Work-from-home income opportunity for people who can use a computer

Submited by Guest Poster: Dmitry Dragilev of Crossloop

Are you someone who is always giving computer advice? Are you the resident techie in your family? Or are you just so frustrated from trying to make an Excel spreadsheet that you need someone to help you?

Which ever one it is - I think you will find a solution for yourself at Crossloop.

Crossloop is a free screen sharing tool which anybody can use with anybody else. It was started as a free way for families to share their computer screen with each other and help each other with computer problems. This is still possible and it now is a great way for the helpers to earn some extra money.

Here is a great video demo of how this tool works:

Another step in my marketing process

Today I decided to send out mailers offering my Power Point services to law firms in the area. I've had a call this week from a realtor looking to use my services and in the past, I've helped my attorney husband set up presentations.

My method of choosing firms was rather random. I went on an online directory for law firms in the Princeton area. I looked for 1 to 2 name firms, assuming that the larger ones may already have someone they work with or not need assistance.

I printed out the envelopes, with a professional looking return address on it. The flyer (left) I made in Word and tried to model after similar ads I have seen online or in publications.

Who knows where this will lead, but you definitely don't get clients without trying. Who knows!

Stage 2 of my new career: Market Myself

If you read my "new career" post, you know that I am trying a new career but also working to build a new client base for tutoring in the Princeton area. I have my 2nd tutoring job tomorrow where the parent found my business card in town. So today I am venturing out in the Princeton area to post my business cards. I am marketing 2 types of services: Math Tutoring and Computer Tutoring.


My Math Tutoring will hopefully be my main source of income, but since I taught computers for a few years, I can offer that as well. I'm going to hit the most obvious places: food stores, libraries & post offices, but additionally, I will try out small businesses and cafes. I also found some interesting tips online: 1) Send your business cards with your bills and 2) Leave a business card with your tips at restaurants. I'll just have to do that!

If you're interested in designing high quality cards like mine, go to 123print.com and you can choose from hundreds of designs and fonts styles. A batch of 100 cards is about $4 (plus shipping and handling).

Wish me luck!
