Help the Disabled

Description: The disabled have many special needs, some of which modern technology can fill. The computer can be a great equalizer. Voice recognition and synthesis systems can aid with disabilities. Computer control systems can automate many physical activities in the home and office such as opening doors, preparing food, and moving about. Those with learning disabilities can be helped with computer tutorials since they can be tailored to individual needs and used repeatedly. In fact, the computer can aid those with many types of disabilities, both mental and physical. You can use your expertise to help these people lead productive and normal lives by introducing them (or those who care for them) to the computer.

Clientele: Anyone with a disability of any kind can often be helped, even if it is in a small way, by modern technology. Since the computer is so versatile it can be used in a variety of ways, either with special hardware or software. You can help these people directly or offer your services to care facilities.

Computer Businesses

Computer can be used for both fun and learning at the same time. There is a wide variety of educational software available, often dressed up to look like a simple game, which you can use. Since the classes are held at summer camp consider using the computer to teach outdoor skills such as how to recognize different types of plants and animals. For example, how to identify a Douglas Fir Tree in British Columbia or an armadillo in Texas.

Marketing: Send a letter of introduction to the administration of summer camps and groups such as the Scouts or church organizations. You may not make much money in this business (in fact many special camp instructors are volunteers) but you should find it quite rewarding.

Match Students with Loans and Scholarships

Description: It has been, and probably always will be, true that students are chronically underfunded. The costs of higher education continue to rise while government subsidy payments rarely keep pace with inflation. The results include an increase in tuition fees and/or a cutback in services. Yet there are many special scholarships and bursaries available for students, especially those that meet certain criteria established by the bursary’s trust fund (such as being a member of a minority of having high marks). The problem is the students usually have no way of knowing about these sources of revenue. You can provide a loan and scholarship matching service that maintains an up-to-date database of all possible funding for students, and attempt to match available funds to students in need.

Clientele: Just about every student can use a few extra dollars, even if it’s in the form of a low-interest loan until graduation, so there is no lack of clients for you. You could also offer your services to the counselors at the college or university. They are often so busy due to under staffing that they do not have time to track down all possible avenues of student funding. You can work for them on a contractual or part-time basis.

Making Money with your Home Computer

Requirements: All you need for this business is a willingness to help those with special needs. Any computer and skills you have can be put to good use, whether it is just using the computer to play games with young children, as an electronic tutor, or as a care aid.

Marketing: This is not really a business, although you could market it that way to private care facilities. A better use of your time and skills would come from volunteering your services to some of the many needy charity and disabled aid organizations in your area. Send a letter or place a telephone call to any one of these groups and see if they could use the unique kind of help you can offer.

Computer Camps

Description: These days summer camps include more than just learning how to start a camp fire and paddle a canoe. There are many activities that the children can take part in, and one of the most unique is learning how to use computers. Since the setting for this “classroom” is a rural campsite, the mood is naturally informal and one of the goals is to have fun while learning. You can teach groups of children how to use computers for learning math skills, reading and writing, and just playing games.

Clientele: Your customers will be the people responsible for running summer camps, especially those that organize the children’s activities. However, you could say your direct clients would be the children themselves – they will be the ones benefiting from your instruction.

Requirements: Since you will be working with children you should be comfortable with them, be able to handle a large group of youngsters, and most importantly be able to show that the computer can.

How to Make Money with Your Home Computer

Requirements: If you will be altering existing classrooms to computerize them, you will need extensive  knowledge of networks and control systems. If you are using the equipment as a teaching aid all you need is a little imagination to use this new technology to its fullest.

Marketing: Advertise in business and education or academic magazines. Send a letter of introduction to businesses and educational facilities in your area or visit them personally and explain your services to them. If you have already given previous computer-aided lectures, have one video-taped and show it to them along with student reactions to the new technology and the effect it had on their learning.

Computer-Aided Lectures

Description: To reach a large audience in various locations (perhaps scattered all over the globe), many large corporations use computer technology. The students watch their computer screens or share a central video monitor and they can interrupt and ask questions. The audio ad video is transmitted live to each participating classroom. You may not be able to set up such an advanced classroom, but you can use your computer as a teaching aid. Instead of overhead slides or a chalk board, you display your lecture material to the classroom, either on computer monitors (if the class is equipped with a network) or projected on a screen (like an overhead projector). The advantage is that the lecture can include text, graphics, audio, and video as enhancements instead of the traditional chalk on a blackboard. You can work through examples, give exams, and take attendance, all from the computer.

Clientele: Businesses or schools, colleges, and universities wishing to improve their teaching facilities are potential customers. You can either provide them with the plans and technology to set up a computerized classroom or (if they are already equipped) use their facilities to give computer-aided lectures.

Education and Teaching

Computers are a boon in education. They allow students to learn at their own pace, not the middle ground, set by the instructor, between advanced students and those with special needs. Computers also provide opportunities for innovative teaching techniques.

Many of the business opportunities for education are extremely profitable, but this part of this book is not developed solely to making money. Teaching new skills or helping those with special needs is rewarding in itself. The computer is a powerful tool to help in this worthy cause. The “Consulting” and “Writing” sections have related ideas.
