What about work?

Yes, our senior citizens are online and reaming the internet like George Michael in a public toilet!

Our savvy online seniors are making quite a hit right now and don’t look like backing off any time soon…… or at all!

A study recently taken by eMarketer tells that a majority of Internet users over the age of 65 used e-mail, shopped online, researched health information and news, and banked on the Web. In fact, seniors were more likely than any other age group to conduct e-commerce activities.

Yup… more likely to conduct e-commerce activities than ANY OTHER AGE GROUP!!

“The technology adoption behaviors of the younger generations is studied frequently and their impact on advertising and marketing is widely known.” said CTAM president and CEO Char Beales in a statement. But, he noted, “Boomers and Matures, who have significant purchasing power, are active online and more comfortable with technology than often reported.”

It makes sense, no? I mean who are the people with the most time, and most disposable income? … Besides internet marketers

eMarketer estimates that in 2009 Internet users ages 45 to 63 make up 28.8% of the total, or 57.4 million users.

Some people have thrown the idea around of making a membership site only to get the point of thinking

It is so complicated, I need expensive, hard to install software

And you know what, I have seen some membership sites who spent a lot of money creating the actual site, but often miss the point. That isn’t to say you should not put effort into the site itself. In simple terms,

Anyone of any skill level can create a membership site!

You can keep it simple with a sales page and autoresponder, or you can be more creative and complex with sophisticated software scripts. This all comes down to what you can do!

The Rhodes Brothers have failed at this! Several times in fact! But guess what, they didn’t give up!

John and Matt have fought their way through many wrongs to find the rights! On top of this, they have just conducted a 12,000 person survey all focused on membership sites and the issues people face with them! Imagine the resources you need to get that kind of information?

Your name and email!

Yep, that is all you need! For a simple opt-in you can get a free report that covers the major concerns, strong points and myths of membership sites!

If you are thinking about creating a membership website, or already have them created, you need to get your hands on this!

I stumbled across these rules and decided that after reading them, people easily forget that when dealing with their online presence, it is no different to the non virtual world they reside in!

Keep these rules in mind when tackling your next project or suffer the wraith of a lesson not learned!

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.
