Re: Starting Out?

Congratulations on taking a first step.  Many people are eager to begin
their own web design busienss after writing their first web page through
Geocities or AOL. If you already have some of the technical skill under your
belt, you are ahead of the game.

Make sure you have a few samples to show people, or reviews from people for
whom you have done work.  There are plenty of sites online dedicated to
eMarketing, Client Building and Home businesses.
Consider doing a search at Yahoo, internet.com, freeagent.com and the other
career boards.  They often provide networking and tips in addition ot being
a great place to find work or people to work for you.

Best of everything!

Subject: Starting Out?


>Hi, I have decided to start up my own web design company.  I am currently
working on our site and making plans with my partner, and we plan to be
operational by the summer.  Although I have some experience making websites
and feel I am good at it, I have no experience in the business aspect of it.
What steps should I first take?  My primary concern is finding clients; I
think my skills and hard work (not to sound cocky) will take care of the
rest. We are going to do some advertising in some papers, submit to search
engines, and spread the word by talking, but what else should I be doing?
Your experienced insight is extremely valued.
