Fixing boards is a piece of cake. Getting people to walk in the door is a nightmare.

for me it's easy, open a store in the east village of Manhattan, where there's NOTHING but bars, surrounding new school & NYU dorms. So you combine kids away from home for the first time, with parents that can afford to send them to these expensive ass schools, who can afford to buy them $3000 laptops.... with a bunch of places that don't card you when you're buying liquor... this results in a ton of burned up beer filled macbooks
this is something you gotta answer for yourself. a lot of it is finding a niche and exploiting it.
I bought a macbook to finish a session i was working on for a studio that was closing. it came broken, because ebay sucks. I fixed it, then sold it when i no longer needed it, and noticed profit. iInever wanted to work on laptops for a living. This whole thing was a sad accident.

thank you for your reply master , hey my wife hate you lol! , I think my baby girl likes you because she sits on my legs sometimes when I watch your videos anyway thank you for your answer , im going to think how to access to as many college and university students and see if I can profit like that , Im glad about your accident ! without you I belive for many of us will be really really really hard to fix a motherboard , I was studying from a Colombian how to fix cellphones trying to find the cap that heat the most , not knowing each line , no schematic , just checking every single cap for a short , oh man the stuff in your channel is amazing!

Bit of a negative tint to that, but like I have seen you say in you movies, not many people make a firm decision to get into tech.

Like Louis says, find your niche. Get everything you do on Youtube and website etc...
When I started out doing what i do now, after a lot of thinking I worked out - do what everybody else isn't.

I took a swing at Mac board repair because the cheapest alternative for retail clients from Apple is $450+Tax in my country, so I could ask for $250+; and to find a source of income other than from fixing iPhone boards which every shop on every street with a $50 heat gun claims to do. I sought one of the most well established Mac sales and repair shop and purchased from them 7 "irreparable" scrap boards for harvesting parts, only to find that I could fix 6 out of the 7 (7th was original MBA, not worth the time). Suddenly realized that I was the "only" Mac board repair technician in my poor country. A bad one still, but the only one. I'm getting mostly bad VGA which are mostly replaced by Apple for free, pry damage, liquid damage which I am repairing after they have been sodomized by at least 2 different shops and still did not work, power problems, and back-light. Some odd balls also, from time to time.
The first potential clients I contacted are the three most prominent Mac resellers and certified service centers, and offered them wholesale prices. As well as every customer I already know. Next I am thinking about advertising in local ad papers (papers distributed freely to the public, with tons of services and products advertised).
