Free Computer Consultant Tip-Of-The-Week for July 31, 2009

"You Know What That Means"

Summer is over. Might as well be, anyway.

On the one hand, the cooler weather means we haven't had to run
the money gobbling air conditioner that much (although the utility
bill I just received doesn't seem to reflect that), but it has not
been that great for swimming.

And now, with August upon us, you know what that means.

All of the kids want a new computer for school. Not that they NEED
one, they just WANT one.

One college student I know had a VERY nice 1 year old Dell laptop
but managed to corral her mother into the Apple store and
walked out with a new MacBook (she already had an iPhone).

Youth just don't seem to get the bad economy thing.

Here is some help on my website for those in the market:

And my eBook to get you the best computer for the price:

Get the old one working again
-----------------------------

For those of you who think the old PC is perfectly good but
would like to see it perform better (perhaps because said
child has it full of "malware" and "gunkware") -

As I mentioned last week, re-imaging is really catching on.

It isn't free, but it's a lot cheaper than hiring someone like
me or the geek-squad (boy do I have a story there - another time).

Beating the dead horse

I know I never get much response on this, but many of you may
have heard of Gary North. He has a website on economics, etc.,
but he many times will give "life tips".

This week he mentioned a friend of his with a business that
just burned to the ground. No off-site backups.

(Yes, this stuff really happens; I haven't been making it up!)

Guess what Gary was suggesting? Online Backup Services.

I have also written about hiding your IP address online.

Here is Your BONUS (Reprise)
------------------

For all of you working with me on the 4 Day Money Making Blueprint
I have the first edition of your BONUS ready for you.

Unfortunately, You have to contact me to get it. Please do so
using the contact form on my website. Apparently it is in the
"gray area" of CAN SPAM to just send it to you.

For those of you sitting on the fence about generating a
consistent, sustainable income online let me just say that we
are seeing results already and

summer is a slow buying season for almost everything, unless you
are selling to the vacation crowd.

That means that not only will sales pick up in the fall, but if
you get your learning and practice out of the way during the slow
season, you are ready to rock in high gear when customers
are in a buying mood come September.

Take a look at the 4 Day Money Making Blueprint here:

Until next time...
