"Hi, I'm Chris Bryce with superservice.com, and I'd like to talk to you about how to start making money fixing computers with no experience. Well the best way obviously to make money with fixing computers is to have that experience. But there are ways to go about gaining the experience. The first way is, if you've got older computers that are lying around that you don't need anymore or that you may have been wanting to donate to Good Will, somewhere like that. Before you do that you can sit down, open the computers and see how they work, see how the functions inside go, see how things fit together. That's one of the great ways to find out how to put together a system. As far as actually gaining the experience to fix the systems there's a few different ways to do that. You can look for on line resources or you can try and make an agreement with a local computer store to bring computers to them, as a depot almost, for customers of yours. If you have that relationship set up with a computer store, which most computer stores will do, that's a great way to start out. It's something that allows you to help your customers and help make money by fixing those computers when you're actually taking it to another place to have that repair done. But it's also something that allows you to stay there and watch the people that are fixing the computer and gain that experience, almost like being an intern. It's really the best way to go about it. Again, you can look on line for resources, you can go to a local computer store and try to set up a relationship with them or you can sit at home with computers that you've got and take them apart and try to go through what makes them tick. Those are the best ways to start making money now, fixing computers with no experience."
