-Your target audience should be 55+. Target churches, grocery stores, and other places the elderly congregate. They both have more money than other groups and are more in need of IT services.
-Be willing to make house calls. You'l make WAY more money.
-Be ready to work on very outdated hardware and software. You may want to brush up on some skills you haven't used in a while.
If you're willing to be patient, you could really make a lot of money in most areas.
Why not get in contact with the University of the Third Age, and see whether you could do some sessions, or a presentation sometime. You won't necessarily be paid for those activities, but it would be good experience and potentially look great on your CV. Plus you'll make some great contacts.

So basically my and a friend have been thinking of offering IT skills and support to people who find it difficult to get a grasp of using the computer. I came up with the idea because my parents struggle with PC's and I help them regularly, they then mentioned something about ' our area not having IT supporters' . We're both in college so we would offer the support during half terms and weekends. neither of us have alot of starting money, so we will just be printing flyers and putting them in letterboxes locally. Is this any good, what are your views ? Any recommendations and advice would be great. Thanks
We also will be putting flyers and posters in local churches and bingo clubs - with permission.
