RETIREMENT INCOME IDEAS
TO MAKE A GREAT TIME IN LIFE EASIER AND HAPPIER

You probably have extensive experience in your work career. You are very knowledgeable and willing to help others. Entrepreneurs and companies each require certain qualities for positions to help make them successful.  You have those qualities.  Now it is time to share your knowledge and skill set with others who desire to enter that area. Think of the joy you will have as you help someone fulfill their own dream.

Consider who would best be your clients.

Consulting - Most likely, we are talking about working with businesses rather than individuals. Companies my be looking to increase productivity or sales. Providing expert advice on the latest technical areas may be your area.

Coaching - Individuals, rather than companies, would probably those interested in obtaining your services. It could be as a life coach or a specialist, such as an interview coach or productivity coach.

Mentoring - The clients in this business would definitely be individuals, especially as it relates to a career field. The client would want to find people who are experienced and qualified in their field. The mentors want to help others to understand all elements of the the career area in which their clients are interested.

The more that a person knows what to expect in a new career field, the more they can prepare and be successful in addressing at the right time. Career mentoring presents one of the best retirement income ideas, in my view, as it allows a person to:

• Set their own schedule,
• Select their rate to charge a client
• Share knowledge of a subject they know so well
• Enjoy helping others in their life choices
• Earn extra income

Since so many people are considering a change career, the need for career change mentors is increasing.  I suggest you consider becoming a mentor yourself.

The world looks up information using Google and other search engines. To join in supplying great information and entertainment and be successful, you should identify the subject matter that is in demand, but has a limited supply.  In that case, you are more likely to be found during a search.

There are just so many ways in which you can provide information to others.

Were you an accountant or a financial person? If so, people would want to know tips about reducing their taxes and how to improve their financial situation.

If you had an interest in cars and perhaps restored a classic car like I did, you could describe the process with photos and tips for others. Sharing ideas and information brings more traffic and the opportunity for ads and affiliate marketing.

Are you into cooking? There are just so many directions you can go in the world of food. People are always looking for great and unusual recipes. Turn your knowledge into a successful website like Gerhild Fulson of Quick-German-Recipes (Just Like Oma). See how successful she has become.

Is travel your main goal in retirement, but you would like more income as well? You can do it!  Others have done just that. Say you have an RV or a Van and enjoy visiting new locations. You always use your RV or van. Great! Write about it on your website.

You could find all sorts of affiliate relationships to earn income. Add in Google Ads and even sponsorships for RV sites, restaurants, and other related ideas. See how these RVpreneurs did it.

Don’t forget to research to find the prime photo and image suppliers available. It is important that your site images are quality and fit well into your niche. One supplier that I feel offers some of the some of the leading images, photo, and videos available at reasonable prices is Depositphotos . Take a look to see the value they offer.

In fact, any of the business opportunities that I described in Service Based Businesses, Consulting/Coaching/Mentoring, Tutoring, and using your hobby (described below) could be broadened by setting up your own web business.
