At Home Ways Seniors Can Make Extra Money
1. Become a POSP
for Insurance
Senior citizens can earn money by becoming POSPs, or
Point of Salespersons. A POSP is an insurance agent who works for an insurance
company and sells insurance policies. All they need is a natural ability to
sell, a smartphone, and a reliable internet connection. A Live-in Caregiver can facilitate the senior to become an insurance POSP
by registering them with an insurance provider.
2. Provide
Tutoring Services
If a senior is an expert in a particular field or has
recently retired from a particular profession, they can easily become a tutor
for students studying these subjects. The elderly can teach a variety of
subjects, including English, math, science, and history, as well as music and
crafts. The live-in caregiver can help advertise the tutoring session and set
up the house for sessions. The live-in caregiver can help in buying stationery
as well.
3. Serve as a
consultant to professionals and businesses
If the elderly have extensive work experience or a
background in business or other sectors, they can sell their expertise as a
consultant to professionals and businesses. Retired professionals in
healthcare, business, information technology, and other fields can find clients
online through sites such as Upwork, LinkedIn, and others. A live-in caregiver
can help set up accounts on these professional sites.
4. Establish a
Food Delivery Business
Senior citizens who enjoy cooking or baking can earn
money from home by starting a food delivery service. They can sell anything
from daily packaged meals to baked goods, individual dishes, and even party
catering.
Seniors can sell food via food delivery platforms or a
live-in caregiver can connect with the friends and family of the elderly on
Facebook or WhatsApp and help sell the products directly to them via a delivery
service.
5. Market Your
Handmade Goods
Another easy way for Senior Citizens to earn money from home is to use their sewing, art,
and crafting skills to create products to sell online. This category includes
artwork, quilts, scented candles, wall hangings, table mats, and other
decorative items.
A live-in caregiver can facilitate by increasing their
chances of selling homemade goods by utilizing sites such as Etsy, Facebook
Marketplace, Amazon, and eBay. Alternatively, they can use social media
platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to advertise the seniors products and
attract customers.
