    Considering eBay sales

    Well, and this is not to show off in any way, but I am an owner of a computer services company, where we are the ones that upgrade them every three years. The majority of hardware we offer is on lease as we have credit lines with some of the big companies. That's not to say that companies don't...

    Considering eBay sales

    So I've been going to some government auctions and military/school liquidation events and I now know that you can buy desktops in pallets of 500 for about $10 each(per computer). If I was to get a refurbisher license I can get licenses for about $30-35 each. I have seen the exact same model sell...

    Is it important to set work parameters?

    I was just wondering if it's important to "define" what sort of IT business you have. I see a lot of companies that just do a bunch of what looks like random IT and computer stuff, and others, generally the smaller ones, focus on one or a few things that they know they are good at. To me it...

    Mobile IT support a practical business?

    Also a lot of residential people don't know about or even how to use remote services. I live in Charleston SC and it's jammed full of old rich people. Like I said I'm also considering training and there is about an equal amount of unemployed or underemployed people in the poorer areas and I...

    Mobile IT support a practical business?

    Well if the computer doesnt turn on, the monitor doesnt turn on, or anything else that compromises proper boot then that won't work. But I feel like I could market away from it. Seeing as how NO ONE advertises I could claim "remote access is'nt near as reliable as an actual person being there to...

    Mobile IT support a practical business?

    I want to start a business where the main objective is to be mobile, fast, and versatile, as in we would be available 24/7 ready to tackle any computer support or other issue that might come up. Trying to stay away from the network building and setting up ( I can do some network repair, not an...

    Trying to convince a friend he will get caught...

    MY friend bought some "auto clicker" software to go around his website and click on ads. He thinks that he's gonna get rich without having to do anything, but I told him he is gonna get caught. He will right? To me it kinda seem like online fraud. He is determined so I need some help explaining...

    Profitable ideas for a bunch of computers?

    So I have about 30 desktops and a few laptops capable of running windows 7 (or 8 if I wanted) and I wanted some ideas of something profitable I could do with them. I thought about opening a computer cafe type thing that charges like 3$ an hour for use. Maybe I should open up a small storefront...

    Mobile IT support/repair a good idea?

    I still like the idea of being an individual IT guy. What if I offered teaching to, like how to use such and such, and I offered support for mobile devices? That would cover computer hardware, software, networking, teaching, mobile device support and more. I really feel that there is a market...

    Mobile IT support/repair a good idea?

    A managed service provider. I think that's what you were referring to as far as sub-contracting goes.
