Self Employed Freelance Web Developer Of 9 Years Reveals ...
“How To Be Your Own Boss, Work Your Own Hours, Make More Money and Setup a Highly Successful Freelancing Web Design Business.”
“I'd really like to start my own business, but I'm not sure what to do or where to start. Even though I've been building websites for a while now, I'm a bit worried that if I quit my fulltime job, I won't make enough money to pay my bills or rent. What should I do?"
Dont get discouraged! You CAN start a successful freelancing business and feel confident that you won't fail, by following the strategies as setout in my business kit. Read on to learn more about how I learnt the hard way when I first started my business and how I can help you avoid making the same mistakes!
Dear freelancer,
If you're considering starting your own web design business, or perhaps you're already established and are just looking to improve your current business model - then you've made a very smart decision to do your research ahead of time - congratulations! You should be vey proud of taking the first steps. Well done.
I remember when I first started my business, I was a little anxious at first, but happy to be out of my 9 to 5 crappy office job and now making my own decisions without anyone telling me what to do. No longer was I being subjected to traffic, boring meetings or annoying office gossip. I was now my own boss, working whenever I felt like it! Back then I thought this would mean having casual days at the office and making a fortune doing what I loved - web design. Boy was I wrong!
It quickly became apparent that this wasn't going to be the case, unless I addressed some really serious issues. Issues that if weren't addressed quickly, would mean having to return to work, asking for my old job back. Believe me, I certainly didn't want to do that!
You see, I've learnt over the past 9 years that being self employed as a freelance web developer can mean making some good money, and having more time to yourself, or it can mean continually working longer hours for less money, with less reward, being more stressed, and having to deal with extremely annoying and difficult clients.
It can also mean being bogged down with book keeping, stuck with having to do boring paperwork, worried about what to charge, continually finding clients, or worse still finding clients that don't wan't to pay you!
But here's the good news. With each and every problem I faced within my business that had me to the point of wanting to quit, I learnt something. I learnt a very valuable lesson that I believe every freelance web developer and designer often take for granted, and it's an invaluable lesson that can cripple your business and have you going back to work if you don't do something about it - FAST!
And this lesson is that....
“If You Really Want A Highly Successful Web Design Business, Then You Must Follow Effective Business Strategies!”
This doesn't just mean writing a business plan on a cocktail napkin or "making it up as you go along". I've been there and tried that, and believe me - it doesn't work! Back then I was lazy and naive. I thought, I'll be okay, I know what to do, all I have to do is find clients, hand out a few business cards, build websites and make money - should be a piece of cake, right? Wrong.
Little did I know, I now had other responsibilities such as account keeping, book keeping, invoicing, having to manage business expenses, balance sheets and tax! On top of this I also had to compile documentation such as web design proposals, web development contracts, work order forms, sales contracts, letters of intent, non disclosures, service level agreements and so on.
Seriously, once it dawned on me that it wasn't just a case of knocking out a few websites a month, and that I had a business to run -- I knew I had to get serious, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay my rent! Seems pretty straight forward doesn't it? I mean, you wouldn't start a business without actually having some sort of strategy or at least a business plan would you? Its sensible business practice, yet it seems that many self employed freelance web designers just try and wing it, and eventually get frustrated and either quit or end up losing out.
And this is why it's so common, especially in webmaster, and coding forums where you read topic after topic of freelance web designers who make the following complaints....
“I've just approached a bank about getting a loan to start my business, and they declined me, because I don't have a business plan. How do I write a web design business plan?”
“I finished a website for a client two months ago, and I haven't heard back from anyone. I didn't use any contracts or invoices. The whole thing was agreed to verbally and via email, now I'm out of pocket $2,600. How can I get my money?”
“I've got a client that needs a website, but I don't know what I
should charge. How much do I charge? Should I charge hourly,
or for the whole thing?”
“I told a client that my hourly rate had gone up and they went somewhere else. How can I tell clients about fee increases without losing them altogether?”
I bet the majority of these freelancers are briliant at designing sites but have no idea of how to run a profitable business - and worse still they don't have effective business systems in place! A BIG mistake!
To me this only highlights the importance of following a foolproof system when running your own web business, to ensure that you cover absolutely everything. This way, you eliminate any potential issues ahead of time. It only makes perfect sense to do so, and this is why the web design business startup kit that I offer here will not only solve your problems, but it will prevent you from making costly mistakes and give you more confidence and in turn have you making more money!
Okay, if you're about to start your own web design business and you've asked yourself ANY of these questions...
1. How do I write a web proposal?
How long should it be? How detailed should it be? If it's too long, will it scare off the client? What if it's too short? I really don't know where to start? What do I include?
