I have an idea! Tell me what you think?

Go for it.

Yes it is good idea and will be very helpful for newbie computer users. in simple You get money, they get knowledge.

I like it. I've been getting the blue screen of death and can't bring myself to take it in for repairs. Nothing online helped. If I found something that would allow ME to fix my computer, I'd buy it. : )

What would you guys want it in? An ebook with videos or videos with no ebook?

That is a very good and quite original idea. That should bring you money.
People always search on the internet to find the solution before they call a repairer.
Good luck with your project

I just thought about it now since next year I am gonna take the following computer class that follows computer maintenance so I can get my A+.

Hey, aren't you from Overclock.net? Your username looks familiar.

Anyways, great idea.

And be sure to give out some sort of freebie so that potential clients know you really know what you're talking about. This could be a simple ebook with a guide or two in it. Or maybe a quick video lesson.

Then could upsell them on an entire video series on building a computer from scratch, how to upgrade certain parts, or even overclocking.

The possibilities are endless - you just gotta go out there and take action!

Blue screen of death dude Haha. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what blue screen is.

I think it is a very well thought out and creative idea.
I would buy it!

When you create it, you may want to consider branding it with a name and a logo, so that you can then create a series of them. People love to collect books by the same author. Just look how well the "X for dummies" books have done. In fact, wasn't the very first one called PC for Dummies? Now they have a book on just about everything!

Good luck with your project.
Cheers

If you do that come straight to my page and tell me how much you want. I have some issues from time to time and would love to not pay someone to fix it. I love the idea!!!

I thought of a similar idea years ago but mine was to make a product out of the info for sale.

An e-book sounds like a good idea. Since you are good at gaming/programing, how about an e-book on how to get started in game programing.

sounds great. try to find a relative or someone that have no clue in computers and try to learn from him/her the problems they have.

good luck!

Alright I am going to create it! But I have to find out what you guys want to see and what I should cover? What would you guys like to see in it?

Yeah but it would be good to have some questions that maybe some warriors would want.

do u have such a large knowledge about computers if yes so go for it, but at least make from it some money...

Alright, thats an interesting idea. If you are wanting to create an ebook with pictures then it should cover step by step process from decision making to buying a computer. You can write helpful topics on choosing a perfect config. You can quote different types of PC config based on its use. Like; gaming computer, office computer and personal computer. Thats my thoughts.

Its definitely a good idea and I'll tell you why because I have ALWAYS built my own computers.

What I mean by that is ordering all the seperate components off newegg for cheap, then putting it all together myself. It definitely can be a tricky experience, I have never seen an ebook for something like this, and so I think its a great idea.

I think a GREAT place you could buy ads for something like this, is on a benchmark website. One thing I could tell you I ALWAYS did before buying the components, was comparing benchmarks between certain processors.

Here is another great tip man.

Music producers, target them. Right now if you go on say tranceaddict forums you'll see there is ALWAYS a person buying a better/faster computer to produce music on. Music production is even worse than gaming as far as buying new computers are concerned. If you saw my studio, and all the things I have wired to my pc, you would realize this is a great niche to advertise your book in.

For instance, this latest i5 processor I've only had a couple of years, and its already beaten up so badly from the bs I put it through. My harddrive is also raped to death by downloading new music samples all the time, and TONS of these guys get viruses, crashing pcs, overheating cpus, music production is BRUTAL for a computer. In music production you'd be lucky to get 2-3 years on one system before it starts breaking down like mine is doing right now actually.

I think this is such a good idea, I can help you market it if you want. I have a solid reputation on 3 different music forums, these guys ALWAYS are spending money, and this is ABSOLUTLEY something they would want to buy.

I guarantee it man, let me help you. I have a lot of sway on these forums so if I recommended it you would get a lot of traffic I guarantee it.

Let me know bro!!

Your idea is sound very good, but computers become very quickly. Do you think that your methods will not become outdated soon and be still valid in couple of years?

I guess you will not be the only one with something, but do it, you could take a surprise.

Its a great way to start. A lot of people online try and make money through means that don't interest them. If you create KDP books based on your interests and hobbies, you'll enjoy working more, giving you more inspiration and a greater drive to work harder, thus generating you greater profits

Definitely do this. You have the expertise and that is the best situation when creating an ebook.

Heres what I am thinking so far. I can create a ebook + videos on how to build a computer for yourself no matter what budget you have and I would offer free skype calls for help. Sorry for the late reply I was busy and I still am a little here and there. I am thinking of what to write about still. I know ill be writing about computers thats for sure, but I wanted to know what you guys would want to see in it.

You can certainly try that but it seems to me that there is already a great deal of free information regarding this topic. Spend some time and look for opportunities which have strong appeal but which are not served well right now. Not an easy task but that's the surest route to success.

How to get rid of the most nasty malware and getting your computer back up to speed again without having to format the hd and reinstall windows. It's nice to run a whole bunch of killers but often it needs more or there is still stuff left.

Lately I did this myself, pretty succesfull, until I run into some other virus or anything like that that ended up in quarantaine, and then I deleted the items from there and my computer was dead, didn't startup in any safe mode or dos prompt or whatever. Very annoying, so tips to prevent that or how to restore data after such thing happens would be very usefull too many, eventually I fixed it myself but pffff...

Go For it!

I might even actually buy it, as I'm going to be needing a new computer in a few months and I was build my own to save money and make it a 4 monitor beast!

Hi
I would say this is great idea.
From my experience many people advertise that they do something for absolute beginners and then forget that they actually deal with people who haven't got a clue about the subject. My advice is hands on training with photos and step by step guidance

I suggest you "dumb it down." Your technical knowledge is probably really good.

I don't know much about computers and something simple, with screen shots and easy to understand language is something that I would not only buy but suggest to my friends too.

Good luck! Start writing. Let me know when you are finished. : )

So over all I should do this idea? Well I am going after my A+ because its the next level above the Cisco certifcation.
