Make Money Providing Services To Seniors

There are plenty of senior citizens out there who could use some help and are even willing to pay to get some simple chores done, answering the mail, grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions and other duties around the house.

You can start a senior service business where you help them to do all of these thing.

Shopping

Many seniors do not have the mobility to get up and go out and shop for their groceries and other personal needs on a daily basis. Here's where you come in. You could charge a weekly or monthly fee to seniors to do their personal shopping for them. The fee charge should always depend upon the type of shopping that they may need done (i.e groceries and household products or clothing and toiletries) as well as the frequency - which is how many times per month they will need this done.

Just imagine how much money you could make if you did the personal shopping for at least five senior citizens in your area.


Personal Driving and Cleaning

You could earn cash by driving seniors to their doctor's office or other appointments. And just like with personal shopping the fee should always depend upon the frequency - which is how often they need it done.

You'd be surprise to find that some seniors are even willing to pay for you to be their companion. Just to share in a few laughs and conversations with them as they watch their favorite TV show. The earning possibilities are endless.


Advertise Your Service

Post notices around your local area to advertise your service. Call your local newspaper and ask them if they would consider putting your flier in every paper. You may have to pay a few bucks for this type of distribution, but you will be reaching senoris citizens as well as the sons and daughters of many seniors who could use a break for all the work they take on for their aging parents.

Providing services to senior citizens is not only a way to earn some extra cash for yourself, but it is also a very good way to assist a senior citizen in need. The help is always appreciated.
