I am a single grandparent surving the economy with a home based internet marketing business. There are many hardships in our lives nowadays. We are all being wounded left and right in one way or another.

 There are many ways you can be wounded. Some instances are physically, mentally, financially or emotionally. Which do you dread the most? Seriously, I am concerned and asking this question so that you can answer it. We are called to bear one another’s burdens! I am serious. In hards times like these we need to be looking out for each other. Even if we see a stranger in need, we should stop and help them.

I have been wounded several times physically in car accidents. Actually one of my last accidents made the hairs on my arms stand at attention. I was on my way home from listening to a friend perform and an opossum crossed the road in from of me. I was approximately two blocks from home. I looked back over my shoulder to see if the critter was safe and when I turned back to the road my car was perfectly centered on a very large concrete utility pole. When I came to in the hospital the next morning I remembered a man dragging me out of my car and trying to revive me in his house with wet wash clothes. I also remembered walking towards my dad and he said to me, “You can’t come now you have your mother and two girls to look after.” I had just gotten divorced after being married for 12 years. My dad had passed away 11 years before. I was told I was very fortunate to be alive and I don’t doubt that in the least.

People are wounded mentally on a daily basis. Domestic mental abuse, parentalm ental abuse, and just the overall stress of trying to make ends meet in our everyday lives can wound us mentally. I personally would take physical wounding over mental wounding. The scars are not visible with mental wounding but they can last a lifetime. I find mental exhaustion more extensive than physical exhaustion. What do you think?

With the economic crisis in our country, currently many people are suffering financial wounding. There are numerous corporate people who have devoted their lives to their jobs who are now facing layoffs. I was laid off over two years ago. It is difficult to replace a job that you have worked many years at, climbing the ladder and developing capabilities with a similar position. You can always step down and toss all of your expertise you have worked so hard to acquire aside and work at a supermarket, restaurant, or retail store. There most definitely is nothing wrong with those jobs, but in developing your skills you have also climbed the compensation ladder. Your income will not reflect all the skills that you have worked very hard to learn if you are forced to step down and take a different position to help make ends meet. It is especially wounding to be the sole earner in your household. My heart and prayers go out to people who have families to support. When the main supporter in a household has to take on another job (for a total of two) this could cause wounding in all of the areas mentioned above….physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. Because of the many hours this person will need to work to support his family this suffering is also passed on to the other members of the family.  They will have less time for their spouse, their children or even just relaxation time for themself.  This can create an enormous amount of stress.  Everyone ends up feeling like the victim.

 If you have been laid off, forced to take an early retirement or just need to make additional income perhaps you would interested in internet marketing business opportunities. I took an early retirement and am enjoying working online at home. If you chose this route, take advantage of the many tools out there. I am a member of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. I have shared this before, but this is a group of sincere professionals in the industry. They have all helped this grandparent develop skills I never knew I could learn. The Crazy Foxes recently released a new FREE report titled “DAM-IT“. If you are contemplating an internet marketing business opportunity I would highly recommend you read this report first.

Granted not everything on the internet is legit. One business I’ve discovered is Veretekk. It is a definite breath of fresh air. Tom Pendergast and Mike Darling, the owners, have hearts for the people involved with their company. They sincerely care and want to see their people successful. Their system is very powerful. Then there is the New Plan Network that offers a plethora of services. If you are going into a business where you need to track your results you will want to check into NPN and also ProTracker Plus. Both provide services that will be highly beneficial to you.

I wish you and your family solutions to your problems and healing for your wounds, whatever species they may be.

Blessings,

I am a 62 year old grandparent who recently retired. I want to take this opportunity to pass along some information and tips that I have learned over the past couple of years regarding online internet marketing businesses. If you currently have a home based business and are finding success working online …then I applaud you. Keep up the good work! With the economy like it is with layoffs and people being forced to retire you might be contemplating starting a home based business. If that is the case please read on.

