As we grow older, I think most of us are in the position where our retirement has become a time when our income and savings are not adequately meeting our daily needs.
Some of us are driven to the point where a decision has to be made, whether to buy food or medication; the thought of taking a vacation is entirely out of the picture. to find a job if you’re already retired at age 65-75 and beyond is not easy; I know the situation quite well as I was there myself.
The thought of going to a 9-5 job, traveling through traffic is not at all appealing; but thanks to the internet, it is possible to find online income opportunities for us seniors; I found a few myself until I found the one I am currently settled in affiliate marketing.
Some of the jobs I have tried myself is customer service, which involves taking calls from customers for a call center company. Still, you will need to upgrade your computer, and if you have a shared wifi system, you will have to get a service for you alone, as usually ethernet is used instead of the internet and a headphone for taking and answering calls.
This job did not work out for me, and I found out that there are some coarse people out there, and my assignment was to get people who wanted to cancel their service to keep it.
Another thing I did was take surveys. In taking surveys, you first have to take a survey for the company to see how they can use you for their benefit.
Then you may have to take several surveys consisting of many different services and or products.
They are trying to find the right fit for you; the most frustrating thing in taking is in the middle of taking a survey; sometimes, 15 minutes into the survey, a banner comes up, and it says you are not qualified to complete this survey.
So, of course, another questionnaire comes up to determine your qualifications for another survey. And the same thing can occur again; it was not for me, and the income from taking surveys was minimal, just change for your purse.
.
This brings me to affiliate marketing; according to Google dictionary, affiliate marketing is a marketing arrangement by which an online retailer pays a commission to an external website for traffic or sales generated from its referrals.
.
To succeed at affiliate marketing, you will have a website and choose what your website is about (your niche), write a blog, and apply to companies that have products about your blog. advertise their products and get a commission whenever something is purchased from you your link
