what is that people my name is Darrell
and today I'm gonna be helping you all
market your web design business so you
can start getting more clients and start
making money right that's why you're all
here you don't want to make money now I
make a lot of videos on web design and
many might be you would ask me you know
I made a website you know I watch your
videos great you can see why my videos
right here actual people how to make
this website in under an hour and a half
with no experience required and once
they basically make the website they
kind of want to learn okay I know how to
make the website I know how to do
everything I know how to make an
e-commerce websites how can I start to
implement it so I can start getting more
clients and leads to my web design
business now I did web design for maybe
a year and a half to two years and I'm
gonna be sharing you all ways on how I
got customers and different ways on how
you can get customers as well now let's
be honest guys there's no easy way to do
this I'm not gonna sit there and and be
one of those youtubers I just can't tell
you oh man it's easy man just run a
Facebook and you give my money money
money made money it's it's not that easy
and it takes a lot of work it's a grind
trust me I deal with a lot of crazy
clients and I'll go over that and
everything in this video but let me go
ahead and talk about the physical and
also the digital ways on how you can
actually make money because a lot of
people forget about physical they think
everything is digital today is like nah
man it's really not in fact a lot of
websites and and communities out there
will actually help you get business if
you are part of you know their community
or even registered sba.gov or something
like that so let's go ahead and just I'm
going to go let's go let's do this it's
let's let's put a start from scratch
here right so you won't know how to make
websites you know how to make websites
for people and that's what your skill is
so let's go ahead and talk about ways on
how you can make money now right so
first off let's talk about the physical
aspects so I'm going to be showing you
examples of each of these to kind of
help you get a visual understanding of
it so first off is very simple guys tell
your family your friends I mean this is
one of the most basic ways on how you
can make money it's just by simply
referrals referrals are the most the
number one most popular way on how you
can make money with web design because
when you tell someone they they might
run to someone later they say oh this
guy needs a website oh yeah you know
Darrow made a website journals how to do
it here's his number just like that in
fact if you ask any web designer or any
web design business out there they're
gonna tell you that referrals are the
number one best way on how to get
recurring clients now of course you need
clients before you get referrals right
because you actually need clients
because you don't have any right so
let's go ahead and go through some of
those other methods so right here events
such as WordPress camp or neighborhood
councils now every city out there you
know Los Angeles Orange County San
Bernardino of Santa Barbara
they all have City Council's in these
city councils what they do is they
actually allow people to advertise their
businesses and when people have the
types of businesses in fact the people
that allow them to advertise might even
need their service later and that
actually happened to me once or twice so
this right here is the city of Santa
Clarita and right here they have City
Hall and these businesses and city
councils they really do like to help
promote small businesses because they
want them to succeed you know that's
part of their job as a government
official is to get these businesses to
succeed and let's say for instance you
know you want to look at jobs you can
check up jobs events you know that's
also a really good one so let me go over
here really quickly to show you the
events so the events are another great
way on how you can make connections and
how you can meet clients so all these
events right here are upcoming where I
live kind of when my city and it's not
going to these places and spamming your
cards but just going and generally
saying you know hey you know this is
cool you know kind of engaging but at
the same time providing value you know
like going to these events helping with
something like right here learn a market
in economics you can tell people there
hey you know I know to do web design
this is what I do but I bought and you
can talk about it you can exchange
information and you'll be surprised at a
lot of people were actually saying oh
you know they have a portfolio can I see
it really quick if there's something I
wanted for my business because everybody
out there needs a website every single
person out there needs a website so it's
just going out to your City Council just
actively going out there and saying hey
I'm available what can I do now they
also have like event types right here so
remember we talked about the business
events all these places have business
events where you can actually go to
their meetings and they'll actually
publish their you know publish your
business on their board or tell their
clients or the referral or something
like that and a way to help you get
money because the city councils and
neighborhood councils really do want to
help promote you you know they really do
and it's basically for advertising in
fact I'll even put it in the local
newspaper they'll send it out just give
them a call
you know go and give them a call see
what they can do and this is a great way
