How much should you charge?
It's been my experience in my area, that computer repair shops charge a going rate of $85 to clean up a PC.
I started out charging less but when customers starting raving about the fact that not only was I charging less but I was saving them a trip to the Repair shop and they were not without their computers for the one to three days the shop usually keeps them, I started charging more.
I realized toward the end of my “career” as George the computer guy that people would be willing to pay me the same if not more to save them the trip to the repair shop. When you think about it, this is more than fair because the guy at the shop can work on any number of computers at the same time, letting the antivirus and anti spyware programs do their job concurrently on many different PCs.
In the businesses and homes of your customers you are usually working on only one PC at a time, maybe only doing one or two jobs a day. Having the above in mind I did start charging $85 a pop and even got tips on top of that a couple of times bringing the actual cash for the job up to $100. I also charged $100 a couple of times with no complaint from the customer.
The good news… You will find that once you have a satisfied customer, you will have a customer for life. The bad news… You will find that once you have a satisfied customer, you will have a customer for life.
If you are earnestly growing your Internet Marketing business there will come a time when you don't want to do PC clean up any more. PC cleaning requires serving customers when and where they want and need to be served. To Be Continued...
