How She Got Past The #1 Frustration Starting Online

The first interview of the year goes to a lady of which I’m a #1 fan!

The tremendously funny Peggy Campbell of “All About Baby Boomers” will certainly get you smiling, probably even guffawing at her look at life when you read her very entertaining blog or join her facebook page and you will soon notice how Peggy’s quips are an expert use of own voice, with humor and sophistication, as a writing style.

Today however, Peggy is getting serious and discussing with us what her #1 hurdle has been building a website presence.  There are lots and lots of websites that re-hash the same old frustrations they claim people are feeling (as it relates to a product they are selling), however, in these interviews we are digging around to find out what people are REALLY experiencing as they are building their business online.

So, without further adieu… my friend Peggy Campbell.


Condensed Transcript – Peggy Campbell interview:

Hi Peggy. Its great to talk with you today and get to ask you about your number 1 frustration as you take your business online. I expect that a great number of people are having the same experience and it is always interesting to hear how someone has dealt with the feelings we are having, has gotten past the hurdle and has been able to move on.

Q: So Peggy who are you and what do you do?

I am a 60 year old baby boomer, and rightfully proud of it.  I began this blog because I have read and heard so many differing opinions of what a baby boomer is, and decided to consider, condense, or refute some of those articles. The blog has taken on a life of it’s own….sometimes it is just relevant to fellow boomers…..sometimes it is just for fun….but, always it is submitted with the sincere hope that it helps you through your day, if only by giving you a smile!

Q: How long have you been in business?

This is trick, Jennifer….can we call it business, if I don’t sell anything? But, then again, I am trying to provide information, humor, and recipes (ha) to people….so maybe that is my business.

Q: How long have you been working at creating an internet business?

I started with ADC in (?) August or Sept of 2010 and that was the beginning of the road to success….hahahaha

Q: What has been the top challenge you’ve had starting an internet business?

Seriously, the biggest challenge I see when starting out is that you don’t know who to turn to….lots of scammers out there that take you money and leave you either with a product that doesn’t work, or not enough information for you to make it work. Knowing whose “steps” are the real way to start your business and who is just leading you on till they get your money is frustrating, expensive, and disheartening. On the other hand, once you do find someone who really delivers the training they promise…and adds encouragement and help, then the process takes on a whole new “feel”. It becomes fun and interesting and challenging, and the learning is as much a part of the process as the business itself.

Q: For people who are starting out what would you recommend to them if they are facing similar challenges?

Take time to research the people you are considering for teaching or mentoring….don’t just google them…go to forums or discussions where their student/customers are posting questions and comments. You should be able to tell if the students sound frustrated or fascinated.

Q: Next time Peggy I am going to talk to you about your great writing style and your ability to make a person feel…well…just good through the written word. Its quite an accomplishment. However, for those that want to get a hold of you how would they do it and are you ok if someone wants to contact you personally?

Feel free to post a comment or contact me personally.

Thank you Peggy and I can’t wait for your next article. And people if you want to learn from some excellent writing , I encourage you to check out either links and ask Peggy about how she has put voice and humor into her own personal style.
