If you are over the age of 50 then chances are you have amassed a wide range of skills. What is even more amazing though is that currently, you can use these skills and turn them into incredibly successful side gigs. Five of the most successful side gigs for those over fifty include:
- Life Coach
Becoming a life coach is a great option if you are a natural leader and you want to share with others the knowledge that you have gained. By passing on knowledge and helping guide others to success you could make on average around $30 per hour.
- Pet Sitter
While being a pet sitter is not a hard job, it pays well considering almost everything you are called to do includes a cute animal. Pet sitters tend to make around $13 an hour.
- Travel Agent
If you have a love for travel and you have learned most of the things you need to know about booking holidays for others then you could try opening a travel agency or becoming a travel agent. In general travel agents tend to make over $18 an hour.
- Rental Host
If you have a home with an extra space that you can rent, then you have a side gig waiting to happen. Renting out a private room in your home can be quite profitable and the pay usually depends on the area you are in.
- Local Tour Guide
If you love your area and you have a lot to say then you could become a local tour guide and help tourists fall in love with your town. Local tourists tend to make around $12.79 per hour.
