How I'm Building A List of Offline Clients and Making Some Money Too

I looked around my environment and discovered that most of my friends and neighbors are still using what I call "Windows-XP PC". I also discovered that their greatest annoying challenge is that their PCs often "hang" and moves at a very slow rate or very low speed.

So, I sat down and learned how to troubleshoot a PC that uses Windows XP in order to solve the problems of "hanging" and very low speed.

What next? I started visiting my friends and neighbors to tell them that I can make their PC work better and faster. The first thing they always asked me is, "How much will it cost?"

To their greatest surprise, I told them that I will charge them absolutely nothing.

To my greatest surprise, the first person allowed me to do it. I did it and the PC started working finer than it was. He was excited and he gave me some money.

He spread the news and people started coming to my house for me to fix their own PCs.

I have been doing it till date FREE of charge but they have been giving me some money out of excitement.

Right now, I have a list of about 40 offline clients that I can sell something else to because I have been able to build a solid reputation/credibility by just solving their problem free of charge.

Also, I have been making some money without asking for it though soonest I will start charging for it.

I hope this helps someone looking for a way to build a list.
