How To Start A Home-Based Web Design Business

Do you know how to build websites and want to learn how to turn your skills into a business you can do from home?

Are you already trying to do web design from home but struggling?

Do you know very little about web design but you’re looking for a business you can run from home?

I’ve been running a home-based web design business for years now and it finally dawned on me that there are lots of people out there that would love to know what I’ve learned the hard way.

I’m not really sure why it took me so long to share my knowledge.  For years, I’ve had people ask me what I do for a living and when I tell them I work from home doing web design, they immediately turn green with envy.  I almost hesitate to tell people sometimes because most people get jealous and I don’t really intend to create those feelings.

But it’s understandable.  I mean, I don’t have to deal with traffic on the way to work, I don’t have a boss, I can take the day off if I feel like it, I can take time off to travel, when I take a break I can do pretty much whatever I want.

So yeah, it’s pretty nice.  But it’s not all peaches and cream.  While I feel like the downsides of this business are much better than the downsides of working for someone else at a regular job, I feel like people considering starting this kind of business should be aware of everything they’re getting into, the good and the bad.

There are so many things when you’re starting out that you just don’t know.

I know one of my biggest challenges was trying to answer the question of “How much should I charge for my services?”

But there are lots of other important questions, like:

• How do I find new web design clients?
• How do I deal with non-paying clients?
• How can I handle the fluctuations in income?

Then there are other things you may not have thought about, such as:

• What are the hidden downsides of working from home?
• How can I avoid working myself into another job where I can’t take time off?

And really, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  There are just so many things I wish I had known when I started out.  I spent a lot of time and money on the wrong things.

I made it through the tough times, but it wasn’t easy… and a lot of people simply don’t make it and have to give up on their dreams and go back to working a… gulp… job.

I actually had a job offer recently, and I wasn’t even looking for a job.  It was a tempting offer, but I had to turn it down because I wasn’t willing to give up my freedom.  For me, the freedom this business provides me is what has me hooked.  I don’t want to have to ask someone else’s permission for a day off.

Hey, it’s my life, it’s my time.  I want to choose how I spend it.  In my opinion, working at a job is nothing more than compensated slavery.  No thanks.

So I’m working on compiling some of the secrets and things I’ve learned the hard way so I can share them with you.

I need to know how much demand there is for this information though before I devote too much time to it.
