Make Some Quickie Money Creating Websites For Businesses
There are many ways to make money online, but if you’re looking for a way to make some quick cash then creating websites for businesses is a good option. Now what I’ll be focusing on in this post are offline businesses as they are much easier to accept your services.
Almost all businesses need websites now days to represent and to help their business grow. If you want to make money online, It’s a big advantage to have a little bit of knowledge on how to code or design websites, because almost everything online involves some web design, I’m not saying you need to know everything, but having basic skills is a big plus.
Every website gets built using html and css. As I’ve said, I’m not saying you need to be genies or be some super talented web designer, but I’m just saying you need a basis foundation on how to create some basic websites. Having the skill or ability to create basic websites will save you a lot of time and money as you don’t have to outsource your whole project. Now let’s get back to the point, shall we?
So what’s the secret?
Ok, so what you’ll be doing is, you’ll be offering your website creation services to some businesses that don’t have a website yet and I don’t mean targeting big businesses, I’m actually talking about the start up businesses or small businesses. You’ll be offering them a proposition that they can’t resist. Tell them the benefits of having a website, tell them that their competition all got websites, tell them everything that will make them say yes. Sounds pretty overwhelming right?
Offer them that you’ll create a whole 5 a 10 page website for only $500 and that you’ll include extra services like link building, search engine optimization, fresh content, updates, hosting and even creating a business card for a little price of $100 per month. That means not only do you make $500 for creating a website, you’ll also get a recurring $100 each and every month.
You need to make it look like you know what you’re doing and are offering the best deal with extra features included, trust me most people are likely to accept because they know if they approach a web design company to create a website for them they’ll be paying around the $2000 or even more with additional costs.
The best way to start off is by asking close relatives or family to create websites for them. Two months ago I asked my uncle to create a little 5 page website and offered him a discount of 50% as well, so he paid me $250 and I completed his website in 2 weeks time. The good thing is that because he was my uncle he gave me a extra $100, so I made $350 in two weeks time, pretty good ,huh?
Now if you don’t want to take the time to learn web design you can always outsource your project. You can easily get people to create websites for you on popular forums at a cheap price of $100-$200. So you’ll still make a nice $200 or $300 profit.
If your business is going well and you are getting loads of clients, then it’s time to expand your business.
By now, you must be asking how to do that?
Well it’s pretty simple, when you get over flooded with clients you need to find partners or raise your price. Just think about this if you work alone and create 5 websites a month for $400, you’ll probably make around $2000, but if you’ll work with a partner you’ll maybe finish sites quicker so you have time for extra work and this means more money, so you need to see what suits you best.
Have you ever done this? What are your experiences?

I have created many websites for local businesses!
As soon as I mention that I have been blogging online for several years they think I am a pro web designer, which is far from the case!
It is a good way of making money, but can also be a lot of hassle!

Yes David I know it can be a lot of hassle and sometimes things don’t go your way, but once you get your check, I start thinking otherwise.
Thanks for comment.

Thats what I use to do to pay for my books in college. I had one client and all I did was update his website and he would come up with the design I would build the website to the design. It was great. Greg Ellison

I agree what you said. But it is not possible for me. I am just giving my time on my blog. So it is hard for me to make money by the way you just told us.
Well thank you for information.

Being a Blogger, recently 2-3 small companies asked me weather I would like to design a Website for their business. I readily accepted their proposal and they were willing to pay me 200$ per website(without SEO)

This is exactly what I do locally along with online business consulting. Most local businesses want an online presence, they just need our help getting it started.
