>>still NO BUSINESS!!!

Great question, lets keep it in the realm of a general discussion about what web designers are doing to draw in clients. Besides search engines, how else do you advertise your services?

I have heard repeatedly that networking is by far the most successful long-term solution to building a business. For example, I watched a good friend of mine mention to a deli owner that he should get a website and take online orders. The owner said he would think about it. The next week, he asked my friend to draw up a plan! Sometimes it can be that easy.

In the short term, advertising locally sure could boost sales. Have you gone out and "beat the streets" to find out who might be interested in your services? Web design tends to be very personalized. Because of this, I recommend going out and meeting potential clients in person.
