    It does use the same theme. He encouraged everyone in his course to use it though to get their personal sites up quickly, so I'm sure it is ok with him. Of course I would never try to rip anyone here off in any way.

    dmichaelmccann's Discounted Web Design Services - Get Results For Your Business

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hey guys, As some of you may know from my progress thread, I started a web design business a few months ago and have had some success, but I am still trying to grow and take on some more clients. So, instead of putting up an offer for discounted web design services on craigslist, I’ve decided...

    Growing A Web Design Business From Zero

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Yeah this is definitely a fair point and something I was thinking about when I decided to switch up niches a little bit. When I was looking at these companies I tried to make sure they had at least a few employees and an office and van, but it probably would have been better to go for some...

    Time for a progress update: Since my last post, I've just been grinding away at the cold emails and calls. I've reached out to about 60 in the past 2.5 weeks. I wish I could do more but school during the week is still limiting my call time, so I'm glad that will be over soon. I've gotten a...

    How do I Progress Over Summer?

    Yeah like Against All Odds said definitely get a job to make some money but also run the business on the side. If you prefer copywriting to web design I would say go for that; they are both great paths so you can't really go wrong.

    How do I Progress Over Summer?

    If I were you I would go into the hustles subform and pick out something there that you can pursue over the summer. There are a lot of great threads but I would definitely recommend reading Sinister Lex's copywriting threads and Fox's web design thread to start. You could also try flipping...

    Personally I enjoyed learning Javascript and it came pretty easily, although it was definitely more difficult than HTML and CSS. The only reason I stopped and didn't master it is because I knew enough to start designing websites and I wanted to start taking action. About the meetups and...

    Growing A Web Design Business From Zero

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Yeah if I do a full website build I always do everything unless the client insists on doing something themselves. I always try to sell them on me doing everything myself though because the results are better that way. Usually aside from the design this means I handle copywriting and making...

    Definitely an interesting idea. I'm not planning on doing any more free websites but affiliate hosting is something I might look into; I didn't know that they gave you that much money for a signup. I already had an opportunity where I could have used it because the eldercare website woman...

    Another solid week in the books. Unfortunately no sales for full website builds but I did close a $300 deal for onsite SEO with the same guy that I did the wordpress website cleanup for. I also sent an email to the painting company that I built the free website for. They said that the new...

    Awesome idea Fox and MJ, I'm super excited to be a part of this. The web school and facebook group have already helped me out so much so I hope this subforum can grow to the same level. I'll definitely try to contribute here as much as I can. I have a web design progress thread in the general...

    Just closed another $200 sale through craigslist to clean up a guy's wordpress website. I just need to clean up the design by getting rid of some text related to the theme he has, swap out some images, integrate his social media, and write a couple paragraphs of compelling text for his pages...

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I just closed my first sale last week. I made a similar post describing it in my progress thread but I thought I would share here too. Back in February I decided to start a web design business and although I managed to get a couple free jobs just posting on facebook groups, I was struggling to...

    Eldercare website is up and finished. This job overall was a bit more stressful and difficult than the last one, mostly due to the client, but I think I learned some valuable lessons for the future of my business. The sales call went pretty well and the lady seemed normal on the phone...

    I think I just made my first paid sale! Just 5 minutes ago I got off the phone with a woman who runs a private elder care business. She contacted me yesterday after I placed an ad on craigslist (thanks @Maxboost for the suggestion). It was nearly the same ad as a few posts above but I just...

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update on my progress as I have not in a while. The road has been a little tough but I am still grinding to make that first paid sale. I have been doing a lot of traveling for college related things and I caught the flu on Easter which took me out...

    I have not heard back from them since a couple days after I uploaded the website but I was planning on sending them an email around the one month mark after I built it to see how things were going. That way they get a little bit more time to see results. Looking at their google analytics...

    I have been using HTML templates like Fox suggests and then modifying them to fit my clients needs. Using the templates helps cut down a lot on the coding and I can spend a lot more time on the other things that also matter for getting sales for their business like copy, images, etc.
