Courtesy of MarketWatch.com, here are five jobs retirees and seniors can do from their own homes:
1. Direct Selling- This means selling products directly to the end users, or consumers, and it can be anything from hardware to household goods.
2. Selling on the Internet- A growing number of people are selling products online through websites like Amazon or ebay, either by selling their own unused items, or buying and selling at a profit.
3. Tutoring- With age comes wisdom, so one option is to become a tutor and offer expertise and training in subjects ranging from math to English to music.
4. Writing- Whether it’s freelance writing, or selling poems or short stories, look online to see whether there is anyone interested in purchasing your existing work, or hiring you for a new project.
5. Start a business- There can be a lot of work involved in starting a new business, but if you’re looking for a new project, this might be right for you.
