Comment: Fix computers and network that way for local jobs (Score 3, Interesting) 332
Everyone knows someone with computer trouble and often its not that hard to resolve. Especially if you can do it as a house-call.
Additionally, people with computers are often trying to do things with them.. websites, imagery, newsletters, blogs, etc. and many folks don't know how.
Setting them up document templates, blogs, and other workflow in addition to good free software, and advising on purchases is a good way to go for someone with even modest experience.
Computer experience is a "culture" of knowledge that many people aren't connected to. By having face-time with your clients you can know them well enough to do remote desktop or phone support from home on their projects as they do them. They will recommend you to everyone they know if they are happy and that can lead to bigger contracts. In home-based you need both the big and the small contracts.
This can also lead to doing contra with any local businesses you are a customer of. woohoo!
