Start An Online Business For Free Now

I found this article “26 Businesses You Can Start For Free” and I thought I’d mention the top five here.

They are not all online business ideas. I am going to mention some that are.

Guess what Number One is! (my personal fave, fyi).

Blogging, as in monetized blogging.

The author, Briana Morgaine, discusses the elements a would-be blogger needs to work toward success:

Pick a topic or niche you are passionate about
See if vendors of this product (digital or physical) have an affiliate program so you can sign up to promote it
If you want to write an ebook where can you get the best format/publishing/ guide

Those three points encompass a lot of know-how.

Resume Writing

Especially if you’ve had work in HR and participated in the hiring process, you could do very well at this.

Even if you haven’t, knowing or learning Microsoft Office or Libre Office (a comparable free office suite) will set you up to write good resumes.

You can learn almost anything on Youtube!

If you chose this area in which to make money you would do the following:

Learn to write a blog with which you could promote your resume business
Sign up on Fiverr to advertise your services
Sign up to Canva and learn how to make images (good for your blog posts too)

Study your competition to see what their web sites look like. This will help you develop a unique approach so you can stand out and get clients.

Start now.

If you’re working full time and are over 50 or over 60, decide how long you will take to learn the skills you need to move forward.

Decide how many hours a week you will work on this project.

Example – Gardening And Landscaping

Are you a retired gardener or landscaper? Or have you grown a garden for years and acquired the green thumb skills?

The physical aspect of this business requires strength (or hiring it) and up front money for products.

Here’s where I’m going – without laying out those thousands of dollars, you can make money blogging about:

Gardening equipment
Outdoor patio furniture
Soil mixes
Compost bins
Seeds pots and planters
Containers for gardens
Potted trees
Gardening aprons, stools, sun hats, sun glasses and sunblock!

You could easily write more than a hundred product reviews about all those items.

Think about where your readers would go to buy them:

Target
Walmart
Amazon
Ebay
Etsy
Home Depot
Lowes
Overstock

And others.

You can sign up to be an affiliate marketer for any or all of those retailers. When your readers go to them from your blog links, you will make a commission from their purchases.

I explain more about this here:

The place I recommend for where you get started, the Wealthy Affiliate web site, teaches you the necessary legalities of affiliate marketing and makes it easy for you to include disclosures on your blog.

How To Start An Online Business by Paypal

I picked this article to review because it is the most recently written article on page 1 of google results today. Also, I had no idea Paypal ran articles like this, because I’m in such a hurry when I log in to do a transaction! 🙂

A major point this Paypal article makes is, do you want to buy a website or make your own?

Buying a website may involve thousands of dollars!

And then, you may end up hiring someone to customize it, which won’t be cheap.

You can use Wix, Weebly or Blogger to make a site, but it won’t be “dot com”. It will be Wix, Weebly or blogspot.com. And you won’t own it! They will.

Investing the time into making your own website(s) gives you a huge advantage. You will know what’s “under the hood”.

Want to change the image heading an article? That will take you a few minutes. You will have learned how to:

Find free images
Resize, crop, compress, and otherwise customize them for your blog
Put on or take off borders
Add text like your site url or your brand phrase

That’s just one thing you’ll be able to do. That’s just one skill out of hundreds you will learn.

Your blog is your business and you will have control over its appearance.

You will also have control over its Presence. Meaning, how easily the search engine users find you.

Search Engine Optimization is an acquired skill.

You want to pick the search words, or keywords, that people are using to find things on the web.

There are many good keyword search tools that you can buy to hone this.

The keyword tool Jaaxy is included in the Wealthy Affiliate Membership.

30 searches in Jaaxy are included in the Free Trial you can view here.

You can also get Jaaxy to use outside of Wealthy Affiliate.

To Wrap This Up

There are different ways to start an online business for free now.

Make a list of your skills, interests and hobbies. What stands out?

Do you make something that you could sell? A craft work, jewelry, or art work? That could go on Etsy, Amazon or Ebay.

You will need a blog to promote it, just like you would affiliate products.

You might see articles on line about promoting products without a web site.

When you follow the information you’ll find that you need to buy traffic to make this work. Will that be $100 USD a month or $500 USD a month?

Ka-ching! It’s easy to see who is making the money there! Don’t go for those!

With the Wealthy Affiliate system, you’ll have help all the way.

I think you’ll be awestruck, quite honestly, to see how much help is offered by the seasoned members of the site who design images, buttons, short cuts, and just give them away!

Any questions? I’ll answer them here, or I’ll see you in there!

Feeling Angry About Money

June 9, 2020May 4, 2019 by Dee

“I’m feeling angry about money today.”

Is that you, ever? Do you get to feeling angry about money too?

If you’ve ever felt that way, I’m going to help you right now, so that the feeling will fade from your life. Here’s what I was thinking a few months ago:

“Do I Want To Learn To Work On The Internet?”

“Or do I have to find a way to make money after I retire whether I like it or not?”

If this is where you’ve found yourself after 50 or after 60, or close to retirement – or what should have been your retirement year – What happens now?

Take stock of your situation and consider the advantages of internet marketing and work from home business opportunities. (More about that in this article!)

You can work at home and be your own boss
You can define your own work hours
You can control your own work budget
You can develop talents of yours that perhaps were never tapped into in your former career
You can run a business promoting products of large retailers – affiliate marketing
You can use your web sites to promote your own products

With persistence, you will build an on line presence which will earn money even in vacation times!

