What online businesses can elderly women do?

1. Coaching/Consulting
Retirement does not mean you have lost your knowledge and skills just because you have left the workforce. Making money from your work knowledge and experience can be achieved by starting home-based coaching or consulting business. Online conferencing and Skype can provide coaching and consult at home. The business side can be handled from home, and you can visit your coaching/consulting clients at their location or a nearby coffee shop. You can coach individuals or professionals in success strategies, interview skills, or life coaching. A consultant is typically hired to help improve a company’s sales or workplace productivity.
In most cases, this involves visiting the business location, but video conferencing can be an option. An easy way to start is to reach out to a former employer and offer to help. Ask friends or family members for recommendations.
2. Writing/Blogging
Online information and entertainment are two reasons people browse online. Through various monetization options, such as affiliate marketing, you can make money by offering what they’re looking for. People will read your posts if you post interesting stories or excellent information. Have you retired, sold your home, and bought a boat to follow the sun? Your adventures would be interesting to readers. Have you retired as an accountant? Tell us about how you manage money and deal with taxes. Do you enjoy eating? Write about it and share what you know.
Blog topics are endless. It’s possible that you enjoy writing but do not want to deal with starting and marketing a blog. Online media sources and bloggers often pay for articles. You can use the Internet to find freelance author jobs and markets, including freelance job sites, writing resources, and social media. It is common for people to enter retirement to compose a great American novel or a memoir. Traditional publishing continues to be challenging to break into, but self-publishing is affordable and fast and enables you to reach your target market in a short amount of time.
3. Service-Based Business
You can start a business at home with almost any skill you have. The fastest and cheapest way to make money at home is by selling your skills through a service-based business. Virtual support, writing, bookkeeping, landscaping, handyman work, pet care, and many other tasks that people and companies will pay you for can be turned into a business. As with coaching or consulting, you can offer your services to your former employer. Alternatively, you can use your network to find clients.
4. Turn a Hobby into a business.
Fortunately, home businesses can also be developed from hobbies. Are you passionate about gardening? Start a gardening business or sell online courses or books that teach how-to garden tips. Do you like baking? Sell cookies online. Love photography? Sell photos online. You can make a living from a hobby. Are there products or services related to your hobby that you can sell, or are there ways you can teach others how to do the pursuit through live classes (online or off), books, or e-courses?
You can earn money through affiliate marketing and advertising by blogging or launching a podcast. Finding out what aspect of a hobby people will pay for or advertise on is the secret to turning a hobby into income.
