It is easy to say Making Money Online For Retirement Purpose is than getting it done.

Making Money Online For Retirement Purpose

I am sure a lot of people must be wondering, and worried whether they can sustain their retirement, especially when they outlive their expected lifespan.

Hence the importance of make money online for retirement purpose.

As I mentioned in my previous posts on retirement, and the need to get prepared for retirement.

One of the most important thing, we need to address - is to have continuous income during our retirement.

People in the oriental part of the World have the culture ingrained from long time ago, is to raise a family so that the sons or daughters will look after them, after they get old and retired.

It was the duties of the sons and daughters to look after the parents, however this type of thinking may not work in the modern world.

So, what can the old folks do, in the event when the children are not able to take care of them?

  • I would suggest the children to teach their parents to be computer savvy, and
  • learn some skills in online business, and
  • start them on the right footing if they do not bother to take care of their parents in the future.

This is the least they can do to show their filial piety gratitude to their parent.

What do you do when you reach retirement age?

It will be good, if those who are reaching retirement age

  • can start learning,
  • how to make some money doing online business, and
  • be financial independent, and
  • Financial free during the retirement.

What Can A Retiree Do In Online Business To Be Financial Free?

There are so many ways a person can achieve financial freedom, especially using the technology available now on internet, so in a way, the retiree nowadays are more fortunate than those who retired, said in the early 1970s

In the 1970s, when there was not internet, and to have passive income, a person might have to engage in some business and made sure the business would bring him good income in his retirement.

In the modern age, with the readily available internet, and the advancement of technology, it is easier for anyone to make a living online, especially for those who want to retire and not to worry about money.

There are so many avenues to make money online, some people have been spending hours online in the social media nowadays, and if they can spend the  times in generating income, it will be better and good for retirement.

Among the most common methods being used are:

1. Setting up a store online selling physical goods/products.

2. Engaging in affiliate marketing earning affiliate commissions.

3. Using internet to do online trading of shares, forex and other financial instrument.

4. Contents creation and proofreading of contents.

5. Provide online training courses using experience and expertise gained before retirement.

What To Avoid When Trying To Do Internet Business Online.

A lot of people may think it is just setting up a website, and that is it, Money will come in to you.

People will eventually fall to prey of those scammers online, who prey on ignorance and naive of people, and I believe there are a lot of people, who have tried internet business but ended up being cheated of their hard-earned money.

Therefore, before you decide to embark on this course of action, it will be better for you to do a bit more research, and look at the reviews of whatever you come across.

Online Stock/share trading

Take for example, you have decided to do online stock trading, using the available software and platform, what do you need to do:

  • I would suggest you really understand the software/platform provider,
  • to be on the safe side, it will be better if you can go along with those platforms
  • provided by the banks or stock brokers
  • whom you may have been using to buy your stock or build up your investment portfolio.

Likewise, if you decide to get involved in forex trading or option, do understand the mechanism of it, and select the right platform for you to perform the necessary work.

There are a lot of people offering courses in how to make money online, and claimed to have ample success in doing so.

What do you encounter usually on enrolling for courses?
  • Most of the time, after you have enrolled in the courses, and
  • attended the courses which is normally conducted over the weekend,
  • you suddenly find out you learn very little from the two days courses, and
  • was informed by the seminar host that if you wanted to learn more,
  • you needed to enroll in the more in depth courses they have available, and
  • you recalled when you attended the briefing,
  • they claimed they would reveal the secrets' method they used to achieve their success
  • if you signed up for the two days courses!!!.

For affiliate marketing, there are quite a lot of affiliates program available, here again we have to really study, and find out which one really can get you good money, some claimed they pay well if you are able to promote their products.

Another business model people will use to make money online which the retirees may want to consider is the publication of e-book, since retirees may have quite a lot of times and rich wealth of experiences, you may want to start writing e book to share your experience on topics you may have encountered.

Sample of ebook 

What if you are not good at writing?
  • You may want to get some ghost writers to write for you,
  • Tell them what topics you want to talk about, and
  • You vet and edit the work produced.
  • Next get a graphic designer
  • He will design your e book cover
  • After that, publish your e book in Amazon or
  • other platform which you think you may have a better audience.

You may want to sell your e book in Amazon Kindle Store,