While this financial result will not happen over night, it is rewarding to learn how to generate income in the earn-while-you-learn method, seeing small increases that will arrive at a tipping point.

As long as you don’t give up, a web site can begin to profit! When this happens, you can keep building it – and start another one!

You can start for free, with real training – click here to find out.

Not Enough Money In Retirement

The “real” or true purchasing power incomes in the US have not increased since the 1970’s. If you started an investment plan then, that was supposed to pay out at $1.5 million, it certainly would not support a lifestyle in 1970’s dollars (or Euros, or Pounds, etc., as much of the industrialized world is in the same boat, or doing much worse).

Many retirees are happy to keep working, but don’t want the pressure of daily schedules, commuting, or answering to a boss.

Low paid part time jobs are abundant. In fact, part time jobs are a ploy used by employers to avoid providing benefits for their workers.

Yet, I’m not pointing fingers at business owners. Their expenses rise with the need to satisfy work place regulations, state laws, and federal laws too. It is sad to see small businesses and the “mom and pop” businesses close, while the giant and on line retailers close in for the kill.

I am going to show you how to take advantage of that factor! It’s called affiliate marketing.

Retirees who own property may be able to boost their inadequate income by getting a Reverse Mortgage on their home. These are expensive and tricky loans but can work for some. (See my post topic “please explain a reverse mortgage“.)

What are your options if you don’t have a home to slowly “reverse” back to a bank?

Move to Thailand where you can live near the beach on your social security income
Move into your kids’ basement – if you have kids, and if they have space to spare
Keep working in spite of physical or mental demands or lack of interest
Rent rooms in your home, not always a good choice but can work out for some locations
Consult, tutor and coach free lance, if you have the right credentials

Opt for the best opportunity there is –

Explore the types of working home jobs that are not scams!

Stress About Low Income

Millions of seniors and the disabled suffer from the anxieties and depression of living in poverty with no hope for things getting better.

Stress leads to disease and physical degeneration in the healthy individuals, causing health care and staying functional to become even more expensive.

Millions of seniors live in quiet isolation and have no clue how to ask for help. They don’t know about Food Banks, Meals On Wheels or Senior Centers.

This is a sad topic which I’ve outlined in detail in this article about retirement incomes in the US. Bleak, but I still have a message of hope!

Angry About Not Enough Money

Here’s a little personal story – which motivated me to write about how you can learn to work on the internet.

Yesterday a client came into our business and bullied the boss into a ten dollar discount on the service. Ten dollars! I was fuming at the attitude.

First, our fees are the same for everyone. And we’re not a swap meet or bazaar where you come in and haggle. I had to bite my tongue!

But what was really going on was me suppressing my thoughts like “if the boss did that for everyone”…

I will never get another raise
I’ll get laid off (been there done that!)
We’ll go out of business
This client will spread the word and everyone will want the (unofficial) discount

While driving home I discovered I was really angry about this ‘not enough money’ state of mind.

Food prices are up! The stock market is going down! I can’t keep up! Yes that was a wild and melodramatic direction to launch into.

But you know what I mean, right? Luckily, anger is very energizing. Why waste it? So, I didn’t.

Right away I sat down at my keyboard to tell you exactly where to go to get the precise and detailed training you need about how to get rid of stress about low income – I wrote this article for you.

Increase Your SS Income – How?

I found Wealthy Affiliate University after years at making a little extra money at marketing on line. I don’t mean directly selling, but writing about products and getting paid commissions from resulting sales. That is called affiliate marketing.

The trick to this is creating a web site that will be easy to navigate, pleasant to read, and provide the reader with information that leads to a sale.

You begin by participating in this training for free and see just how it is done. You will be provided the structure for two web sites at no cost, and you can go through each step at a time. This is for one whole week.

You can see hundreds of sample sites simply by clicking on the profile buttons and the links of the other members.

You can submit questions. You will be able to follow mini-trainings made by seasoned bloggers which spell out some of the finer points.

It’s a lot to learn! But that is what leads to success. You can create a long term business leaving you free to work it as you vacation. You can choose your own hours for being on line.

Senior Jobs After Retirement

June 9, 2020April 30, 2019 by Dee

Senior jobs after retirement – what do you want?

I read and write at a few sites with a significant senior age content and I see much concern about senior jobs after retirement.

I am happy for the many who try to earn a few dollars writing blogs for money, and do not seem to have any real challenge surviving – keeping a roof over their head, or eating. The basics. But they are not in the majority group of people over 65.

Most seniors are not nearly that comfortable or secure. Is there an option to work at home and increase your ss income?

Notably, veterans and disabled veterans, and the general population of the disabled, are also struggling.

“I want to start a small website business”.

If this is you, keep reading because I have found a solution to stress about low income without going back to the nine-to-five.

If you’re ready to roll with some free training just go to it now!

OK, I can’t resist it – here’s a flash back to the film “Nine To Five”. I really love the inclusion of the Disney-type animated characters because when I worked corporate, most days, I felt like I was somewhere between a cartoon and a nightmare. But, gotta laugh now.

If you would have to be dragged back there screaming and kicking, keep reading for a great solution to prevent YOU from hiring on to one of the typical senior jobs after retirement.

