When computer data is lost as a result of computer viruses, hard drive failure or calamitous events such as house fires, earth quakes, floods, etc., the consequences to people’s lives can range from serious inconvenience to disastrous. These days, personal computers are used to store family photos, financial obligations and legal information as well as for study (research and assignments) and work (reports, research and confidential information). This information is often irreplaceable.
Consequently, most people will acknowledge that they need to back up their computer files. Unfortunately, if they lose data as a result of fire or other physical damage to the computer, they will probably also lose their backups if they are stored at the same location. This is why storing your backups off-site is so important. However, it is not so easily done and the discipline required to run a back up and take it somewhere else regularly can mean that it just doesn’t happen.
Furthermore, many people are just not computer literate so they wouldn’t even know how to back up their computer even if they wanted to. This makes for a great business opportunity for you because people are willing to pay for necessary services in areas they don’t understand. If you were to offer a mobile back-up service using an external CD or DVD-writer and charge for backing up crucial data and storing it off-site for clients you can create a regular income from regular monthly payments for your service.
While online back up services exist that people can use to protect their data, they tend to be very expensive. You can market your services as reasonably priced, hands on, reliable and secure. Emphasise the risk of data loss and business will quickly flow in. You can advertise through the local press, small business organisations and local flyers to start with. There is such a need for data protection given the increasing use of home computers for personal as well as business information that if you offer good customer service and a reasonable price, business should start coming in almost immediately.
