| I retired from my retail job of 30 years due to disability a few years ago with the vague idea I'd work from home or get disability. I got what seemed like a lot of retirement money and my 401k and used this to pay off most of my debts. For the first time in my life I wasn't struggling paycheck to paycheck. I didn't realize the burden I carried until I could lay it down for a while. At the time, my Mother, who I've been taking care of for the past few years, was dying, and I wasn't ready to deal with the burden of dealing with the slow draining of my money. After my Mom passed, I had to deal with my finances and it wasn't pretty. Discovering that my computer, typing and office skills were very 'meh', I might have still been able score a work-from-home job were I not VERY MUCH an introvert who shuts down at job interviews. Selling myself is not my strong suit. I also discovered that what I could get from disability, on the off chance I'd get approved for it, was $500 less than it would take to keep my head barely above water. I had an epiphany-I'm sick to death of my financial future being in the hands of other people and done answering to any one else while being made to feel old and useless. I started out knowing what maybe 3 functions in Microsoft Word did. When I used to have computer problems I'd point to my nephew and say "make it work, please". I come from the 'control alt delete' school of computer repair. I've spent the last few months going to the university of free YouTube tutorials for making money online. I have successfully connected my printer to my computer for the first time in 4 years and gotten my scanner to work(yeah, laugh tech nerds, this was a major accomplishment for me) I now know what SEOs, landing pages and drop shipping are. This is the first clumsy step of what my digital affiliate marketing business will be. I am learning how to do new things every day, I know where I want to go and many ways to get there. I Don't know how long it will take, but it's just a matter of learning how to do the things that I need to do to get me where I want to go. My brain is slower than it used to be, but it still works. In spite of all the people on youtube saying you can make lots of money quickly, I came to realize that this is going to take time. Time to get affiliate sites up and running, time to learn how to do the things that make that will make them profitable. My retirement money will run out by the end of November and I am already running on credit. Unless the mortgage company will take a credit card, I don't have another mortgage payment.If you've got some disposable income, I'd appreciate your sending it my way-and my stomach can unclench a little. I'm posting a link to my first affiliate site. I know it's not niche enough to be found in the Google search engine and kinda clumbsy, but it's a start. |