Jobs For Senior Citizens Over 65 – Choices?

A few years ago when my son still lived with me and we used to go to Frys together, either for him to help me buy the computer accessories I needed, or for me to pay for whatever he needed, he would often seek out one particular man on the sales floor.

Turns out that this older silver-haired rep on the floor (read, lowly paid clerk) was retired from the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena California! He and my tech-educated son would go off into conversations about computer parts and functions in which I could not hope to participate.

And I wondered why he was employed there.
Was he retired early before a pension kicked in?
Was he bored out of his mind after working in such an exciting environment?
Did divorce rob him of half his retirement income?
Did a spousal death with attendant medical bills drain his savings?

All those things can happen to any of us. There are many reasons people will be looking for work in their retirement years. Many financial decisions made within a family aren’t really financial, but they are emotional decisions that involve money.

I can’t help but notice that a lot of employees in retail stores such as:

Target
Walmart
Best Buy
Frys
Kohls
Walgreens…

…Are seniors, or certainly folks over 50. And, truly I wonder about them.

Is the lady rearranging some lingerie a laid off electrical engineer?
Is the man stocking heavy vacuum cleaner boxes on high shelves a bank executive who was retired early?
Is the child-like person putting purses back on the shelves a teen who might have been in university if her parents hadn’t been laid off?

None of these retail peeps are highly paid. In fact, I’m shocked at what’s considered decent pay these days.

According to Glass Door dot com, a manager for a GNC vitamin Mall store (way over-priced nutritional supplements) gets $13.44 an hour!

A manager! I guess anyone else gets minimum wage?

In a Sprint store, a manager might make $44,000.00 a year. That’s barely enough for single adults in a coastal city to take care of themselves adequately (safe housing, health care, not counting dentistry). And for a married person breadwinner who is trying to stay in their home? Appalling.

All of these people could be making as much money affiliate marketing (click on that link for a review of a training system) for a similar store! With web sites they make on line.

In other words, they would have a work from home job, bringing in the income they need, by helping others find the products they want to purchase online.

Senior jobs after retirement – earn from home.

Or from your RV as you travel
Or from your country cottage.
From anywhere you can connect to the internet.

For example, Amazon affiliate marketing is a venue for earning income from home. Most large retailers have a program where website owners can make commissions by referring buyers to their sites.

The easiest way to find out if this is something for you, is to build a couple of web sites, learn the process step by step, and find out how affiliate marketing is done.

Get Started Now – Work At Home After Retirement

I have summarized the process in my article Getting Started, and illustrate there exactly what you have access to at no cost to you.

Access to real training is a rare offer! You’ll have classrooms to peruse and you’ll see hundreds of questions and answers about the processes of setting up a site.

Just imagine being at home every day, or traveling, while you set up and maintain product

promotions, earning commissions from the retailers where others are showing up to every day to stock shelves or stand at the checkout counter.

With patience and persistence and the correct training, you’ll see your web “real estate” appear and begin to represent a whole new lifestyle for senior jobs after retirement. Your retirement!

To get a fuller picture right now, click onto my page about free giveaway websites where I’ve laid out how this offer works in detail.

Included in the free instruction are more ideas for sources of products that are marketed on line. You’ll find one, or a few, that appeals to your personal interests such as:

foods and specialty foods
electronics
home and garden products
“how to” digital guidebooks
nutritional supplements
skin care and hair care
sports products
fitness and exercises

And more!

I hope I’ve given you some good ideas for senior jobs after retirement where you can earn money working on line – and love your life!

To save you going back up to find it, here’s my link on how to get started.

Please leave any comments or questions below and I’ll catch up with you!

When Should You Start Saving Retirement Money?

May 10, 2019April 19, 2019 by Dee

When should you start saving retirement money can be a depressing issue, if you haven’t been putting away even a small amount starting at college age.

You have noticed, while reading some articles about investing, the tried and true method is to get a few decades lined up for your returns.

Suzie Orman, one of the most prolific writers to address the “ordinary people” situations, advises to just do your best.

If you haven’t even started, and you’re over 50 or over 60, then just start now!

Realize You Can Do Your Best Now

I just scanned a whole page of investment books at Amazon. You can CLICK HERE to see those. I haven’t read them all but will examine the reviews and choose from that list before the day is over.

And I need to become more aware of these possiblities now. Do you?

A few years ago I read a book about how to get wealthy and keep your wealth. Point number one was to start investing about $5.00 a week, when you’re about twenty years old, and when you retire at age 65, you will have 1.5 million dollars saved.

If you’re a senior, you probably registered quickly that to skip the Latte, and make your coffee at home, saves twenty-five dollars a week.

One hundred dollars a month!

Great advice, if you’re twenty years old, to invest that amount. But what about us?

This is a blog for seniors or the disabled who want to, or must work at home. Most of us don’t have forty-five to sixty-five years of investment return time before us.

So we’re going to become more aware of how to do our best, right?

One oldie-goldie method of saving is to take ten percent of all income and save that.

If you’re downsizing and de-clutteruing, save everything from your garage sale or other means of getting in a little money for used goods.

Learn about investing, not my area of expertise.

In fact, learning new things is good for your senior brain, which can always do more!

The simple fact that you are aware of your situation means that you are already tracking a solution.

You Saw That Clickable Link Up There

I am not trying to sell you books on this post, but that link up there goes to Amazon.

