Sell hosting to your clients.
If you've read my guide up to this point, you are ready to start thinking outside the box. One thing that most web designers don't realize is that web design business does not stop at web design. You can sell hosting to your clients! Think about it. You just designed a great website for your client. The client wouldn’t just like to host his or her website, the client needs hosting to run the new website. So what I do is I sell hosting to my clients using HostGator Reseller Hosting. It is the most reliable hosting company I have ever worked with, and you will see in my other articles that I praise them whenever I get a chance. People love all-in-one packages and if you don't take full advantage of that you are losing a lot of money on each client.
Sell SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services to your clients.
Tool you should use: Seo Book
Why is this so important? SEO companies make tens of thousands of dollars per month. What's the difference between a web designer offering SEO services in addition to web design and an SEO company offering only SEO services? The web designer can make even more money than an SEO company when they sell both SEO, web design and code websites for their clients! (I will discuss the importance of coding in Step 5). SEO companies charge anywhere from several hundred to several thousand of dollars per month for each client to bring the clients good rankings with search engines and maintain those rankings. If you know SEO and can give clients results, they will stay with you for as long as their website is active. This means thousands of dollars of repeating income every month. This is why it is so vital for every web designer to know SEO. Why I recommend Seo Book is because it is the #1 training website for anyone who wants to learn SEO. It comes with videos, tutorials and even a private forum where you can get input from hundreds of global SEO experts.
