    1. To start earning a good amount per website design, you should first make potential clients/employer trust you.
    2. To make potential clients trust you, you should present them a portfolio of you work.
    3. And last but most important, your designs must be good! :)

    Get a good client base. do piece work when needed, hourly when needed. $40-60 if you freelance. The industry will bear between 70-100 for companies. If you can compete as a freelance, good one ya! Also, try support packages. say $100 for 3 hours of ongoing support and troubleshooting.

    Use web projects for marketing and networking.. Don't depend on them for a profit, it's hit and miss.. Long term residual income is better generated through ads on sites and affiliate marketing / sale-distribution of your own unique content.

    The best piece of advice I can give is get plenty of practice. If you are just getting started, even if you are well educated in all coding languages, design skills probably aren't the greatest. Most clients are more attracted to a great design first, and functionality second, so do the best you can to improve your design abilities. This can only be obtained through experience. So, be patient, and keep at it. Over time you will develop your own style, and definitely start a portfolio. Your portfolio is a showcase of your capabilities, definitely a necessity.

    Also, be nice to your clients, returning clients are what will put food on the table.

    Good Luck!

    Firstly, you need to have all the necessary skills, xhtml, css, photoshop, php. Then offer low price for 10 customer to obtain their testimonial and get their permission to showcase their website as demo.

    Next embark on aggressive promotion and before long, sales will come in..

    To be a good web designer/developer you must always update your skill with the latest technology, like CSS3 and HTML5
    and try to read great web designer resources like SmashingMagazine, NETTuts, PSDTuts and many more
