With those prices you will struggle to stay open. I worked in a place with similar values. If they didn't have a small fortune to run on they would have closed after the first year. Good luck but I'd suggest to try and squeeze as much as you can out of people while still making them a better offer than the other companies or you will never be able to support yourself.

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.

You'll also be the cheapest thing available, meaning you'll be perceived as the cheapest and shittiest.

That's blind robbery! And yes, you need to get your own domain for professionalism

Some call it "stupidity tax", and that's a quote from someone that started such a business.

Program Installation $40.00. $40.00 to press an install button?
Hardware Installetion $75.00, What hardware is that? Like a server or a supercomputer hardware? I woudn't pay more than $20.00.
Setting up Email $25.00??? Anyone can do that for free and alone!!!

OK, maybe I don't understand what are those prices fro exactly, so explain a little more!
Otherwise I don't see why do you want so much money for such easy things. I am an engineer and I am doing these "jobs" for free to everyone who asks me (and if I have a little free time of curse).

Setting up an email involves setting up the MX record, setting up forwarding, setting up POP, etcetc but than again these are pretty simple task for most people who has the common sense to Google how to do it and I wouldn't exactly pay someone who doesn't even use their own email to do this for me.

You better not let them watch as you create their email account, or there is no way you are getting that 25 bucks lol

But you wouldn't exactly be his target clients so I don't see how it matters what you find easy or not. You charge what people are willing to pay.

I agree with that.

And the deffinition of a fair price : it's the price that people are willing to pay for it.

The problem is that most people knows how to transfer file from one PC to another. They do.

Say I am a potential customer who wants something more complicated, say setting up a wifi network ay home, and I saw his ad which he charges 30 dollars for transferring files..... there is no way I would ask him, because his ad seems to suggest his services are way too expensive.

There are no clients for this tasks. Everyone can ask a friend or two and there is DEFINATELY one that will know how to do all those things. It's not science!

And most of this services have user friendly enviroments so that anyone can do it by himself and not paying ridiculus amounts of money to people like this one, who thinks that making e-mails is something unique!

I am an engineer myself, and I help people (with even harder tasks than those) for free, and I am not exploiting people for easy tasks.

So all these businesses based around this are fake and just there to troll you, right >-<?

There are clients for this and just because you devote your time to people for free doesn't mean others do as well. There are also people who repair cars for free, but that doesn't mean that there are no clients for car workshops...
Also, personal anecdote is not really a proof.

You can call it a scam, you can call it overprized but as long as there are people willing to pay 50 bucks to copy your phots from a USB stick to their HDD people will base businesses around it.