and how you can start picking up leads
next is ask restaurants you know just go
into a restaurant and get some business
cards you know go right now go get some
business cards there's a website called
Vistaprint right here you can go get 500
business cards for like $8.00 you know
it's very cheap I'm not an affiliate
I've used visa print before back in the
day that put my business cards and
they're pretty good you know so you know
just go get some business cards go to
some local restaurants and hey man is it
cool if I just you know leave some
business cards here maybe you guys can
work out a deal where you build them a
website you know for a discounted price
you know you never know what's gonna
happen and the world of sales guys
anything could happen you know I did
tell marketing for two years for an SEO
company and you'd be surprised man
actually I think one of the contracts I
got was Ford which is the company that
builds all those those the cars you know
they were one of my clients and just
simply by giving them a call you don't
know what's gonna happen you know so you
know going out to local businesses you
know local restaurants giving them your
business card right here tell local
establishments such as churches or city
events about your services so we did
talk about how the cities wherever
you're living they do have events you
know and you got to keep track of this
and you know you can also go to other
city events as well you know if the city
is having an event such as like a
Chamber of Commerce or something like
that where they want to help promote
businesses you can simply go to that and
say hey guys you know I'm a web designer
blah blah blah make sure you have a
really nice portfolio make sure your
site is up and running too you know
because I've seen web designers jump the
gun where they basically they learn this
skill really quick they watch mine to
tour like all right cool I got it and
let's go everywhere but it's like when
they go to their website it looks like
crap and they're saying no no no I don't
want to go this website you need to make
sure you have a professional image
before you start to market anything so
just keep that in mind you know two
cents all right so again a Teleca lost a
blintz and churches about your city
events so we didn't we talked about you
know for example city sign Corita and
also churches churches of course if you
are religious and you go to church
church is another great way you know
churches whenever I would used to go to
churches a lot of people would actually
say you know hey you know the so-and-so
John right here he's also you know he's
a he's a Christian he's a Catholic but
he's also a web designer people in the
community kind of want to work with
people in the community you know what I
mean like so
for example if you have like a Jewish
synagogue and they all work together
they kind of want to work within you
know their their their little you know
group and stuff like that and that's
perfectly fine you know so just go ahead
and reach out to your group whether it's
a church whether it's the gym a hiking
group anything like that and simply just
kind of let them know you know hey guys
I'm doing this I do I do know how the
churches actually having billboards and
advertisements even if I their churches
so that's another great way if you do go
to church to kind of implement and
market your business next is referrals
we talked about and get testimonials
guys just get the testimonials so when
you're when you get the business from
someone and you know you complete the
job and everything make sure you get
testimonials people really do want to
see proof whenever you see those guys on
YouTube you know those guys on YouTube
that sit there and say you want to make
a million dollars man you gotta buy my
ebook for $1.99 you know and it's all bs
of course but they just want to get you
to buy it but then they have these like
these people come up and these these
like beautiful girls and are like oh
yeah I bought his book and it was so
good I learned so much
you got a pious book for 199 no those
are for those testimonials they really
do sell you know people really do if
other people are saying oh it's working
yeah it's working they're more inclined
to buy the product so make sure whenever
you get these these jobs done make sure
you get the testimonials just go ahead
and say give them a call say hey bro
like I put to the website you know I
really hope it was good give me a quick
favor brother key just you know give me
a quick referral or I'm sorry a quick
testimonial just saying you know that
you liked it and everything so this will
help me to get future business and
they'll be more than happy you know if
if the job was done done really well and
they liked it they'll say yeah sure in
fact if I see anybody else
I'll tell them in the future to go to
your website as well you know there's a
lot of ways on how it kind of spread so
that's another way make sure to get the
testimonials now another really good one
that I did was cold calling and emailing
now let's get on it let me talk about
this one here this one's interesting so
this is something I did I actually did
this for an SEO company in Calabasas
so Calabasas California where Justin
Bieber lives the famous Justin Bieber
that's where I used to work and that's
raised to do a lot of my business is
that so what we would do is that we
would actually call call companies and
businesses
and get their information and tried to
sell SEO services for like a thousand
dollars a month after that we would
outsource it to India for like 200 hours
a month we would keep like an $800
