Just started a small business and need some direction
Iam a Computer Technician and Im just starting out helping people fixing there computers from home. Because I just cant find regular work, I dont know how much I should charge the customer for getting there computers fixed. The last customer I charged her $20 to look at the computer about $20 for parts and labor. How much should I charge to fix pcs and laptops? and realize this is only part time just to make a little money until I find a job.
Answer1:I think you are undercharging your services. If you look on sites such as craigslist and gumtree, typically it costs about $50 to get someone to help reinstall software and other menial tasks and more if there is a hardware issue that requires hardware replacement it will cost at least 75 dollars. It costs more when you go to places like circuit city and best buy. To make your services more attractive you can advertise on such sites and also make sure the amount of time that you use to fix the computers are less than one would have to wait if one was to go to circuit city. Good luck!!
Answer2:Dear Frend!!you should take into account that how much is ur transportation charges, if u go for fixing the problem of individuals who are far away from u.furthermore, u should ask other technicians that how much they charge for fixing the same problem.then u shuld fix a price for urself that this amount should i charge to persons who are near and this amount should i charge to those who are far away.
