Working from home has many advantages for all types of people. I read an article the other day about how the elderly are getting in to making money from home because so many of them have lost their retirement funds when the market crashed. The elderly are very fortuitous to be living in an age where they have an opportunity to make money when their bodies are worn out. The saddest part of the situation to me is that the elderly are the smartest folks in our society. They have sharp minds and capability to work, but their bodies just can't do what they used to.
Anyone that has spent a significant amount of time around the elderly knows how strapped they are for money, how bored they are and how much they worry. I think it's wonderful that the elderly are learning how to use computers to make enough money to pay their bills, buy their medications, give their grandkids birthday and Christmas money and ease their stress. It makes me want to high five all the old folks who are smart enough and creative enough to kick butt making money.
As I've mentioned before in this series, when my daughter was born I was a single mom. I was struggling hard to make ends meet and finally found a way to make money at home taking online surveys. It isn't easy to take care of a child alone and work from home, but it can be done. Because I did online surveys for money I stayed off of welfare and managed to go to college. Now it's my turn to help others that are in the same situation I was once in. Surveys aren't the only way to work from home, but they're easy, even when you're distracted. A good place to find legitimate paid surveys is at http://www.getpaidtotry.com/. You can get paid to read emails through them too. Now it's time to mention other ways to make money from home.
1) If you've got graphic design skills you can do tons of different projects. One good one is to create clip art. Clip art is used in everything from letter heads to power point presentations.
2) If you love to read, there are companies you can find through bidding sites like oDesk, Elance, etc. that pay people to dig, stumble, etc articles. Some even pay for sharing these stories on Facebook.
3) Speaking of Facebook, some companies will pay you to find Facebook friends. The world of social networking is huge, and companies are coming up with new ways to use Facebook and other networking sites to advertize. If you can find the opportunity to do a job like this, stick with it. The market is going to boom.
