Whilst
planning this article, I visited numerous
message boards where web designers
congregate. I was shocked! Success did
seem to be coming to a few posters, but
struggle seemed the plight of most.
Leaving design college and still being
unemployed after a year was one common
story. Beginners to freelance working for
next to nothing or not working at all was
another.
Most web
designers will experience dry periods when
they just can’t seem to get any work. Bu
what do you do? Complain? Become
frustrated? Become depressed? That’s why I
decided to write this article, to let web
designers like you know that it doesn’t
need to be that way, and that you can make
money with your web design skills, even
when it seems like websites must have gone
out of fashion.
And how can
you do this wondrous thing? By designing
in-demand turnkey websites that you can
sell on eBay and elsewhere on the
Internet. Turnkey websites allow your
clients to start making money as soon as
they get their hands on them.
Tremendous
competition exists for web design work,
whether as a freelancer or with a company.
Unfortunately though, ever since the ‘dot
com bust’, there just doesn’t seem to have
been enough work to go round.
Creating
websites to sell on eBay provides a
perfect stopgap for anyone going through a
dry patch and struggling to find work.
Simply find out what type of sites
currently demand high prices, then design
and set up a site to fit and list it on
eBay…
Whilst using
this system may prove very fruitful as a
stopgap, plenty of people also take the
opportunity to make selling turnkey
websites online their living.
As you may
well have realized already, it can be very
difficult to get started as a web
designer. The old ‘can’t get experience
without work and can’t get work without
experience’ vicious circle applies as much
here as with any other job.
This often
results in desperate for work web
designers taking jobs for a fraction of
what they should get. Once you get started
working every hour available for next to
no money, raising your prices to a
reasonable level, and convincing people to
keep coming to you, can prove troublesome.
That’s why
many struggling web designers find the
opportunity to create turnkey websites
such a lifeline. As long as your work’s up
to scratch, experience need not matter.
Rather than experience, you just need the
right information and a system that will
allow you to succeed.
Still want
to be a freelance web designer or apply
for a web design job? What do you think
your clients or future employers will
value more? A fully functional web site
you designed for a company in college?
(“Hmmm…not bad”), or a string of satisfied
clients who have paid good money for
websites you created totally by yourself,
from scratch with no professor to guide
you? (“OK, now I’m impressed”).
Now, I’m not
suggesting that you can create a site
about your favorite comic book character
and sell it on eBay for $1,000, but your
level of creative control will rise
significantly above that of your freelance
work.
At any one
time, you will find certain types of site
that people want, whether it’s a
pay-per-click search engine, proprietary
product site or even a joke site. But, you
can decide which of these to create, and
create it your way. You can design it for
the client you want to target, rather than
the client that happens to pay your fees
at the time.
Many
freelance web designers find themselves
spending more of their time going around,
meeting clients, working at keeping them
and marketing themselves offline, than
they do designing websites. That’s all
very well for the highly sociable, $100 an
hour types out there, but most designers
would prefer to sit at their computers,
designing.
Selling
websites on eBay will require you to
market your business online, but you can
achieve this in a far more
effective and time efficient manner than
you would struggling to find clients by
advertising in your local paper.
One thing
that stood out from those web designer
message boards that I visited, was the
negativity of most of the posts. Many
designers become disillusioned and even
discuss such conditions as anxiety and
depression.
This does
make sense if all you ever wanted to do
was design web pages, but now it looks
like working in a supermarket is your
destiny. Sound familiar? STOP! You can
make a living doing what you love and get
paid what your skills are worth…when you
create and sell turnkey websites on eBay.
So there you
have it. You no longer have any excuse for
not making money from your web design
skills. Forget moping around the house or
office wishing someone would give you a
break, or taking a job for less money than
you’d get cleaning toilets.
Simply look
at what’s selling on eBay, come up with
your own super improved version and start
making the money you deserve.
