If there ever was an unlikely combination, that has to be it. But, there is a good reason I am putting us more experienced folk in with the stay at home moms. Here’s why.
I’m a senior, but I always refer to myself as the old guy. My daughter gave me that handle years ago. I guess since I was older than her she had good reason to do that! It was all in good fun.
Things are not quite so fun for her today. The downturn in the economy has put her out of work. Fortunately, hubby is working and for now at least, has a steady job. At least as steady as jobs can be in the current economic mess.
She is not alone. It is a story that is being repeated right across the globe, never mind just here in North America. I hope that your family has not been caught up in this crisis, but if they have, then read on.
It hasn’t been that long since I got involved in internet marketing, and my inexperience with my computer has forced me to learn more slowly than what I would have liked.
But being retired, I have been able to devote many months to learning the ropes. And the one thing I promised my daughter was that if I ever got a really good handle on how to make money online, I would show her how to do it.
It so happens that she is visiting us for a week, and has been curious as to why I have been spending so much time on the computer. She is painfully aware of how slow I was just a few short months ago. That has all changed now.
I still can hardly believe that I have gained so much knowledge in such a short time.
And you know what, you can do the same thing as well.
But right now, I am much more excited for my daughter and her hubby to get in on the action. Both of them have a HUGE advantage over me. They are absolute whizzes on the computer. Ever notice that about the kids these days? Every last one of them is incredible with a computer. How I wish I had learned that stuff twenty years ago!
Live and learn!
As you will have guessed, my daughter is a stay at home mom, the little guy isn’t quite 2 yet. Cute as a button. All you grandparents know where I’m coming from, don’t you?
I must admit that I never thought I would see the day when I would be teaching the kids how to do something on the computer. Imagine that! Still having a hard time getting my head around that one.
So this is going to be a learning experience for both of us. She is going to be able to help me brush up on my computer skills, which are coming along just nicely thank you. And I will be able to take the next few days trying to show her the basics of how this internet marketing stuff works. I don’t know which of us is going to learn the most.
I hope it’s a tie.
I have until September 15th to try and bring her up to speed. That is the day she is going to get the one week trial at Wealthy Affiliate University for just a buck. Actually, I even promised I would give her the $1 – nice Grandpa that I am!
Any of you fellow seniors out there who are in need of giving your pensions a boost?
Or stay at home moms who never have enough money, why don’t you join me to see if this is something that will work for you. It certainly can’t hurt. And you just might find that it gets to be fun after awhile.
Oh, it is frustrating like you wouldn’t believe at first. So many things to learn.
But, you know what, the stay at home moms are probably pretty good on the computer. So they are half way there already.
And as for all the Grandmas and Grandpas out there, well, we have all that life experience, don’t we.
The only reason that I am suggesting you wait until the 15th like our daughter is going to, is because that is the day the offer of joining up for the princely sum of just $1 takes effect. It only runs for a short while. They haven’t announced just how long that will be yet, but I expect over the next few days that information will be available as well. We’ll let you know.
So to all you lovely stay at home mom’s out there, how about it? Won’t you join us to see if you can help out with the family finances.
And to the “old guys” and grandma’s, please accept my invitation as well.
It’s Wealthy Affiliate University. The new WAU Platinum is hitting the ground on September 15th. Be one of the lucky ones who gets in on day 1 of the greatest upcoming improvement in what is already by far the best internet marketing instruction available anywhere.
Look for me inside the forums…
