To make money online, you could look into starting a blog, becoming a freelance writer, or doing something else entirely; plenty of options are available.

The Key to Business Success

The key to success in any business is choosing the right product or service to offer and then finding the right market for that product or service.

And online businesses are no different. You need to find a niche market willing to pay for your offering and create a product or service that meets their needs.

Finding Your Niche

For starting an online business, I recommend choosing a niche market you’re passionate about, especially for retirees.

This could be anything from gardening, health, online gaming, or some of your favorite recipes.

Once you’ve chosen your niche, it’s time to start thinking about what products or services you can offer that will appeal to this market.

However, in today’s world, internet marketing is an essential part of the success of any business, particularly online.

The objective is to effectively reach your target market and promote your products or services.

There are several ways to reach your target market, and you must decide which ones are right for you and your business.

Social media has become an essential part of online marketing; This is a great way to connect with potential and current customers and help you build brand awareness and generate leads.

There are several social media platforms, so choosing the most relevant ones for your business is essential.

Once you understand, online marketing can be a great way to reach a broad audience and generate sales.

Why Should You Start a Business in Your Retirement?

I am a retiree in my mid-70s, and I don’t think I would survive without my online business, not just for the monetary aspect but so much more.

There are several reasons why you should start a business in your retirement years, including the following:

  • It can help keep you active and engaged.
  • You can set your schedule and work at your own pace
  • You have more freedom and control over your life now than ever before
  • It can provide some extra income during your retirement years
  • It can give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment during your retirement years.
  • You can use your skills and knowledge to make money
  • You can be your boss
  • You can choose to work from home
  • It can help you stay connected with the community.

I know the thought of starting your online business seems daunting, especially if you are like me, have no experience,

What is affiliate marketing, and why affiliate marketing, you ask?

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the best business models to make money online, and you can start for free.

I have written a post about the many ways to make a living online ( you can read it here.) What is affiliate marketing, and why affiliate marketing, you ask?

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a company compensates third-party publishers to generate traffic or leads to the company’s products and services.

The third-party publishers are affiliates, and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the company.

Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-quick endeavor; it will take some work and patience, but you can do it.

What Are The Benefits Of Affiliate Marketing?

The benefits are many, but I will list a few:

  • No huge startup costs!
  • No selling face-to-face!
  • No stock to keep or manage!
  • No recruitment is involved!
  • No taking of endless surveys!
  • No vast investment involved – (Get started for FREE)
  • And no working for someone else!
  • You can operate in any market you wish! – even your hobbies & passions!
  • Earn a full-time income & more! No limit to your earning potential!

Find Your  Niche

Create an Online Business for Free—Making Money on Line

Can you make money online?

Maybe you are like me, who wondered if you could own your own profitable online business; well, let me tell you that the answer is positive.

You can do many things online, some of which I have mentioned in a previous post. With some, it is possible to earn a good passive income.

Joining A MLM? be Careful

I know some of us to think that joining an MLM company and selling things and getting people to participate with you seems effortless and an excellent way to earn some money, but as research has shown, this is not so.

It may be possible, but it is unlikely; unfortunately, 97% of all people who joined an MLM company have lost money; in other words, out of 1,000 persons who became a part of an MLM team, only three will ever earn any money.

This method of earning is simple enough that anyone can do it, but it has also shown that only 1 in 333 persons will be successful; it is challenging to see a profit in this business.

I was a member of Herbalife and Melaleuca for several years, never making 1 cent. I kept buying the products for myself because I liked them, especially Melaleuca, but I could not make a success of it.   

Melaleuca Products

With Melaleuca, The products are made from all-natural ingredients, which I loved but were expensive.

Melaleuca describes their compensation plan as an ‘opportunity for the average person to start a business with virtually no risk and unlimited upside potential.

 They then say it’s a system where people with no financial investment’ can improve their finances. All they have to do is refer customers to Melaleuca.

When joining Melaleuca, you are signed up as a customer, not as a distributor like other MLM; you then have the opportunity to refer others and build a business

. In Melaleuca, there is no difference between customers and members; the plan says that you’ll never have to sell products because ‘all products are sold directly by Melaleuca.’ this is correct only to a point

.While It is true that customers will place orders directly with Melaleuca. And there is no need for you to process orders or deliver products. But you still must find people to sign up as customers and buy the products.

Cost to remain Active.

To remain active in Melaleuca, you have to order a total of 29  product points for every month and try as I may, I could not get 29 points to value less than  $60-$70.00so every month, I had to be spending at least $60.00

It is noted that 66% of customers earned $0.00 in 2016; they only joined because they liked the products and not because they wanted a business.

I joined because I wanted a business. I liked the products too, but my main reason for joining was to start a business.

It is tough to get people to join because the price of the goods is very high compared to other brands sold in the store, and they can order just what they want without having to order products to meet the 29 points.

You can start your own online business without the risk of losing money; there is a tried and true way first; combine one of your ideas/hobbies/skills to find something you care about and figure out how to use it to solve another person’s problem.

Here’s what to do: Create a simple website. You don’t need any web or tech skills to make this happen.

Affiliate Marketing

Wealthy Affiliate provides training on identifying your niche or the topic you will build your website. And they also offer the tools, techniques, and information to assist you in developing your idea.

Wealthy Affiliate will assist you in this for free and walk you through the steps of using social media to advertise your blog.

After you have decided on your niche, it is time to build your website, which will be your business’s foundation.

Your website is an essential step in everything you do; all your content, traffic rankings, and revenue will be generated through your website.   

And do not think you have to be an expert in any subject because what you will find is you start researching the topic of your niche, you will gain knowledge, and you will become an expert in the issue you have chosen.

At Wealthy Affiliate, you are taught how o draw traffic to your website; this is a significant step because traffic will succeed your website. And please remember, like any other business, it will take time.

Monetize Your Website

Then you will be taught how to monetize your website to make money. You will be introduced to affiliate programs like amazon, share a sales PPC, etc.

I am not suggesting you will make money overnight, but you can generate a passive income in time. As I mentioned before, you can join Wealthy Affiliate for free there is no time limit for how long you can enjoy your free membership, but I suggest you upgrade to premium.

With a premium membership comes more information and tools; maybe you can do what I did. I joined for free for about a month; I created my website, looked around for a bit, liked what I saw then upgraded to premium. I am enjoying the learning process.

I knew nothing about online marketing, but I am learning. I have been a member since April 2018. I have not reached my goals yet, but I am on my way; as I said, this is not a get-rich-quick scheme; it takes work, diligence, and effort.