recurring payment every month that's
what we did now how did we do this
well a lot of the ways is simply just by
googling places in your city so for
example we have Olive Garden you know
Olive Garden is a very popular
restaurant in the United States you know
it's a very popular Asian but did you
know that Olive Garden right here has
the actual permalink wrong on their
website so when you go to Olive Garden
comm and you type an answer it takes you
to the actually the home section so if
they're using WordPress
it looks like the developer forgot to
add us as a static front page I don't
know you know and giving them a call and
letting them know wouldn't hurt but you
know I'll be you let me step back here
and say that corporations are very very
very very very very hard to get into you
might want to go into something more
local but that's just an example so
simply just go ahead and just google
companies like you know we go GLE an
attorney you know the best attorneys
best attorneys in Santa Clarita or some
like that and just simply discover the
web sites in fact I think I do have a
website over here that I want to show
you all that was in need of something so
right here this is a great example so go
ahead and just Google you know dentists
lawyers whatever you want in Google and
make sure it's in your local area so you
can kind of rap over there now this
right here for example is sort of an
outdated website you know it's not a bad
website but it can be really improved
upon so right here is the dentist and
you know looking at their website I'm
saying you know I don't think they got
them updated in a long time you know it
does say 2019 but I'm gonna say you know
what guys I don't think the site is
really up-to-date I think we can
actually help improve you all prove this
sites and kind of you know provide some
more value to it and just go ahead and
just send them an email you know send
them an email saying hey I saw your
website's blah blah blah and also give
them a phone call you know so to the me
email give them a phone call but when
you call these companies you know the
hardest part is getting past the front
person and you know when you first call
somebody talk to the receptionist say
hey you know you know just give him a
call and saying hey you know I was
looking at your websites and it's really
not two days I think the owner might
want to talk about this or get involved
you kind of want to bypass the middle
person but
want to be very friendly to that
beginner person you got you almost want
to coax them because if you don't if
you're if you're a jerk or an asshole
they're gonna say you know hey man
you're the owner they're the owner
they're click you know Clank but if you
pick it up you're like hey my name is
John you know I was working on this
project and I saw your website you have
you looked at it you know and they'll
say yeah I did look at it it's kind of
yeah it is I told them I told them you
know and you never know what's gonna
happen but make sure you're very polite
it's very nice and I guarantee you it'll
go a long way so when you research these
companies make sure to give them a call
an email and follow up you can make a
list on Excel spreadsheet so get on
Excel make a list and simply just go
through these companies and add them on
the list out of it's like oh this was a
good lead a bad lead and give them a
call and follow up you know following up
is the most important part because
you're not gonna make a sale on your
first phone call there's no way you know
I mean maybe maybe you'll get lucky and
do that but the odds of that is
happening is very very low so we did
talk about cold calling and emailing now
another thing that you can do is run the
websites through GT metrics so right
here you can see I ran my website to GT
metrics and it was really low so let's
say for example I want to go ahead and
provide some more a proof that their
site needs help so what I'll do over
here is take their websites now I've
never even analyzed as web site before
but this website you know just googling
you know companies in my local area and
provide them a report of their website
saying hey you know your your website
needs a lot of work it's not optimized
here's the report for you we can help
you what do you say they're way more
inclined to go with you than to sit
there and just collect a random phone
call just saying hey bro you want a
website they're gonna click click you
know they're in the art of sales you
have to really provide value you have to
really follow up there's a lot you
should do in sales so it's you know the
world of sales is crazy guys but really
make sure your PO lights make sure you
follow up make sure that's you know if
the leads good stick with it and don't
be a jerk you know people don't like
church they're just gonna hang up on you
and there's so many different ways that
can go so look at this right here this
site is in massive need of you know I
should call them right now should I call
them right now and do this you know
saying hey man your site's really slow
you know I maybe I will maybe I was in
on my next video I'll give them a phone
call right here but looking at this site
right here
I need a lot of work so if you want this
is a free lead I just got you one just
give him give them a phone call right
give them a phone call and that will you
know you'll you'll maybe you can
actually make one of the sales there so
that's just an example of someone who
might need some web design work right
next let's talk about the types of
people you want to go after so the type
of people you want to go after is very
important guys you want to go after