2. Do I need a business plan? How do I write a web design business plan?
I really should plan my freelancing business properly. I've never written a business plan before. Where do I start and what do I put in it?
3. How do I get a loan if I need one?
I'll need money to start my business, so I guess I need to get finance. What should I be aware of before approaching the bank?
4. How much should I charge for my work?
I dont wan't to scare clients off by charging too much, but I don't want to undercharge so Im losing out. What's the best way to charge and how much should I charge?
5. What should I include in my web contract?
What if they don't pay me? What if they dont provide the needed content or images so that I can get the job done? How can I protect myself from any legal issues?
6. What questions do I ask the client during a meeting?
Do I ask them what their budget is? Do I charge for my time during meetings? What information should I get from them? What questions shouldn't I ask?
7. How can I address change requests?
I dont wan't the client to be constantly changing his or her mind about colors, layout or site navigation, that will drive me mad! How can I address this?
8. Where are the best places to find good clients?
I cant seem to find any work, where are the best place to find clients -- good clients that will pay me what I'm worth.
9. How do I address ongoing support and maintenance when the site is finished?
I want to ensure that I clarify ongoing support in my contract but how do I word it? How can I prevent from having to make changes at all hours of the night, just because they "need it now"
10. How do I keep track of all my paperwork and invoicing?
I've got receipts, invoices and paperwork all over the place. I know I should get more organised but how do I sort it out?
10. Is there a business workflow structure that I should use for each job?
I need something to show me exactly what to do at each step of the way and how to avoid losing control of a project.
....then you really need to stop messing about and take action! Failing to have plan and run your freelancing business properly could result in either one of three things.....
1. You get burnt by a client, losing both valuable time and money.
2. You end up throwing it all in because it becomes too hard, too stressful and doesnt create enough money for you -- OR
3. You go back to your day job, with an annoying manager in your ear hassling you all day.

How To Start A Home Based Web Design Business
If you are unsure about how to start a home based web design business you are certainly not alone. In fact, thousands of talented people like you struggle with the idea of becoming a startup company, mostly because they don't know how.
More so than ever, web design is a sought after commodity in the service industry. The internet is busier than ever and more offline businesses understand the importance of being online to reach out to the highest possible customer base. If you are in fact quite the designer, then this is your cue to change your current situation by launching your own web design business now. There has never been a better time.
Before you start a home based web design business ask yourself the following questions:
Do you have the experience needed to branch out by yourself, or would you be better served by working for an established web design company as an employee while you gain necessary experience?
What will your core design services be? A home based web design business doesn't need to be limited to designing websites only. In fact, you could fetch more money by branching out into special fields such as PHP, Flash, CMS, HTML/XHTML/CSS or as a graphic artist.
How will you deal with the workload if you get really busy?
Starting any home based web design business requires a sound business plan. Writing a business plan is one of the most important things you should do if you want to start a web design business. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do this correctly, what matters more is your ability to clearly envision your plan.
It's a bit like traveling, unless you follow a road map you will get lost along the way. Any business should always be mapped out with the help of milestones. Think short term goals, mid term goals and long term goals.
What to consider before brainstorming your home based web design business plan:
Experience: Unless you are confident about your ability to pull this off with confidence you might have to gain more work experience elsewhere. If you live rural you could always consider doing a home study course in web design.
Council approval: Depending where you work you might have to get permission from your local council to run a business from home. If you rent, you might also need the approval of your landlord to get started.
Licensing: Find out whether your home based design business requires a license. Chances are you have to apply for a license to operate within the legal boundaries.
Tax file number: If you earn a certain amount of money per year you will need to pay tax. Find out how your new business will be affected by income tax laws in your country and prepare yourself accordingly.
Insurance: If you intend to welcome clients to your home to discuss their web design needs you might have to consider getting insurance to cover for any possible accidents.
Business/marketing plan:
How will you structure your business and deal with clients?
How will your business move forward?
What will you do to attract more website clients?
Where will you advertise your business, if all?
Portfolio site: If you consider attracting clients on autopilot it helps to have testimonials. These show potential clients that you can be trusted with the task at hand. A portfolio site is your best tool to convince these people to hire you without doing any hard sales.
Business templates: Do you have contract templates you can hand to your clients? Before you wonder how to start a home based web design business look into your business processes to avoid potential legal battles and disappointment because you are not protected with a contract.
Accounting: How will you deal with customer invoices, staff payment and tax?
The process of starting your own business requires a bit of thought. Many things should be considered before wondering 'how to start a home based web design business.' By preparing yourself for any eventualities you can start, grow and develop a sound web design business from the comfort of your home.
Best of luck to you.
John
