Anyone with some a little training and experience can find themselves among the most valuable assets in the world of computers and small business as a computer support person. Many computer users will find themselves in predicaments that have them on the verge of panic and will think the sky is falling on them. They will have a small computer glitch or problem that can be pretty easily remedied and find themselves wanting to go out and buy another computer.

For those who rely on computers to run their own at home business, their computer is their lifeline. Most do not know much about how a computer works.

Most do not do what they need to make sure that everything is backed up on removable hard drives or online storage system. There are so many things that you can do to make their lives easier they will look to you for help first when they do have major computer problems.

I know 2 teenagers that have minimal knowledge of how computers work, they fix things like virus infections, spyware, malware and other parasites. They have a routine and if they can fix the problems, they get paid. They then offer to install the needed antispyware and malware programs that are purchased through their affiliate links.......these dudes make some nice extra cash and can't keep up with the demand.

People don't want to throw their computers away....they would like to fix them, but they don;t know who to take them to. This is one Business Model that will prove very profitable for any ambitious person!

You will most likely want to get started locally so that you can either be called out to take care of on site repairs or so that they can bring their computer in to you to take care of.
