If you are attempting to get the eye and dollars of baby boomers consider visiting a blogger site called, Boomerconsumerbook.
It enjoys a really good Google placement and I can see why. I spent a while reading some of the posts. The one that really impressed me was the post for Nov. 15, 2007 on positive marketing messages.
The blog is administered by Matt Thornhill & John Martin authors of a book called,
Now I am reminded to make my blog posts on the positive side with lots of motivation. Thats easy for me because the opposite would be too depressing.
The authors have lots of posts from small to medium in length. Bite sized and easy to digest. They have included some graphics and video so the variety makes it very interesting. I am looking forward to reading more interesting posts.

I have the pleasure to sharing a site that is just for boomers and seniors who are making job transitions. It is called Now What Jobs . I just love the name itself which is based on a book written by the founder. It poses that question many have had after downsizing or any separation like retirement from their jobs. “What will I do now?” Since I am a big fan of re-careering and re-creating this site is especially attractive.
I was contacted by them a few weeks ago and reviewed their site. I am very impressed. When you visit right on the home page on the top is the picture of the founder, James Armstrong and the great purpose statement about the site. It states:
For Baby Boomers and Active Seniors, jobs, timely advice, corporate profiles, continuing education options real estate/relocation plus franchises and more are available here.
In addition you can add links! That means if you have a website or blog of interest to other baby boomers you can add it right here plus a 50 word description. I am convinced that this site with its wealth of information will go viral real soon and that means your information will travel with it.
The staff is great and stuff is updated often for a static website. I suspect they will have a blog soon so keep an eye open. Meanwhile do visit submit your site and glean from the deep well of information.

This site will have lots of my personal recommendations of products, promotions, particularly interesting sites and programs that relate to boomers like myself. I will also pass on the insights of others that have impressed me.
With the current linked relationships there are videos, podcasts and pictures just to keep it from becoming boring. (For example,see bloggingforboomers.com for the latest podcast on using widgets in your blogs)
I like to share information the way I like to receive it.
Also, feel free to correct any typos or grammar mistakes. I am still a work in progress.
I will appreciate any insights you want to share.
Thanks
Rosie
