How Your Daughter Can Earn Cash from the “Technically Challenged”

Does it seem that your daughter is glued to her smart device?   Does she laugh at technically challenged adults because,  she a whiz when it comes to operating smartphones, tablets, laptops, or even computers?

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

Determine specific results she can provide customers

  • 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

I hope that these tips give you some insights and ideas for how your daughter can leverage her tech talents into cash!
