I'm glad you made this thread; I'm actually looking at doing the same thing for some extra money. If you live in small town, consider putting an ad in your local newspaper. For you guys that are already repairing computers, can you PM me a full pricing list?

Here is my flyer with name removed. As if that was a big deal anyway. But that is what i have so far. Im still working on the edges of it and such because it looks very plain. the colors are also not final. 
 
It still needs some text editing. As in text size, fonts etc. Organization can make it look 20 times better as well. I hate rough drafts. haha.
 
I just discovered Shapes! Pow box (like in comic books) added behind the main title. Maybe i should give it an overall theme....

1) I like the layout.  It's eye catching and has all the information I need to know before I call you.
2) It has some trust issues.  Coming from the side of a client, it seems fly-by-night, I think mostly because of the clip-art.  If you're young, I think it will pass, and I'm not familiar with your area so it could be fine otherwise (You said it was a small town, but if you were living in a big city I'm not sure I would call on one of these flyers unless it was posted up on my college bulletin board).

Not sure I fully understand why it's "untrustworthy". Maybe because I'm sick, and just not processing things very well today.

His opinion. Nothing wrong with that. I agree it needs work too. It looks good to you though? lol 

Anyone else have opinions about it? What could make it better etc.?

previous post updated to show i added a few shapes. XD

I think it needs some work, just I didn't understand the "untrustworthy" part, if anything the cartoonish look makes me think of something not serious.

if it makes you happy that all that matters.

go to best buy, office max, office depot, frys, electronics and any other local established computer repair shop and see what their prices, turn around time and warranty on services are.
 

1. Don't overwhelm yourself with work
2. track and log all of your customers and their items (customer ID, invoice #, work order #, access database/label maker works wonders)
3. You must be certain on prices and timing
4. If you make in-home calls be sure to check what the federal compensation is per mile and use that as a basis
5. have several external hard drives handy to backup customer data
6. create a new subnet for your customers devices, do not connect them on the same network as your home devices

I guess number six is a bit much but that's what i did just to make sure i didnt get a worm
 

I do a flat rate for a lot of my stuff.  I have a hard time justifying to them hourly when they see me sitting twiddling my thumbs and eating their food .
 
$50 - $75 - general/long but easy tasks
$75 - $150 - rebuilds/degunks/etc
$150+ - You screwed it up really bad/I told you not to do that and now I have to fix it again.
 
Disclaimer: I do it for pocket change mostly, so prices are low and sometimes I barter/trade with the people.
