The Number One IT Employment Option for A Network Administrator

If you're a computer professional with the skills to maintain a small business network... and you're considering the IT employment options available to you, I urge you to consider the following...

An Independent Computer Consultant who supports small businesses will have greater income potential, stronger job security, greater options for technical and professional growth and much more freedom with your time than with just about any other IT Job available.

The key to success in building a successful Independent computer consulting practice is to operate on the managed support model, where you provide flat-rate service for proactive monitoring and remote support.

Supporting small businesses affords a computer consultant with a steady, regularly recurring stream of revenue.

Small businesses rely heavily on their computer systems for the daily operations of their company and therefore are more than willing to pay a fair price to have the systems properly maintained.

With the monitoring technologies available today, you will be able to monitor your clients systems around the clock, with instant alerts sent to you via email or SMS messaging for literally pennies a day.

By receiving early alerts to any problems that arise, such as failed backups, failed software updates, faulty hardware, etc., you will be able to prevent problems from escalating to the point of disaster... keeping your clients functioning more reliably and keeping you from spending countless hours doing reactive repair work.

The remote support utilities available to you today are also extremely affordable, allowing you to address most of the daily occurring issues instantly, from just about anywhere you have access to the Internet. This instant level of support keeps your clients functioning with minimal downtime and keeps their satisfaction levels at maximum.

If you're starting a consulting business and operating on the correct, flat-fee billing model, your monthly revenue will be generated for keeping things running smoothly, rather than the old hourly-rate model where you only made money if things were breaking (and your clients were suffering). And you no longer have to worry about having a "slow month". On a flat-rate model, the slower, the better... for both you and your clients.

If you're properly monitoring your clients and supporting them remotely, the amount of actual weekly support work will be minimal, allowing you to generate a reliable, full-time income while working part-time hours. Because the work-load is easily managed, you can scale up at your own pace, essentially making your maximum income level limitless.

And let's not forget about the fact that you'll be making the recommendations to your clients as to what technology would best benefit them. Therefore, you have unlimited options as to the systems, peripherals and software you will be able to gain exposure to, continuously increasing your own personal technical knowledge-base.

When considering the IT employment options available to you, it's hard to imagine any other job where you could have the freedom, growth and financial potential that you could have by becoming your own boss running your own computer consultant practice.
