I started doing some consulting for some home clients recently, in La Jolla and Pacific Beach. They’re all private residences, where I help fix general networking and computer problems. One client had a huge list of problems but I was somehow able to fix all of them in a few hours! That allowed us to move on to planning her blog and website layouts, getting a lot done but also leaving a lot more work to do later on.
Jobs like these are kind of fun for me – I love being able to solve problems for people, especially nice ones who don’t know where to go for help. (usually having to visit best buy etc…)
Fixing these small problems that just require a little bit of experience, it feels like such a mutually beneficial exchange; to me, the gratitude I’ve received feels great and then I even get paid! My clients (several moms) are getting a great deal because the value of having annoying problems solved is so much greater than the cost to get rid of them.
