Keep some some extra cash In case you mess up a camera or make a mistake. Always do right by the customer. I have seen a guy lose tons of business because he messed up my employees back camera, they wanted her to pay For a new one. Everybody loved the new look of her phone, but he lost their business because of her issue.

Try some other ways to monetize it as well. Buy up some broken phones in bulk and flip them.
I did the same with broken XBOX 360 consoles and mod them as well back in the days. To pay for school money

Well that was stupid on his part. He shot himself in the foot on that one. I'm going to start with just screen repairs at first. I'll practice replacing the housing on other phones that people are selling. Hopefully by July or August I'll be doing housing replacements

I know how to fix an iPhone screen in about 30 to 45 minutes. I've done them for family and friends and they keep telling me that I need to start a business. I've had them refer me to their friends too and now I started charging $40 for repair. Do you think I'll do good?

Whether you will do well or not remains to be seen, however I can tell you what the possibilities are.

Real Life Example
After having broken the screen of his iPhone for the 2nd time, an "Apple addicted" friend of mine decided he wasn't sending of his phone "again" because he wanted it fixed and needed it done quick. He managed to negotiate a deal locally for an identical phone being sold for parts.
After some tinkering he had managed to replace the screen. Although he didn't really save any money buying the entire phone, he didn't have to wait days without it either.

He quickly realized the potential volume of people with this same problem, and the value in having a local option for repair. An investment was made into screens, and a few Craiglist posts later he's fixing phones for friends and also strangers. A month later he's launched a business storefront with relatively little advertising. He developed a killer name & logo that associated well between Apple products and his service.
Although his store wasn't anything spectacular, he executed well and did so with a purpose.

All iPhone repairs were done in-house using quality replacement parts allowing him to provide same day service.

• He didn't cut corners by saving money using lower quality screens.
• People constantly had various questions related to Apple products, so he took time and gave people honest answers.
• The end result was building trust in him and his brand.
• He kept current on the various models, issues and needs that Apple owners have.
• No matter what it was that related to iPhone or Apple products, they came to him.

He successfully developed his business as competition grew, by never changing the strategy behind the quality/value he provided.
9 years later he's still in the same location, and has more work than his top 2 competitors combined.
He still follows this same policy as he first wrote it.
(Brand name) offers top notch customer service and support through fast turnarounds and affordable rates for your peace of mind and protection.

In addition to having a steady volume of walk in business, he handles ALL the Apple related repair work for multiple school districts, local comapnies and various organizations. It's common for him to have 200-400 devices dropped off any given day for repair and warranty work.
Needless to say he's done very well and continues to grow.

Will you succeed? That is a matter of what you do and how you choose to do it.
I can tell you there's certainly room for you to do well if you choose to do it right.
I wish you well should you choose to move forward.

Hey man, I recently had a similar idea. How did you learn to replace screens? I'm guessing just off internet tutorials, I can't seem to find any tech courses specific to this :\

 

[Mariothecashcow]

it works strong for me, I advise you get insurance so if you fuck a phone up your covered. I do this regularly and thankfully never wrecked a phone. target yoru local area and dominate, that's what iv done and within 1 week i'm busy with it.

Contact your local community college or even start off working for a local repair company and learn the tools of the trade. You can find everything you need to fix an iPhone on the internet. Buy some cheaper iPhones to practice on. Just practice over and over until you can do it with your eyes closed.

OP- You should definitely start your own business! Just make sure you're insured and if you want a boost, get certified by Apple so people know they're doing with someone who's the best.

My suggestion is, remember to widen your scope. Like also learning to fix and troubleshoot android devices, and market your service in your local area. Or even wider.
Phone service is indeed a good business, at least from where i live here. Tried it, and got some good money, even if i just outsource them to my friend.

Is very good bussiness. But do not just repair iPhone.

Check out the franchise cpr cell phone repair It's no a bad business depending on where you are at. People are super impatient and will come in on their lunch break and want it fixed in 10 minutes.

But it's like a auto body shop, people will always be fucking up their shit.
