Your friends and family will flock to you with their computer problems. While you love them and will gladly help them, you should never do it for free. Here are five very important reasons why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. You\u2019ll Be Expected to Do It Forever<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you fix a friend\u2019s computer for free one time, you can bet that friend will come to you every time their computer breaks for the rest of your lives. They\u2019ll come back to you, and they won\u2019t expect to pay anything because they didn\u2019t have to before. If you do it once, you\u2019re expected to do it again. If you do try to charge in the future, your friend will whine about it. Even if they pay, they\u2019ll feel like you cheated them somehow, as unfair as that is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You\u2019ll Be Expected to Do It for Everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you fix one friend or family member\u2019s computer for free, what standards do you have for charging everyone else? If you don\u2019t make things even across the board, someone will get their feelings hurt. You\u2019ll be showing favoritism by doing it for free for one friend and not the next. Even if you aren\u2019t advertising your services, you can bet your friend will tell another that if they need their computer fixed, you\u2019ll do it for free. Don\u2019t start a trend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowstalk.org\/2012\/04\/five-reasons-you-should-never-fix-a-computer-for-free\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from Windows Talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fix.jpg\" alt=\"5 reasons you should never fix a pc for free\" title=\"5 reasons you should never fix a pc for free\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-30740\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you know how to fix a broken computer, people with broken computers think you\u2019re some kind of god.
