Hi guys,

So I have been building and repairing PC's on a small scale for years and have always loved it.

Trying to ramp it up and looking for thoughts and ideas through community to get things rolling!

Be seeing you round everyone!

Hi, Sorry, been away for the Xmas period.

I am Tauranga based. Doing the FB page thing - but without paying quite a bit, that is SLOW going...

Doing work for community organisations can be a good way of getting business.

My old job was running my own Mobile PC repair business in the Gold Coast hinterland.

I ended up doing a job at one retirement village with 120 homes. The guy I did the job for was on the residents committee and I ended up doing work for 40 of the residents in the development.

In the area I lived there were a lot of retirees and in the end I didn't need to advertise as the personal referrals gave me more work than I could fit into a normal week.

I was the repairer of choice for the members of garden club, RSL, two churches, two retirement communities, Rotary and the local community care organisation.

No, I decided on moving back to New Zealand to go to Uni and get a formal degree.

I basically think that in the coming years more people will abandon laptops and desktops for tablets and smartphones.

I decided to jump ship while I could and avoid becoming the modern equivalent of a typewriter repairman. :)