people with money
all right this that's how it goes but
you want to go after people who are
trying to start their own business from
scratch
probably not they probably don't have
any money to give you do you want to go
after attorneys doctors construction
places real estate agents gyms yes yes
you do yes to all of those because all
these places right here have budgets
they have money to spend you know
doctors and dentists attorneys real
estate roofing companies plumbing
companies they all probably make around
10,000 to $20,000 a month maybe more
than that you know so they have the
money to pay so you don't want to go
after those like little like Thai
restaurants you know like those like the
little hole in the wall trying to
express restaurants I'm not being racist
I'm just saying that they probably don't
have the five grand to give you because
they're probably not making that much
money you know so when I see those are
like hole-in-the-wall restaurants I mean
I personally love going to them like I'm
a big fan of Thai food but I probably
wouldn't want to send them a bill for a
five thousand our website because they
probably can't afford that you know but
then you never know you know if it's a
busy tight restaurant like there's one
called presidental thai in the san
gabriel valley I would give them a quote
saying hey guys you know your great
website are great food I mean let me
talk about a website blah blah blah go
to my pitch and that's another thing I
didn't write on here but make a pitch
you know when you're calling these
companies and you're advertising you're
gonna notice that something works
something doesn't something works
something doesn't so through trial and
error you want to develop a script that
will kind of work all the way you know
so these are some really important
physical things that you can do for your
business
and you know physical is very good
because you're face to face they can see
you they trust you they know you they
can call you you can visit them anytime
you want it's a great way on how to make
money so that's my personal advice on
how to get clients through a physical
presence
so now we talked about physical let's
talk about digital now I did less a lot
of these right here but there's three
very important ones I really really
really want you to make sure you watch
so make sure you keep watching this
because I want to talk about those but
I'll kind of go in order right here so
Facebook Ads now Facebook Ads to me are
useless but Facebook guys are probably
one of the worst ones however if you're
using Facebook and you're targeting a
specific location Facebook ads are one
of the best ones out there so when
you're advertising the companies if
you're a digital business like Web
Design and you're trying to market
across the United States the odds of you
getting business is very low it's very
very bad but if you see someone like
this for example saying a web design
service in Santa Clarita people are
saying oh I live in Santa Clarita they
feel more connected to you they feel
more always a local he's a local guy
cool I trust him more you know and
that's basically how people get more
business through Facebook advertising so
when you're using Facebook ads make sure
you target your specific city and
location you don't want to you don't
want to target people in Virginia you
know why would you do that you can
target people right in your area so
people are more inclined to purchase
your service so Facebook advertising I
do have a full video on it as well in
fact now this is my video right here and
you know I basically cover Facebook
advertising I have around 1.6 1,600
likes 65,000 views and it's just the
time you need to spend to watch the
video and learn from it because a lot of
people might watch this video and then
just run out really quickly I'm gonna
try it spend the time to actually
research watch this stuff right so it's
an hour it's one hour to learn Facebook
you know it's it's not it's not hard
it's fairly simple actually so that's
one of the ways on how you can actually
get clients through Facebook and I do
recommend Facebook only for local
advertising so if your digital service
like if you're located in another
country and you're trying to advertise
web design in another country I would
just forget it
it's it's too competitive I'll be very
honest with you it's way too competitive
but local advertising is the best for
Facebook and that's the only one I
recommend next is Google Ads
now he ever gone to web design of Santa
Clarita
so right here we have bark calm so bark
calm and we also have these ones right
here now the reason why these ones are
lower right here is because they're not
properly bidding they're not bidding
correctly and they're probably bidding
under the requested amount so we're
gonna show up way below there but these
companies right here have the first shot
of getting a click and you know there's
a lot of different ways how you can do
Google ads and Google Ads is a little
more complicated so I will link a course
for Google ads in the description below
there is one guy I learned from his name
is Isaac students key right here I Lisa
dents key now this course is really $200
but I'm not an affiliate so I don't make
any money if you buy this course or not
I'm just showing you what I took wait
for you to me to have sales because
right here you can get for twelve
dollars and I mean this is a 25 hour
course it's extremely condensed it has
so much information packed in it so if
you want to go and take that course I
mean it's eleven dollars I mean what one
thing also is don't feel afraid of buy
