I'm 61 years young and working on a second retirement in the unstable oil field, and I see network marketing as the wave of the future and I want to ride the wave toward financial independence and a more comfortable retirement. I currently live in Alaska and love it up here. I have three grown sons and a grandson who live in Oregon and I have many friends and family scattered around the country. I was a U.S. Marine from 1973-1977 and was proud to serve. I love writing and spending time outdoors. I hope that I can create a residual income via the internet, and I hope that I can help others achieve the same goal.
Dennis
Update: I was just laid off from my oilfield job. Although it's kind of a relief and opens the doors for me to devote more time here in WA, it also adds a little stress to take care of my everyday bills. I just have to make a few adjustments, including getting on unemployment temporarily and looking at things I can live without. I'll be 62 in September and I could go on Social Security then, if I haven't shown any results here, but I won't give up on this dream.
Keep smiling! Life is good!

Dennis, you are the first fellow Alaskan I have seen here on WA! Nice to meet you.
I work for the State (also nerve wracking with the budget cuts) in the Department of Natural Resources. I am lucky to still have a good job but who knows. I adjudicate water use for all the oil and gas projects in the state. I am actually really busy since there are so many small companies popping up out of nowhere now and everyone is cutting back so shortcuts are being made and knowledgeable staff are let go. While I am lucky to still have a job (I am the only person doing this job statewide so hard to get rid of me), my husband has struggled. He works for the Troopers as a dispatcher but the job is temporary and underpaid. There is so much competition it is really hard to find another job.
I grew up in a remote part of the state and gold mining was a regular activity.
I hope this works to provide us a second income. Good luck to you. I am glad you are doing ok despite losing your job and able to enjoy life!

That is SO COOL! LOL! I thought I was the lone man in the wilderness on WA Alaska. Thanks for contacting me.
I sure hope you and your husband can keep your jobs. I spent about two hours on the phone yesterday with my financial advisor down in Oregon. She advised me to try and keep working until I'm 66 before going on Social Security. I really didn't like her advice, but I know where she's coming from. It's an extra $500 per month if I wait, but 4 more years off my life. I suppose it will all hinge on my getting a good enough job...at my age, I'm not sure that's going to happen.
I know WA has potential, but I also know it takes a long time to start making money, and you need to have a good enough niche' to stimulate traffic to your website. I'm not sure my gold prospecting one is going to be a real money maker, but I don't know, at this time, anything else to delve into.
Keep in touch. I've followed you, so maybe we can help each other along the way.
Keep smiling.

Wow! Really? Thanks! I feel like I'm slogging along in quicksand! LOL! I've always been good at writing, but what I know about computers and websites wouldn't fill a shot glass! This is an awesome place to learn, though, and I'm very stubborn and committed to escape my "JOB" and become independent. Thanks again, for your kind words.

Yes....tons of things to learn, and sometimes I get caught up in gadget....I'm a gadget kind of guy....and I play around with things like plugins too much, when I should really be working on content. I keep playing with the Yoast SEO for instance. I like it because it gives you red green and orange likes for your website...kind of a grade and it tells you what is wrong, but some of the the things are not easy to figure out how to fix so I spend hours trying to figure it out. If I had just kept the All In One SEO, I wouldn't have known there was something "wrong" with my website. Goofy me. At any rate, thanks again. Best of luck to you!

Sorry I took so long to respond. I was at work on the north slope and the internet provided there doesn't allow social networking and I didn't know my G+ account link without going there. LOL. Now I can't post it here in this comment, apparently. I clicked on your link and followed you, but looking at my G+ account, it appears I need to do some more work setting it up. I probably need to review the training on social networks. So much to remember. :-p

Hi, glad to meet me, lol.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for following me.
I’m pretty impressed with WA training and I think we have found a gold mine of information. Hmmm, seems like geniuses like us tend to gather in the same place (lol).
I started making money online in 2004. WA wasn't around back then. I had to learn from scratch. What took me 2 years to accomplish online, you will be able to do in a couple of months if you are new to running an online business.
The wealth of knowledge here in the tutorials and the help from fellow WA members is exceptional. I have never met a bunch of like-minded people who are so eager to help yet ask nothing in return.
When I came to WA in February 2015, I was skeptical. Seen enough online scams in my time. I searched high and low for "the catch." There was none. I learned WA is legitimate. There is no pressure to upsell me more products or services. That was refreshing.
Anyway Dennis, here’s wishing you all my best for your success with online marketing.
Please feel free to send me a private message if there is anything I can do for you.
You can send me a private message if you have questions by going to my profile and clicking on the private message button; https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/grampamike
You may also want to check out my WA profile blog posts as there is some interesting and informative information there.
Here is a sample of what you will find; Tips To Optimize Your Articles Here’s a little inspiration: I'm Number One ! Update: I wanted to mention that all my recent posts on my website get ranked in the top 5 for my keyword or keyword phrase. So study the tutorials here at WA. They hold the clues for getting top ranking for your web pages.

Good afternoon Dennis, from the southwestern corner of B.C., Canada, and thanks for following me. My awesome wife and I did a 7 day cruise to your beautiful State for my 55 birthday.

Dennis: Thank you so much for your follow. I appreciate it very much and welcome to my network of fabulous WAers. My network is about two things.
First, I encourage every follower to regularly post a blog with WORTHY content to other WAers. Obviously, if you blog once a day your ranking will quickly move up in WA. However, please understand that I only blog approximately once every two weeks and in the back of my mind I am only blogging to my followers in an attempt to provide the best example (of my writing skills) to you that I can. Why! Your website will only be successful if you post quality pieces to it.
Second, I try to help my followers every time they run into a snag with their websites to the best of my ability. If that is not good enough, I will refer you to other HELPERS at WA that will definitely be able to help you. So an open invitation: If you run into a problem here at WA, please let me try to assist you.
Please remember that Kyle, Carson, me and you are not WA. WA is the thousands of students learning the concepts of e-commerce and the hundreds of WAers that learn to blog regularly for the delight of the community as they attempt to hone their various writing skills. Welcome! DAN

Thanks for the positive feedback, Fred. I posted a blog on it and on my Facebook page also with a link that actually worked! LOL! I have received a lot of visits, but also a lot of bounce at around 81%. I think I need to increase my content. Loving it so far! I appreciate your support.

I do take the Protandim that is on my website, and it does make me feel more energized and with less aches and pains, but I've always looked young for my age. I definitely don't eat healthy enough, and I've gained more pounds than I'd like, mostly because my job is more sedentary than I'm used to. I just bought a treadmill and I have some goals in mind. Otherwise, it's just genetics. You look really young also. You don't mention your age in your profile, but you're retired so you must be up there a ways. Thanks for your kind response.

Sometimes I feel like the wave has swallowed me whole, but I'm in it to win it, as the saying goes. I wasted my money on a lot of different snake oil salesmen wanting me to try their way to riches by signing up with them...it was all smoke and mirrors...and pay more money and we'll tell you more. Not so here. Love it.
Thanks, Jim.

Well, hello ...yes, I can certainly relate to what you're saying here. I seem to have made Wealthy Affiliate my place of work and I believe this is the way of the future...with the technology we have now...and it's going to get better! Hey, your site is coming along just fine...good for you! Lol...I struggle big time on writing and I multi-task so much, sometimes a yo yo, up and down....I know you will get your success here and be your own boss, you will 'live your dream' for real....
