IT & smart-home help
Remote IT and smart-home support jobs — paid by the minute
You have been doing unpaid tech support for family for twenty years. The difference here is that you can see the blinking lights on the back of the router, point at the port they need, and get paid per minute for it.

Questions
IT & smart-home help, answered
Can I see their screen?
You see whatever they look at, including screens, cable runs and the back of the router — which is usually where the answer is.
Do I need certifications?
Demonstrable competence matters more than paper, but any certification you hold shows on your profile.
Is older-adult support a big category?
It's expected to be one of the largest. Patience is a billable skill here.
