Palatka, FL. Some major magazine rated it in the top 10 worst cities to ride out the recession. Wal-Mart isn't really hiring it's that bad.

There are only 3 places doing computer repair in Palatka, FL. there are only a little more then 3000 competing pages in Google for that phrase. How are you not able to dominate that area for your business? Also palatkacomputerrepair.com is available! Hell just putting in a Google business listing should get you enough business to pay your mortgage or whatever .

One of the computer shops, the one I worked for, is currently the market leader by far. They have good store placement and have been in operation for about 6 years.

I can't really afford to start a shop right now. Like I said, I tried a mobile repair business that failed, and it failed because I lacked the credibility of a store front.

I decided to go back to the call center for long enough to pay off our credit card debt and buy me a decent daily driver. I don't want to go into business with a heavy debt load, and that's what I'd be doing if I tried it now. I can work my hours around being able to do mobile repair, so I can start the business on the side without having to borrow any money, at least to begin with.
