Ways to make money after retirement
Tags: Retirement Planning, Money Making Ideas, Make Money, Make Money Online, Retirement

Some of you would like to either increase your retirement nest egg or simply spend some of your free time in a lucrative way. Some will look for part-time jobs for seniors at local businesses. Others want ways to supplement their retirement income directly from home. We’ve searched online for some great ways to earn money in retirement. There is no particular order. See if you can find one that works for you!

1. Sign up with a temporary employment agency

A lady told us that she recently worked for her local recruiting firm specializing in accounting. A few weeks later, she was placed in a part-time job, working two days a week. “I felt a bit bored gardening and walking the dog,” she said. “This part-time assignment suits me perfectly.”

The wonder of working in a staffing agency is that you let them know when you are available. Some of you may only want to work for a short time or complete duties on vacation. Others may want longer term assignments that provide stable additional income. Sign up with multiple companies and let staffing professionals find the best match for your goals.

2. Local Support During Vacation

Many people without pets still hire sitters to look after their belongings while they are away. You bring the mail, take care of the yard, water the plants, maybe feed the goldfish, etc. Your client can go on vacation without worry because you take care of their home.

3. Writing for Others

Some of you enjoy reading and writing. Did you know you can get paid to write for others? Many businesses need help creating content for their websites or magazines. Check out sites like https://www.upwork.com/ where companies post jobs. Apply for the ones you really like and would be fun. You can write individually or search for companies that need regular writers to produce articles twice a month.

4. Becoming a Substitute Teacher

Schools are often short of qualified substitute teachers, so some schools no longer even ask you for a teaching certificate. Check and see what your local schools requires. If the qualifications are higher than the job you want to do, you might consider being a teaching staff assistant, helping with marking documents, setting up materials, and helping with overall classroom control.

5. Apply to be a Library Assistant

Here is a job similar to the one above, but with less demand for creativity. People who love books (myself included) love to be around them. If you like books, this is an easy choice. The hours are reasonable and the work is light.

6. Become a virtual assistant

Do you have great secretarial or administrative skills? You might be super quick at entering data or have good research skills. Companies around the world are now recruiting virtual assistants for both short and long term projects that use these skills. Register with a service like https://remote.co/remote-jobs/virtual-assistant/

7. Secret/Mystery Shopping

Shopping Could Secret Shopping Be The Perfect Way To Make Money In Retirement?

Recently, my niece, a young student in need of resources, was doing mystery shopping for two different organizations. She had been paid to eat at McDonald’s. She spent less than 20 minutes on it and had two free meals. For a young adult living on ramen noodles this was awesome. While this one doesn’t always create a ton of extra income, there are perks for some Secret Client missions and the choice of missions is more important than ever. You can even test drive cars as a secret customer. Find the missions that suit you in mystery client companies such as https://www.marketforce.com/become-a-mystery-shopper

8. Become a Driver

Getting paid to drive is easier than ever with companies like Uber, Ola or Lyft. You have the flexibility to choose when you work to be very flexible for your schedule. I’ve noticed that some drivers really go out of their way to earn tips, offering pristine vehicles, bottled water or little packets of goodies and good conversations. It also works, as I always tip a clean car and a friendly driver more and more.

9. Cooking for Busy Neighbors

Do you know a busy professional who barely has time to breathe working outside of work? These people rarely have time to cook. Offer your services by providing a fixed number of meals each week. It helps to make a list of dishes you can offer that include nutritional information.

10. Become a Personal Assistant

These same busy people often don’t have time to shop either. You can do errands for them like dry cleaning or delivering the dogs to the groomer. Think about errands that would benefit the busy people you know and offer your services for hire.

Selling Your Knowledge

Some websites give you the opportunity to sell what you know. Sign up as a salesperson and start teaching others how to cook, sew, garden, play an instrument, put on makeup, dress for success, or whatever talent you have to offer.

11. Become a convention representative

If you live in a large city, there is almost always a convention center or visitors’ office. These venues are often huge and workers are needed for every big convention that takes place in town. When I went to a car convention last winter, there were smiling parking attendants, cashiers selling tickets, workers handing out bags, workers heading to washrooms or concession stands, the Most dynamic retirees. Contact your local visitor’s office to find out if they need assistance.

12. Register to be a Poll Worker

Every city and province has elections. These events require assistants of all kinds. The hours can sometimes be long, but the work is light and temporary. Get in touch with your local electoral council and find out how you can help.

13. Use your musical talents

So many artists and musicians spend their lives working in jobs that pay the bills. Now that you’re retired, why not get paid to use your musical talent? Check with local temples/churches to see if they need a band member or pianists. Elderly centers sometimes hire music directors. Are you a harpist or a solo singer? There are a lot of brides out there looking for you! Ask a friend or family member to help you create a simple two-page website and hand out business cards to everyone you know, asking them to spread the word.
