As you've already had experience of tutoring people to use their
machines then why not try offering that as a service. Don't advertise
directly to the elderly - any of those with nous have already been to
the library or adult education courses - and the rest won't want to pay.
Yes, this is a business model with too many flaws, for one there are a
lot of cheap, and free, courses available.
So, target their children instead. :-) I'd start with an advert that
reads: "Do your parents expect you to be their IT suppoort? Then let me
do it for you. Buy them an hour's tutoring in the comfort of their own
home on their own machine for just £xx"
Perhaps just enough of an 'angle' to get you going.
Unfortunately, I have a very good personal reason for not wanting to do
that. Thanks anyway.
