If you have owned a computer for a few years, then you will proberly
 have a large collection of computer software.  Computer software can be
 expensive, so you can earn a regular income by hiring your own software to
 thousands of potential customers at reasonable prices.  Any software is
 suitable; games, adventures, simulations, utilities and even business type
 software such as wordproccessors and spreedsheets.


 FIRST STEPS

     Your first step is to place advertisments in the popular computer
 magazines (List supplied in section 1).  Ask people to send you a stamped
 addressed envelope for full details of your services.  When you get
 enquiries, send back a full catalogue describing all the software that you
 hire and your hire prices.  You can produce the catalogue using a
 typewriter or perhapes a computer printer and then photocopy the master.


 SETTING YOUR PRICES
 ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
      Before setting your prices you must consider how much it is going to 
 cost you to post the software to your customers.  You do not need to send
 the cassette or disk cases.  Only the cassette or disk along with the
 instructions for the software is needed.  This will lower the cost of your
 postage.  It is also a good idea to enclose a pre-paid envelope so that
 your customers can return their hired software back to you when their hire
 period is over.  This will also encourage them to place a further order.  A
 reasonable length of time for a hire period would be 1 week for games and
 perhapes 2 weeks for utilities and business programs as these may require
 more time to learn how to use them.


 REWARDS

      Once you have established a large number of active members you can
 then expect a regular income every week.  This also depends on the amount
 of software you have to hire.  You can also buy new titles out of your
 profits.  Look at the advertisments in the computer magazines for computer
 software at bargin prices.  You can often purchase software which are a few years old,
 for a fraction of their usual prices.  It is also worth looking out for
 software sales in local shops or in the classified ads, as quite often
 whole software collections are sold off as a computer user upgrades to
 another system.
 Hiring computer software is a very rewarding business idea especially if
 you already have a large collection.  Even if you do not it can be a worth
 while venture for you to invest in buying a large collection of software.
 You do not have to stick to one computer.  You can hire software for all
 the popular micro computers.  This can earn you a large profit for a very
 minimum amount of work.

 * NOTE *  Some computer companies strictly forbid their software from being
 hired and some request that you ask them for permission first.  It is wise
 to check ALL the software you plan to hire out to see if it is effected by
 these conditions.
