5 Ways To Use The Web For An Early Retirement

Posted by Hyder on May 7th, 2008

Everyone’s trying to make a buck euro or two, or double what they made yesterday online. The best part about the web is that you do not need a degree, you don’t have to be in any specific country or city and most importantly you do not need to know someone that’s knows someone so you can land a “deal”. You can pretty much make it on your own here and look forward to an early retirement.

So in the spirit of everyone, and their mom, offering up tips and tricks on how to rake it in online. Here’s -

5 ways that you can use the web to plan an early retirement

  • Get Social Online & Offline - You do not need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on traffic, SEO, a custom made CMS or glitzy graphics, even though a good web design can help you down the road, to get started on the web. You just need to have a sense of humor and good social skills. Then let social media do the work for you. Use linkbait content that people just cannot resist seeing. Learn everything you can about social media marketing, slowly but surely, and remember to market yourself offline too. People still read t-shirt slogans no matter how silly it may look to them. Social media marketing is where the new rich hang out, you need to get started today before it’s too late!
  • Write To Retire - People are getting book deals because of their daily ramblings. BOOK DEALS!!! Was that possible 10 years ago if you kept giving advice, or telling funny stories, to people from your cubicle? Nope, but today you can. If you are good with words, and are not abusive of using tags, then by all means get started on your A-list status. You never know what could happen.
  • Affiliate Today, Super Affiliate Tomorrow - This takes some work, but once you get started there is seriously nothing that can stop you. I’m getting a little bit of the taste myself and I’m loving it. Starting in affiliate marketing can be a little intimidating at first, but mark my words the key here is perseverance. If you can persevere in your job, just so you can retire after 40 years, then spending a few months on this cannot be that hard.
  • Freelance Today, Vacation Tomorrow - Seriously it’s not that hard as it sounds. I’ve been doing it for years now, even though my pace is slower than most, I can very arguably say that going freelance is probably the best choice I made. I started slow and steady before I went in full swing. Word of advice, if you have a family - get a separate office space where they cannot see you for said amount of hours, unless it’s an emergency.
  • Use The Web, I Mean That Literally. USE It! - If there is one thing you should know about the web, it will not care about you tomorrow. It probably doesn’t even care about you right now. Don’t try and be friends with search engines, algorithms, traffic rankings, “buzz” indicators, linkbacks etc… they can stop caring about you in a heartbeat. Use each and every single aspect of the web for what’s it worth.

Now that you are on your way to planning an early retirement there is one other thing you should know.

Stop reading this and take action. You’re not getting any younger.