anything online how much money do you
waste taking out your girlfriend to the
cheeseburgers and french fries or going
to Starbucks every week you know but you
don't want to spend fifteen dollars for
a Google Ads course you know it's that
mindset you really gotta break out of
you know people don't like buying
digital stuff I know that but you need
to because it's a lot of it's an
investment it's a value that you get
back so that's an option if you want to
go ahead and do a lot of words basically
how Google AdWords works is that every
time someone clicks on your
advertisement you'll be charged you can
be charged a dollar you can be charged
two dollars three dollars four dollars
one hundred dollars depending on your
niche but for web design I want to say
it's maybe you like to I don't know a
dollar to five dollars depending on I
don't know depending on the city it's so
Google AdWords is so advanced but now
that is one of the ones but I wouldn't
recommend it I think it can be very
expensive at times but it's one now list
of websites so you know a lot of a lot
of different ways on how you can get
businesses ask a question you know
there's there's directory websites
there's question websites there's
Facebook groups there's yellow pages
there's AB city there's thumbtack
there's dexter knows all these other
websites so for example one of the ways
is that's what I've seen on Quora is P
people ask a question they're saying
well what's the best web design in Santa
Clarita and a lot of people actually
answer their own question with the
question or they answer their own
question and I've seen a lot of people
do that and right now I'll be very
honest I'm kind of against it but if the
websites allow it you know you can
actually ask a question saying hey
what's the best web web design company
in Santa Credo you can have your friend
answer it saying ho Darrell Wilson's
company's the best and I build a website
I got a lesson from them and it was
amazing of this and there you go you
know now you have some information about
your your website on the internet and
you also have a referral and a
testimonial as well an Internet Yahoo
Answers the same thing people actually
answer like hourglass like hey what's a
good web design company what's a good
one and I guarantee you you'll find one
out there on Yahoo so when people ask
what's the best web design company
Darrell Wilson gah you know there it is
my company now remember you might not
think this is a big thing like oh yeah
this is this is one of the options but
remember these sites get millions of
visitors every day and people are always
on it you know it's constantly under 24
hours a day when you're sleeping it's
being checked out so remember don't
think of in the mote in the time think
of overtime maybe that question will
give you three or four jobs over time
you never know but by adding it it's not
a bad idea
next let's talk about the list of
websites on the Internet's so there are
a lot of websites on the internet that
you can actually add your sites to that
you'll get you know clients from and
Yelp Yelp is one of them in fact Yelp is
one of the best Yelp is one of the best
ones so I talked about the top three
Yelp was one of the best so for example
right here Web Design Santa Clarita you
can see right here we have all these
companies right here you know I mean
look at this company right here you know
23 reviews I mean that means they must
have got at least 23 jobs just from Yelp
and if they're charging $5,000 a job
that's maybe around a hundred well
what's the math here run $130,000
$115,000 I don't know
$115,000 a year from that job you know
and it's great to have because you never
know what's gonna happen I'm like they
probably got way more than that because
a lot of people don't review that even
you know
work with the company but make sure you
add your company to Yelp add an image
add some information on it so right here
let's just go check when I let's go make
somebody famous here that's five rockets
design so we got this company right here
in Santa Clarita and you know they've
listed they listed their phone number
their websites they have all this
information right here they have a
portfolio this right here is great now I
think this is kind of weird look in they
it looks like a newspaper but you know
right here from the business they talk
about it they specialize it and remember
this stuff gets seen in the search
engine so it's not necessarily about
people actively looking at it when
people type in best web designer in
Santa Clarita the odds of you showing up
is very likely so make sure to check
that one else Yelp Yelp is a very good
one make sure to add it in there next
we're gonna talk about Oh
number two what's important number two
most important oh this is actually
number one I think this is number one
number one most important when you have
to add is the Google Maps so let's go
back over here so web design in Santa
Clarita now if you look at you know guys
sorry for my 2k screen I got all this
white over here you know sorry about
that you know but right here the first
thing that pops up is China through the
web on i.t you know the small dog
creative scorpion
you know scorpion is actually the same
company that does the SEO for Facebook
so I'm located actually two minutes away
from them actually I just asked him for
a job maybe they'll give me a job when
they watch this video but uh you know
the best thing about this right here is
that you can see the location you can
see the business you can see the reviews
the phone number everything is right
there Google Maps is the best one out
there on the internet period because
