Making Money Online For Retirees
Making money online is the dream of an awful lot of people especially in these times of recession and it is not, despite all the hype to the contrary, easy.
It is even harder for silverbirds and people who have retired on fixed incomes who are seeing everything rising in cost while their income remains the same but losing its buying power on a daily basis. Believe me I know I am experiencing it myself
.
Please bear in mind if you are looking for a get rich making money scheme online or some quick fix to work at home, you will not find it here nor will you find one on the internet.
You will see many screaming headlines proclaiming to make you a millionaire overnight.
Take it from me they don't work and Yes I have tried them myself to my disgust and to the detriment of my pocketbook.
If, however you must go take a look be my guest go ahead and waste your money then come back here and do some work for a few months and start to move towards your dream.
So how hard is it really?
Well, when I first started out it seemed a daunting task. So it turned out but, it is doable with the right mindset.
Make no mistake it does involve a lot of work to do it properly but, the end result is a business, I will repeat that word a business, that will give you an income for life that you can currently only dream of.
Understand that the internet is populated by all sorts of people including retirees.
After all to be retired does not mean we have given up on our dreams or aspirations it is not pleasant trying to subsist on social security or pension payments.
Now, before anybody tells me I should go get a job I will answer that if it were not for the fact that I am penalised for so doing I would tomorrow gladly.
However, for me personally to go to work would mean to replace my meagre pension I would need to earn in excess of £400 a week to replace all the benefits.
Unfortunately the bottom line is that I cannot buy groceries with rent payments and no local taxes.
It has to be remembered that every retiree has during their working life made their contributions to the local and national economy. Also they have like me made contributions from their earnings on a weekly or monthly basis to ensure they had a pension. So, therefore not only have they earned their pensions, they have paid for them with their weekly contributions during their working life
There is an awful lot of information available for free on the internet. The problem is finding it can be time consuming and in the end you may not find what you want but, you will certainly find a lot of screaming sales pages trying to attract your attention and your cash.
You will by now no doubt have heard of Web2.0. If you have not it merely means that the users of the Internet have in effect taken over. Forums, message boards, membership sites, are all forms of Web 2.0.
Basically it means you can source information through various different sources and you can get user experience information before purchasing anything. This is by far a better way of finding your information.
