A lot of people don't know what they don't know, I guess. I am fortunate my customers mostly know when to quit.

For the rest I give them an option to mess with it themselves. If they are lucky, maybe they save a buck or two. If not, I tell I have to not only figure what was wrong in the first place, but repair their mess as well. As you noted, this increases the cost massively. I suggest I look forward to them paying for a trip to Tahiti for me.

You have the disadvantage of trying to compete with free, free, free. Just a demonstration that on the internet nobody knows you're a &^*&^&*^&.

A friend of mine sent me a reminder:

We offer three kinds of work, good, cheap, quick. You can only have two at once.

A cheap, good job will not be quick.
A quick, good job will not be cheap.
A cheap, quick job will not be good.

I was thinking on the conversion end of document scanning for big companies so they can get rid of paper altogether.
