My Story
I am Don Dixon. I have over 30 years in Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Operations, Management, Training, and Website Development, I have a lot of experience to draw upon for running and creating successful businesses. I am also married (40+ Years), a father, and a homeowner. This means that if it doesn’t work or breaks, I fix it!
I can add to this that I am also a published author as well!
I have spent my entire life, trying to save money by spending time. Which means that I went to YouTube, watched a video or two, and tried to fix it. I have a 95% fixed rate. Yes, there were times when I needed a professional.
Call me resourceful. This approach attempted to save me money by doing it myself. Those who are frugal like this may be savvy about saving money for themselves. All too often though, many like me are not.
The Gray Apocalypse is real. Nearly 80% of Americans are underfunded for retirement. I was one of them. As a resourceful Baby Boomer, I went in search of a solution.
My Blog
So I started Setting Points for people (like me) who are 50+ and desire to escape the Just Over Broke (JOB) lifestyle, create a retirement nest egg, or supplement their income once in retirement. The original tagline for Setting Points:
“The Point Where Money Surpasses Time”
… is still the overall guiding philosophy of Setting Points.
I will show you how to use your life experiences to create a profitable niche blog that generates passive income through affiliate marketing.
Unlike other blogs that only teach you how to blog, with Setting Points I also share my real-life stories, challenges, and successes while on this mission to blog my way toward retirement. Setting Points is not just a blog, but a journey that you can join and learn from.
In addition, Setting Points also provides you with the best tools and resources that will help you start and grow your niche blog. You’ll get access to the Wealthy Affiliate Program, an AI-infused online platform offering training, hosting, support, and a community for aspiring and experienced affiliate marketers alike. You’ll also find various useful, tried, and tested, free tools like Grammarly, RankMath, Buffer, and more, which will help you with reading, writing, SEO, social media, and other aspects of blogging.
Don’t let your retirement dreams turn into a nightmare. When the pop-up catches you, grab a copy of my blogger’s checklist. This will subscribe you to Setting Points and discover how niche blogging and affiliate marketing can help you achieve financial freedom and happiness through the blogs you build.
My Life
I am not just the founder, but a client as well. Consider my case, I found myself within ten years of retirement and Just Over Broke (JOB). My savings would not last longer than I will live, nor will they support my lifestyle at a level to which I am accustomed.
I have lived my life by the “Golden Rule”. I always made a point of helping whenever possible. Spent a lot of my time helping others. I also spend time every day learning something new. Learning is living. What is the point of living, if you are not learning something new?
Yet here I am. Staring out across the abyss. Looking for a way to make ends meet, now and beyond.
Where is that extra retirement income coming from?
What Are You Thinking?
You watch all of those “Side Hustle” Videos (ads paid for btw), promoting a million ways to put money in their pockets. Side Hustles and Funnel Tossing will not create much of a business for you.

It Is Your Future
So, what would it take to become comfortable? Stress-free? What is your goal? Set the Point… Put a Number On It…