when everyone types in something like
Web Design in Los Angeles which is
probably very competitive these right
here are actually showing up in fact you
can see the Google Ad actually running
up right here and this right here is a
horrible advertisement and this guy
needs to take the course on the on this
right here because as you can see this
guy made a mistake right now I typed in
Web Design in Los Angeles and for some
reason Brazilian Jujitsu
- tournament coming up so this guy
doesn't know how to advertise he's doing
it the wrong way that's why you need a
course on it so this right here is proof
that people don't know how to advertise
properly and there's no shame in it guys
it's not like I'm yelling at you saying
you know you got advertised right it's
your money you want to save your money
so right here for instance you know we
have the Google ads which is one of the
ways I recommended but below that these
companies right here are be seeing or
being seen before all these other
companies and all they're doing is
putting their location on Google Maps so
that's a great way on how to get clients
you know make sure you do it you know
really truly Google Maps is the most
important one okay if the most important
one out there trust me it's it's the
best one you have to pay for it shows up
Rank 1 what else do you want you know
like it's Rick white you don't have to
pay for what else do you want you know
also there's other websites like
obsidian com
of course Yelp yellow pages as well so
if you go to yellow pages calm which was
a lot of old people use a lot of old
people you yellow pages but all people
got money they got money so you know you
want to get money out of Grandpa and
Grandma you know so make sure you list
your website on yellow pages calm
deckchairs knows as well various other
web websites so just kind of you know
white pages as well just do your
research and advertise your business on
these local websites because these do
show up in the search results
you know let's also talk about ask your
City Council we talked about that
Angi list doesn't I recently think they
took that away they recently took it
away on you know a web designer so I
don't think they offer web design
anymore it's more for construction
companies as well next let's talk about
SEO so for instance right here you got
your website
you made your website so your website's
Joe Wilson com whatever your website is
this one right here so this is my
website I want to get I want to get
clients how do I get clients well
there's two ways on how you get clients
one of the ways is that you hire an SEO
company now I used to work for an SEO
company in Calabasas
you know in fact I would I would go call
people and you know I would get contract
so I can hold you I got for com4 dot-com
was one of my clients and a great way on
how you can actually
on how you can actually get SEO it's
just by going to the source so I I
personally go to freelancer comm you can
post a project saying hey guys I want
SEO you know what should I do
and basically they'll tell you that what
keywords you want to rank for so when
they talk about keywords they're saying
when someone someone types in something
in the search engine you know what what
do you want to rank for so for example
if you're a web designer you want to
like you know web design in Los Angeles
that's a good one you know so you can
tell your SEO guys saying well you know
web design or web design in Lausanne Web
Design in Los Angeles is a good one but
that's very competitive and I would do a
mixture of very competitive and
non-competitive so for for instance
another one would be like web services
in Los Angeles now that one's a little
broad that one's a little broad so web
web design service in Los Angeles that
one's you know a website service you
know keyword research can take a long
time and you should go to Google I'm
sorry Google insights or Google Trends
or even the Google Google I think Google
AdWords has a calculator on it we can
kind of just do research on what
keywords you should focus for so web
design service in Los Angeles what
design company website service you know
cheap web design service whatever you
want to add you know so that's that's
basically a way on how you can kind of
do keyword research so when you go to
these companies are gonna ask you for
keywords so you know I would do 20
keywords probably cost you around $200
$50 a month for SEO and over three to
six months to a year you can expect your
website to kind of rank higher in the
search results
so for ends it's right here you know all
these companies right here are they have
a lot of SEO in them and the reason why
we want to do companies like Yelp right
here and up City is because they already
have really good SEO so you want to kind
of leech off they're off the ranking and
put your site on it because you'll never
ring car than Yelp Yelp is just like I
mean they're very trusted and I don't
think you'll ever rank higher than Yelp
in fact I guarantee you won't work
higher than them but you know go on
their sites and put your stuff on there
so you
have a chance to get seen right so that
is basically a quick run out of SEO so
if you're gonna see which one I hire
just post a project so you want an SEO
you're gonna get hundreds of people that
we're gonna spam you say anything but oh
I know how to do it I know to do it you
know so just pick one make a contract
200 hours a month and after six months
to a year you should expect really good
results six months give it six months of
the SEO guy that's that's what I
perceive recommend for SEO also constant
