Computer Tutoring

Another great work from home idea is computer and internet tutoring.

If you have half way decent computer skills, you may be successful at start offering home based computer tutoring to those who are not as computer savvy as you.

There are many people, of all ages, but primarily 30+ who have heard of the great benefits and information available through their computers and the Internet. By offering to tutor these people in your home or theirs, you will be opening the doors for them to a whole new world.

Be careful of zoning laws if you offer to tutor in your home and not theirs, as you may have some neighbors who think they are the king and queen of the neighborhood and it is their duty to report you for operating a business from your home which is in a residential area. There are those type of people, we have two living across from us.

You could advertise this business with flyers that could be posted at the library, post office, grocery store, senior centers or anywhere they allow free posting of bulletins or even low cost, small classified ads should bring you an ongoing number of prospects for this work from home idea. You could also contact various organizations that provide information and services to the every growing senior citizen population.

Yes, there are many books on how to get started using a computer and/or the Internet, but most people are visual beings and they like to have someone there who can point out things that will help them and it is much easier to learn in this manner than from a book.

If you do not live in a highly zoned area, you may evolve your computer tutoring business into classes for small numbers of people. This might require some investment on your part for overhead projector's etc. but that is all part of a growing business.

This is a great work from home idea that anyone who is reading this should be computer savvy enough to offer to someone who is not.
