Seniors Can Work at Home Online

Posted by Janienne Jennrich May 16, 2008

Hi Seniors and other Folks,

If you want to work from home for a part-time income and you can write well about just about anything or have a special interest, you might be able to build up an income over time.

One good option for senior citizens is to write for Suite 101, right here! At the top of the website pages you will see a link that says "hiring freelance writers." Click on that and read about applying to be a writer. That's how I got my online job here! I started off making pretty low pay, but it builds on itself and depending on how much you want to write, there are few limits to what you can make.

Another thing seniors (or anyone) can do is go to www.squidoo.com. Squidoo is like a giant book. Each page of the book is made by a different person and is about a different subject. It can be a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is fun to make a one page website (which they call a "lens"). I am doing this part-time and so far have only made about $30 a month, but I know it will grow as I make more and more pages and link them to each other. If you are an expert on something or have a hobby or ANYTHING, you can make a Squidoo lens and tell the world about it, in your own way.

In comparison, Suite 101 is a more serious type of writing with more editorial rules. Squidoo is more of a "do what you want" sort of place.

Try one or both if you like creating with words!

Have a good online day!
