Hello Everyone,
So just an update to my previous thread(EXECUTION - RANT - QUESTION - I started my SMMA and failed utterly. )which gave me a lot of insights and helped me get started with the execution a question.
As you may have read, I started a SMMA and things didn't work out quite well. I was offering a lot of services including web design, SEO, SMM and more. But I didn't have expertise in any of the fields. Then I decided to niche down to Web design because I found out that I enjoy coding and did some research and read the 1 million dollar web designer book by @Fox . I started learning HTML and CSS and have done quite well till now and it's only a matter of time before I would be able to make fully functional websites(I plan on using technologies like webflow, so I learned HTML and CSS to get started).
One Question that popped in my mind was that even If I am able to make good looking websites for a business, just the design of the website won't help Solve the problems of my client like low leads or clients or any more real life problems. There are more things to it that differentiates a 100$ website and a 10,000$ website. So what to do when I become proficient in building websites? I kind of have an idea about things I may need to learn like Copywriting, Sales Funnels, Email Marketing and all but I don't see a clear path on how my websites would be of great value to my clients. I
Sales isn't a problem I wanna focus right now on.
Also, I am from India so could you guys give some advice and reasons why someone would hire a web designer from a foreign Developing Country and not his/her home country, and how to find/pitch clients abroad?
