Hello all,
I am from Chicago and really excited to enter a world of energetic and intelligent marketers via WA. My hope is to learn and make this a success so I can pass it on to all that are willing to do the work and make their lives better.
I have two sons, one in the insurance field, the other just starting college, I have two wonderful grandkids that keep me young. I started parenthood early at age 16 which taught me the value of family and I am reaping the benefits now.
I have prepared taxes and payroll for small business and individuals for more than 28 years, Loor Accounting Services. I also run a non profit foundation, Fresh Start For Our Youth, that helps children with mentorship and funds to help them with life's struggles, addiction, drugs, alcohol and the last two years, pediatric cancer.
I believe that by helping others you help yourself as long as you expect nothing in return, something I have lived by for many years. I thank all those people that have welcomed me on this site and look forward in building relationships with all of you while we make some money together.
Sincerely,
Lou

Hello Lou and welcome to wealthy affiliate.
I'm curious - why have you just decided to follow me now?
That aside you have been here since last year so probably know by now that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve. Therefore can I suggest you browse some of the 240+ blogs I have published within WA.
I'm sure you will go away with lots of tips and advice.
Thank you for the follow as well and I will follow you.
Remember, you get stuck creating your site or anything else, you ask ok.
Enjoy your day.

Hello Robert,
Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions, I am following you because another member recommended you, can't remember his name, sorry. I try to follow people that bring value to their blogs, unfortunately there are a ton of people who just like to chat on their daily routines unrelated to WA.
I have been at WA for eight months but I have not completed any of the training here, frankly I don't have the time, the reason I joined was to pass WA on to youngsters I help through my foundation, they are not the 9-5 type and this work can provide a positive future for them, in addition, I don't feel this could ever replace the income I make with my business. I have been learning from the training provided by a select few members and that is why I followed you my friend. I will have more time now that tax season is over and I will look over your past training and appreciate all that you do here. If you ever need some advice on taxes, business, etc... just ask. Thanks again
Lou

Hey, Lou, thanks for following me back.
I think you're right we do have a lot in common.
In particular, I don't think you can help somebody else, without helping yourself. It can't be done.
I have a funny feeling, that we're going to rock this place.
Are you with me?
All the best.

My reason for joining WA is totally different than most, I came to learn more about the online market, webdesign, etc....So I can pass this on to some of the youngsters I am involved with, not all are made for college or the corporate world and this will be a perfect fit for them. Frankly, I don't think this can even come close to replacing my income but I am learning slowly and having fun. But, I expect you to rock this place and I will be watching you my friend, see you at the top.

Luis, thank you for following me. I believe in helping people when I can and maybe in some instances, to my detriment. I love to see people prosper and able to work toward their dreams. I don't want to be a millionaire or billionaire, just be able to help people. I also don't want to do it, just to gain attention. When I do something nice, I am happy for that person and don't expect anything, in return. Best of luck to you!

You will get many more brownie points when it comes from the heart John, the great thing is that the financial rewards also follow suit. My experience is that most people claim to be givers but with a price so take that for what it is worth. Thanks for the comment and let's stay in touch.

Hi,
You had a question about putting your videos side by side. Does your theme have two column capability? Also, what are the dimensions of your videos? 200x200 etc? there would be a size restriction on a one-page width.
Hope you get it OK.
Best always,
Eileen

I am on the far left, my youngest son is on the far right. The two young men in the middle are recipients of our fundraiser event we had at a cubs game earlier this year to raise funds for needy children, I run a foundation that helps kids called Fresh Start For Our Youth Foundation. The Cubs are the main draw this year so we had to go with where we could sell more tickets, Sox have been disappointing the last few years. But I rooted for the Cubbies this year, almost had it too. Thank you for your comments my friend and look forward in more chats with you.

Hi Kyle, Thanks for asking. I do plan on joining your great marketing online program. I am a bit slow in the technology world with websites and the like. I have been very busy the last week so I have not put in the time to start your program yet, although I have told some of my younger clients and it looks like they will join soon. I am struggling with a niche that works for me, my background is diverse in the financial world but i don't see that has any potential with traffic. I will make more time to make a more asserted commitment, thank you.

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. :)

Hey Luis, just wanted to pop back and see how you are doing. I noticed that you haven't quite set-up your account yet, just wanted to let you know there is a video on how to do this if there is any confusion. Completing Your Account Set-up at WA - Adding a Description & Image Setting up your account will lead to much better help here within the community as people feel like they can connect with you better (with an image and a description)
Just wanted to make sure that all was good and if you do need a hand with anything, just let me know! :)
