In the post-Christmas/Holiday season, there will be technically challenged adults receiving gifts.  They won’t have a clue about how to operate their new gadget.  For example, I am not embarrassed that it was my daughter who taught me how to use Siri on my last phone. Not embarrassed in the least that a toddler showed me how to use my phone.  lol.

But this is business gold for your daughter.  She can provide a service that fulfills a desperate need for many.  

Here are five simple steps to your daughter’s technical savviness into cash.  Her wallet will be happy AND she will help a heap of technically challenged.

What does your daughter know?

    • Discuss what she enjoys most
    • Share what you observe as a parent that comes most naturally to her
    • Create a list of 5-10 items and check off the top 3 things that interest her

Set prices

  • Do a quick survey of what competitors like Geek Squad and other tech service educators charge
  • Determine a per hour price that is competitive but also factors her level of experience
  • Consider offering packages that include a set # of hours

  • This is key!  Tell customers what they can expect when they use her service
  • Share one or two feelings that they might experience after using the service.  For example, do they feel more confident?  
  • Ask your best customers for testimonials and/or survey questions about the results they received

Market via social media and/or word-of-mouth

  • Create a flyer to share on social media
  • Pass hard copy fliers within your neighborhood and/or social groups – ie. church, school
