Answer 1

Ummm....Great idea! But why restrict yourself to New York?

I mean - if a Dentist can offer his services across the country or a local paving contractor can do business in the Far East - your services should also be doable beyond New York - Right?

Just as an aside: it would appear from your handle and your bio that you are a very creative person. I think you can do more than simple typing. Keep a weather-eye open for some really great avenues to explore....as in:

Answer 2

Most people know how to type, use the computer, etc. I once had a home typing business. I was busy. This was back in the day when we were allowed plaster the city with flyers, which is now illegal. I was fortunate to have a client that kept me busy. Go the colleges in your area and ask if you can put up flyers. Many college students don't have time or interest in typing their own assignments.

Answer 3

Students are probably the best market. The only problem there is that most of them now probably compose their papers on a computer, rather than writing them out by hand. If you're really good at grammar, you might consider offering to clean up grammatical errors in their papers.

Answer 4

Girls who have just finished school who need to brush up on their skills. Try to work with job centres or perspective employers to offer them an office job once they have done your course

Answer 5

The home typing network.
