One of the secrets of aging is keeping busy – having something to look forward to for the day – a reason to get up in the morning. The way to do this is as varied as the individuals themselves.
But for some, they enjoy having there own little at-home online business that they can run on their own terms. Not only does it keep them occupied, but it can generate additional money that can be used for many things that they might not otherwise be able to afford. Here are just a few of the business models that seniors are using right now:
- Affiliate Marketing – promoting and selling products other people created
- Membership Site – create a newsletter or ecourse that people subscribe to on a monthly or yearly basis
- Self-publish low-content books – puzzles, mazes, coloring, activity books, planners, or journals for kids and adults alike sell well and are easy to create using either purchased PLR content or generating your own using cloud-based software
- Freelance write for other people – Content creators pay people to create articles, reports, books, emails and other types of content
- Plus many other business model types
I myself as a 70-year old, author and self-publish books on Amazon, Etsy, Lulu and Gumroad. Plus I do freelance writing for clients in addition to writing a weekly article for an online job search company. My monthly books sales and weekly article brings in about $600.00 per month as a steady income. Freelance writing projects run from $500.00 to well over $1,000 per project. While they can be more sporadic, it iws good money when they do come in. My little online writing business brings me in around an additional $12,000 per year on average – money that I otherwise would not have.
Let’s take a look at an excerpt from one of the reports in the series Start an Online Business as a Senior Citizen that explores many of the ways senior citizens are making money from businesses they run out of their home.
===========
Running your own online business as a senior marketer starts by picking the best business model for your niche. There are several choices in online marketing that are suitable for anyone, especially those who want flexibility with their schedule.
These business models can be used to help you achieve the life that you want to live. Your choices can depend on how much you want to earn (and how fast), how much effort and time you’re willing to put into it, and how much (or how little) you want to learn.
One of the best ways to increase your income is to not only implement a single business model, but to have multiple ones to support you. You don’t have to do this immediately, but as time goes on, you can add on another business branch as you see fit.