writing so write blogs on your on your
so for instance right here we'll go to
Google really quickly and you know
trends trends and web design you know
now when you when you type something in
right here you know a lot of these sites
that you that you're that you're reading
and looking at a lot of them are older
design companies they're all web design
companies trying to kind of get business
right here so you know I think web flow
is about flow I don't think they are but
most of these companies are actually
services and websites that are trying to
get web design business so being an
authority is one of the best ways to is
like just like you're watching this
video people trust me to build a website
because I teach websites when I build it
for someone from scratch probably not
because it's interferes me doing YouTube
right but I do have designers out there
that I do use so you know just keep
blogging you know like 10 things not to
mess up on Web Design 5 best tips for
freelancers I'm looking to start a
business read this before you know
really catchy titles like that to kind
of encourage people to actually read

know people you'll start getting more
traffic on your website people will
visit it they'll start sharing it's you
never know people put it on reddit it'll
get 50,000 uploads you never know what's

way and in fact if you need a constant
writer just go to I write or calm writer
calm I mean you can get articles really
really cheap you know four thousand
keywords for thirty one dollars right
here a five hundred article they'll
write you up a blog for a thousand words
for ten bucks you know so it's a great
resource on people that want to get
concert writers for cheap i've used i
writer in the path
it's a really good resource so be sure
to check out our comm if you want to
hire a content writer for your website
because I have a Content writer I mean
I'm too busy to do other things so I
have to hire someone to write for my
website because I have other stuff to do
I have you to feed us to make I have
editing to do right so just like you you
know you have a business to run you have
clients to manage so you don't have time
to write content so hire a Content
writer to just write content for your
website again live website live live Web
Design events you know create in
educational information so become an
authority you know really really try to
help people you know with your past
experience like for example I told you
about you know I don't like you know
serving people in the food industry
because a lot of those restaurants
aren't going to be successful a lot of
like beginners trying to make their own
business their website probably won't do
well in fact they don't have the money
to pay you
so that's based off my experience so
that value I'm giving you is something
that you should provide somebody else
like something something of real value
there now also one thing I didn't talk
about is forums and Facebook groups so
you know there are a lot of Facebook
groups right here sorry here we have
Divi theme the Divi theme users right
here you know right here you can see
that these people over here you know
people are sharing information and a lot
of people out here actually want to know
how to build websites so you can just go
ahead and say oh this guy right here
this kind of offering a free layout you
know so you know post in the Facebook
groups see what you can do see what
information you can have which you can
learn and I've seen a lot of people out
here actively trying to do purchase
websites from people saying hey can you
build me a websites so that's a good one
and also forms as well but forms it's a
very easy way to get Bance you got to be
very careful on forms only post your
website if somebody asks so if nobody
asked don't post your website I'm
telling you you can get banned really
easy so these are my ways on how you can
actually get leads and start getting
more clients you can also post your
services on upwork.com
and also freelancer com but I find that
if you're from the United States and
you're trying to get business on
freelancer and upwork it's going to be
very difficult because you're
competing with a lot of low-budget
competitors a lot of these people are
from India they're from Pakistan they're
from Nepal and they're offering to build
websites for like 200 bucks so it can be
a little competitive when you're trying
to charge someone to $3,000 on the
websites but that doesn't mean you
shouldn't do it because a lot of people
might want to only work with someone in
Los Angeles now one other thing that I
want to talk about is Craigslist
Craigslist is a great one Craigslist
right here is a great one so over here
under the computer gigs you can simply
type in WordPress and you'll always get
people that are trying to say I need a
WordPress sites WordPress help needed
SEO specialist needed web developer
needed a lot of people are actively
looking for people to you know saying
hey I need help with my website can you
do this so be sure to check that one out
I mean right here is Los Angeles and I
recommend doing the local one because a
lot of people want to work with someone
local you can always just do you know
United States it's our cold calling
that's another good idea but will they
take your job I don't know you know a
lot of these people say we want people
in the area so this one right here 15 to
20 hours a week yeah I see in in the
area so that's something to think about
but Craigslist is a great one Craig this
is a really good resource so you know I
really hope this video was helpful

implement these resources you can kind
of start kind of you know you have
