Today, I went door to door to hand out business cards and get some business. I figure that most of us are a bit lazy about taking our stuff in for repair. So, if somebody comes in and offers to fix something, it’s not a big deal to hire on the spot. It worked. Within my first ten stops, I got a quick job setting up a wireless router and DSL modem that had stopped working. I was able to get the computer and the router talking to each other. Tomorrow, I’ve got to talk to AT&T technical support to set up the DSL connection again.
I think this approach to getting work is preferable than simply putting out ads. We’ll see in the long-run if this pays off.

Congrats! Glad to see things are starting off well
Pounding the pavement works!
Remember to hand out your card when you are at the various computer shops purchasing equipment. You’ll have to do it “under the table” but you never know who will give you call.
Seems like things are off to a good start.
Looks like there is genuine interest out there. I am running out of cards, however.
