Answer 1

There are SO many web designers and companies out there, but there's a definite market for it - - you just need to stand out.

Try listing yourself at www.guru.com and on CraigsList.

Put your logo at the foot of every website you design, with a link to your site.  I've been known to click on those just to see what other work the person/company has done!

(You definitely need your own site, to drive traffic to AND demonstrate the kind of work you can do.)

Word of mouth is very important for your business.  Ask your customers for word-of-mouth advertising, and/or offer them something (example:  1 free hour of website enhancements) if they "advertise" you to new clients who pay for your work.

Be sure you're not all "Flash" animation on your website - - the text content on your site needs to be full of key words that will enable search engines and potential customers to find you.

I hope that gives you at least a few good ideas, best of luck!
