@iizu With a quick google search was able to find this TurkuSteve

Site definitely needs work...
Definitely. My suggestion: Just redesign that site and make it convert. Drop it to some domain, and contact the site owner. Offer to give it to them for free, with the condition that you can use them as a reference.

@iizu That's a great suggestion but the problem is that I don't know anything about designing websites and what makes a website converting.

My plan is to search for ads on newspapers that I could improve which includes redesigning the ad with Photoshop and writing better copy.

I've only called one prospect (which didn't turn to anything fruitful unfortunately) but when I saw his ad and started to do research on his website, products and on the way he markets his products I found that he is not marketing as well as he could.

What I learned was this: when someone is marketing with poorly made advertisements it's highly likely that there are other things in his marketing that need improving as well.

Spent the day watching Photoshop tutorials on Youtube and did some practice as well.

Here's what I did.

I understood a little bit more about layers and how they work, once you get the hang of it and when there's somebody who knows how to explain, it's not too difficult.

There are plenty of videos on Youtube about how to make print ads for products but not too many videos about making print ads for services. Definitely a market for that.

Here's the link for the video I used to create this.
