Belief

Home users with improperly configured wireless networks are BROADCASTING a need to technical help!  Create a flyer outlying the negitives to running an improperly configured wireless network.  Inform the inhabitants of the house that you scanned them and noticed that they have a serious security flaw.  Usually this is a generic router name with a default password or disabled security keys.  Offer to help configure the network to be more secure and to offer a short training class on how to use wireless securely.  This service should cost between 50-500 dollars depending on configuration and could very well be a lead to more work.

 

If nobody is home it SHOULD be possible to leave them a note and a contact number/email and get callbacks.

This is genious. Likewise, some people walk though really rich parts of town and tell house owners that their landscaping looks bad, and then offer to charge a mere few thousand dollars to fix it up. Apparently it works; what's a few thousand dollars to a rich person? Interesting on the security idea. That'd be a good way to try to get some extra cash here and there.

That is a good one

Also: business to business window washing does REALLY well.

 

Totally need to post 'em onto the fundraising page (i think).