Click on it to examine the possibilities of investing.

If a reader did come across this post looking for books, and they then bought one after clicking that link, I would get a commission on that sale.

I would also get a commission from anything else they bought during that shopping trip to Amazon. That link is an affiliate link.

Do you ever go to Amazon for one item and then remember you need a few more things? Do you check the daily deals? Millions of shoppers do.

Target, Home Depot, and Walmart customers do too. Can you see where I’m going with this?

I put that link there because –

one approach to adding to your not-enough retirement income is to start a marketing blog.

Imagine that in a few months, your blog, with a hundred posts on it, will attract buyers who are happy to see those links. Information and links that will make their shopping faster and easier.

Not that you shouldn’t save and invest some of your savings, but blogging is an accessible back up plan for making some money on your own time and terms.

A marketing blog has a few features that puts it to the front of the line for starting a business.

Allow yourself to try out a ready-made blog building training system, won’t you? No cost upfront?

Read more about that – CLICK HERE.

Take A Week To Create Years Of Being Your Own Boss Online

Your initial investment in exploring the potential to make money online is your time.

Can you put one week aside of your full time or after work time to learn how to create one or two made-for-marketing blogs?

CLICK HERE to go to your free one week business blog classes.

There is zero financial investment just to try out (unless you don’t have a computer or internet connection) because those are already in your budget right?

So back to your one week, when you’re going to hang the Do Not Disturb sign on the back of your chair, or pin to your couch, you can learn the following:

How to recognize a product to promote, whether on Amazon or elsewhere
How to choose a url, or blog address (myblog.com,net,or info, just examples)
Click where directed to put a blog base together (all code prepared for you, you won’t even see it)

I Understand This Is A Real Blog? Not A Trial Throw-Away?

Not one minute of your invested time will be wasted. The trial web sites offered use WordPress, a popular blogging platform, meaning coded foundation for site building.

Wealthy Affiliate, the training community you can access, provides their siterubix.com version on which you will build your business oriented blog.

After trial and error, and step by step guidance, you can then convert this to a dot.com (org, info, net, co). The real thing!

You will spend $13.99 – $15.99 for that Domain Name Service.

The classes are videos, and easy to follow. You can also repeat them for your best comprehension, as necessary. Each class has a forum discussion, developing in real time, where you can get questions answered.

Your next financial investment might be $19 for another whole month of access to the classes. A month!

You can continue to learn the professional development your blog needs to attract online searchers to your articles and recommendations.

You can help people find the items they want to know about and buy, online.

Start Saving Now

It is getting harder every month to live well on a low income, especially in the coastal cities. Poorer people usually have pretty good strategies in place for countering high food prices and incomprehensible gas hikes.

Unfortunately the gas hikes result in the increase of most other goods to compensate for shipping costs.

If you were to grow sprouts in your kitchen, for your salad greens how much can you save? Two sprouting containers can be had for about ten dollars.

A couple of bags of organic sprouting mixes for salads is under twenty dollars, and will last a couple at least a year.

Sprouts also have concentrated nutrition in the form of enzymes that rejuvenate your body cells. There are two good reasons to try it! (Enzymes are the most expensive form of food supplements.)

That’s just one example, and you may be knowledgeable about others.

Another might be to buy a used bread machine and make all your own bread. Mmm…That smell!

Here is an article I wrote about How Can Seniors Save Money. It gives you more household tips for spending less.

To recap:

Spend less with increased cognizance of how you spend
Save more – which means you’ll get more sense of security
Get a back up plan for retirement years – know you have some control

How To Turn A Hobby Into A Home Business (jump-start some ideas, CLICK on it)

If you’re a couple, consider your individual strengths and weaknesses that you bring to blogging. Maybe one of you is good at writing out ideas and the other is a good editor.

Any kind of trusted partnership equals more power!

Maybe one of you will write all blog posts and the other will add images, polish the format and do all the post-publishing work.

Oh dear what’s that?

There are many tips for promoting your content which will be covered in your Wealthy Affiliate classes. You are never on your own!

A 24/7 worldwide community is at your disposal for getting help.

Creating a successful marketing blog may take six months to a year. It takes consistency and perseverance.

Think about how you will save money on:

Gas
Separate courses for each topic, either in a community college or online
Text books, paper, or printer toner for producing your own books

Consider how you have just invested some time in reading this article. I hope it inspires you to explore further as to when you should start saving retirement funds – or begin to create them.

Do you have a home business already, or an idea for one? Please do share, we can all learn from each other.

Equal Pay Same Job

June 9, 2020April 13, 2019 by Dee

Equal pay same job for women? Really? Where is that?

(Warning: this article is written in all sincerity but with humor and irony too. A little bit tongue-in-cheek. It is not meant to trigger intense political discourse.)

Why Women Deserve Equal Pay – Explained!

The current POTUS (President Of The United States) has stated today that women should receive an equal paycheck to the amounts paid to men, if they are doing the same work.

I recall in the early 1990’s reading a news article about how women were paid a sixty-nine cent “male” dollar. Today, April 12, 2016, news reports put it at a seventy-three cent dollar.

Wow! ‘SHE” got a four cent raise in about twenty years!

“You’ve Come A Long Way Baby!”

Remember those cigarette ads? The Eve ciggie, long and so slim (like women are supposed to be, like Barbie Dolls). In the pretty white and pastel packs?

