Build an Online Retirement Business
Build an Online Retirement Business This subject of an on online retirement business is near and dear to my heart since I am on the verge of retirement. I was born in 1943 so do the math. This makes me a pre-Boomer, but since I married a Boomer, I consider myself one by marriage. As I have approached retirement, I have become concerned about a couple of things. First, I am a very active person and I cannot think about not having a challenging project which I find fun. Second, I am concerned about modern medicine extending our lives. You know the old adage that there is good and bad in everything. I am happy to live longer (as long as it is quality living). The bad is that even though we are well fixed, if we live a very long time, we could deplete our retirement savings. I focused on the Internet and launched my preparation for an online retirement business a few years ago. I decided to create a website that helps Boomers to start up business on the Internet. More about that website later. I also started publishing a monthly online magazine (ezine) called Boomer eZine. I invite you to become a subscriber at www.boomer-ezine.com. Don't let the title throw you. You don't have to have gray hair (or no hair as is my case) to get great value from reading it. With that aside, what I found was that most retirees in the early edge Boomer population were afraid of the Internet and the thought of starting an online business. Their main fear was the seemingly overwhelming challenge of learning all the technical expertise to build a website. Believe me, I understand your concern. I have been there. I am fortunate that I learned to program computers in the "dark ages" of computers in 1963. (Again, do the math). I am comfortable with them. I have been building my own websites for several years using Microsoft FrontPage. During my early research into starting my online retirement business to assist Boomers in retirement, I realized that the technical challenge of building a website on the Internet was going to be a stumbling block for most Boomers. I started looking for a way to eliminate the problem. ... That's when I found Site Build It (SBI). At first, I was skeptical. I had been using FrontPage for years. How could this SBI build a website and lead me through starting an online retirement business that really works? How could it make it easy enough for a computer beginner to learn how to use it? I spent hours researching SBI (ask my wife, Linda). SBI has so much information on its website that it can bewilder you when you are drilling down looking for answers. If you run into this problem, contact me for help. I decided that the only way I could really find out about SBI was to "test drive" it, so I did. Besides, SBI offers a solid guarantee. If you decide SBI is not for you, you get a refund (and you get to keep the domain name you picked). I signed up the free 30-day trial and I am happy to report I have never looked back. I found what Boomers need to use to build their online retirement business. I started www.Retirement Jobs Online.com website as an SBI experiment. It is now a solid, growing retirement business thanks to SBI. I thought I was pretty savvy about the Internet. Boy! Was I in for a surprise. SBI taught me tricks to help me and showed me traps to avoid. I shared many of these in articles in the ezine so our readers could use them in their online retirement business. Any future content website that I build will be an SBI site. Witness the fact that this website is build on SBI. What better recommendation can one make? SBI has a page dedicated to discussing the SBI concept with retirees. You really need to take the time to go there and read it. There are a couple of videos for you to view. In one of them, Claude Jollet makes a very passionate presentation on how SBI changed his retirement.
