10. Continuing Education:

Most state universities offer senior citizens the opportunity to
audit courses for FREE or a small nominal fee. It is worth the trouble
to ask if this option is available to adults in their fifties. Keeping
your brain challenged is one of the best ways to keep feeling young and
fit.

In these challenging economic times, it often seems like
finding ways to save money is like finding a needle in a haystack. The
good news is that there is a Website that has put all these discounts
together by category. It is called 50plusdeals.com. In addition to its
editorial listings, the site also presents “Special Offers” from
selected partners and suppliers who have products and services of
interest to 50 plus consumers.

According to market research expert
and CEO of PreRetirement Resources Group, Andrew Garvin, the most
important way to find discounts when you are over 50 is to ask for them
-every time from every vendor. “If you don’t ask, you don’t get. If you
do ask, you are bound to save a lot of money.”

Robin Colner is an Internet marketing consultant and web
entrepreneur who specializes in the Baby Boomer and Seniors markets. She
has been involved in the launch of several websites designed to help 50
+ adults improve their lives, health and finances. As the Chief
Marketing Officer of PreRetirement Resources Group, Robin is committed
to encouraging Boomers and Seniors to become more cyber savvy and learn
about ways to save time and money. Be sure to visit
[http://www.50PlusDeals.com] to discover over 150 great ways to save
money when you are over fifty. In addition, the site includes Special
Offers from selected partners and a 50plusStore.

How Can Seniors Make Money

How Can Seniors Make Money

Many seniors, the disabled who must work at home, and a parent who wants to stay home with young childrenneed more money!

Most seniors in or near retirement know they’ll need more income than they have planned for. Here are some answers to the dilemma of how can seniors make money.

This blog focuses on working from home on a computer/tablet/phone and every article deals with one or more components of that idea.

I would like to help you if:

  • You’re already still working after full retirement age and are seeking a way out
  • You’ve been laid off just a few years shy of retiring with a decent pension
  • You’ve lost property in the bank/mortgage debacle and retirement age is looming
  • You’re disabled with little family or social support
  • You really love the idea of self-employment with control over your life

Earn Money Being Online

Everybody’s heard there is a way to earn money being online. Yet there is a mystique about that. Just how is it done?

I know a person who has an Etsy page where she sells well sewn household products. But what is my chance of ever finding it before I find the same products on Amazon, Target, Walmart or on another retailer’s web site?

I know someone who sells gold, silver and precious gem products online, yet again, how do people find him online? Try searching just about anything and see if Amazon doesn’t pop up first!

Neither of these folks owns a web site that they constantly create, refresh and bring viewers to. They each had a website built for them which cost a lot of money…And it just sits there. The designers who created those sites have moved on with no attachment as to how the sites serve the owners.

You need your own website!

What Is The Cost Of Building A Website

First, let’s imagine that you, a senior, a disabled person, a mom who wants to work at home online, or a person who isn’t getting much satisfaction out of their office job, are simply in the daydreaming stage.

You have personal skills and experience that you believe can be applied to your participation in the vast internet marketplace.

You already have a computer and internet connection at home. Two basic costs, already covered.

You have ten to twenty hours a week you can devote to learning about online training for the web and if you don’t have a product of your own to sell, you can click on that link and learn how to sell others people’s products as an affiliate marketer

As for website costs, I have found the best place to save money on the componentsbuild your own website required to create a website, or professional blog, as well as top of the line immersion training to get you well on your way to success.

I recommend Wealthy Affiliate, a community of students and trainers, all learning as they earn. Here is a review of its business model. This membership site offers every detail about building a pro blog with which you can earn money.

Now I will compare costs incurred if you join ($47.00 a month) and start your business there.

  1. You will learn during the training, how to choose a niche (neesh or nich depending where you’re from) ,or corner-of-the-market product, that you would enjoy making/selling yourself, or promoting what is already selling well.
  2. You will decide on a domain name (what websites are called, www.myproduct.com) and that is something you pay for. I bought my first domain names at Godaddy for $27.00 a year each. Godaddy is a fine and reputable site.
  3. You will learn how to set up a WordPress blog. WordPress has a great reputation for providing professional style site creation. Sites need to be hosted. That means that there is a physical server somewhere where your website connects to the world wide web. Currently I pay Hostgator, another well-reputed site, to host a couple of my sites, at $11.95 a month.
  4. Now that I use Wealthy Affiliate for building my new sites, site hosting is included in my membership cost. So deducting that other monthly hosting cost of $11.95,  my real cost is $35.00.
  5. With my Wealthy Affiliate membership, domain names cost $13.99 a year, half of the usual cost I was paying.

