Baby Boomers Are Growing Into Online Marketing and Learning It Well

I am making this page about online marketing specifically for the Baby Boomers, those of us who grew up without the computers, used them in our business worlds, but should not miss the opportunities the Internet presents to earn money, meet new people, learn interesting things, and secure a continued work presence no matter what our circumstances as the years go by. Some Boomers are afraid of what they do not know and I am sure that it is a baseless fear that we can all overcome. Even in this difficult economy, Baby Boomers are still the marketing force that drives things forward; now many Boomers have money to spend and some have nothing. But either way, that is no reason to stop - we never did before! There is so much to do, earn and learn! We are the generation that changed it all - let's keep rocking on!

My mission

Online marketing allows a person freedom, creativity and the capacity to earn decent money while building relationships and learning from others. The Internet has opened the world in a way we only dreamed of as kids, and now as time marches on in my early fifties, I see a changing world. I've raised my children, practiced law, had great times and not so great times. But now, I see only a New Time, a chance to do something quite different, fun and freeing. Yet, after so much research (an occupational hazard for a lawyer), I have found the Net full of repulsive scams and inspiring leaders......and have learned to differentiate. Baby Boomers need to learn the basics, many are bewildered by the capacity of the Internet, hardly know what Web 2.0 means as Web 3.0 is appearing. I hope to help others, meet others, continue to earn a decent income and never stop learning and teaching.

Every good business has a blog.

It is not all about marketing, chasing the Internet craze and earning a living. It's about growth, giving back, getting to know others and letting them know you. Recently, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and that's had a big impact on my life. Again, overcome with the need to research I went online and have learned more than I thought I could, and have made friends I would have never met. The blog is a bit about marketing online, but it is more about me - a baby boomer online and living with MS. Hopefully, giving others a laugh every now and then, and sometimes letting myself complain or cry. In sum, it is about being who I really am. I am blessed with good health so far and an insatiable desire to learn, create and grow. The freedom of doing this, working from home on my own terms, on my own time, with my own family, is something I can hardly begin to describe.

The latest from Google about this

I want to meet others who are doing this, who have come to the Internet and are enjoying earning their livings here while growing, teaching, learning and making friends. I do not seek the gurus or the hype monsters, but the real people, especially Baby Boomers like me who have found this outlet and are enjoying it to the hilt. I learn from them and they learn from me. I can help others who need answers to the questions that a 15 year old does not even need to ask, but a 50 year old cannot even form. Direction to the right people, places and opportunities after a few years of researching (and making my own mistakes) can help others avoid it and get more out of the experience. And isn't that really what life is all about - helping others?

P.S. If you take away just one thing

Don't ever give up. These STILL are the good old days. We have a lot left to give and a lot left to live. If you want to embark on something new, now is the time to do it, and there has never been an easier time in the world of information and social networking to meet everyone else on the planet. I only wish I spoke a few more languages! We are growing older, it is time to really look at where we have been and where we are going; to take genuine stock of our spiritual life and our relationship to God and others. We are the children of the the people of the Greatest Generation. They worked hard, sacrificed and some died to give us what we had. We sometimes had it too easy - sometimes it has seemed too rough, but we can continue to the end to make a difference, to make our parents proud.

P.P.S. Here's the link to my site

I am still building my site, not entirely sure which direction I want it to take, but certain I want it to be a place of content and information for baby boomers seeking a good online marketing experience, directing folks to the right places, right teachers and sometmes the right opportunities Maybe they are not for everybody, but I firmly believe we Boomers need to unite and work together, build an international social network of like-minded, giving people who are not afraid to be themselves and who are not afraid to venture into this new world of working - a world where working is freedom, slower paced and something we can do until we are at least 99! It's in its formation stages, I am doing other marketing things, such as You Tube and Twitter, but my basic site is putting all its emphasis on GeneWize, which I think is going to explode as more and more people are laid off, our generation ages and wants to do it well and healthily, and folks are looking for a home-based business with integrity, servant leadership, cutting edge science and a recession proof product - wellness. According to Warren Buffet THE next Trillion Dollar Industry (I'll take his advice over mine!) So come visit and learn. For a general overview of Wellness as vehicle of a home-based business visit http://bit.ly/oSHve (I've gotten into link shortening - try it free at bitly.com) or for a more in depth look at GeneWize, come visit me at http://bitly.com/1bkRse and be sure to give me a call.
