$250 An Hour Doing Work Best Buy Is Backing Away From

📝 An appliance store owner explains why Best Buy’s Geek Squad doesn’t work so well nowadays…

Great idea in 2002 when there were only a couple smart companies to learn. Now its overwhelming and they lack training locally.

The geek squad is failing and their trying to push off their services onto their delivery crews. And these delivery crews are meat heads that dont own any of the tech themselves past a smart phone and a big TV.

Checks out: Best Buy laid off Geek Squad field agents back in 2024 and has been shifting support to AI.

🤑 The prices haven’t moved though. Best Buy still charges $180-250 to mount and set up a TV, and hiding the wires inside the wall costs extra.

A handyman who does this work reckons a beginner clears $100 an hour. He gets $200-$250 himself.

I own a small business in this exact niche. Easy money if you’re technologically adept and have basic social skills. Make sure to price higher than your competitors.

We featured Sina Omosowon doing exactly this at $30K/month – every client came from a Thumbtack profile.

Take the cheap jobs first, then price up once the reviews land 👍
