More than ever of the 78 million Baby Boomers in the United States alone are discovering that they will need to supplement their retirement income to replace staggering losses in their IRAs and 401Ks. With pension plans going broke, Social Security in uncertainty, a volatile stock market, and rising cost of living, more and more people who are in retirement or at the end of their working years are looking for retirement income opportunities.

On the positive side, the internet has made this the best time to start a home business. The internet is ideally suited for retirement income opportunities because the business can be run within any schedule and from the comfort of one's home. People born between the years of 1946 and 1964 have significant wisdom and experience to share.

People in retirement are now free to pursue the dreams they have had for years, dreams they had to squelch during the working years because of time pressures. Many people are afraid that they cannot start a business after age 60 just because the corporate world discriminated against them in the latter years. In contrast, the internet allows people to reach out and connect with others all around the world. It is even more lucrative when the chosen business involves travel and connection with like-minded individuals.

Before committing your time and resources to an internet business, however, you must first do due diligence and confirm that the opportunity is legitimate and worth your time and effort. There are a lot of scam opportunities that you will see advertised on television and on the internet. You need to confirm that the business you choose will be a true retirement income opportunity. You need to develop a relationship with the person who will become your upline and make sure you 'connect' with them. In a legitimate business, this relationship will be long lasting.

You need to be involved with people you find attractive, in the sense that they have similar goals and interests and are intellectually stimulating to you. You will find that there are some unique retirement income opportunities that combine the freedom to work at your own pace along with favorable circumstances to connect with others all over the globe.

The main things people need to take advantage of the retirement income opportunities on the internet are (1) the monetary investment and (2) internet marketing education. You must learn how to drive quality traffic to your website(s). Quality traffic is defined as visitors who are looking for what you are selling and are ready to buy.

In conclusion, the perfect retirement income opportunities provide:

• products that are valuable to you in and of themselves

• a reliable and steady income

• freedom to work anywhere you can access the internet

• marketing education and mentorship

• a community of like-minded individuals

• opportunity for growth at any age
