I have been scammed before, so it is my obligation and responsibility not to feature any scam on my website.

Hello Den
After reaching a certain age, getting a job can be hard, in my country(Switzerland), we even have special job seekers programs for the over 50s (which in my opinion are not yet that old) but finding a job once you`re over 50 can be hard.You`re not yet a senior citizen but no one wants to employ you.
Thanks to online it`s now possible for anyone to make money online, either as an affiliate or offering your services in freelancing sites like upwork, Fiverr, or if one is good at writing, places like iWriter can offer good income opportunity no matter the age.
The best thing is that to make money online, one does not have to have skills, you can learn as you go, improve things and make money along the way.But having said that, I think it is easier if one has skills.Thanks to the diversity online, even senior citizens getting started without skills can learn using the many tools available online.
As you mentioned in your post, there are places to get started learning the skills needed to succeed online and some of them are offering free trial so one knows if it`s the right path or not, and Wealthy Affiliate is one of those places, I mean at Wealthy Affiliate, one can decide to stay free member and no one will pressure you to upgrade and this can be really appealing to senior citizens who may not have alot of cash to invest in programs they are not sure they want to continue with or not.
Very informative and well explained, thanks for sharing.

Glad you are looking out for the scams out there. They have roped in too many and will financially hurt even more than we think.
Your looking out for the seniors is a good thing. The information you provided about online jobs for seniors is very valuable. Getting onto the internet may be difficult for some, but learning the skills through a good platform will make it easier than they could believe.
Hi James,
It is my responsibility to steer people away from scam sites as much as I can. With the proper training the senior citizens will have an edge over the young guys as they have the experience on how to run things.

Great post about online jobs for senior citizens, lots of insightful information given. With so many scams around it is easy to give up on an opportunity to earn from home. Starting a business is not easy and getting encouragement and direction from those that have already succeeded can a be a great boost towards personal success. A lot of pitfalls can be avoided when the right advice is followed.
Hi Veronica,
Senior citizens are good candidates for online jobs as they have the experience and time.

Hi there,
There are and as far as I am concerned always be a plethora of opportunities to earn some decent money online for people of all ages and backgrounds. But the individual involved in my humble opinion and experience must be inspired and motivated to learn and indeed earn.
Hi, Derek,
I agree with you, but as you can see senior citizens have more free time because they are retired. They can focus more on online business as this is the trend these days.Online business is very rewarding if you have the time and motivation.I myself wish I have more free time to do this kind of business.
