Free Blog and Social Bookmarking Resources

It’s not too late for Boomers - who are technophobes or tech challenged - to get started creating something of value online.

And blogging is a really good place to begin because it has a low entry level threshold and you can start with little or no money.

My fiancee is an excellent example of what I am talking about. Prior to last August, the closest she ever got to internet marketing - personally - was spam from her old AOL account. But she took a free online course from Ed Dale and Dan Raine called the Thirty Day Challenge to learn the fundamentals of Web 2.0 and blogging and how to get listed fast in the search engines. Today when I searched on her primary keyword term for her blog, Baby Boomer Life , I found her at #3 in Google.

Pretty cool…

Blogging takes work -  mostly learning how - and consistency. But It’s fun…

She’s worked diligently on creating good content. It helps that she is a talented writer with a great deal of life experience and ability. She really writes interesting stuff because she is an interesting person. But just the same, she created the whole thing herself and has done an excellent job teaching herself about social bookmarking and creating online relationships with other bloggers. Can you tell I’m proud of her?
