My main business is web development and multimedia authoring but it will take time for money to come in and this kind of business is not good for cash flow.
As a side line I have thought about offering a local WIFI installation service. I could upgrade older laptops/desktops to 802.11b, 11g etc, install access points and make sure the correct security and encryption is in place (too many people who go DIY on this don't bother/know how to do security).
I am going to do some leaflets and target some of the more expensive areas of Manchester. I just wondered if people thought there would be demand, for £100 inc labour I could supply an access point, two adaptors, provide basic training, user manuals and a warranty. I would make about £50 profit on that.
Customers will be able to get a live quote on the website by filling in the details. The website will also explain in plain english the differences between the various 802.11 standards.
Just two or three customers a week will be enough to get me off the dole
but I know getting these customers will be hard which means a lot of pre-marketing which means I would have to get off the dole when I have zero income.
Test marketing will cost me around £50 including the website and leaflets (I can use my parents print facilities).