Women in affiliate marketing on line don’t take that kind of pay cut. Women who are

Caucasian
Hispanic
African American
African
Asian
Middle Eastern
Native American
Multi racial…
Gay
Single
Old
Fat
Have big boobs/don’t have big boobs

…get paid the equal “male” dollar! How?

Blog Writing For Money Pays Commissions On Product Sales

The customer comes from a link on somebody’s (maybe your) web site. The retailers

Amazon
Target
Home Depot
Walmart
Clickbank
T J Maxx
Ebay…

…and the other several hundred don’t know what you look like! They only know your affiliate

name or nick name. There is no grueling Human Resources interview process to affect any bias toward you in the hiring procedures.

You don’t have to be like George Sand, Ms. Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, 1804-1896, an author publishing in France in the 1800’s, female lover of the composer Frederic Chopin, and mother of two.

You don’t have to be like George Eliot, 1819-1889, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, who wrote Middlemarch. She was an English poet and a journalist, as well as a novelist.

You don’t have to disguise yourself like Jennie Hodgers, Sarah Emma Edmonds, or Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, all of whom dressed like men and enlisted to fight in the American Civil War.

This isn’t a feminist rant. Not at all! This about being paid fairly.

Tell me, husbands and partners of the male gender, wouldn’t it have been great if your wife had brought home twenty-seven per cent more pay during those decades when you both worked? If she is Caucasian, that is.

If your wife is Hispanic, Asian, African American, African, Middle Eastern, Native American or multi racial – and if there were equal pay for equal work – according to today’s news, she could have brought home forty to eighty per cent more wages! (That is the extent to which she may have been unfairly paid).

Where can a senior female working after full retirement age make a masculine dollar?

A manly dollar! (I can just hear Richard Simmons saying that with a twinkle in his eye!)

I’ll tell you where! At Wealthy Affiliate University. There is no gender discrimination in earning commissions.

Life Is Not Fair

It is SO not fair that the financial institutions collapsed in 2008. So not fair that pensions vaporized, house loans were foreclosed on. So not fair that the ‘guv’ printed money to pay the wayward banks trillions instead of paying for your house or retirement fund losses.

Over 65 And Still Have To Work?

If so, play on an equal playing field. Put your time, energy and skills into building free websites and getting started in a Gender Equal job, a unique arena of the senior citizens job opportunities.

This doesn’t just apply to gender, but to racial profiles as well. That ‘male dollar’ doesn’t apply across the boards, as many know.

Why Women Deserve Equal Pay

If you’re a husband to a wife who is still with you in your retirement years, you don’t need any explanation.

If you’re a domestic partner who lucked out and found someone compatible to live with in your senior years, and you both need to work, aren’t you glad if she can get paid like a man?

Equal Pay Equal Work Law

Writing blogs for money, becoming a Wealthy Affiliate, will get you equal pay! The making money on line activities don’t require an equal pay equal work law.

Equal opportunity
Equal training
Equal access to free giveaway websites

I feel like I should call the White House or something and say “you’re right!”…”Get on it!”…”Equal pay same job – Dude!”.

I’m not sure that call would go through lol.

But I hope I’m getting through to you, whatever your gender, class, or racial background.

The Giant Retailers need you! Oh, yes they do, or there wouldn’t be any affiliate marketing. And who else needs you too?

New Age Self Improvement authors
Compost experts
Pole dancing instructors
Organic gardening pros
Solar panel build-your-own designers
How to do ballet writers
How to get rid of warts, man-breasts, and toe nail fungus advice givers

That’s just the tip of the iceberg of the very broad “how to” ebook field!

But I’m A House Wife Who Has Never Worked! I Could Be A Web Site Marketer?

You bet you can! With your experience, you’re an expert in

Cleaning supplies
Window blinds
Organic bedding
Frozen foods
Cookware
Appliances
Sugar free snacks
On line pasture fed cheeses
Yoga mats
School supplies
Fair trade coffee
Adult coloring books
Water filters
Cell phones
Social Media
Parental Filters
Everything!

Running a household is like running a small business. You qualify! I would credit this expertise

to house husbands and single dads too.

Top Jobs – Retirees

Top Jobs – Retirees Over 65?

Are you looking for the top jobs for retirees? Oh – you weren’t planning to be working after full retirement age?

You are in the company of millions! Millions of retired seniors who for decades,

Worked hard
Raised a family (or maybe didn’t)
Paid into a pension through the job, or some other type of investment savings
Paid off the house
Started your bucket list

But what really happened? Many bubbles burst in a harsh way because of financial greed and corruption. Pensions are gone, banks are gone, and for many, the house is gone too.

Over fifty per cent of seniors retiring now aren’t ready financially. Actually, they’re simply not retiring! (Some ideas to help that issue HERE).And they can’t all be consultants lol.

This is however quite a serious matter. Reinventing yourself is a dire necessity!

What Are The Desired Jobs For Senior Citizens Over 65?

Most retiree wannabe’s, like yourself, have decades of experience and acquired knowledge. Whether you’re a professional with degrees or a clerical worker, you have an abundance of skills to draw from. Perhaps skills you have never realized you developed.

