I do this with friends and family all the time, this was the first referral from a friend. She told me it was well worth the amount she paid me and now that she found me she knows she will be contacting me again.

Good info, Jim.
If the person you are assisting trusts you, you can also use
programs/services like gotomyPC.com or logmein.com to actually control the
person's computer remotely and do all the work for them. I do this fairly
routinely for several family and friends and it works very well. They can
see what you are doing and take over at any time.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Make extra money from home ideas
If anyone is looking for ideas to make a little extra money, here is
something I did recently.
I helped a friend setup his new notebook (remove unneeded junk,
install Office, etc) and transfer his files over from his old pc. He
referred me to someone else who needed help doing the same thing.
With friend's computers I had them here at house. With the other
person we did the whole thing remotely. We used Skype screen share so
I can watch her screen and I just instructed her what to do: Setup
Outlook with Gmail IMAP; Pair her Blackberry to her notebook
bluetooth; Add her music library to iTunes. Simple things to do if
you have done it before or just know where to look. For this she paid
me $35/hr for 4 hrs of assistance.
