Take on clients and show them your blog and how visible everything is. Your clients must need to trust you and know you are staying within the community. If your clients can trust you, they won’t have no problem forking over the web design costs before you do the actual web design.

If you have no work to back you up. You can’t expect someone to give you money upfront if you have zero work to show for.

By creating a web design blog and blogging about your experiences. You can create a name for yourself in the web design industry and when you get better so does your name and your business.

As long, as you keep focusing on getting better and increasing your skill you have nothing to worry about. Someone who keeps a well maintained blog and learns daily on their chosen subject will prosper greatly.

There are many people who have done this and continue to do this time and time again. So if you are interested in being a web designer. Get serious and start a blog.
