Just To Get Things Off My Mind
My name is Harry Kaelber, I live in Brazil.Indiana. I have had several different jobs last 55 years'I have worked on a farm,in a clay plant ( making sewer pipe ) and in a tire shop. I have had contracts with four trucking company's loading and unloading semi trailers at IBM Greencastle Indiana plant for several years plus done all local pick-up and delivery for IBM.When they closed the plant in Greencastle, I went back to trucks, for a while I drove for a company. Then I decided to go back to work for my self,so I bought a truck of my own.I did this until I got but on oxygen in 2007 with emphysema. I got off the oxygen this summer after they changed my medicine and I lost a lot of weight.Still use it some but feel a lot better.I have been self employed most of my life.I never finished high school and never had to ask anyone for anything most of my life.
Makes it harder now when I need help to understand what I am doing here at wealthy affiliate. So please try to bare with me I am going to try and ask for help. I have a website with some stuff on it , right or wrong I have no idea but it is there just the same.The website is howtomakeadollarwithharry.com, if anyone wants to look at it and tell me what they think I have been working with an affiliate on part of this, I won't mention any names they may not want me to.I would have already gave up if it wasn't for them. I am going to try and over come my not asking for help and I have not done much to help anyone else because I do not know what I am doing myself. HarryK1

You know, Harry, I just went to your site and it looks great. I think you are an inspiration. So you ask all the questions you need to because people here are ready to answer them. I am new, too. Almost half your age and I don't know what I am doing either. Sometimes its okay to get a little help. You have done your share for society and now it is time for us to do something for you. You are willing to learn this internet stuff and that should give all us younguns all the inspiration we need to find the answers to your questions. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your comments, I am learning more everyday and still got a long ways to go. I know I will need help along the way and want people to help me when they can for the reason they want to, not because owe me anything.I know what you mean,

Believe Me when I tell You It is something we like to do. It helps us grow. You have a great Thanks Giving my friend Keep up the good work J B
Left short comment. Great start. Need some tweaking with links and pictures. Writing style is good. You will be fine as long as you keep learning and modifying accordingly.
Hi Harry, I am glad that you have someone to help you with your site. I wish that I would have had someone when I first started. The forum was there but like you I did not like to ask so wound up trying to figure things out on my own.
We now have this great communication platform that Kyle and Carson have created. This is a great improvement over the old forum and there are many like minded people here. When you don't understand something just ask. If you don't understand then there are at least two more who also don't. you will be helping all of you.
I am glad that your health has improved. Now, just "keep on truckin" but in this vehicle instead. Best wishes to you.
Hi Harry, please don't be afraid to ask questions and no need to apologize. Wealthy Affiliate is your family. I ask all the time and they always come to my rescue.
I checked out your site. I like the way you laid out your content. One suggestion that might help - you could liven up the site with pictures. Here is a link to a tutorial given by Kyle in case you need some guidance in this area

Thanks for the suggest, I went to the link and watched it. I will have to play with that for awhile to learn it. Thanks again for help HarryK1
You are off to a great start. You are genuine story teller, use that ability to your best advantage. Dig deep within yourself and don't be afraid to let your true feelings show. I see mischief in your eyes. Add that and the humor you see in life.
You have a wonderful domain name for your site. Use the key words from it as often as possible in your writing. Start your next paragraph with this as your heading in bold letters. How to Make a Dollar, then just start writing. We will help you add to your site a little at a time. You will get there, I can't wait to read more of what you have.
Start telling your story to a friend sitting across the table from you as you write. That invisible friend we all have. Now turn your site away from yourself. What I mean by this, is your viewer doesn't want to hear to much about you, They want to hear about themselves and whats in in for them.
Let your story telling begin. I already have a smile on my face, because I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Feel free to look at my site and many others sites, this will help you see how to use different keyword phrases to help you along in building you site.
Thank you for your comments and the advice, and I will check out your site. Thanks again HarryK1
Hi Harry. I just took a look at your website and congratulations on getting it going! I think you've got a good start, but yes, it needs some work.
First of all, I would think of adding some images and colors to your posts. They are mostly in black writing and as I've learned, people tend to be visual and need something to look at. Include some photos that spark peoples interest. Maybe underline some headings, use your bold on headings and important stuff as well.
Another thing, when you give your contact information, it is not a link. I mean you can't click on it, so you would want to fix that.
Otherwise, you just need to start putting content on this website to get it noticed. Start using some great keywords and getting posts ranked.
It's a work in progress. :) Michelle
Thanks for your comments, I will see what I can do about adding color, just watched a link to see how to do it. On the contact information any suggestions what I need to do to it ?. Thanks again

Harry you are so real. On my profile I haven't shared as much personal stuff that happened, but your profile is an inspiration of hoe you never gave up. I don't know how I found WA either. I believe it was God sent! I was totally loss when I stared, but after Neurosurgery WA gave me a purpose, to help others. I appreciate your supporting me and I will support you.
Thanks for the encouragement.