The huge advantage of the membership at Wealthy Affiliate is the training, on top of education on laptop and saving moneythose financial savings.

I certainly have not found another business I could get into for that low monthly fee!

How To Create A Website On My Own

get my own site with siterubix

“How To Create A Website On My Own”

I sought this information for years! I found a succession of tutorials online that helped me understand the aspects of making money online. Yet all those skills depended on having a website that you own. And finally! I found out how to create a website on my own.

(Ready to get started right now? Follow this link and go!)

What a relief! I could finally begin to plan a future with making money online! The Wealthy Affiliate University, The Open Education Project, offers training on building a website especially for affiliate marketing. From scratch.

I don’t mean writing code, oh no! The basic foundation is set up for use.

Their video walk-through classrooms demonstrate clearly what the “inside” of a website looks like, and how to set it up to your advantage as a promoter/review writer.

The reason why this works for anyone is that it is a task-related training, where you do every single task as you go along. And exactly how does this work you may be wondering – since you don’t have a website, right?

This system offers TWO websites for free, to practice on as you learn. The system for create my own website with wordpressthe site is called WordPress. You have probably seen a lot of sites online, and if you read to the bottom of an article you noticed “Proudly powered by WordPress” or a similar phrase.

WordPress is easy to learn. And to make it even easier for their students, the Wealthy Affiliate owners, Kyle and Carson have created their own version of it to teach with.

It is called Siterubix and the web addresses are “this-site.siterubix.com. That’s not considered a top of the line address like a simple dot.com, but it is still a great benefit for you.

  1. After working on the site and publishing it, it can be converted to a dot.com
  2. Some very successful internet marketers (six figure incomes) use it successfully

After developing a trial website – which by the way is a “real” site appearing online – inside the Wealthy Affiliate membership, transforming a Siterubix site, or blog, to a domain name you own, is automated. It’s just a matter of a few clicks.

HERE is an example of a practice blog that sells a real Kindle book, and it can be changed to a dot.com any time, if the owner deems it beneficial. You’ll see at the bottom of the pages “Omega WordPress Theme by ThemeHall”.

“A Job On My Conditions”

That’s what my friends say when they talk about working online for a living. “I want a job on my conditions” because:

  • Tired of worrying about lay-offs
  • Tired of doom and gloom about the economy
  • Threat of forced early retirement
  • Want to retire and work from home

The in-depth article “How To Profit From A Website” covers the following:

  • Finding training that starts from the actual beginning, for newbies
  • Continue learning on the “earn as you learn” path
  • The benefits of a community of both newbies and pros who will help you
  • The benefit of starting with no upfront cost

Yet these Q & A’s are also contributed to by professional marketers who post mini-trainings on the finer points of building successful businesses.

Do I Need A Website To Be An Affiliate Marketer

Yes, you really do. Certainly if you want to put some time into a successful business model that will generate income for years to come. I say that because giant retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are the stores that need your help!

And there are many more.

Your blog(s) become advertising for them, with your expertly written reviews (discussed at length in the courses I’m recommending. They give you an identity link that tracks your referrals, or click-throughs to their sites and they pay you!

Sell Health Products From Home

If you have any experience either as a consumer, or as an employee with businesses that sell health products like home equipment or vitamins, protein shakes or green smoothie mixes, you can sell any or all of those products from home.

That’s one among thousands of possibilities!

As an affiliate marketer, you will select the retailer who sells the niche (nich or neesh) items you know how to write about. You have your favorites right? Writing reviews is easy if you just start like you’re talking to a neighbor.

You will learn how to format your review posts, using headlines and images to enhance the visual presentation. You will embed your identity, or affiliate links so that shoppers will leave a track back to you so you can get your commissions.amazon retailer with affiliates

Regarding Amazon’s “fourth quarter of 2015, the e-retailer reported more than 304 million active customer accounts worldwide.” from statista .com. I mention that because while you will need to learn to compete for readers, the volume of consumers looking for deals is astronomical!

You can log in to the free trial offer right now and take a look around the website. Then start the classes! You will create a website or two of your own and “test drive” the training.