What Many Work From Home Seniors Want

Work that is not physically challenging
Work that gives them time to exercise in the way that most benefits them as an individual
Work that allows them to rest when they need to
Work that produces enough income for good food and quality medical care
Activity that is mentally invigorating – “you don’t use it you lose it”

Looking at a seniors’ job board at the Glass Door web site, I see

Ads for in home caregivers (must clean, lift, bathe, cook, and shop for another senior or person with a disability)
Ads for caregivers in hospitals, assisted living and skilled care facilities
Ads for drivers to help seniors get around

All of these jobs bring in under $26,000 per year. Those are hard jobs! And while age discrimination is illegal in the employment screening process…need I say more?

Try A Better Job For Working After Full Retirement Age

What if you could combine all your previous training and experience and:

Stay at home and earn money
Enjoy your house
Enjoy more family time
Travel (and keep earning)
Remain independent of the nine-to-five grind
Create your own work schedule
Learn new skills at your own pace
Help other seniors create a satisfying lifestyle doing what you do
Pick up and go – whenever! – even if you still work everyday

Top Jobs – Retirees Get Started!

You would like to stay at home and be your own boss, right? And work smarter instead of harder. Well you can!

Earning commissions blog writing for money has never been easier. Not that it doesn’t take some skills and some time each day, but the reason I say it is easier is that there is no guessing on your part as to whether your strategy is effective or not.

Within just a few minutes you will see that learning to make money on line is not out of your reach, even if you have no experience working on the internet.

If you have worked in the past

Coaching
Teaching
Training
Credentialing or qualifying others…

…you will love the opportunity to keep helping people improve their lives by discovering how they can start working after full retirement age.

If you have worked in advertising, in any form, you’ll find yourself in high gear to learn the

“But How Will I DO That?”

You will follow a world class training method, a point by point instructional plan for creating your presence on the world wide web. You will learn:

What is WordPress and how to use it
How to work in seo (search engine optimization, or competing effectively for viewers on your web sites)
How to customize your web sites according to your own taste and style without abandoning what works
How to b.u.i.l.d. a business that will continue to generate income
And exactly how you tailor your websites to attract buyers through whom you’ll earn commissions

Using your years of hard won skills and experience to create a happy life in your retirement years is very rewarding.

There are millions of seniors, baby boomers, who are not in the rocking chair on the front porch, the proverbial image of aging gracefully in days gone by. Seventy is the new fifty and many seventy-somethings are earning as well as those in their fifties, at the top of their game.

Life offers no guarantees. You have already proven that you don’t need any – you’ve come so far!

You have already proven that you are the source (on a social/human level) of your own success. You have run the corporate gauntlet, or the single parent gauntlet, or the foreclosed property gauntlet, or the unfair divorce gauntlet.

Real Work At At Home Jobs For The Disabled

June 9, 2020April 10, 2019 by Dee

Online Business For Retirees

If you’re a retired because of a disability and you’re looking for options to earn some income at home, read on about real work at home jobs for the disabled. Avoid the scams! I can show you where to get the best training so you have a clear idea on how it works and how you’ll get a good start (with no start up money needed) in this field.

Disability income from the state barely covers essentials. It allows you to (in the US, and it may vary from state to state):

have one home
have one vehicle
have up to $2000 in your bank account per month, including your disability amount

This is extremely limiting to say the least. A person must have free room and board from family or friends, or they’re on the street.

Tent Cities And Tunnel Dwellers In The US

Just yesterday I viewed a few videos on you tube about tent cities and tunnel dwellers in the US. Thousands of individuals who live this way have disability income, with which they cannot pay for a room, or apartment, and utility bills.

Many have a vehicle, and now they’re living in it. Parked permanently in some off-grid encampment, they cannot afford automobile insurance or maintenance costs.

Locally, the subsidized housing wait list is at over 50,000 applicants.

I see vehicle dwellings parked at the various public libraries, waiting for them to open so the drivers can go in and get on line, or just read all day. For warmth in the winter, cool in the summer heat.

With access to the world wide web, some of them may be working and earning some money on line.

At Home Or At The Library – You Can Earn!

If you’re reading this article on your computer at home you’re ahead of many lifestyle-wise. Yet if you’re starting lower on the ladder, you can still get ahead.

I personally know a lady who has several disabilities and is often in bed for days. Yet she maintains a presence on line by means of her laptop or iPad and she earns a supplemental income to her disability check.

The key to building success in this way is the right training. And, not having to pay a fortune for it.

The best opportunity is a free seven day trial with intensive training in the different aspects of

web site building
blog writing
finding products or services to promote
competing effectively
discount internet services (domain names and hosting)
support for all your questions (FAQ and live chat)
companionship of other beginners and experienced site owners

“So What Is The Actual Job?”

Through the training I recommend, Wealthy Affiliate, you would be writing reviews drawing shoppers to your web site(s). When those shoppers click to vendors such as

Target
Best Buy
Amazon
Walmart
Saks
Nieman Marcus
Home Depot…

…just to name a few out of thousands, you will be paid a commission from their purchase.

There are also affiliate marketplaces that manage the transactions between the affiliate, the vendor and the shopper. These managers provide the affiliate web site owner with links, images and banners so that you don’t have to know any code to make a site look appealing.

“But What Does This Job Really Look Like?”

This self-employment looks like you sitting at your computer, wherever it is. At your work station (mine is usually my couch) and as I’ve seen many writers joke about it “in my jammies”.

