Need Help Marketing Webdesign Business?

Several things. If you do logos you could compete on 99designs.com for business. Someone offers $300 for example to do a logo, designers create a concept and the buyer picks the best one. The best one gets the money. The problem with that is you could put out a lot of designs before yours is chosen.

Fiverr.com is another lead generator, or could be. Offer a $5 design of some type with the hopes that someone will eventually become a client. Not the best however, but something that can be done.

Offer some free designs or templates that people can pick up free. Offer to alter them at your normal rates. Get those free ones indexed and perhaps put them on all the freebie sights out there.

Put a WSO (web special offer ) on the Warrior Forum. Offer some designs for a good price. You'll sell some for sure.

Same deal with Digitalpoint.com

If you want to stick to local, offer to design free for any area charities or good causes to get your name out there. Look for special events or fund raisers and jump in with your offer. They will usually welcome it. Events could be like Run for Cancer, Run for the Philippines, etc.

Put out a disk of clip art and sell it online. If it's good, you'll get buyers and leads. Like the free templates, a free bunch of clip art on your site will attract leads.

When you design a site or template make sure it has a link to your web page using the anchor text you most want to rank for. Clients usually will allow a link in the footer. The will build traffic for you over time.
