Crossloop is software that allows you to remotely control another persons PC and carry out pc support functions ,as a Helper you can charge a fee.You obviously need to know what you are doing before you start as it's assumed that you are already doing this , no training is available . Not done this myself so no idea how much income you can get , just signed up so will post any updates

this is the basic stuff about the software

    Hi Browntoa,

    How are you getting on with this? I just found out about this service and thought it looked interesting. Was about to make a similar post to yours but found yours first. I'd have thought this would have got more interest and shocked to see it has no replies - but I guess the difficulty is in advertising yourself as a helper and getting people happy enough to pay, and then it being worthwhile after the percentage cut etc (I guess my posts would be quickly deleted if I posted offering to be a helper at £x in the tech section of this forum :D).

    Looking deeper into it, one of the more prolific users has had 223 customers in nearly 2 years http://www.crossloop.com/kennys?sid=f56530 so it looks like an extra tenner here and there but certainly nothing someone could make a living from.
