How to Market My Web Design & Development Services?

11 replies
Hi I'm a newbie here. Just want to ask if I could market my Web design/development services here in Warrior Forum and in what way? Do I have to pay for ad posting here?
Can you also suggest other legit sites where I can promote my services? I was already scammed in a marketing site and I really need to be more careful this time. Hope you can help me. Thanks

    Post an ad at the Warrior For Hire section.

    You might want to create a graphical ad that highlights your past work.

    Before you post your ad, study the existing ads of other people offering graphics work.

    Come up with a better version.

    If you can, get video testimonials from REAL past customers.

    Yes you can promote your web design services here on the warrior forum. Here are some ways that you can:

    - Advertise it in your signature

    - Pay for a WSO

    - Put a listing up in Warriors For Hire

    - Take advantage of the blog available here for you, and educate people about the importance of proper web design (and how your services can do this for them)

    - As stated above, let past clients do the marketing for you. Do video testimonials, regular testimonials, case studies, etc.

    - Offer some sort of money back guarantee for your service

    - Drive traffic to your WSO... or to your own website that also has your web design services listed there.

    There are basically two types of web developers out there- those who work for marketing groups/other professionals and those who service the end user.

    Right now, your only option is to work for others because it sounds like you don't fully have the grasp of SEO, online marketing and how people naturally gain traffic online. And to land bigger clients, you'll absolutely have to have that knowledge. So the more you can learn from the forum and through trial/error, the faster you can expand your company.

    With that said, use this site to network as much as possible. Make friends. Answer other people's questions. Try to be helpful whenever you can and show respect when others help you. Because everyone here needs websites built and thousands of us are always looking for a cost-effective developer to work with.

    Another thing to consider- think about exploring some partnerships here. If you can build a site and a seasoned marketer can launch a new product with it, both of you stand to come out on top. It's also an excellent way to learn the marketing side of things and pick up new clients at the same time.

    Oh, and you can definitely advertise your website in your signature....just make sure your site looks as sharp as possible though and send folks to a page that will instantly help them. The more knowledge you share, the more clicks you'll get...and that certainly helps a lot in terms of organic SEO. For example, I personally don't look for clients here, but the traffic helps with my site's rankings and allows much larger clients find me in Google...so it's truly a win/win.

    There are so many places for you to offer your service, this forums is also good, fiverr also is good. But have u been familiar with online business ? Most of new websites now are running on online business. You have to read and learn more about online business so that you know what people need.

    Wow cool ideas. Thanks for sharing guys. I'm really new into this online world 'coz I've been in corporate world for the past 6 years. I just got hitched with a web designer and developer and I've been helping him to look for clients since then. I'm enjoying this job I keep posting ads and joining forums but competition is really tough. Good thing our past clients exist and still repeat but I really want to help him in expanding our market so he'll be more focus on the technical side.
    Thanks I'm in a good place and you guys are generous Will try to be active here. Thanks for the help. Need to learn more and that excites me.

    There are many ways and many sites where you can promote your services. There are many sites like this that will allow you to post in their For Hire section for free. If you're not comfortable with it you can also use social media. Post in facebook, instagram, or twitter.