This a perfect job for anyone who is confined at home for any reason. Those without physical disabilities but who can’t deal with crowds or the cut-throat corporate life can work on their own at their own pace.

Yet this is a real job, not a hobby. There is a body of professional knowledge involved. The reason why I recommend the Wealthy Affiliate training is because every detail contributing to your financial success is covered.

“But I’ve Never Worked In Sales!”

Affiliate marketing is not sales. You are referring shoppers to a good source of the products they seek. All you have to do is provide information, and with your honest opinion and personal passion about a product, you will engage with a reader and inspire them to follow your advice.

It is work! It is a business. And like any business it will get easier as your site(s) gain traction and become fulfilling financially.

Focus On Your Favorite Things

What do you love?

Fishing
Golf
Shoes
Jewelry
Antiques
Art
Books
Electronics
Silk carpets
Toys
Model trains
Nutrition

Make your own list! And click over to my page Getting Started so you can see how jobs for the disabled at home can be created, tailor made for you, by you.

A Real Story About My Disabled Friend

One of my best friends, John, is a disabled 78 year old Marine Corp Vet. He came upon hard times and lived in a camper for a year, on my street. He has disability income and medical insurance, but not enough money to rent even a room.

Over the past year I and a few friends pulled our resources together and now he is living in a small house in a country town. Life is less expensive there, as opposed to the typical coastal city with its high prices on everything.

At first he felt overwhelmed going away from “everything”. He has favorite markets and places, like we all do. But how does he really get “everything”? He shops on line!

(The photo was taken at my friend Bodiemor’s house, one of the ladies who helped John get relocated. He is a dog magnet.)

My point being that many people shop on line now, even for their local groceries. Almost anything can be delivered to your door. And it is a real job, to help people shop on line and get paid!

Here is a picture of Gail, the lady who found his home in the country town and is helping him stay in it.

We’re dog lovers all, and run with wolves (that’s a real one!)if we can.

John now has some options for supplementing his income. If he chooses, he can take the Wealthy Affiliate opportunity to sort out the scams from the real work at home jobs for the disabled.

You Can Help Others

Your job as an affiliate simply makes it easier for people to shop, and you get paid for it. You can provide information about the best products and deals, saving your readers time and money.

You can share this training with other disabled persons and in turn they can improve their lives as well.

I hope I’ve explained this well. My purpose is to give you a jump start on how blog writing for money works. Click on that link and sign on for more details!

I also hope that I’ve kindled your optimism and vision for your future as you’d like to experience it.

Earn Money At Home Online With No Delusions

May 11, 2019April 5, 2019 by Dee

I just did a search online with the above title and similar phrases. Taking the first ten results, I can categorize most of them in the “delusions” list.

Wouldn’t you prefer to earn money at home online with realistic expectations?

Earn Money At Home Online With – What Exactly?

The first result tells us as a number one of fifty, “start a blog or online business”. Sure just go do that. His further instructions are useful and not at all deceptive. He advises you to click over Bluehost and it will cost you only $2.95 a month to have a blog there. This is called hosting.

That is a great price. He further instructs with screen shots, how to get to the control panel and install WordPress.

Huh – whaaa? If you are beginner, this is difficult. Not that you can’t figure it out, but there are easier ways.

CLICK HERE to build a blog with no control panel and no installing anything. You will still get WordPress.

That’s easier, isn’t it?

CLICK HERE to learn about WordPress, which is a management system for writing web sites.

The link above takes you to a blog building system with two crucial features:

The WordPress platform is further automated in several ways to start you fast
The style of blog you will build is designed for a business blog to help you earn money at home

You now have a week to start professional training and create your blog, no money asked for.

No payment method asked for!

Notice Your Dream Ideas – Their Value

Have you ever done two or more weeks of the following:

Travel overseas
Camping
Barge tour
River cruise
Ocean cruise
RV tour

And, when it’s time to go home you thought

“I wish I could do that and somehow incorporate it into my job!”

The good news is that you can! Writing about things you love, in a specific way, can result in income.

If you were to click on the “click here to build a blog” link above, you would have to simply give a name and email address to begin. No credit card or payment method is required.

You will be instructed to pick a niche, or narrow topic of interest that you might promote to others.

Then you will pick a domain name like “myfavoritetopic” for what will become a dot com registered name, that shows on the internet.

You will be shown how to put up a couple of legally required pages, and be given a template for them. All written for you, and you will insert your blog name where appropriate.

Your hand will be held all the way through this, with videos, and much Q&A in the discussions you can access.

Dream Ideas On A Solid Foundation

Firstly, how could you ever manifest an income earning “vacation life” as in the day dreaming above?

Could you write about travel and make a commission on sales of items people need to travel?

CLICK HERE to see this carry on backpack.

CLICK to check this out- a rolling backpack carry-on.!

Could you write about camping and make commissions on sales of

Gotta have one of these camping canopies! Click to see.

Buy a camping table now!

Wow – a rooftop light weight cargo bag! I need one!

Those links go to Amazon and are called affiliate links.

That means that if a reader buys from there, I get a commission (or you will, on your blog). More details are outlined in my article How To Learn Online Marketing For Seniors.

I won’t repeat it all here. And more, you don’t even need to know any of that when you start a blog. You will be walked through every step in its proper sequence, and you have seven days to devote to this, with no financial investment.

