Heres what I was thinking...

Computer service/IT people here in Sydney (from my observations) charge $100/hr for their services... this is practically $100 in the pocket, as they charge extra for installing software/hardware etc.

So if I were to charge $89/hr for my services (most will only take maybe 15min to 45min) I can afford to maybe give $40 in commission to folks who recommend my services. I have full confidence in my customer service ability and actually providing the said service.

There are few things I need to get done first before I start. ie: website, business cards. (thats about it). Rest is working slowly on marketing.
