Make money from home and live the life you want
To make money from home when going into retirement is something many would like to do. But how to make it happen?
While many people look forward to the carefree days of retirement, many retirees either need more time to be ready to leave their jobs or are forced to do so due to financial responsibilities. Working a regular job after retirement is unappealing to many and challenging to come by for retirees.
Converting all of their professional expertise and experience into a home-based business is a superior option. After a lengthy career, retirees might enjoy more flexibility and freedom with a home business. In an earlier article, the freedom of age gets a bundle of advantages for us retirees.
A business can be run from any location. It can be run part-time to allow for more enjoyment or to care for a sick spouse.
Make Money from Home on Your Terms
With an open mind and willingness to make it happen, many opportunities await you as a retiree. As retired, you would like a more flexible business set up after a long career with a typical 9 to 5, Monday to Friday scheme. You deserve something different, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest.
You want to make money from home, but it should all be on your terms.
The following business opportunities are among my favorites, and you can do it full-time or part-time, all on your terms.
Consulting
Retirement could be a trauma for many. Your professional skills are not needed anymore. But because you’ve retired and stopped working doesn’t imply you’ve lost all of your skills and expertise. Your experience and knowledge are your personal assets, unique for you, and no one can take them away.
Start a home-based coaching or consulting business to profit from your professional talents and expertise. Coaching and consulting can be done entirely from the comfort of your home using web conferencing and Skype.
Alternatively, you can conduct your coaching consulting business from home and visit your clients at their offices or a local coffee shop.
How do you find customers for your consulting business?
It could be as simple as contacting a former employer and offering to help. Your X-employer knows your strengths well, and even though you have retired, your knowledge and skills are still interesting. You can also get references from others in your network.
In the video, further down, I’ll give some new tips on finding customers using the Internet.
Blogging
People use blogs to get information and have fun if you can provide what they’re looking for.
Through a blog, you can make money from home through various monetization tactics, such as affiliate marketing. If you offer helpful information or entertaining anecdotes, people will read it.
When you’re retired, did you sell your house and buy a yacht to follow the sun? People would be curious to learn about your exploits. Do you have experience as a retired accountant? People would be curious to know about your financial planning and tax advice.
A food blog is a great way to express your passion and knowledge about food if you are a delicacy connoisseur. There are no limits to the number of blog topics you can choose from. You may like writing but don’t want to deal with the hassle of starting and marketing a blog. A number of bloggers and online media sources pay for articles.
You can create your own freelance writing business and search for writing jobs. Many retirees dream of writing a great novel or writing a memoir about their lives. While traditional publishing remains challenging to break into, self-publishing is a quick and inexpensive way to get your book out there and might be a profitable way.
Service-based business
Almost any skill can be used to start a home-based business. Selling such abilities through a service-based home business is one of the quickest and least expensive ways to start making money at home. Virtual assistants, bookkeeping, writing, landscaping, handyman services, pet care, and other services that people or businesses will pay for can all be converted into a business.
Like coaching or consulting, you can approach your previous employer and offer services. You could also use your network to find potential clients.
Hobby as a business
Turn a hobby into a business. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with your existing position and do not wish to turn it into a business. Hobby can, fortunately, be transformed into a home business. If you enjoy gardening, start a gardening business. Create and sell how-to garden knowledge. Write a book or start an online course.
Do you enjoy baking? Start a cookie business from the comfort of your own home. Do you like to take pictures? Start a home-based photography business or sell your images online.
Almost every hobby can be turned into a profitable business. Is your passion a product or service you can sell, or can you teach others how to do it through live classes online or offline?
Write a book or create an email course. You can earn money through affiliate marketing by blogging or establishing a podcast. Find out which components of a hobby people will pay for.
E-commerce
After years of working and raising a family, you’re bound to have a lot of things around the house that you don’t want or need. Selling your used and unwanted items on eBay or Craigslist can help you make money. You may start your own eBay store by purchasing things that sell well at flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores.
Amazon is probably the most well-known e-commerce platform, and you can become an affiliate marketer for them and earn a commission on all sales you generate.
The more you dive into the e-commerce segment, the more complicated things seem to be, and that is because of the multiple possibilities to make money from home with an e-commerce business. You should join a community where everything related to e-commerce will be handled professionally. In my community, we have a dedicated team of professionals who only deal with e-commerce. Take a sneak peek and check yourself.
You will be introduced to the entire world of e-commerce – buying and selling physical products on the Internet. With the e-commerce space continuing to flourish, there has never been a better time to get involved and build a successful physical product business.
You’ll also learn how to partner with the number one e-commerce store on the planet…Amazon, to sell your products 24/7 and all around the world.
Affiliate marketing
For anyone new to this fantastic world of online marketing, without any doubt, affiliate marketing is my personal number one on the priority list.
It’s probably the easiest and cheapest way to start making money from home. When joining the same platform, system, and community I’ve been a member of since 2014, you will learn everything worth knowing about affiliate marketing.
In the training, you will learn how to find the highest converting, most profitable affiliate offers you can promote using “Authority Marketing.” You will also discover the power of high-ticket commissions, where you can earn over $1,000 per sale by promoting these exclusive types of offers.

If you started to read this article with an idea about a simple gateway to start making money online and now feel more confused and “lost” than before, don’t worry! It’s a normal reaction, especially for us grown-up adults who weren’t born during the digital revolution.
However, by not telling the truth about this multi-dimensional world, you would probably forget about this online business opportunity. If you can identify yourself with what has been said so far, check this video and get your instructions on how to take the next step.

It’s not a lucky coincidence that retirees or individuals who are about to retire, percentage-wise, is the largest group of people starting an online business. However, the vast group of people who fail is mainly due to a lack of proper training.
As retirees, we have the advantage of not living a life under time pressure. I recommend you take your time and get all the training you need to improve substantially your probability of succeeding as an online marketer.
