Adding Income Now...
I'm back! I took time off for solar and remodeling projects on our off-grid farm and time to finish my Start-Up Guide & Planner, which will be out this June.
With so much uncertainty in the world, inflation, and job insecurity, people constantly ask: How do I start a remote income?
I recently saw this amazing statistic: 70% of people want to be self-employed, yet only 6% actually are (2023 US Bureau of Labor Statistics report).
Here are five low-cost or no-cost businesses that someone 50, 60, or 70+ can start quickly, focusing on remote, reliable, and recurring income:
1. Online Tutoring and Coaching:
With experience and expertise in a particular field, you can offer online tutoring or coaching services. Whether it's academic subjects, language learning, music lessons, quilting, model trains, or professional coaching (e.g., career coaching, life coaching), platforms like Zoom or Meet make it easy to connect with students or clients globally. There are many platforms like Systeme where you can host your courses for free, manage email campaigns, and even run a membership program.
2. Travel Advisory and Consulting:
Running a travel advisory and consulting business can be fulfilling and enjoyable. When you ask people what they want more of for themselves and their families, 97% of the time, it's travel and travel experiences. You can get started for as little as $200. A travel business can involve offering personalized travel itineraries, destination recommendations, travel planning services, and niche travel expertise like eco-tourism, cruising, and cultural immersion.?According to Bloomberg, travel in 2024 is now the largest industry in the world, with a market value of $11 trillion. Almost all travel has commissions built-in.
3. Content Creation:
You can start a content creation business by leveraging your skills in writing, graphic design, video editing, or any other creative field. This can involve writing blog posts, creating social media content, designing graphics, and editing videos. I encourage my clients to start a YouTube channel.? Content creation can lead to various monetization opportunities, such as sponsored content, affiliate marketing, or ad revenue.
4. Online Re-selling:
With the rise of e-commerce platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, and many more, you can start an online reselling business. This can involve selling vintage items, handmade crafts, or unique products from wholesalers or thrift stores. The initial investment can be minimal, focusing on consignment inventory. Here, niches are important. When you specialize in unique items, building an audience is easier.
5. Consulting Services:
If you have experience in a particular industry or profession can offer consulting services remotely.?This can include providing advice on business strategy, marketing, finance, human resources, or any other area of expertise. Consulting can be highly lucrative and often involves providing personalized solutions to clients' problems.
