5.) Information search

We live in the Information age and it's called so for a good reason. Businesses and individuals need information for various purposes. It could be a student who is looking for information for his research paper, or a business trying to find all available consumer data to develop the right product. Sometimes they don't have time for Internet research or don't know how to conduct it properly. If you are good at finding information on line, you can help them and male some money. It would be helpful if you know how to conduct off line research as well such as libraries and archives.

6.) Computer classes

As I mentioned before, there are still many people who are computer illiterate. Some of them would like to change that and need a good teacher to help them learn basic computing, how to browse the Internet and so on. Continuing education programs, senior and community centers are your potential clients.

You should visit several second hand stores in your area to see what is available for sale. It is also helpful to ask salesmen about specials.

7.) Web site development

Professional web site development companies are expensive. Many small businesses need just a few page overview web sites with description of their services, photos, hours of operation and directions. They don't want to overpay for some flashy web site with features they don't really need. If you can build quality modern web sites, there is a demand for your services.

8.) Organizing PC data

Some businesses and individuals struggle to maintain their computer data such as text files, important Emails and spreadsheets in proper order. You can perform a valuable service by determining their needs and organizing their data into logical system of folders, and small databases such as MS Access and MS Excel.
