Hi Bill:

Have you canvased your area to see what other businesses are offering? You'll want to do that first. You'll also want to find out their pricing.

I think offering classes on how to use the internet and just simple computer training would be a really great service. Maybe you could go to people's homes where they are already comfortable. I've dealt with a lot of customers that are not tech savvy at all - for example, they do not know how to resize images, do not know how to find files in their own computer, etc. So, I know that market is there. But, given the current ecomony, I do not know that you can earn enough money to keep a brick and mortar store open.

Have you considered just starting your own website for now offering some services to see how it goes before you dive into paying monthly rent? You could try to drum up business by using craigslist.

Best of luck!! :)
