Recently Amazon called on all (writers, business types, and others) to create Kindle Singles using the Kindle Direct Publishing platform. A Kindle Single is an e-book which is a report, ,how to guide, experience etc. that has value added to your audience.

If you have never written a KDP document before I recommend that you write a short 10 – 15- page report which is based on information that is valuable to your audience. It can be based on your work experience, hobbies, teaching, consulting, or writing experience. Remember your marketing platform is Amazon and and your marketing channel is the world wide web.

When writing, always keep in mind that you are writing for the benefit of your audience; and they are searching for a solution, or answer to fill their need whether it’s research, learning something new, or just entertainment. Find ideas, which you have a strong interest in and can be passionate about, and also fills the need of your audience and you have a winner.

Sharing your knowledge and experience and getting paid for it is a nice way to give back while supplementing your retirement income. We all have value added information that that others will pay for and publishing that information using the Kindle Direct Publishing platform from Amazon is the way to go. Try it, write a report and publish it on the KDP platform. You never know it may be the start of a whole new profitable and fun career.

A new Retirement Business opportunity has recently surfaced on the internet. What is it? Publishing on Amazon and selling it on Kindle. Now before you folks start saying “Here is another scam” please hear me out. Book readers like Kindle have created a whole new channel and opportunity to publish your writings and it is very affordable. Amazon has setup a separate publishing and online bookstore just for you.

Picture this scenario.

You just retired and you start thinking about what you accomplished over the years. In addition you are thinking about what you are going to do with your time and how you will live in the ever changing economy.

Than one day someone comes to you with an idea on how you can share your knowledge and experience and make extra income at the same time. You decide to write about your knowledge  and begin to sell it on the internet.  It turns out that “this is the exact information” others are looking for and you begin to make money and supplement your income.

Well, that day has arrived.

You can now market and sell your key experiences and the knowledge you have acquired over the years and you can do it without the major expense and hassle of trying to get someone else to publish your information for you. No rejections based on the traditional book publisher review. Now don’t get me wrong,  Amazon does have a set of publishing policies that must be adhered to but they are not difficult to follow.

You don’t have to write a long  (150) page book either. You can write and publish reports, advice, instructions, etc. The subject matter can be based on hobbies, sports, cooking, quilting, investing, etc. It can be 10 to 100+ pages long and because you are selling it on Amazon it’s marketed 24/7.

Finally, you set your own price. Isn’t that great?

I realize that this one post can not do justice to this fantastic opportunity  so I will give you more information in future posts. So check back regularly. The internet is constantly giving us new opportunities to make money. This is not a quick “get rich scheme” but it can be a viable business opportunity for those who want to supplement their income.

Increase Retirement Income — Start An Affiliate Marketing Business

Living on your retirement or saving for early retirement is hard and getting harder. Increasing your retirement income for many has become a matter of survival.

 For others evaluating “retirement job vs retirement business” has become a reality. Some are evaluating retirement internet business ideas rather than going to work in low paying hourly jobs.

Starting an affiliate retirement business online is one of the best ways to increase your retirement income if you decide to start your own business rather then work for someone else. The problem is how do you start.

The best way is to find the resources necessary to get your new internet retirement business functioning quickly so you can increase your retirement income.

I continually search the internet for the solution and I think I have found the answer. The product is called The Affiliate Code. See what I mean here:

It is a complete online learning system which is segmented into 8 modules and contains 39 video tutorials. I don’t know about you but visual learning is easier and faster and I have a higher retention rate. I find it better than reading a manual or a book.

 Start Your Own Retirement Business Now

Recently I found an awesome business tool which enables you to evaluate your behavioral competencies and the major business roles that are needed in most businesses. The evaluation takes less than 20 minutes to complete and is delivered to your email address shortly after you complete the evaluation.

As you know building and operating a retirement internet business will require you to wear many different hats during a typical business day. The results of this evaluation will be invaluable as you start building and running your business.

Anyone will struggle or fail without the right talent, passion and skill needed for their unique business. You will receive a comprehensive eighteen page report which will help you assess your business skills and personal traits to help you find your perfect retirement internet business.

How can this specifically help you in determining your core, personal and business strengths? It will help you develop your perfect retirement business mindset. Seven benefits to having a perfect retirement business mindset are:

• Knowing what business will work for you and not waste your time looking at business opportunities which do not fit.
• Being confident with your business decisions because you will know the retirement business you chose was right for you.
• Understanding your retirement business is an investment in yourself your future and the future of your family.
• Knowing bottom line, that the business you build will be right for you.
• You will not be un-focused and distracted by all kinds of business opportunities (good or bad).
• You will not believe the promises of easy money. Instead you will be focused on spotting a winning business opportunity which is tailored to your strengths and goals.
• You will know your areas of greatest strength (your natural fit) and where you need support through others.

