My dad runs a small tree moving company. He does not have internet and refuses to even get it (says he doesn't see the benefit in it). He just has a little tablet that can connect to the internet and has a very small amount of data for work. A few years ago his sister's husband created him a website and it hasn't been updated or anything since then. A week ago, a customer told my dad that it was near impossible to find his website online. My dad decided that he was going to call Google to get to the bottom of this...

A few days later, he calls his daughter that has her own website (ME), and just mentions this casually to me not thinking that I'll be able to do anything about it. I told him I could help him out and he seemed baffled. I changed his DNS settings to look here at Wealthy Affiliate and got to work. I updated the SEO settings, found several low hanging keywords, and what not. I made him a Facebook and Google+ (which my dad is convinced no one over 40 actually uses) as well. A few hours later, I called him and told him to look at his website. My father was amazed. He told me it was so cool that I could do this... I've been doing this for months and he just noticed???

Anyways, long story short. It feels good to be using what I've learned here at Wealthy Affiliate to be helping my family members. It also feels good to actually have what I'm doing here by recognized by one of my family members (so far they all tell me they think my website is cool but I'm 80% sure none of them have actually looked at it). I have been validated by my family today... Feels good.
