An on line  business if more funds are needed, allows such freedom as one  can take their business with them and not be restricted to any locality.  In fact they can move with freedom from one camp spot to another, enjoying new adventures.

Meet Donna and Jake

I met Donna on an on-line community, ulearn2earn and invited her to share her story of success. She is just like us Seniors when she says, ”My computer/internet training is from years of trial/error experience only, my web design training is self-taught, and my internet marketing skills are feed from people that are already in the field of online marketing, I really believe in asking for directions. There are people out there to help you if you just ask the right questions on what you are looking for. I’ve had no formal training.” Her one advantage of course is that using the computer when younger comes much easier than for us seniors, but her idea of depending on others for guidance is good advice.

Another success idea from Donna is that she is “‘targeting the right audience, marketing properly, and using the right tool to thoroughly get my information out to the right people. Success in using the internet has always been positive for me.”  A healthy positive attitude goes a long way when striving to build that on line business.

By the photo you can tell  Donna is  no Baby Boomer but I felt her story of success was something  from which all us seniors on line could benfit.  As retirees we long for freedom to do our own thing and in Donna’s case she is already there while most her age are working at jobs they long to escape. Donna says, “I work from home where it is more informal  and brings out the creative side of me. If I was in more of a formal environment, my work output would be too stuffy and monotous. At home, I can feel more like myself.”  When the days work is done, she can go on her adventures, meet new people, and perhaps move on to another fun location.

Donna’s On Line Business

“I am a web site designer for RV parks. I also design websites that promote RV traveling and supports the RV community. Most of my income is from business advertising thru my own websites that promote the RV Lifestyle. My two websites that I own are http://www.travelbyrv.com and http://www.rvingblogs.com.
I’m located in Manchester, NH for the summer months and travel in an RV in the winter months. I left on November 20th 2008 to join the snowbirds of the south for five or six months. I’m 34 years old and I have a Maltese puppy named Jake. I’ve never been married and I have no children.”

Donna sums it all up when she says, “Trying to show seniors that people can be successful using the net hits home with me because where I travel from an RV, it really puts me in touch with the retirement population and they ask me how I live my life they way I do financially and when I tell them that I have an online business, they become very intrigued and I tell them exactly how it’s done.” Thank you Donna for showing us the meaning of on line success AND lifestyle success.

Donna uses the blog as a way of sharing her carefree winter adventures.  http://rvtrip08.wordpress.com/ Please note she has been in Florida, Arizona and managed to be in Vegas for the historic snow fall.  Gosh Donna the snow followed you to Vegas for that record 6 inch snowfall.

Panda Picked this success story to show that Seniors can make a good income on line and live the lifestyle they wish to live.  RV living allows for mobility  and freedom allowing us to increase the adventures that enrich our lives. On line business can provide that extra income to allow for RV living in warm comfortable environments while we enjoy doing our own thing.

That is not to say that all programs are taking advantage of us.  So once a week Panda will Pick someone she knows who is successful on the internet or a recommended product that fulfills it claims.

Over the past 3  years I have had a casual internet relationship with a lady by the name of Barb Doyle.  She would occasionally  respond to forum threads which I had posted.  Barb is a quiet marketer not really spending much time in the social community called Adlandpro.  Her posts were content rich showing that she was a lady who did not post on a whim, but posted to forum threads that had meaning to her and her business. She is not as concerned with being seen but being seen in the right places.

Meet Barb Doyle

All the glory goes to God.

Barb lives near St. Louis, Missouri with her husband.  She was born in Alaska as her father was in the military, stationed in the far north state.  When I asked about her on line involvement she responded:“I spend a few hours a day on the internet. I use a variety of marketing. I use direct mail, I place ads in newspapers, I place ads in ezines. I also leave my business card everywhere that I go. I am available to talk in person to small groups and I do this usually once a week. I focus on wellness and on developing a growing monthly income from home”.

Knowing ones market is a vital part of on and off line marketing so when I questioned her about that issue she responded “My market is most everyone because everyone is either focused on health or lack of it, wanting more income, or wanting more time to enjoy life. Network marketing is the very best way to leverage your time and to help others to be all that they can be which is why I believe we are put on this planet”.

Barb is a young 45 years old, so I was curious why she was working from home instead of working for someone else. “I am able to work from home as this is my business and it is all I do” she informed me. She can concentrate all her energy on this business. Her passion for her job shows as she says “ I truly love it. Every day when I wake up I feel like I have won the lottery. I have researched many hundreds of programs over the past 14 years and I research new programs that come out. Nothing compares when it comes to products for wellness or with developing a growing monthly income.”

What makes her different from 97% of on line marketers.?  Barb has real products, with re-orders from faithful customers. Barb’s success comes  not only from  her passion for her job, but her commitment. It goes beyond herself when we see she helps her team mates to succeed as well.

By believing in her products, helping others to achieve good health or business goals, she herself has realized success. “I am dedicated to helping anyone on my team to have the success that they are dreaming of. I have a great support site to help people to succeed one step at a time. I also send out a weekly newsletter by e-mail to everyone on the team”.

So what about those hype programs suggesting that you can make big money over night. Barb says “”So many wonder why they don’t have success and one reason is that they are building their business on a weak foundation of shifting sand rather than a solid foundation that will be here for a long time to come”.

Good advice from a successful internet marketer.  You can learn more about Barb’s business ventures at:

Panda Picked Barb Doyle as a successful on-line marketer because of her commitment to service, promotion of good products, consistency to her involvement in her industry.  She is a shining example of entrepreneurship at its best. As she says:  “Do it now, don’t live with regrets”.
