You just "might" be able to provide tech support to those who get
Window-Eyes through the Microsoft Office 2010/2013 download agreement, where
tech support is not included with the Window-Eyes product. Ai Squared, the
makers of Window-Eyes (previously created by GW Micro which merged with Ai
Squared) charges for tech support for those customers. That said, they have
a pretty active support group where users provide free help all the time.
So, I don't think I would put forth the effort to go through all the effort
it would take to market your tech support services when your end result
would likely be either very little income, if any at all.
Now, if you want to become a vender with your state's department of rehab /
services for the blind / or whatever your state calls their voc rehab
services for the blind as a vender to teach AT, then that might be a
possibility. Yet, that takes a lot of work to learn the various AT software
programs, marketing yourself, becoming a vender for that agency, and
probably the most important thing...being able to teach. Just because you
are an expert at AT and computers does not mean you are a good teacher. One
of my former employers told me (who I have a great deal of respect for):
they have people with BS and Masters degrees, certifications in various AT
products, etc. who apply for work there all the time; however, it is rare
they ever hire them because they can't teach. They told me they almost
rather have someone who can teach but doesn't know AT because they can be
taught AT; but you really can't teach someone to teach.
Best wishes.
Warmly,

Providing general support is something that the local dealer will
already do at no cost, so you have to really provide something that is
not available for free.
