347 - If I started today, how I would get web design clients (5 ways)

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

I recently published a newsletter sharing 5 ways I would get clients if I were starting out in web design today in 2024.
It got a lot of great feedback from both early-stage web designers and established web designers looking for a revenue boost alike - so I decided to expand on these 5 strategies as a full podcast!
We’ll dive into each of these strategies, how I would go about them and how I would execute on them in detail.
In short:

• Join a referral group
• Utilize LinkedIn
• Create local SEO targeted YouTube videos
• Host an interview series
• Start a monthly newsletter

Again, even if you’re established as a freelancer or web biz owner, you can implement some of these strategies as well to get more clients.
But man if I was an early-stage web designer…I would’ve loved to have this roadmap when I got started! So I hope it helps. 🙂
