Hey, everybody!

To your right, the photo of the beautiful girl in blue is my wife, Lesli. The group of four photo is from 2013 when we met Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife here in Miami (my step-daughter, Casey, posed with us but my wife was a little shy)! The picture of me in the suit is when I attended my daughter Ruthie's graduation for her Master's Degree a few years ago. (Ruthie is the pretty one, of course.) The Profile pic is me in front of our Coconut tree here in Miami!

Well, I'm back! I said I would return to the excellent training here at WA and I'm being true to my word.

I had to leave due to my finances but I've gotten a home equity loan, paid off some outstanding debts and can now better justify (and afford) the WA training!

My former niche selections were taking a long time to produce results! You see, there wasn't a good selection of products to sell with those niches and I would have had to create my own products. That, coupled with my affiliate marketing learning curve left me paying the $29.90 per month indefinitely! I just couldn't justify that long-term cost without bringing in at least a little income to cover it.

So, those old niches will have to simmer on the back burner for now until I can make some commissions to pay WA!

I'm returning with some new ideas, too, along with a business deal setting up a website for a local business, where I earn a hefty $500.00 commission for each new client that signs up through the site!

My brother-in-law owns the business and he has a very lucrative business plan...but no website as of yet! He was ready to fork out thousands to a site developer and Google for first page ranking when I told him I could create and rank his site on the first page basically free! Needless to say he gave me the go ahead and offered the commissions if I succeed! It was the training I had received at Wealthy Affiliate that gave me the confidence I needed to make that statement to him!

I've already went through Jay's recent training on Local SEO and I'm fired up to get started! Jay's video yielded a lot of information that I know will help me accomplish this task! I also know that if I run into any obstacles, the community here at WA will help me overcome those!

Don't be offended if I appear a little aloof this time around, since I'm going to concentrate first on my business and second on socializing/helping others. No offense, I simply HAVE to make this work for my family first! I don't think anyone can blame me for that!

I'm 58 years old, and I have NO retirement! I cannot trust the U.S. Government to provide my Social Security! I read the other day that it will bankrupt in 2017! I'm in desperation mode!!! (But, that's a good thing! I'll quit, ONLY when I die!)

Here's wishing everyone all the success they can find here at WA and have a great day!
