Quick tips/tricks collection?

[Mr. Ingram's Computer Repair & Shoppe]

So I am looking at getting my facebook out of the grave-yard. Looking at posting little Windows/computer tricks/tips. Curious if there is already a collection I can harvest from somewhere out in the world, or if I will need to grind a list together?

Too many tips and tricks might help a potental client fix the issue without you.

Too late now, as it has disappeared, but 'Kelly's Corner' was a goldmine...

Keyboard shortcuts are always good for quick tips that appear useful, actually are useful, and not harmful to your revenue stream. You could do one tip a day and go for quite a while. Some quick googling should get you a few dozen to get started with. There are apps that will automate posting as well, so you could spend an afternoon and input a month's worth of posts, then code them to go out one-per-day.

I find it wordy for a Facebook post, I am looking for more of 3 to 8 bullet points. Nothing more than 1 paragraph.

Thanks though!

Yes... but that mean's they'll come to me when they REALLY can't fix it and I can rake it in even harder...

looked at it with the WAY BACK machine... looks cool but it's all XP stuff... Pretty much what I want to do but with Win10.

This... This is pretty much what I am looking for.
Simple tricks we all use that are super helpful, but aren't so good that I render myself useless...
Gotta find that happy middle ground!

render myself useless...

Some days getting out of bed does that.

No...They'll just turn to Youtube and get a step by step video (which your going to obligingly provide on your Youtube channel) of what they were doing so they can do it right!

We use Bryce's newsletters as well. Although you need to complement that with shorter more personal content as well.

• Recognizing phishing and malicious email when it makes it through filters.
• The importance of backup ("We can provide this, but even if you're not getting it through us you need to do something like this")
• Recognizing scam sites (and those annoying "your computer is infected blah blah blah") and handling them appropriately.
  
• A gentle intro to online storage (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud?)
• Sharing files and photos with family members
• Simple formatting in Word, Google Docs or other word processors (heading levels, bulleted/numbered lists, margins, indentation, simple tables, etc.)
• Simple formatting and other operations in Excel, Google Sheets or other spreadsheets (cell borders, backgrounds, fonts, word wrapping, page margins, basic calculations, basic formulas)

Most of this is stuff that's user training, but not something that people are going to bring their computer to you for. A bunch of these could be repeated every week with slight variations just to drill it home, and some of the others have a bunch of different possible areas that you could explore a bit.

I know you already said that you wanted really short stuff @Mr. Ingram's Computer Repair & Shoppe , but to you and others reading this: We've covered a lot of the stuff suggested by @fencepost . So if you do want to send out articles like that, which dont steal the job but instead encourage one, yet you dont have the time to write them. We've got you covered.

That brings calls and customers in. $$
