Default A Few Questions About the Start Your Own Computer Repair Business

I have a few questions. It mentions that a free website is included, is there a demo of the website so I can see it? Beyond the cost of the course, what other expenses will I have to get up and running (i.e. Windows copies, tools, hardware, etc.). What would be my total cost to be up and running efficiently?

Thanks in advance!

Your probably better playing it one step at a time. It wont cost you a fortune. A few hundred at the outset maybe. If I can make a meager sum of money doing manual labor and make things work so can anyone with the right initiative and dedication. Depends how much you are willing to put into your work really. The program is topnotch as I have it. If your serious about creating your own site you will be spooning out money periodically, but if you know what to do in advance which the programs teach you, you'll have a better edge to take the bull by the horns. Good Luck in your efforts
Bottomline: it is definitely affordable.

I'm not sure about the website thing but if you do start one I can help with the website if you like.

I just did not want to have to spend a lot on a website. A lot of PC repair websites are pretty bad, so I was just wondering what this looked like. Do you develop web sites?

You would not need external hard drives, copies of Windows XP, Vista, and 7 in case you need to reinstall it on someone's system that is missing their discs? It seems like it would easily cost thousands to get adequately prepared, but maybe there is less involved. Does this course include Windows discs (not the serials, just the discs)? I know of another course on eBay that says it comes with the Windows OS discs, which seems to be something very important.

There are ways of getting hold of the discs, if your buying stuff on ebay i would be very carefull, check what exactly your getting, if you just take windows seven you need three discs retail, 32bit oem and 64bit oem to be able to install all of the versions, same with vista, then theres xphome and pro that adds up to 12 discs at say £100 average price adds up to over a grand, 7 is still pretty new ive yet to see a bought and paid for version, so most of the time you can get away with 32bit oem copies of vista and xphome, that will cover 99% of of the reinstalls or repairs at moment.

post a link to the ebay thing let us check it out see if its legit.
