Derrick's Helping Hand

Great ways to create an online presence and the tools to get you there!

Since my move to Kitchener / Waterloo back in March of 2010 I have endeavored to find a way to making an income which led me to my online activities due to the lack of available work for a former Handyman without licensing or trade certificates and a grade 8 education. As I searched for income sources I found the above needs which were not strictly demanded when I started working full time at an early age of 14. I have worked for myself and other companies for over 35 years and while working for others I have been able to learn many different aspects of how businesses operate and help their employees learn new skills which simply enhance their bottom line and provide a neccessity for profit for years to come.
During those 35 years I have performed many building maintenance tasks and learned several trades along the way which to my dismay have no bearing toward finding a job in todays current markets. I have also tried to upgrade my education and found my reading skillls are far below what is required to gain a GED diploma and prepare for 2 to 4 years of schooling to receive any trades certificates or computer related employment. 
I have a new idea which is exposed within this sites Home Page and Promoting A Friend Or Relative page which will hopefully drive me to some sort of steady income opportunity, however I am publishing this blog to provide you with the online activity I have been able to learn and create with free promotional tools ,several affiliate accounts, and a vast reach with social networking. This task was very time consuming and frustrating which has not yet afforded me an income even after just over two years of work learning and implementing several tactics to become known on the internet all while using simple free tools. These steps have been used with several platforms and I have found that some people have been reporting my Blogger.com sites as spam blogs due to my content and possibly jealousy of the amount of content I have produced. I am not happy about my sites being tagged as spam but that will not stop me from using other platforms to possibly create an online income from my activity as an Affiliate Marketer and promoting my knowledge for the local and worldly audience everyone can produce for free if they have the patience and know how!
Since I am Interested in helping people with several different endeavors and at the least costly values for them I would like you to view some of my creative works which are posted online with several different blogs and websites all working to show a beginner of online activity how they can acheive some recognition from their own ideas and passions they them selves can share to the world and locally to their friends and family !
Given my endeavors from search and learn tactics I welcome any one to comment about my sites and what knowledge they have learned and utilized to placing themselves or others within this vast cloud of information which will create a presence whether just for fun or for a source of income. I will point out I do everything with my own views of thought and manage to present all of my informational sites for FREE, which won't make me rich but WILL help anyone begin an online presence for next to nothing in cost but does require patience and time to produce. There are tools on several of my sites which are free to use and share but as an Affiliate Marketer there are products I felt can be utilized by any of my visitors to my several sites to purchase with discounts and full costs but with direct and secure links to those products sites and purchase pages. I must also stress the fact that all computers need to be enhanced to handle the continuous usage which is required when running several sites that have content which is uploaded from your computers hard drive to your specific site or its platform servers. Those tools are displayed within my sites and will help to keep your computers running smoothly and secure as well, so visit these following sites and start learning the same knowledge I have accessed and share my information to the world of venturous internet users in the ever expanding cloud this world has created.
