I am 51. I've been online for about 12 years doing this internet marketing thing. Not full time but still making some parttime cash. I know there are a lot of young folks out there but who else is an old guy like me? Is this a game for only the twenty and thirty somethings who grew up with computers?

    Nope, it's not just for young folk. I'm older than you, and been at this full-time since 1999. Started as a hobby in 1997.

      Not necessarily, I didn't post my age. I only said I was older than the OP, who was 51.

        LOL, without revealing our respective advanced ages... I guess the answer to the OP's question is, Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Internet Marketing is not just a young person's game.

    I'm 22.

    I've taught tons of others how to make money online and in my experience, the older ones are the only people I have seen really stick with it.

    I don't think age really means anything though. It's more about who's there to take action and their surrounding environment and how they interact with it.

    I'm 23 and I've been helping other people get started in IM lately and the younger people actually seem to have a harder time!

    Most of them aren't as life experienced. They don't understand sales. They only understand the computer side of things. The computer side of things is actually the easiest part to teach! It is the psychology behind selling and writing that takes time. Most young people also don't seem to understand the power of things like networking and diversifying.

    Makes me glad my mom raised me and my brother to think like business people by making us come up with creative money making "schemes" whenever we wanted something special growing up.

      I think so too, but I advise you to try being 22 for a whole year before you try being 23, otherwise eventually the short-cuts will catch up with you, and you'll end up with premature aging.
