Computer Cleaning May Be The Best Home Based, Part-time or Full-time Business

 Computer Cleaning May Be The Best Home Based, Part-time or Full-time Business

With the proper motivation, training, and advertising you will be able to charge for most all aspects of personal computer and computer system installation, repair, and maintenance.

But, unlike your competitors, you will engage in the two most lucrative and high-profit aspects of computer maintenance -- computer cleaning (Note 1) and spyware removal (Note 2).

Imagine yourself being able to charge $50 to $75 per hour with almost no business expenses; no high-dollar office or advertising, no employees with their demands and aggravations.

Imagine yourself owning your own business within just a few days, no high-dollar startup expenses, no dealing with the bankers, no burdensome filing fees or taxes.

Imagine a work place with no boss watching your every move, no timelines except those of your making.

Your potential clients

Any individual, family, or business is a potential client. At one time or another, guaranteed, all are in need of your computer cleaning or spyware removal services. And, once your foot is in the door then the potential for 'rounding' the business is tremendous. Hardware and software upgrades, new systems, additional client terminals, one-on-one training, it's all there, just for the asking.

Nothing, other than a successful spyware removal is so appreciated by the customer as a physically clean system. Sticky keyboards make it difficult to type and a dirty monitor makes it difficult to read an e-mail or complete a spread sheet. Dust inside of the case can allow heat to rise until the system malfunctions.

In this guide we will be covering how to eliminate all of these dirt and contaminate related problems, as well as a few others that we've personally encountered.

Keep in mind that this isn't the be all or end all to system cleaning. But, using this information should keep your customers' systems in good shape and earn you their gratitude and dollars.

First, and most importantly, we need to emphasize that you should only perform these items if the hardware is turned off. Cleaning a computer while it is on could damage the equipment and possibly even cause harm to yourself.

Second, you must appear clean and tidy. A white lab or doctor's coat makes a great impression. Upon request, we will supply you with a scalable image of our PCdoctorT logo that many of us proudly display. An anti-static strap, while not absolutely necessary, is another item that makes a customer remember your service, not your bill.

Finally, computer cleaning is an on-going business. Do a good job the first time, bill reasonably, and the customer will use you on a regular basis. Establish for yourself a reminder system to calendar repeat visits. Call or write the account a few days prior to the next calendared visit.

Note 1 : Computer cleaning is the physical cleaning of a computer system to remove dirt, dust, and airborne contaminants that accumulate over time. Among the items you will learn to properly clean are the case (outside and inside), keyboard, monitor, mouse, external ports, removable drives, printers, etc.

Note 2 : Spyware removal is the process of removing (un-installing) spyware, adware, trojans, browser hijackers, telephone number dialer software and keylogger programs that your customers knowingly or unknowingly install on their systems through Internet access. These programs cause pop-ups, un-wanted advertisements, home page (or start page) hijacking, modifying search results, dialing out to incur unwanted long distance telephone charges, and can even delete entire hard disks of valuable data.
