A 26-year-old woman who repairs game consoles quit her job, opened an online workshop, and now earns more than her former colleagues in the trade.
For four years she worked in an ordinary repair shop, behind a counter, where nobody sees what happens to your console after you hand it in.
The price list: stick drift, one stick - $10–19. Two - $19–31. Hall effect sensors - up to $34. Cleaning, battery replacement, small jobs - from $6.
Work out for yourself how many consoles a month that takes to actually make a living.
After she quit, she set up a workshop at home and started bringing in $3,000 a month and up.
Viewers send donations on Twitch and Boosty while she repairs PlayStations and Xboxes live, taking them apart in front of thousands of people and narrating every step.
Haters will say it only works because she's a woman running streams. But the consoles are mailed to her from the other side of the country. Nobody goes to that trouble over looks.
Since she opened the online workshop, her income and her order count have both grown several times over.
All it took was turning on a camera.
