Workers In Retirement Trap Never Too Old For Internet Business

The most recent economic downturn has seen many over 50s ousted from their jobs, but some who have already reached retirement age have been forced to defer their retirement plans.

Macon, Ge (prHWY.com) September 18, 2012 - Whilst others who had already said their goodbyes to the workplace have had to make an unexpected return. To make matters worse, government’s efforts to cut unemployment in the under 25s has had a further negative impact on older workers, according to a recent study conducted by the Trades Union Congress (TUC), with employers now hiring in favour of the youngsters. With a wealth of transferable business skills acquired during their years in the workplace however, and the help of the new Pathways guide to building a successful web business, there is hope yet for the over 50s to avoid financial worryor discomfort.

The Internet might well be viewed as the "young person’s domain, and it is certainly true that the Millennials can find their way around todayâ™s technology with the greatest of ease, but it would be unfair to assume that the older generations cannot navigate their way around a computer without a stick either. The last 30 years have seen the vast majority of employees exposed to modern technology in general and the World Wide Web in particular, and a basic level of skill at least is common to most. This knowledge, combined with the life and work experience of the over 50s, actually leaves them in a very strong position to be able to take advantage of online business opportunities.

The older generation is no different to anyone else when it comes to setting up an Internet business. What they need is a straightforward guide which leads them step by step through each stage of the process from beginning to end, and is not full of information which is both complicated to understand and largely, or even wholly irrelevant. Dave Crewe, the designer of the Pathways home learning course, understands this only too well, having spent a great deal of unnecessary time and money in trying to set up his own online venture. After making all the mistakes and finding his way through the fog of information, what he has been able to do is distil his learning into a totally practical and comprehensive guide which can be followed by learners at even the most basic level, regardless of whether their aim is to make a modest income through affiliate marketing or develop a successful online store. For the over 50s, the course represents a real opportunity to make up any shortfall that recent world events have brought about.

The website, awebbusiness.co.uk, and the Pathways programme have been developed to provide an affordable tool to enable ordinary individuals to set up an online business quickly and easily.