The most important thing I have learned is NOT to believe everything you are told. Be sure to do your due diligence on a business before you leap into it. Make sure that you know how the program works. Be sure that you are going to have sincere support and training from your leaders. Get a feel for whether or not this is going to cost you a lot of money to work. If it is … RUN!! You would be surprised at the hidden costs of some internet marketing businesses. Take into consideration you might have advertising costs, costs for leads, etc.

I spent 2-1/2 years with online business and spent a lot of my retirement fund trying to make it work. I took the training, attended meetings, followed the instructions of my upline leaders, sent emails, newsletters, and phoned people around the world and worked some days as much at 16 hours. When all was said and done I was in debt and not making enough money to meet my expenses with this business. Hence the warning, “Know what you have in store.” I finally faced the fact that this program was not going to work and I quit.

I am here to say, I am so very thankful that I did not give up because of one bad experience. A friend introduced me to the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. This is a group of like-minded people consisting of great knowledgeable leaders and other internet marketers that are working at becoming successful. This is a group of people with integrity, who are ethical, honest, positive and have a good work ethic. It is sad to say, but these qualities are not always easy to find with the businesses out there on the internet.

I have been in this group for about 5 months and I have learned so much more than I learned over the past 2-1/2 years. I was not a stranger to computers, but I have learned skills that were the farthest from my dreams. It is not true that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group has awesome training and they direct you to programs that will help you become successful. And yes, there are many grandparents! They show you the correct, professional way to do things. I just can not say enough good things about the Crazy Foxes!! Please check them out and make your own decision after reading what you find there.

No matter what the product or service is that you are selling on the internet in the Crazy Foxes you will have access to the tools that will help you succeed.

This is just a short list of the programs/tools that I have learned about working with the Crazy Foxes. These tools are not just for grandparents that want to succeed at their home based business, but all internet marketers will find value in these.

Veretekk: Veretekk is a powerful tool. Sign up for a Free Silver Account. This is our marketing system, our lead generator, SEO producer, and more… plus it is ONE of our primary income sources.

New Plan Network: NPN is a real income generator, and I’m talking SERIOUS income, NPN and its products are the internet’s best kept secret. From Capture Page creator, to the elite multisponder auto responder system, these are absolute must haves for every internet marketer.

Traffic Hoopla: Free system – Traffic Hoopla keeps on top of the best of the best Traffic Exchanges and Safelists. You join Traffic Hoopla and then join the highest producing traffic generators on the web, all managed from this central location.

Protracker Plus: ProTrackerPlus is the ad tracking program recommended by the $200 Per Day Blueprint. It allows you to track your hits, conversions and more, and you get paid to refer others.

Social networking. Twitter and Facebook are only two of many available. You not only develop relationships but you learn about powerful tools, and are able to share your knowledge with others. It is a great feeling to be able to “pay it forward”.

If you are like me, as a grandparent you want to be able to spend quality time with your family. You have paid your dues in the work force! I love the fact that my schedule is flexible working online. I can pick and choose the hours I want to work or “play”. That is very important to me after working in the corporate world with set schedules. Whether it be watching my grandkids play Wii, or trying to learn some of the “moves”, or enjoying an awesome dinner my daughter has prepared, or just being with them….life can not get much better than that.

Having a home based business will also help you when it comes to paying your taxes to the IRS. An office at home allows you to take many deductions which translates to money in your pocket. I know personally that the stock market has taken a big chunk out of my retirement fund. I am grateful finding ways to make the money I do have go further. There are many publications available to give you the regulations on what you can, or can not deduct.

As I mentioned above, The Crazy Foxes have several business opportunities listed on their site. One will save you money on things you are already doing, and also provide you with many benefits. The other will provide you with solutions for your home, health and wealth. Perhaps one of these opportunities will be helpful to you.

I do wish you healthy, happy and prosperous Golden Years!

Blessings,

Judy Conway
