Make Money, Making Websites - Be a Web Designer (sort of)


hello Alex here from WP eagle comm I
wanted to make a quick video on how to
be a web designer developer type person
which is I guess what I would call
myself although I'm not strictly a
developer as yeah although I can work
myself around a little bit of code I've
never actually created any from scratch
I've never written a theme or a plug-in
or anything like that yeah I am still
able to create well what I think and
what my clients think are professional
great-looking business generating
websites so I guess that means that you
probably can - anyone can become a web
designer in this day and age because the
tools are available that you can pick up
and just start using and with a little
bit of time and a little bit of learning
and it is really only a little bit you
can start to put together some websites
obviously you can go and sell to clients
okay so maybe you've already learnt
WordPress and you're thinking but I need
some clients or Emily get clients from
and you'll find that actually in your
local area there's going to be
businesses crying out for a decent guy
to look after their website and help
them get up and running online and start
making things work for them where do you
meet these people have a look in your
local business papers or do a search on
Google there'll be some networking
events going on in your area
there'll be lunches breakfasts all those
kind of things sign up go along to them
doesn't matter if you've got any
business cards just say they're at the
printers let me take your card I'll send
you my details and just start getting
your name about and before you know it
there are people asking for websites but
how much do you charge well that's
really up to you I've been doing this
for a while and I still haven't got it
right you can charge what you think's
right and in my experience I find that
if you say a price and the client says
yeah that's fine it was probably too
cheap so keep going until the client
says we're some expensive or there maybe
you can you know shave it a little bit
often and they feel that they get a good
value and you've probably found the
right price and of course there's more
than just building websites there's that
lovely recurring revenue that you can
also get from being a web
developer designer creator implements a
person and that's on things like hosting
and support now I like to host all the
websites to my clients it's a lot easier
than using other hosting companies like
theirs or someone else's because all
there's possibility lies with you which
also means that if so it happens that
needs sorting out you have control over
all elements to the site to sort it out
and obviously you can also charge for
hosting on an annual basis which needs
renewing on an annual basis but I guess
you're thinking well I can't sell
hosting I've got no servers in my attic
loft area basement it doesn't matter I
recommend a company called TSO host
which you can find at TSO host calm and
on there they offer reseller hosting if
you're in the UK if you go to
hostgator.com in the US they also offer
a reseller hosting and if you sign up
for that you can then set up as many
accounts as you like for your clients
and then also charge for them whatever
you fancy I'll put some voucher codes
for those two providers in the
description if you're interested the
other way as I mentioned is with ongoing
support once the clients got a website
they're going to need help updating it
keeping it fresh and other bits and bobs
to keep it online including the very
important WordPress security updates
again you can charge a month for your
annual fee for this service so that
you're on call whenever they need you
it's recurring at revenue again every
month every year so once you've got a
client they keep paying you for the life
of that client it really is a great
business model so I hope that's
convinced you and you're thinking yeah I
need to learn WordPress and I'm gonna go
and get some clients I'm here to help
you learn WordPress check out my channel
I create videos on WordPress stuff you
know like creating websites with
WordPress and plugins and everything
else in between so please check them out
and I wish you the best of luck
and I hope your business works out for
you I'll see you soon