Becoming an entrepreneur requires critical self-knowledge which will allow you to fully trust yourself and your decisions. Get to know yourself better and understand how your core competencies give your unique business the passion, skills and personal traits to make your retirement business successful.

When you start building your retirement business you will be bombarded with all kind of advice from people like your friends, family, business opportunity marketers, etc. If you listen to them you will become distracted from your real objective which is finding and building a successful retirement business based on your core business competences.

Business opportunity marketing is everywhere especially in this economy. You can spend a lot of time and money researching and trying out different opportunities and eventually give up because they are just a part of what is necessary to make you a successful business entrepreneur.

How do you navigate through this confusing maze of information and still have a fighting chance to build a successful retirement business that is rewarding personally and financially? The way you start is to determine how you, personally, will become that successful entrepreneur.

The single most important step in finding your perfect retirement business is not what most marketers tell you. Evaluating business opportunities or finding a niche market is not the first thing you do.

The most important step is evaluating yourself, your strengths, and your desires as it relates to becoming an entrepreneur and a business owner.

The right mindset will enable you to build your perfect retirement business. Becoming an entrepreneur and a business owner requires critical self-knowledge which will allow you to fully trust yourself and your decisions.

Continued education is a critical part of your personal success after you retire and here is an opportunity to add to your income by building your own retirement business.

But before you start investing in a your business however, find out what you personally bring to the table, because your skills and unique personal traits are key to your business success.

Register today to take this 15 – 20 minute personal assessment survey.

After you complete the survey you will be sent (by email) a comprehensive report of your core performance competencies which are important when operating a business. This information is important and valuable information and it will be key to your successful start of your entrepreneurial journey in your business.

Looking for a job in this economy?
Why not consider starting your own Internet Business instead?

It’s interesting. People will not think twice about working at a job but dismiss the thought of starting their own business. The reason is “We have been taught, schooled, trained, etc. to work for someone else from day one.”

Maybe it’s time to change your mindset and become an internet entrepreneur. And before you say “I can’t”. Think about this. You can if you are willing to change your mind.

• Sure it’s going to take time and money learning.
• Sure it is going to take time and money setting up and operating your business.
• And in the beginning you may feel scared, frustrated and discouraged.

A solution is to become a “Success Thinker” and invest in your continued learning, entrepreneurial development and business operational skills. These tools, resources and information can be found free or for a price. You can find them on the internet, in books and seminars, etc.

But remember, there is usually a trade off between free and paying for something. Sure you will usually find most information for free somewhere on the internet and sure you can find free tools for your business too.

The trade-off is going to be investment in time to get this information and the search process could be frustrating and discouraging when you are trying to start and operate your business.

Don’t fall into this trap. Purchase the resources that will ramp up your business knowledge and skills quickly and take advantage of free resources which support this objective. Don’t try to do the reverse by spending a lot of time looking for free stuff which doesn’t support your business.

The internet is an “Equal Opportunity Business.” You have the same opportunity as anyone else to be a successful Internet Business Entrepreneur when you retire. Just make a commitment to yourself to invest in yourself, your business, and enjoy the rewards.

So you may have to get another job today but why not also implement your Plan B so a few years from now you won’t have to worry about losing your job because of the economy.

With that I would like leave you with this thought from yesterday.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Retirement Internet Buisiness vs Retirement Job

This is a challenge to all retirees out there, future and current, no matter what your age. Become a Success Thinker and use your talents, expertise, knowledge and experience:

• To embrace the Internet, expand your vision of the future, and leverage these resources to expand your lifestyle.

Ok, I can hear you now “I’m retired and I don’t want to learn a new skill set” and I say “That’s ok, you can go to work at the mall for a minimum wage and struggle to maintain your current lifestyle”.

Let me give you five good reasons to consider building your own internet business instead of working at a JOB:

• Start an internet retirement business which you have a passion for, or have fun doing, while making money and hopefully much more than a JOB.
• Work hours that are flexible and meet your schedule. So you can enjoy your family and your retirement lifestyle.
• Work anywhere and anytime, where there is an internet connection. You can check how your business is doing anytime and anywhere.
• Make money anytime and anywhere even while you snooze. In this case you can snooze and possibly win big instead of losing. You can’t do that with a JOB.
• Running an Internet business is more mentally than physically challenging. It will help keep you sharp and you don’t have long hours on your feet working for someone else.
• The business can be setup and run without maintaining inventory, employees, and other overhead which you would have if you had a traditional storefront.

Remember, there is no free lunch. You will have to invest your time and money to learn to become proficient as an internet entrepreneur. But it could result in a lifestyle which could expand at this point in your life, and that would certainly be welcome, I would think.
