I'm retired Navy, retired City of Grand Junction CO Police Department. Married, 5 kids, 14 grandkids. I'm 66 years old, I'm an avid road cyclist. I rode 2544 miles last year. My goal was 3000 this year. I finished at 4158 miles, so I set my goal too low. It's 5000 miles for 2018. My current ride is a 2017 Kestrel Talon full carbon bike. I'm also about 50 lbs overweight and have diabetes. Type 2 so there's hope.
Cathy and I live in western Colorado in a town called Fruita. Cathy, who has been my wife and best friend for 43 years, taught nursing at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO. She retired this January. One of the main reasons I joined WA was because she wanted to retire too and we wanted to increase our income, or replace her income, after her retirement. She deserves
to be retired as much as I do, and there are things we want to do that require a decent income. My retirement is good but won't cover our bills and other stuff that makes life fun.
Back before retirement I had two careers. I was in the Navy for about 24 years, flying helicopters. After that I worked for the city of Grand Junction Police Department, and retired from there in 2013.
Educationally, I have 2 Bachelor's degrees, one in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Oklahoma, and one in Business Administration with a Marketing emphasis from Colorado Mesa University.

Hello Grant
Thank you once again for the comment on my blog, 1st on 1st page Google, I promised you a visit and a follow, so here I am and I am following you too, I too have type 2 diabetes and manage it by eating well and exercising as much as possible, I see you have an impressive resume,
I have always admired Military and Police folk, as I have the opinion that you guys are not in it for the money, but it is more of a calling, I think you made the right move with WA and I wish you great success here Grant, Stay in touch.

Thanks, Gary. You are right, you don't get rich in the military or law enforcement. I flew helicopters in the Navy, which was fun, but I haven't done it since I retired. Now I want to fulfill my dream of owning my own successful business. I hadn't found the right one until I found Wealthy Affiliate. I'm optimistic and am feeling good about success for the first time.

Thanks, Gary. You're the guy that got me interested in WA. I'll bet that you market the WA affiliate opportunity as your niche. Am I right? If so, good on ;you. Your letter that i read got me to click the link.

Hi, Grant!
Yes, indeed. WA is my primary product and it's been very good to me. I'm also serious about helping everyone who joins because of my sites. I'm convinced anyone can make a life changing income with the skills they learn in Wealthy Affiliate if they just stick with it.

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".
I know, same thing happened to me when I started.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.
Get back to me when you get the chance! :)

Morning, Kyle. I have been an affiliate with Chews-4-Health for about 2 years, mainly to get commissions on the products I use and reduce my cost. The company makes really good supplements for health and wellness. That's my niche, at least my first one. I called my website Upgraded Living.

Sure, you could head in this direction. Just remember, your niche is not a product, rather it is an audience or group of people . A product is what you will promote to your niche.
When deciding on a niche and trying to narrow down to a more specific niche, I recommend you ask yourself the following question:
I want to help people that ______________.
Fill in the blank and you are going to be much closer to a specific audience. After you do this and if you want to run any further ideas by me, let me know and I will give you a hand. :)

Thanks Gary. I'm not completely new to affiliate marketing; I'm an affiliate with Chews4Health International, but haven't had any success yet.I have a book called "Affiliate Program Management, an hour a day." I've added a few links to my old blog but no one bought what i think is a good product. Hopefully with your training I can have more success.
