Work From Home For Seniors

The potential of working from home for seniors is being completely overlooked. So many people retire before they want to because of having reached a certain age. Their minds are as good as ever, their bodies, with modern day science are lasting a lot longer, but the discrimination is still there in the work force.

What we all have to do, is to get out there and show them. How would you like in a couple of years from now to meet the young trendy who helped you on your way to your early retirement and be able to tell him....Well no need be rude, just wave your bank balance and smile.

I have been doing voluntary work in a local computer centre. My experience has been that, the more mature clients are reluctant even frightened to come in and talk about learning the computer. You can not blame them, young kids at school are so proficient and it all looks so difficult you think. WRONG.

I decided to offer a home visit voluntary help plan, where the client worked on their own computer and did not have to brave the teeny boppers. It really worked well. One lady at 78 had just lost her husband of 46 years and was suffering badly with loneliness and depression. Now she has joined a writing club which meets once a month. She types out all her stories on the computer and this year has had a Story and a Poem published. I had found her standing outside the door of the computer center too frightened to come in.

Does this sound like you if so stay tuned?

What I am suggesting and am proving by doing is that there is a world out there waiting to be conquered by you. How do the words, Redundant, Put off, Retired, Old, Pensioner, and etc sound? To you? Do any of these word ring a bell?

As in all business there is an investment, NOW do not switch off, it is not a lot of money and can be paid out gradually. Were you planning to take it with you? Do you want to be leaving all your hard earned saving to little Harry, who no doubt is already making more than you did and living in a better street etc etc.

No of course not. So upwards and onwards first things first.

You need a computer? It does not have to be a new one; I found a beauty for $400 completely set up by a guy who specializes in refurbishing them. You need access to the internet; they do senior rates if you check around. And next you need a quite spot to start.

At this stage if you have never even pushed the On button, sign up for a course for over 50s at a local Adult Education or similar Institution. They are invaluable, you are being given basic tuition by an expert and believe it or not when I went I was the oldest in the class. I also came away with the best mark at the end of the term. Why? Not because I was the brightest, but mainly because I was not there to PLAY and waste my time, and had a lot of life experience. A very much undervalued commodity.

Second part of plan

Now that you can find the On button, how to use the mouse etc and were to find the spell check you can start.

By the way at this point all the previous input should have been Fun Yes FUN, No point in doing something you are not enjoying. Go away now and find something else.

But for the ones, who want to make some money, love the computer and like keeping there mind in top gear lets proceed.

Do not worry if you can not type .Absolutely not needed. I just type away make lots of mistakes and then go to the top tool bar and find spell check. This does all the work for you at half the time of checking it yourself.

You are now ready to start your exciting journey of Internet Home Marketing. I am not offering a gold mine at the end of the week, it takes time and effort but it is so interesting. If you are like me, you will not be able to wait to get up in the morning and check on all the information that has arrived while you were asleep. Check in next week for the next Blog.
