edit: Anyway, I'd work on making it a little more visually pleasing. It looks like you created this in 5minutes in Word and you are probably cutting off a significant portion of your potential clients. | ||

200$ for doing backup..... Holy fuck lol? That's what you call a rip off if I ever saw one,sweet Jesus. Geek squad knows how to make their paper if these prices are real. | ||

This really looks like it came right out of the typewriter... I bet you'd have to pay 50 bucks for a decent enough flyer that will look professional enough to support the cause. But anyway, the comparison idea is good, but I don't think people will pick it up just because of that. Like, why is your work so cheap compared to them? Are you a dumbfuck that doesn't do anything good? Or are you just a fair, local worker that wants to make a business by having fair prices and not scammnig people? (I hope you get the idea, that are no real questions!) | ||

Layout is sort of a mess. Your pricing or savings don't clearly stand out from Geek Squad pricing. It's also probably just better to use percentage for savings instead of actual pricing... it's just too cluttered. There's also no graphics. | ||

b) include information how much you charge for driving (if you don't charge for driving, write that!) c) you should put a phone number on there, if ppl can't use their computer and want your help, they can't send you emails. maybe make it these small rip off things, so they can just take the number+email with them and don't have to write them down themselves. d) move your headers over the respective columns. "My pricing" is above the service names, that's just wrong. other services: configure internet access (set up router etc), secure wlan stuff, computer upgrade advice (like look at it and say "it's gonna be 100 times faster if you get more ram!" x) ), also maybe put stuff up there that people can identify that have absolutely no clue of computers (like "repair internet", because that's what doesn't work you know? ^^) | ||

I'd emphasize the "If I can't fix it, you pay nothing", it's a pretty big selling point. The part about everything I can think of is a little strange, makes you seem kinda amateurish IMO. Also, this is super nit-picky but there shouldn't be a comma after and in the part about contacting. And maybe change the "with what's wrong" because not all of those are problems. Hope that helps, good luck | ||

Like cause they wont look at it? no one reads a white piece of paper with boring typeset(oh look. times new roman. how academic) and lazy layout. try making it interesting and eyecatching. Even a picture of a computer on there will help. As for the information, etc. Your service should be emphasized. Your title needs to be bigger so people can spot it right away. You don't list any credentials. Even if you're self taught, just write "very knowledgable and professional service" or something like that, just to add an air of legitimacy. email me at ___ with whats wrong and a number if you want me to call you. --- this is a syntactical mess. Email me @ ___ or call me @ ___ (some people are more comfortable hiring /asking for help by phone, it needs to be an option) You should provide your number, they never theirs. Instead of the last line, If I can't fix it, you don't pay! (cognitive trick, end sentence with the more appealing option) | ||

And I don't know what you do in "prepare computer for safe use" but most of the viruses come from scams and shady websites you go on so there isn't that much to do, plus if you have a router the default configuration will be to block everything (every port) besides the most crucial ones like port 80. If you want I had another idea for you that could be preety could but could take some skills. Peoples Wifi connections are mostly badly encrypted (when encrypted at all) like WEP, so you could install WPA2-PSK maybe even WPA2-Enterprise for some people that have a router that supports that technology. You could even generete them a random SSID / Passphrase so that it's very difficult to crack and a "Launch Internet" button that would link to an .exe that generated the SSID, the Passphrase and the import the profile in the windows "netsh" command for example. (It was an idea I had a fiew month ago ^^) Maybe you can even help people choose the appropriate computer for their use. | ||

Otherwise, more visual appeal is needed. | ||

Also you should offer cleaning. I know I had at least 2 towers come in a week for those. Working out of home changes a few things I mentioned but the guy I worked for started out of his house too and still couldn't make it profitable from there. | ||

1. A phone/cellphone/business number. This has probably been beaten to death. 2. Visuals. Using one font, and a table showing savings is as simple as it gets. People would wonder if you would issue the same amount of work ethic when it comes to your services. 3. Information overload. I understand you're trying to show the available service that a customer would want to know, but listing the most important problems people deal with is a lot better way to go at it. | ||
