Your Internet Business: It"s Never Too Late To Get Started!
Are you a baby-boomer or a 'silver surfer'? Have you ever thought about starting an internet business? Well, you'd be amazed at how many people over the age of 50 having been bitten by 'the internet bug' go on to set up an online business to either supplement their retirement income or in many cases completely replace them!
You've probably heard the famous story of one man who, having found himself out of work, was horrified at the small amount he was going to have to live on. His social security check was a tiny $105. So he took the only unique thing that he had - his mother's family chicken recipe - and decided to try to sell it to restaurants for a slice of the extra profits he could generate.
So off he went in his car and travelled from restaurant to restaurant, cooking chicken for them. He lived and slept in his car most of the time. At first he didn't have much success but gradually he became better at persuading restaurant owners and their staff to try his chicken. If they liked it, he set up an agreement with them where he'd earn a nickel for each and every chicken the restaurant sold.
That man was Colonel Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame! When he started out, he wasn't exactly a 'spring chicken' himself. But he took something he knew and applied it to a world that was a little strange to him. Over time, he got better at it and became a success.
That very same model has been used by hundreds of thousands of folks who discovered the internet later on in life. With a lifetime of knowledge and experience, many folks find there is a demand for the knowledge and experience they have, and all they have to do is figure out how to get it out there - on a website. And that's the good part because doing that is now easier than it's ever been before!
Whether you take a course at your local college (and there are many around) or you just download a free course or report on how to do it from the internet, all you need is a belief that you can at least give it a go.
Unlike a lot of youngsters who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver plate, older generations (especially baby-boomers) have always been more action orientated, give-it-a-go sort of folks. And there's an ever increasing number making a very healthy living simply sharing their knowledge and experience on the internet. From a lady making hundreds of thousands each year selling a small eBook on how to overcome arthritis to a 60-year old man who makes a handsome 6-figure living from over 30 websites he's been setting up!
So, whether you've a hobby you'd like to share with others; passing on your hints and tips, or you have a wealth of experience from a lifetime of working at a particular job that you'd like to pass on to the next generation; there's an huge range of internet businesses just waiting for you to get started. All it takes is for you to grab your mouse and start surfing!
