I am just about to try and start the whole logo design thing, been thinking about it for awhile but already have my designer and domain just need to get a site up.
 


This is neither easy nor does it have the realistic potential of making you 100k per year, unless you plan on investing inappropriate amounts of time in a project.......

I'd be HAPPY to make a fraction of that to add to current and future internet project income.

When starting out a project like this one, keep track of your "process". Once you find process that works you can repeat it for other projects. As a project gets successful, it won't be as time consuming and can eventually become something that takes little time and can be put in the "passive income" category.

Everything "old" is "new" to someone.
 
You're looking at it from the worst perspective. Tell a broke ass college student or somebody making 30k/year and struggling like hell to make money online that as long as they work, they can make a living doing something from home on a computer.

Obviously you can make 100x as much money in 1/100 of time time with affiliate marketing, but why doesn't everybody do it then? Because it's a skill to learn, and the skills it takes to outsource work are a lot easier than the skills it takes to manage AM campaigns.

unless you plan on investing inappropriate amounts of time in a project so boring most people would rather masturbate with sandpaper.
 
I made a living doing just that for a long time but with higher paying clients and let me tell you it's no "Easy Way" to make money. It's a pain in the ass dealing with clients when it comes to design and outsourcing eats up a ton of back and forth time, not to mention finding good reliable people is like finding a needle in a hackstack. Coming from someone who did this for many years I can tell you this is certainly not an easy way to make 100k a year at all.

But you said you don't do this method, either. So how do YOU make money?
 
Thanks for giving us advice on something you don't do yourself or have experience doing. Keep it off WickedFire. That kind of information is working on your blog already.
 
Ya, I would have to agree on this one. You can make $100k a yr.. but will it be an easy way? Hell NO

;)

ProductionHead. If you're going to bitch about this(an entirely feasible biz plan), you can't complain when newbies come on here and ask how to make cash on the interwebs. This isn't useful for some people here, but is for a lot of the newer guys that would otherwise be hassling us selling ebooks.

Agreed. It's not easy. But I think perhaps the "easy" part was establishing a technique that work. Perhaps not the work itself(he actually said it takes work, and that he's too lazy to do it).

Either way. I for one plan on linking the stupid 1 post wonder questions back to here. Save everyone on WF some time.

i'd like to butt in some more about this so called 'easy idea' before anyone quits their job or something to make this happen. Web design is ultra competitive. There are a million and one fucking designers out there. I'd love to meet the person who does this with no experience and makes 100k in their first year. It's probably possible, but much much harder without experience. I really can't envision anyone finding someone reliable to work with on DP or SP without some severe trial and error.

"Customer service" will eat you alive and drive you insane in the website design business. You'd think outsourcing for $500 to get a site done sounds great, but happens when the customer keeps coming back calling it 'not what they want' and you either have to keep doing it out of your own pocket or the customer never pays you. they'll called at the most random hours of the night.

You need really high margins to be successful in the long run in website design. you can "flip" your websites for $700 profit or whatever, over and over and think you're making money. TO make your 100K a year, you'll be landing 3 clients a week (also harder then it sounds as an individual) . After about 6 months, lets imagine you have 80-some clients. I can guarantee you that at least 10 of them will have been unprofitable because complaints and wasted time getting their shit done. At least 10 will become a huge pain in the ass because they think they bought a personal butler with their website.


You have two options to make real money in web site design. You can do the Uber Camp method in this thread, but that wont happen unless you scale the shit out of it with a few sales people, fee freelancers, and lots of clients, but at that point it is nowhere near EASY. The other way is to sell to much bigger clients using higher quality labor... but you aren't landing these 10k - 25k jobs without some serious references. It takes a while to build that kind of portfolio.


So scratch this idea out of your head if you arent in it 100%. Matter of fact I got a better idea... how about, you buy a few cars direct from the manufacturer at the lowest possible price? Then, you put them on some dirt in your front lawn and let them sit there. You can sell them for a profit within 24 hours as your neighbors drive by and look at them! ITS EASY!


This entire thread is a case of "easier said then done."
 
yes, saturate the web design industry some more by attracting a bunch of no-talent ass clowns.

It's not like many of the one post wonders will actually try out this idea. They usually have it in their head that making teh monies online "is easy and only requires a little bit of work."
 
In Paul's defense, I think a retarded monkey could do this and make $100k per year.

As the middle man, you need communications skills. That's it.

Finding clients is hard? Nah, I don't buy it.

If you live in any decent sized city, just print up some business cards and start convincing small businesses that they either need a website or that their current site sucks balls.

Aim for 2 sales per week, $2200 minus $400 for outsourcing. Once you get established hire managers and a sales team. 99% hands off.

Invest profits into affiliate marketing. Automate everything. Once you're good flip your web design company for six figures.

Easy as cake.

You're oversimplifying it.
 
I used to do this pretty much as described before coming into AM. Helped pay my way through college quite a bit. Book a job for $750, and post it on rentacoder.com for $250.

Finding clients IS hard, though. ahhh the good old days.
