  • you could offer it to your SEO clients as an option.

    first thing to do would be build a decent portfolio with quality sites.

    Good places for web design is

    Freelancing sites
    Linked in (connect with business owners)
    Yellow pages
    White pages (contact business owners with no website)

    You need to get your name or company out there and just contact everyone.

    Can you get business owners phone numbers? cold calling business owners without sites gets a good conversion rate.

    Maybe you can hire cold callers for yourself? give them a commission on the sale.

    Forums like the one your in, warrior, digital point, business forums etc...

  • pick up the phone.
  • You could get a Craigslist feed going monitoring for Web Design work and SEO. You might ave a problem posting to the States though if you're located in India. You could always buy some US proxies. Other things you can do is put a better signature on here to actually market your service. Right now you're not utilizing it good stuffing it with keywords for seo projects.

    If you're a quality designer you'll eventually get a lot of your work from referrals. Do you have a portfolio? I'm always on the lookout for designers who can produce quality work.

    • I have designed several websites and now I am designing my own website. I am offering seo and website designing at the same platform. You can see that website in my signatures bluenet technologies. This website is under construction but I am now looking forward to spread the word.
  • looking for more suggestions......
  • My advice.......target offline clients and those with horribly designed websites directly. Many of the design clients I write for use direct email and mail to gain clients. They also advertise locally in specific areas. My fiance is actually a web designer and most of her business, now, comes from referrals and she only advertised for a very short amount of time before she had enough business for her.

  • Thanks benjamin. I think having content writer in contact can get me clients.
  • What we usually do right now is get involved or active on various social media websites. Try to promote it one by one by sending them emails. It may be tedious and boring but time will come that the returns will be very enticing.

  • From where I can collect emails of people interested in website design.
  • I would look tot the offline section of this forum for that kind of info as it more geared toward that kind of marketing discussions. But for starters I would look at your LOCAL market to get some easy business. Im sure you can find 1 company who use your services to get your feet wet. As for adwords why don't you try to grab a voucher to give you boost and set up a landing page to capture emails and follow up with them about your services.
  • Ya. I am thinking for adwords. But First of all my budget is less and I dont have much knowledge of PPC. I have adwords account but already wasted the adwords voucher. And If I use adwords again then is it necessary to create special landing page or i can use the homepage of my website.
  • I can not access the link you told. As I am not full warrior member
