Starting a WebDesign Biz

Personally, I am the type to shy away from franchises, but then again, it might give you a start. It's costly, though.

If you are good at web design, start small. A friend of mine, a father of one of my students, started with me. He created one for my dance school, my dance competition, my dance team, and my dance company.

He learned on me and kept going. He does fabulous work.

Hi,
I am not running web design business. I am not sure what could be done to make web design business profitable.

I saw some of the sites use affiliate program to allow members to promote their site and generate more sales. Maybe you can try to use affiliate program to help you make more money for your web design business.

You can pay commission of 10% or 20% or more to your affiliate sellers. If they successfully help you generate sales, then they will earn commission. I think that this is a good way to help you make money faster from your web design business.

Hi marina321, i can offer you some tips and the possible outcome of your business. First of all you got figure out the market you want to sell your web design services to. To earn well you need to layout your services with more value added services such as web hosting or optimiztions to web design to allow faster search engine indexing. Such services can bring you the market. You got to create blogs with your design which will act as pre-selling to get potential customers. You need to make sure you have a good customer support and plus added value to your services. This are very basic tips, but doing web design is tedious. You can choose to meet with clients and end up doing more work than required becuase clients are bound to make changes many times. Or you can just sell templates to some template online stores and wait for it to be sold. Franchises do have thier ups and downs but at the end of the day keep your budget low as possible. Web design busines can be done by a single person provided if you can handle it.
