So, I have really been thinking about how I can make a virtual income while my fiance works his full time job. We only have one car and I don't want to have to be moving the RV everyday. This is what I came up with:<br /><br />Offering a service that will scan and transfer people's photos and documents to CD's for permanent storage or to a USB device. Most people want to do stuff like this but don't necessarily have the time. There are services that will do it but they are very expensive, if I only charge 50% of what they charge I might be able to make some good money.<br /><br />I am also very good with computers (not repairs) and thought about also offering to type documents for people - maybe family recipes into a cookbook, I can write legal briefs and other various documents.<br /><br />Another thing I was thinking of is that I could transfer people's home movies to DVD. Walmart charges $22 to tranfer a 2 hour tape to DVD without any special graphics, I could do it for half of that. The benefit would be that it could run while I am out of the RV doing other things, like maybe workcamping. It doesn't take alot of equipment - I would already have the laptop for other things, just need a flat-bed slim line scanner (which I will also need for personal use) and something to play the video tapes on to transfer to the DVD burner.<br /><br />I can also offer virutal bookkeeping services as I was a company comptroller and am familiar with most types of accounting software. I also have experience with transitioning a company from manual accounting to computerized and most of this can be done with remote hookup (although I am not sure how many people are still manual, this could be a dead avenue).<br /><br />What do you all think? Does anyone have any other suggestions for something that will keep me close to the RV and not need a car?<br /><br />
