I had an idea to give a free talk on IT security for small businesses in my area, in the hope that some would need my services in this for their business. It is a topic I personally really enjoy and would love to put what I do in my day job to use for someone else as a side gig. It was also one thing that really stood out at me from Millionaire Fastlane, when MJ is talking about becoming a producer rather than a consumer - rather than taking a course, teach a course.

The talk itself would cover the fundamentals, enough to keep a business sufficiently secure: regular patching, restricting user rights, proper tested backups, default passwords, 2FA, adopting a security mindset, etc... For attendees I have identified businesses which would have online assets worth protecting, and which I reckon would have the means to pay, like real estate agents, solicitors, accountants . I would exclude businesses like nail and beauty parlours, fast food, etc

I imagine the first step would be to validate the idea - ring some of my potential attendees and ask if they received an invite to such a seminar, would they be interested to attend.

I wanted to get the opinion of this forum and see how other people providing IT services got their first gig. The two concerns I am caught up on at present are:
- Available time - If I were to get a gig with a small business, I could only attend them after my day job (after 6PM) or on weekends. How do I work around that?
- Liability - What liability would I be exposing myself to in the event that a client suffered a cyber attack (ransomware, etc) and how do I limit that?
