    Is this how you make sites that SELL?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    OK, I got pretty gung-ho there, but this is a valid point. Is there a way I could screen potential clients and see if they actually have solvable problems? Oh yeah, and I made a Facebook account to contact this coffee company, and Facebook disabled my account! Maybe they thought it was spam? I...

    Is this how you make sites that SELL?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I'm getting some mixed messages. Some people say starting with a coffee shop is a good start, and some say it's a waste of time. Some are saying to go for the BIG companies first, while some say to first build trust. In @Fox's book, a coffee shop could be a starting point. And, there's an...

    How do I gain their trust though? The coffee shops are very small potatoes, but I've been to them many times.

    Hmm, their Facebook pages already have directions, and on Google Maps. Is there anything I could do for these businesses with a web site? They don't have websites, but I don't know if there's any way I could add value. And, haha, I did read that book. I learned how it's important to sell...

    Is this how you make sites that SELL?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Wow, that was great advice! So, it's OK to target brick and mortar businesses, assuming they actually have a viable business? The coffee shops I'm considering don't have websites. They only have Facebook pages. I have a feeling they are mostly word of mouth. How would I sell this is in terms of...

    Is this how you make sites that SELL?

    I was going to select a small local coffee shop as a starting platform, but I suppose that was a bad idea? I also suppose I was misled by copywriters, as they gave me the impression that I'd be able to sell any company with words. I feel like I'm lacking knowledge in marketing, and in...

    Is there anything missing? Just felt a bit lost on how you make websites that actually SELL for companies. :clench:

    Is this how you make sites that SELL?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Still feel unsure of how you make websites that actually sell. From what I understand, this is the process: Let's say it's a brick and mortar business, and they want more customers. 1. Visibility, getting people to actually visit the site SEO Online advertising (ex. Adwords) 2. Copywriting...

    Is my first client's website viable as a portfolio piece?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I suppose the web site converts warm traffic then? This client was a friend who approached me about a website. I wish I could do a lot more, like copywriting for example. Given these limitations, is it still positively representable of my work?

    Is my first client's website viable as a portfolio piece?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    The main point was to provide referral forms. The entire website points towards this. It also informs people who have heard of her services by telling them what it's all about. And it makes it easy for them to find her business.

    Is my first client's website viable as a portfolio piece?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    My first website was for a mental health counsellor. She was pretty happy with the results! Here's what I did: 1. Created a website to represent the business 2. Included social proof by showing certifications 3. Included a Google map so people can actually find the business 4. Most...

    Hustling! My progress as a freelancing web designer

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Hmm, a few things that are bugging me about my first project: All my site really does is represent the company, help people find it, and get referral forms. There isn't really cold traffic coming to the website, as it's mostly word of mouth. And the client doesn't even want more clients. The...

    That's a great idea! I'll see if the client is interested in doing a testimonial. That reminds me, I'll have to get a portfolio website up and running!

    Thanks! I'm really glad you guys liked it! Yeah, you are right I do lack confidence at the moment. Part of that is for reasons I mentioned awhile ago. But, I figure once I see some success (something I haven't seen in a while) I will feel a lot better. Then I can finally relax my mind!

    OK, I'm done! Here is the cheat sheet: Copywriting 1. Customer Persona Buyer persona is a term that comes from the marketing world. We translate it as ideal customer. It’s that portrait we create by imagining who our ideal customer is based on data and experience. In that portrait we will...

    So did you study anything, or practice? Or did you just jump in immediately? To me, it seems like jumping in without any practice is like sending a soldier to fight in a war without learning how to use a gun. My perspective might be wrong, though!

    Thanks for the response :) The thing with this first client is that they already have enough clients! So, there wasn't too much I could improve, in terms of metrics. Here are the things I did: 1. Clearly laid out what the counsellor is about (and yes the site is attractive!) 2. Built social...
