Virtual assistants are in high demand to tackle a large number of tasks for small businesses and even large companies. You might do things like make travel arrangements, send letters, handle emails and phone calls, and other such tasks. Everything can be handled virtually and the hours are often flexible.

Home-Based Sales

Do you love jewelry, makeup or have a passion for something else? There are many companies on the market that allow independent sales representatives to sell their products directly to their friends and family members. You can have parties for people you know, sell items online, or  hand out brochures to your neighbors in your retirement community.

Consultant

When you retire, your expertise does not become irrelevant. In fact, it can be very valuable. If you spent years in a certain industry, offer to consult with businesses in the same industry. Your years of knowledge can help business owners with less experience.
