I may be new here, but I feel like I'm old everywhere else

[Lefty]

Hi everybody!

As the title suggests, I've been in sales and marketing for a lifetime. I've worked for Internet companies now for 13 years and was laid off about two years ago, so...
I'd had enough -I decided to build my own dream instead of someone elses and set upon building the site in my signature. I bought the domain name, trademarked it and taught myself Drupal, and the site went live about a month ago.
I know, another "baby boomer site", but hey it's still a niche, as large and crowded as it may be. But I don't intend to dominate the niche, only to leverage it. What I mean by this is to develop the site as a news and information site, monetized with affiliate ads that pull baby boomers, and that's where I hope find some help here on 5 Star.
Finally, if anyone here needs anything I can offer, just send me an IM, especially boomers!

regards to all,

Dave

You can't shrink boomer heads. They explode. That's why they're called boomer heads.

Oh, I just know I'm gonna like it here!
Thanks Linda - I've spent way too much time on that other forum, the one with the red and black theme (and I like it that the boss here is a woman - they work harder, they're prettier and they still have hearts)

Hey! Ron and I are pretty with hearts too...

OK, looks like I made it through the initiation, I got the secret handshake down and like Cheers, "everybody knows my name", so I'm moving out of this introduction thread and getting back to work
