An Update on Where and am and What I am doing

Well...

I have created my website and added articles to it. I have asked others to review and comment and everyone has been very generous in posting and comments. I thank you very much. I have a new Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and twitter account and becoming interactive in each. I think I am doing what I am supposed to. I like my niche.

I have not made a penny yet but I am working hard at getting ranked higher in Google. I am trying to be as interactive as I can here at WA.

What I have realized is that all of this is very time consuming. more than full time. When you consider writing articles, sharing on social networks, responding to other people in WA, and doing research so that my content is accurate and maybe something people want to read... it all takes a lot of time. I am not complaining at all. I like doing this. Some things have been discouraging in that, although I am ranked in google, I am not ranked very high so other than people here at WA, no one connecting to my website because I am too many pages back.

I am doing this because my retirement is not picking up all my expenses. After nine months of applying for jobs I am over qualified for, under qualified for and qualified for, I was not getting calls for interviews, or responses to email or phone calls. I still have a lot of energy and I can think on my feet. I dunno.

I guess I'm just too old.

I did get an offer to drive trucks for a company. But when they found out I had diabetes they recanted the offer.

So, I worry. My wife worries too. I know this is not a get-rich-quick kind of business and I am willing to wait it out. I'm not the type to give up. But I am discouraged.
