Of course, you don’t have to be retired to want to make money.
Anyone can can try these Money Making ideas and principles.
This website is aimed at folks that are retiring on a small budget or broke and so I have included some of my best ideas and plans that I am actually doing right now to earn Passive Income or Income from doing very little.
Most of these plans are internet based which allows you to let technology do all the hard work 24 hours, 7 days per week.
Don’t reject technology – It will be your friend in the future!
I understand people in their 50’s and 60’s not being quite up to speed on the technical front. But a little bit of research and a slight amount of learning can see you setting up some good income streams. I’m in my 60’s and I did it so you can too.
Some of these ideas involve getting your own website and others don’t. Some you can use existing websites like Facebook and other Social Websites.
I will list a few ideas here and explain them briefly as we go. You can then do more research online or go to my other website www.fruu.co.uk/makemoney for more detailed instructions
My Favourite Online Income Streams
1 – Affiliate Marketing
If you have never heard of this before, it is essentially where you sell other peoples products online and receive a commission for doing so. This can be a fit and forget income stream or you can spend more time after setting it up and build on the income. It is pretty easy to set up, minimal or zero cost to you, and I give you more details in my “AFFILIATE MARKETING” E-Book – Download it HERE
2 – Online Surveys
Did you know that you can get paid (In some instances £3 per survey) jut to complete online surveys. You can do this whilst sat watching TV. You will not get rich overnight and it is using your time but it will help you “Top up the Bucket”.

3 – Become a Google Approved Photographer
Set this business up for around £600
This is what is known as a “Maximum Return – Minimum Input” Business.
This is not really a Passive Income Stream but it does enable you to generate a decent income during retirement with a relatively small set-up cost. And very little time actually working!
This has Massive Earning Potential and the time it takes to earn around £150 is about 20 Minutes! Imagine how many of those you could do in a day if you really worked at it!

This is a really good area to get into to provide your main passive income stream. Now admittedly you could do with a little experience but it is not impossible to learn quickly about this. Especially with my help.
You can start off very simply with one of my own packages and then develop further.

5 – Invest in Bitcoin or other Crypto-currencies
But what the Hell is Bitcoin anyway?
Bitcoin was the first Crypto-currency to be invented by some anonymous software expert or group of experts who go under the pseudonym of
Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin was invented in 2008 but started in 2009 when its source code was released . Basically, Bitcoins are a virtual currency. There is nothing physical about them. Neither are they governed by any organasation or centralised body. It is complicated to explain in simple terms what they are, how they are produced and how they work. However, imagine this… You have a currency in which someone wants to buy. The e act of buying it requires a record or Ledger to be kept. It is kept on your computer but it is also kept on every other owner’s computer. When one owner sells their Bitcoin and another person buys it, a transaction has taken place. This means that the ledger requires updating with the transaction…On everyone’s computer as soon as possible because there is no central body monitoring this. The computer power to do the complex mathematical problems to do this is immense and time consuming. So anyone doing this on their computer can be rewarded for the work by
generating New bitcoins (or part thereof). This process is called “Mining”. This is an ongoing process but it is becoming more difficult to create the new Bitcoins with a more and more complex algorithm and other factors that there will only ever be 20,999,839.77085749 Bitcoins. After that there will not be any more mined. This will probably be around the year 2140. One bitcoin can be broken down into 0,00000001 BTC so there will be plenty of (Parts) to go around and of course they should become more valuable due to the principle of Supply & Demand.
How do I make money out of it then?
Lets make no mistake about this – A lot of people have already become millionaires from Bitcoin and other Crypto-currencies (Yes, there are about 2000 in total, but Bitcoin is the most well known). And there is a possibility that you too can make a lot of money dealing in Bitcoin. However, it must always be considered a gamble and if you want to gamble, you must be prepared to lose the lot!
To keep things simple, a good place to start for a beginner is by going to reputable broker like Coinbase.
Coinbase is the world’s largest bitcoin broker and available in the UK, most of Europe as well as the United States, UK, Canada and Singapore. And they have been around for some time.
Here, you sign-up to an account and get a Digital Wallet. Simply follow their instructions. It may at first seem a little daunting as they do require some personal information including proof of identity! Don’t worry too much about this as it is all done over a secure server. Now you can go and buy some Bitcoin and store it in your Digital Wallet. Then keep an eye on the fluctuating price of Bitcoin (It can go up and down by large amounts and rapidly too!) when you are ready to sell you follow the instructions on their site.
You can even get some Crypto Currency for FREE by following the link below. If you use this link to sign up, buy say £100 worth and we both get a few quid for you doing so. It won’t be a fortune (around £8 at the present) and it changes continually BUT, it is FREE!!
