Yes, we have had a lifetime of different experiences and probably many different jobs but there comes that day when some companies are paying people off to take on the younger generation.</p><p>But the older generation still have the pressures of paying the mortgage/rent, saving for their retirement to enjoy their Golden Years or perhaps still have children living at home. It can be a very stressful time as I know from experience.</p><p>I read an article in the paper that said from the 11 million people between the ages of 50-64 there are around 3.2 million that are still inactive and have the stress of worrying where the next penny is coming from.</p><p>Of all the self employed people nearly half of them are in their 50’s. It is fine being self employed but the time comes when you feel you need to step down a bit and take it easier, but that also means the money is not coming in as regular as you would like. It has also been said that if you are over 50 you re-invent yourself as you mature.</p><p>You have a lot of life experiences and much more knowledge than the younger generation. Did you ever try and advise your child or teenager that this or that is wrong? I know my parents did and did we take any notice? NO – It is only when they get older they realise that we were only trying to help them.</p><p>These days people are living well into their 90’s and even into their 100’s so if you are worrying about your future then why not start up your own business online. That way you will be sure to enjoy your Golden Years with a residual income that is just going to keep going into your bank account month after month.</p><p>I don’t know about you but when I was younger I found it very hard to speak to people and I know that a lot of younger people are like that. But as you mature you are more likely to build relationships with others which is half the battle of succeeding in your online business.</p><p><a href="http://simplemoneysystem.com/sms1?a_aid=1bcdf73a" target="_blank"><span>Don’t Be Afraid To Live Your Dream</span></a></p><p>When you were younger you probably changed jobs many times but in your later years you have to think twice about that in case you can’t find another job and no-one wants to be out of work for long. We didn’t have computers in my early days so I had to make sure that when I left one job I had another one to go to.</p><p>Since retiring 9 years ago I often think ‘where would I be today if I could have done online marketing back then?’ But no good dwelling on the past, so I just got stuck into online businesses when I retired.</p><p>By the time you reach 50 and over you have acquired so much wealth and knowledge and skills that none of the younger generation have, so what is stopping you?</p><p>The fear of the unknown?</p><p>No self belief?</p><p>Procrastination?</p><p>Don’t just think about it, go out and do it !!!</p><p>If you started an online business when you turned 50 I would love to know your experiences and what made you get started. <a href="http://www.dontgiveupyourdream.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2485/2014/02/baby-boomer-cartoon.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-965" alt="baby boomer cartoon" src="http://www.dontgiveupyourdream.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2485/2014/02/baby-boomer-cartoon.jpg" width="213" height="236" /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/86020/merle30/83d51cfdd5c95f4dc30c2521d0389b7e.png" border="0" /></a></p><h2>P.S. – For $1 why not try out our all in one tool suite, saving you almost $500 a month – for 7 days it has to be worth trying – doesn’t it?

No one is feeling the pain more than those who are at or nearing retirement age. It has become critical for these folks to find an alternative source of income, since their nest eggs have been obliterated by the stock market. <a href="http://www.pureleverage.com/merlegibbins/opportunity/" target="_blank">Affiliate marketing</a> is quickly becoming the alternate method of choice!</i></p><p>The state of today’s economy has everybody in a state of flux. Nobody is in a more precarious position than those who are close to retirement age. Day after day more and more people over 50 are losing jobs they have held for 20 years or more. This population has been hit hard. First, the economy tanks and takes their retirement funds along with it. Because the economy has slowed, members of this population are now the first to lose their jobs, as it is more expensive to keep them on compared to a newer employee. To top it all, these folks can’t find a job because they are competing with 20-some things who will move back home after college and make less money. This segment of the population is in real trouble and is looking for alternative means to make money. Many of them are turning to<a href="http://www.pureleverage.com/merlegibbins/opportunity/" target="_blank">affiliate marketing.</a></p><p><span><strong>What is affiliate marketing?</strong></span></p><p>When you think of affiliate marketing, think of a freelance salesperson. Affiliate marketers promote products and services for other individuals or companies. When someone buys from an affiliate, the affiliate makes a commission. The great thing about affiliate marketing is that there is no physical inventory for the affiliate to maintain. You simply promote the product. The producer of the product handles the distribution. You make the sales and collect the commissions!</p><p><span><strong>What can I promote?</strong></span></p><p>There is no shortage of products to promote on the internet. You can promote anything from books to software, kitchen appliances, gold, silver and even shoes. In order to figure out what to promote, you’ll need to determine your niche and target market. A word of caution – some affiliate products are free, but some of them require you to purchase the product first. Otherwise, choose products you believe in or have used. Your buyers may have questions about the product. You won’t be able to answer them if you’ve never used the product. Maintain your integrity as an affiliate marketer. If your buyers believe you’re merely pushing products, they won’t buy from you.</p><p><span><strong>How much money can I make?</strong></span></p><p>There is money to be made in affiliate marketing. HOWEVER, it’s not going to happen tomorrow. It takes time. There are a great number of affiliate marketers who make six figures annually promoting products.</p><p>With that out of the way, the percentage of commission varies by the product. The industry average for commissions is about 30%. Some products pay a greater percentage and some less. It is your responsibility to do the math to see if the product is worth your time to promote. Promoting a product that pays 20% of $97 is better than promoting a product that pays 30% of $40. Some companies today are offering 100% commissions !
