My Retirement Online

I am excited you’ve decided to explore the idea of starting “My Retirement Online Business”.

No more frustrating job interviews where your age works against you. Instead, you’ll use your qualifications and skills to start a career that you control.

An online business solves many problems older generations face today. Sure, we’re called baby boomers, active agers, and all sorts of other terms. But regardless, I know you have important questions and concerns in your new chapter of life. Like…

 

  • How will I supplement my income?
  • Will I have to give up the mobility I was looking forward to if I take a job?
  • Are there legitimate ways to make money that I could do using my knowledge, skills, and experience?
  • How will I keep my mind active?
  • What am I going to do with all that time?
  • I’m retired, bored, and miss my colleagues!

Has anyone in your family ever told you that your life is “history”? Even if you are not that old the youngsters nowadays think otherwise 😉 with our experience of having lived through an economic depression, or even the “Swinging Sixties” is history for them!!!

 

For the present: 

Go through your pictures and write down your story. It’s your legacy to your children and grandchildren, and more generations to come. 

 

Retirement ideas in the future:

Now you can turn your memories into a book. If a book feels like too much, consider smaller steps.  Here is an article on how to publish an eBook

 

If the idea of writing an eBook does not appeal to you but you enjoy writing, here is another idea for you:  Try Upwork. 

 

What is Upwork?

 

Upwork is a global freelancing platform where businesses and independent professionals connect and collaborate remotely.

2.  Earn Extra Income From Language

 

Do you speak a language other than English? 

 

Did you know you can make money from teaching or tutoring a language online? 

Tutoring, as opposed to teaching, generally involves simple one-to-one conversational learning. It requires few qualifications and can be done online via a video conferencing platform like Skype or Zoom, both of which have free plans. 

 


 

 

If you have skills other than languages, you can do the same thing as well. There are a lot of international students in need of mentoring in specific subjects. They are looking for online tutors. You don’t necessarily need a degree for that, all you need is your knowledge in that specific subject.

Use your skills and get paid to help others. Simple right?
