A very comprehensive list. With all due respect, the number of typos in your article was distracting. You need a proofreader.
By thanks, I found some interesting tips. Laura
Sorry, but you need a good proof reader!! I seem to have a natural talent to find mistakes in the written word. I found so many mistakes in your writing on this site. Good luck to you in the future!
Nice, informative article – but in need of proofreading.
I’m a retired journalist of 20 years interested in proofreading from home.
I offer my services!
You need someone to edit your website. Just reading quickly I saw a few errors.
These are all excellent ideas. I’m impressed. Also, some of these would benefit non-seniors like my disabled adult daughter.
I saw mwntion of ebay and amazon but haven’t delved into it yet. I had a friend that made a good living selling misc stuff on Ebay. She would scout garage/estate sales, trash pick-up day, store closings as well as offering to clean out basements, attics and garages in the affluent part of town. With the bounty of “another man’s junk” she posted on ebay and made a pretty good profit. Her comment was, “SOmebody, somewhere will buy almost anything you put online. Remember, it is a glbal audience so stuff like old Ameruican blue jeans (this was in the 90s) will sell quick in Asia. McDonald’s toys, PEZ and other stuff that is kitch to us are facinating for other cultures.”
Keep up your good work. You are helping to positively mold our new gig economy so that folks can do what they can with dignity, enjoyment and reward.
I could be interested in some of these.
The link for data entry jobs takes you to proofreading jobs instead

Your title “Old People Part Time Jobs” is disgusting and stupid. Wake up and be decent.
