A wild weekend!
Over the last 3 months I have been looking for a 2nd job...but for some reason the part time job market is saturated. I needed the money. <br><br>But something weird has been happening. Word of mouth got out that I work on computers and I have been making more on the side than I would have made working 20 hours per week at $8/hour. People are looking for people they trust to work on their computers. Make sure your friends and neighbors know that you work on them. All the sudden today I have 3 people asking me to work on their computers this weekend!<br><br>I charge between $35-50 per hour. One Saturday I made $130 in less than 5 hours. <br><br>Luckily I am covering our bills with this. I truly believe that God has been watching over my family. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... ceman>XMEN Iceman </A> at: 1/30/04 3:53 pm<br></i>

Re: A wild weekend!
You'd be surprised what you can get for computer stuff... I've been offered up to $200 for setting up a new PC (I declined payment each time, since I was just being neighborly). All I had to do was plug everything together, print a test page, and get connected to the internet. It usually took under two hours to get everything they way they wanted it and to make sure they could browse and print (so you don't get phone calls 2x a week asking "how do I..." type things). $50/hr seems to be quite reasonable and people will pay more, you'd be pleasantly surprised at that. :P <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-size:large;">C</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:orange;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:green;font-size:large;">L</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-size:large;">O</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:indigo;font-size:large;">R</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:violet;font-size:large;">S</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:pink;font-size:xx-large;">!</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></p><i></i>

I put a few computers toghether for friends over time. I don't feel comfortable with my skills yet to charge people. A co-worker has asked me to build a pc for him from scratch and he has offered to pay me by buying me some memory for my computer <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://shack.igneferroque.org/coolasfuc ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Re: A wild weekend!
Yeah...but I always give them something a little extra. Either extra memory, etc. that they need. Plus I give them unlimited phone support.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
