Making Business More Personal |
Retired folks often suddenly find themselves with a lot of time on their hands, and less income than they expected. Many of them will not be able to find another job, as employers are reluctant to provide health benefits to older workers who are more likely to actually have health issues.
How are you supposed to get by? One way to make money that is often overlooked is blogging. What is the first thing you think of when I say the word "blogging?" There are MILLIONS, maybe even billions of blogs these days, and they exist for a variety of reasons. People who think about bloggers at all often think of writers of personal blogs that rant and rave about all kinds of topics, "Blogs" that turn out to be an extended ad for some kind of weight loss product, or perhaps "mommy bloggers," a category of writers who are either celebrated or derided, depending on whom you ask and how much they know about blogging. But most sites that provide lots of content these days are a type of "blog" - think major news sites, or individual television and radio station sites. Either the whole site, or a part of it, is probably a blog.

But many people are reasoning that they would rather start a home business than work all day for minimum wage. For the work-at-homeschool mom, or any stay at home mom caring for small children, working outside the home is out of the question. But the pressure of trying to live on one income in these challenging times could drive her to explore setting up a home business. That's why I did it, and the times are even more challenging for young families financially than they were 15-20 years ago.
However, a home business is not just like setting up a lemonade stand on the front porch, which is now such a hassle anyway because of burdensome state regulations, newly enforced by officials with too much time on their hands. A regular home business takes work: hard work, and lots of it. If you are serious on starting a business at home, there are certain skills you need to master for the successful operation of your business. UPDATE: January 2017 I'm still in SFI, it will be 16 years in July.
