I Don't Know What To Do With My Website design

[imz100]

Hello BlackHatWorld,

I've been on and off of here for years now - haven't been a member for long but have always had a look and a good read!

I have been using Photoshop and Premiere Pro for 10+ years now and have done various projects with people over the years which has in turn allowed me to extend my experience on these programs and get to the level I am at now.
By having the natural eye for design + the experience with Photoshop I was able to start designing and creating websites on Wordpress and design layouts for HTML.

So saying that I now want to start selling my skills and services but have no idea where to start. I have tried platforms such as Fiverr + PPH but have only had small success.

I want find some more avenues to advertise these kinds of services can anyone help point in the right direction? Or maybe some of you on here have successfully achieved something like this?

Here some ideas:

• Sell some stuff on creativemarket (templates, mockups...)
• Sell wordpress themes on themeforest
• Try freelancing on upwork
• Open a redbubble shop and submit some designs?

Go on with your own site and rank keywords locally. You can try to find work locally. My friend is doing great with this designing skills with local clients. Dont be like you have to do thing online only, If you got skills.

This sounds very interesting, so he finds local work and meets them, then works on their project?

Go on with your own site and rank keywords locally. - do you have any methods of doing this? programs or software that can help?

Yup, I was impressed too. He started online but then did some SEO work to rank locally and use advertisement and got good amount clients.

That doesn't actually sound like a bad idea

Alot of businesses are now using local areas as keywords to rank for SEO to get customers and its working

I wonder if this will work for designers
