How do you generate leads for web design?
 

Cold calls, email, small business networking, word of mouth, guerrilla marketing...

So far my mainstream business has been word of mouth.

I have been thinking of guerrilla marketing tactic.

What are you doing?

I do Wordpress design and development too and I get most clients by word-of-mouth but I need more client, so I am starting with Craigslist & Backpage. I know there are bunches of weirdo's on both sites but wtf? they are free.

Try promoting on different forums and post about your services. The more you get seen, the more customers you will receive.

word of mouth...

Try sites like odesk and vworker, bid on jobs and you end up getting long term clients.

I will try that out.
Thank You

I peel myself off my chair and venture outdoors. I just cold call on business, 50% success rate see's me back home by 10:00 am

I would definably go business to business with brocheirs and leave them for the owners. Have a flat rate $199 a year for everything, these guys are probably tech illiterate and need a simple cost effective solution. Also let them know it's a tax write off.

Find some local business networking meetings. Most cities have plenty of them. I have been to a few and get new customers all the time.

try posting on free lancer boards. spamming on forums will probably get you the worst type of customers (cheap assholes).

try setting up a facebook/twitter account and blast out promos or even partner with another company that offers advertising and do a cross promo offer

This works very well.

You'll get tons of biz If you like people and have "the gift of gab" :thumbsup:thumbsup

I like mass posting on Craigslist

There's a few breakfast and lunch networking.

Check out Le Tip. I've done tons of biz there. Its a good one
