Any suggestions would be helpful. </p>Anitra Smith commented on 'Make Money by Providing Services'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e201116861273e970c2009-02-13T20:26:32Z2009-02-13T20:26:32ZAnitra Smithhttp://anitrasmith.netMy favorite mundane task is making website updates or other computer "busywork" that doesn't require much brainpower.

I do design work, too, but that requires 100% of my attention.</p>

<p>This economy could be very advantageous for your line of work. Consider that people may be buying less computers but wanting older ones to last longer. Also, businesses may be cutting back on internal IT support staff. While they may be decreasing full time staff they are rarely decreasing their need for reliable technology.</p>
<p>I know a good number of people who provide on-call technical support for businesses. They have started by branding themselves as an "after hours" tech support freelancer and turned it into a full time gig as it grew. Granted, it can be stressful crossing that Jordan, but I wouldn't let this economy discourage you at all.</p>Duane commented on 'Make Money by Providing Services'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2011278d6f8ca28a42009-02-13T19:05:52Z2009-02-13T19:05:52ZDuanerdub98, This economy could be very advantageous for your line of work.
