Starting A Home Business After Retirement

After all the productive years we have worked did you ever wish you had done something different, something you were passionate about?

Like starting your own business. Has that ever been your dream. I did! But, it was a very tough business to be in, especially in a small town where I was. I owned a hair salon and day spa for 34 years. With an average of 19 – 20 employees most times. If only affiliate marketing had been around then.

Starting your own business in retirement is easier than ever before, thanks to the internet. Plus, the startup costs are minimal.

Research how to get started with a blog and you can find tons of information. Just don’t be afraid to research and study the different ways to get started. But, in my honest opinion, Wealthy Affiliate is the most comprehensive training and the best bang for your buck. And the best training available. I will be here to help you if you have any questions.

It’s affordable and easy to follow. But, it takes time, it’s not a get rich quick program without any work. There is a lot of work involved but, it’s also a lot of fun.

Don’t believe a program that tells you that you can make x amount of dollars in 2 days or some other pie in the sky promise, it’s not truthful. It does take work and a lot of it. But anything worthwhile takes work.

But, there is money to be made and good money to be made, but you have to start a blog and get plenty of interesting articles written for that blog before you will see any success. So be patient, just get started and don’t give up.

This generation ( the Baby Boomers) have a different slant on retirement than their parents did.

While their parents worked most of their working life for one company and retired with a nice pension, that isn’t so for the baby boomers.

The current retirees don’t have a large retirement or large nest egg due to many extenuating factors, many out of their own control.

But many feel younger and healthier than their parents did at retirement age due to better health care systems and would enjoy working, so many retirees are looking to start their own business. Maybe it’s something they had always dreamed about.

Plus it can be done when it’s convenient for you. No 8 to 5 hours. You can work in the comfort of your home. No hassle with a brick and mortar building. No inventory or worrying about meeting payroll, if you have employees.

Retiring before they are ready

Many retired people have been forced out of their jobs sooner than they were ready to leave and probably could use some supplemental income. I know I would like to add to my retirement as I don’t want to be a burden to my children.

In today’s society, having your own business is very possible, thanks to the internet, with all it’s possibilities.

Find something you love.

Myself, I always loved to cook and bake and would have loved to have had a small restaurant, but that never happened. I did have my own hair salon and day spa for many years, which I also loved, but it did not leave me with a big retirement.

So, I’m planning on creating a website about cooking and baking, relying on many of the recipes that have been handed down to me from my Grandmothers, Aunts and Mother and different recipes that I have developed on my own.

But if you are interested in starting a business, this article will point you in the right direction.

You need to start with a niche, which is nothing more than something you are interested in, like a hobby. It could be cooking, gardening, skiing, coaching little league, knitting, sewing, golfing, electronics, the list is endless. But, don’t be too broad.

Than narrow that niche down even more to something more specific.

Check out Amazon and see how many products are available there. It’s mind boggling.

I just read an article about starting a survival site, in light of the recent corona virus pandemic. I thought that was very interesting and probably very new with not much competition.

I have an article about finding a niche, which might help you if you want to check it out. Plus I have many articles about understanding affiliate marketing.  how there are many different ways to earn money online, but affiliate marketing is the one I’m most familiar with, so please feel free to read any or all of them.

Here is help to point you in the right direction.

I searched for a long time to find something that was honest and worthwhile to help me.

Be careful of all the scams out there. Promising you thousand of dollars with no work. Stay away from that type of program and they are a dime a dozen. You need a very legitimate training program and there are some out there.