One important step is to fill out your profile. You will make some good buddies in this community. They will help you make the best use of your free trial period when you have questions.

Other Common Suggestions For Making Money Online

Filling out surveys is a big one. You can do that eight hours a day and earn $5.00 Amazon gift cards, or other coupon type things. That will never grow to be an income where you won’t have to worry about paying the bills.

You are interested in earning a living online, right?

Not in just making a couple of hundred dollars/Euros/Pounds a month.

As a senior needing more money in retirement, you won’t qualify for most of these surveys. They are designed for people who are building or restoring households with large consumer goods. Qualifying for surveys takes more time than most of the surveys.

There are good suggestions on this list of fifty, and the best ones require technical know how, certain educational levels, writing experience (and talent) and virtual administrative skills.

Those may be good ones for you. You will be a freelancer, and will have to promote yourself and find your own jobs. Check out my article How To Make A Living On Fiverr.

This web site is all about how to make a good blog.

The focus of the blog training I recommended with the “click here” link is a business focus. The building steps are deliberately selected so you can develop your site in a friendly and welcoming manner, yet lead to income.

Those are the blogs you prefer, right? Informative, but friendly and accessible?

Make Work Fun

If you haven’t reached retirement age with $1.5 million in savings, you are going to be working.

Whether you’re over 60 now, or younger, it is a good time to plan how you will earn money. If you really love your nine to five job you can just keep going until “something happens”

Often jobs end without warning. A business gets sold and moved to another location. The management decides to get rid of everyone and hire younger people for half the pay.

Blogging is work and requires consistency and time management. It can be fun! Here is a little history about blogging.

You are your own boss however, and you can adjust your schedule to what is comfortable for you. You can play the music you like while working. You can take a break and go run the dog.

You can RV around the country and keep working. You can blog on a train!

You can re-design your life according to your own interests and health needs.

Doesn’t that smell like freedom?

Retirement Money Needed!

June 9, 2020April 5, 2019 by Dee

Retirement Money Needed?

Is more retirement money needed in your future than you expect you will have? Are you working after full retirement age? Or realize that when you reach that year, you will have to?

This article is about learning a different way to supplement a retirement income. This entire website promotes training for a work at home job.(click there if you want to see the opportunity now)

Retirement planners say that you must have ten or more times your current annual expenses saved up.

They say “expenses”, not income, because most people have become accustomed to spending more than they make. Many people are comfortable paying out $300.00 to $500.00 a month to credit cards, and these debts are part of the necessary budget.

Ideally, you want to pay those debts off before you retire.

“The less money you have, the more you need it”. – Suzie Orman, financial advisor.

Professional Dress Code Attire – Keeping Up

In business, we are pressured to spend more than we should. The professional image is important, and many will emulate the way the boss dresses, feel pressed to buy a new car, or sport expensive accessories – all to stand out from the crowd.

I can recall my first job review, way back when I was twenty one years old. There were no complaints about my professional work. The main complaint from my employer was about my clothes.

I was shocked! I dressed neatly and appropriately on the job. The special clothing I wore while working, was not provided by the company, and was not tax deductible.

The only way I could up my game was to stop saving and use credit. This was just at the time that incomes stopped rising for almost everyone. And I mean, stopped rising through to the present.

We went from an income economy to a debt economy.

Millions who worked within better financial climates “lost it all” anyway in the “Too Big To Fail” fiascos.

Here we all are, with retirement money needed!

Working After Full Retirement Age

Our cultures thrive on consumerism, driven by advertising. The right clothes, the right cars, the glamor schools, and the inevitable debts.

If you are over 50, and still in your best job, and still advancing in it, I hope you can save now. Yet unlike a twenty-five year old who can start putting $100.00 a month into a Roth IRA for the next forty years (ending up with about a million dollars, theoretically), you have fifteen years to save 1.5 million. Run!

How many of us thought we would end up working after retirement age? After many conversations and much search I can conclude that most folks want to – drumroll!…

…Work At Home After Retirement

Indeed, if you must work, wouldn’t you prefer to:

Avoid going to a job
Save on gas and time and car wear
Work during the hours you select each and every day
Spend more time with your spouse/friends/pets/no one
Visit your grandkids – whenever!
Enjoy the home you’ve invested so much in
Earn some extra retirement income even while taking a trip you’ve always wanted?
I repeat, work from home?

“Work from home” has become such a bad word! A cringe worthy phrase! They are all scams right?

Unless maybe you can learn to blog (meaning a write on a small and somewhat personal web

have to work after retirement? — source.

site) and share your experience from previous jobs, or hobbies?

And if you could do that blog writing on a couple of free giveaway web sites? As in, a real site that will appear on the world wide web and convey your valuable thoughts and feelings about something? And, make you money?

I would like to help you find a way to enjoy your retirement, your home, your time, and your loved ones. If you need more money in retirement, I can show you where to get training for a work at home job.

In my recent post “Retirement Income – US” I mentioned a talk show host, not a stupid guy by any means, who modeled “a good life” on a family of four, with two parents each bringing home about $45,000.00 a year. That made me gasp! That would not make a good life for four people in my state. Nor would those parents be saving anything to retire on.

Yet, this is the “typical” scenario.

I truly feel that The Wealthy Affiliate training and support web site can help you if retirement money is needed. This instructional community, will show you how to learn to benefit from your life experience and knowledge.
