Hi all, I want to start my own web design business. There are some questions that are luring in my mind. I do have one or two clients to get started but how can I get more and spread my work to masses? How do I start designing for people? Do I need a site that displays my work, etc?
First: Do a good job. Word of mouth is the strongest advertisement. You can try to get your clients to review your work. Second: Advertise with anything you can advertise on as long as it's relevant. Third: Enjoy!
You need a site that displays you work.It is easy to show other people what is your good job.If you can get high ranking on search engine, more people will find you on internet.
Try to look for freelancer jobs over the internet - A lot of websites offer these. Also if you have done a website or two, ask permission from the owner if you can use it for work reference. That should help!
To have your web site is a good idea. Thenit would be better to make use SEO optimization. Just to get new clients. Many people start with this. Of course advertising is great. Google adwords and so on.
It's a tough competition, but you can make it if you work hard. Start by making your own site (or your company's), make as many great sites as possible (sometimes you'll have to do it for free, to build up the portfolio) and then start to advertise...
