Since we live in an area with a lot of elderly people maybe I should start a tech help service 🤔

"Nerd At Home" or something, like the student one but better and cheaper!
Question however.. how do we reach such people, paper perhaps?
@stux very good idea! You might want to reach out to nursing homes and care services. And their kids may be interested in having help for their elderly parents.

Old people are the best customers of chemist/pharmacy shops too, if there's a bulletin board for your poster. -

@stux couple of folks in my area (Felixstowe UK, primary retirement zone!) run ads in the local community magazine, one gives talks at social clubs too.

@stux Hmm-m. Are they driving the cheap cars? Do they have the cheap laptops?
Then why would they hire cheap techs?
@McHollander Hmm good point
I’m pretty sure we’re the poor ones here lol

@stux yeh, letterbox drops, maybe even door knocking. I did it for a while with businesses in my home town, just hit the footpath, and make connections

@stux yes, leafleting, and include email, sms, and signal addresses and proudly advertise "we are not on whatsapp"...

@stux some of them are very active on that toxic cesspool of a social media that's Nextdoor. Or maybe some of them are part of a WhatsApp powered spying ring. You just need to find the one person who knows how to add people to the buurtapp

@stux That wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption, unlike your assumption that making actual money for your labour is somehow robbing.

@stux ja Hallo.

, Treffpunkten von alten Menschen viel Glück. lg Margret -

@stux Look for seniors’ groups to get started. I volunteer with a senior group that has drop-in tech workshops regularly.

@stux Ik weet niet of briefjes in de supermarkt nog een ding zijn, maar dat lijkt me ook nog een optie.

@stux Visit in person. Once 1-2 people know your service, word spreads fast. But be aware: while a great service, the effort to money payment ratio in this business is low. However the effort / good memories ratio is very high.

@stux @McHollander Seniors come in all kinds (when it comes to money). I didn’t set out to make money when I started volunteering with seniors, but some feel better paying me, so I don’t say no.

@stux Mooi initiatief. Ik las dit artikel kortgeleden, is misschien ook in jouw nieuwe buurt https://dvhn.nl/groningen/alle-ouderen-in-de-groningse-thuiskamer-wonen-op-zichzelf.-gezelligheid-vinden-ze-bij-elkaar-elke-week-48951152.html Sommigen zijn voor iedereen te bezoeken, dus misschien even je neus laten zien is genoeg. Zoek naar "huiskamer" of "thuiskamer".
