know computers? Best industry to be in right now!

Options
Hi,

Here's an idea that works if you know how to use a computer and know what your doing.

- If people know you, they'll reconmened you.
- if you start small, you'll build a base of customers that'll always come to you.
- old people are key, they'll reconmened you till your hearts content.

Here's how I started as a simple guy with the next door being the first customer in the last year, how easy it is to get going.

the next door are a couple of 70 year old+ and they do the normal things, chuch etc. I did a sound card installstation for them as they didn't have sound on they're computer.

I brought them a sound card for £4.95 on ebay (free shipping) and charged them £10 for the card (see? Pure profit!) I then went and got they're computer. Installed and walla! sound had computer again ( £25) later I was happier and so was they, as they got a qoute from a large computer company for £65 for this install. (yes a bit of a loss but as far as I see, I was happy.

This was my first storey and now in the villege I live, every day smeone knocks on my door to do some work.. I find out what they've been qouted by this computer business that is around and under cut them by 50% (mostly)!

Same with mobile phones, I am skilled in mobile phone repairs, iPhones, HTC's, blackberry's all of them (pretty much.)

Other day someone at my current work place smashed they're phone screen (iPhone) They went to the market and was going to be charged £67 for the install of a new OEM screen. Went to work on my half hour brake and fixed his phone for £37.

Thus, to add to the storey, this is how I started. and a year or two later.. People are pretty much lineing up for work.

Build a computer for someone for £200 parts (charged £400) You see this is the best industry to be in!
