Читать книгу Start & Run a Computer Repair Service - Lynn Spry - Страница 9

You’ve probably seen a part-time/owner-only business on Craigslist or other online classified ad websites. The owner may work a full-time job and do a small amount of computer work on the side. There is no dedicated phone line for the business but even if there is, only one person answers it. This is the most common of the part-time computer businesses and it can be a very nice source of additional income.

This type of business has a few regular customers and they all are serviced by the owner. There are no full-time employees and this one-person shop can handle 10 to 20 customers a week with most of them on the weekend. The rate these types of owners charge is usually less than a full-time operation, but they can still make $30 to $40 an hour! If they can up sell a few pieces of hardware, they can make $600 to $800 a week! For a part-time gig, that’s pretty good money, but they are tied to their customers and can never get a break.
