3. Start a podcast or a blog

If you want to earn extra money from the comfort of your own home, with all the knowledge you have, it’s never been easier! You can always start a podcast (they are trending lately), or if you’re not exactly a very talkative person but you enjoy writing, you can start a blog.

Think about a potential subject that you know everything about. After that, think about a design for your page if you choose to blog, and read more about how you can add paid ads to it. If you choose podcasting, you can do it either on YouTube or Spotify.

Believe it or not, this is one of the simplest ways to make extra cash, especially during retirement. Plus, if you’re looking to also be more social, you will for sure meet new people along the way. New friends and fans? That sounds cool indeed!
