For those of you who prefer to read about what internet marketing is like for seniors, I have a transcript of the post below the video.
If you are motivated, Internet marketing can be a dream come true for seniors. Most of us have spent years in the workplace, having a boss and a set time to arrive, have lunch, breaks and leave. Now we senior citizens can finally build our own businesses and be free to come and go at will.
The internet has made it possible to put as much time and effort into an online business as you like to create a business that provides a supplement to pensions or social security checks.
As with any worthwhile endeavour, what you get out of it depends to a large extent on what you put into it. Many senior citizens are surprised at how much money they can make – and it’s transformed the way they live their retirement years.
Having your own online business can allow you to take time off to spend time traveling or simply enjoying visits from your grandchildren. You can work from 9 until noon or from midnight until 5 am. It’s up to you.
Yes, you do have to work but it can be from home or you can even work while you’re traveling. Take your laptop wherever there’s internet service and instantly plug in to your business. Think about how different having an online business is compared to your old j-o-b.
No more getting home late for dinner, no long drawn out boring meetings. Internet marketing gives you the chance to change all of that for the better.
You must be self-motivated and make the time and effort to learn all you can about internet marketing. You’ll also need to choose a niche (subject) that’s within your area of expertise or interest.
Creating a travel blog is popular among seniors because they can work on the go. They can share their experiences and monetize their blogs to make extra money. If you have always wanted to travel and explore the country or even the world, but never had the means or time, internet marketing can pave the way.
Keep in mind that despite what you will here some people say, don’t think you can create a site or blog and begin making money right away. It does take some time and effort if you want your business to thrive and grow. But don’t be discouraged – the rewards are many and can take much of the stress away from making ends meet or providing all those extras to your grandkids.
When you are looking for someone to follow online as you get started, try to find the good ones ones and mimic their success. It may take a small amount of money to invest in learning how to best set up your online business, but it’s well worth the cost. Ignore any offers that say you can earn lots of money with the click of a mouse. The only one who earns money from those offers are the ones offering them, not the ones that buy them.
If you’re still working at a regular job, you can plan for retirement now by creating an online business in your spare time. It will be up and running and making money for you by the time you retire.
Starting your own online business as a senior can help make the rest of your life interesting and make the worries of retirement income a thing of the past. One of the business models you should consider is affiliate marketing. If you choose that method, make sure you learn the best way to proceed.
