Make Money Online: Amateur Web and Graphic Designers

February 28th, 2010 // In Tips and Tutorials // 33 Babbles

Are you one of those Amateur Web and Graphic Designers? Do you want to Make Money Online by Freelancing Job? Then here are some tips for you to make money online by doing freelance  job at home.

Being a web/graphic designer is not easy. You need to study by yourself, explore the world of Internet, communicate with the clients and compete with other international web/graphic designers.

You should think that you are not the only web/graphic designer in this world! There are lots of designers who are into freelancing, not only you. Always think that you are not the BEST one! You should know that the clients are not inquiring only from one designer. They are also inquiring from other designers and dealing with the best price and quality of design. Yes, they need to compare you from the other designers. That is what we called, “may the best designer win!That’s why you need to try your best so that the client will choose your quality and price.

Here are some websites where this techie girl started her  freelance job. For those who want to try web/graphic design freelance job, these are my recommended websites.

For the newbies, here is the best site for you.
* DigitalPoint – Discussion related to search engines, including optimization, marketing, tools and other technical aspects.

For those  well experienced web/graphic designers, here is the best site for you.
* 99designs – Need something designed? Crowdsource it to our community of thousands of designers. Choose a winning design from hundreds of concepts created for you in under a week.

For those  professional web/graphic designers, here is the best site for you.
* Freelancer – Global outsourcing solution and freelance jobs website. Here you can find freelance coders, writers, programmers, designers, marketers and more. You can also outsource projects and save a lot of money in the process.

Not only on these sites, you can also try to communicate with the clients via private e-mail. It’s better if you check his/her profile. If there’s a lot of designers, then there’s a lot of scammers too! Always think of that! Do not look on how well they can communicate with you. Again, do not think that you are the BEST among the other designers. Be humble and friendly.

I hope this post helps you on how to make money online. If you want an advice, do not hesitate to approach me :wink: Thanks for reading!

    Hi alljects, para kasi saken mas maganda ung wordpress. Mas maraming plugins na pwedeng install and yung mga gusto mong ilagay or gawin sa blog mo, magagawa mo tlga basta’t mag se-search ka lang. Katulad na lang ng spam protection, may plugin na ang tawag ay “Akismet Configuration” at siya yung nag cocollect ng mga spams sa blog mo ;-) Try mo i-configure maaayos mo yan :)

    Pwede kang magedit dyan sa wordpress para makapag-edit ka ng theme. Sa dashboard mo siya mae-edit. Ano bang gamit mong wordpress? WordPress.com or may sarili kang domain?

    Hi Dan! Musta? 1st year college ka na ba? Sorry I forgot. You want to focus in Web Programming? WOOaah! That was great! You have a good choice! In-demand na kasi mga web programmers ngayon unlike web designers but they are both in high-level. Web Programmers kase tlga ang nasa likod ng bawat transactions on web that’s why :) I still know you even if you change your name. Hahaha! Avatar ba naman eh :wink: See you around Dan!

    Hi Ate Sab, Finally you did another blog post. :smile: BTW, regarding to your post Ate Sab. May Account ako sa 99 Designs then I tried to make an Entry, ang sakit sa ulo kasi kailangan maganda yung Project. Kaya tumigil nalang ako ang gagaling kasi ng ibang designer. Befor I forgot Ate, My Blog was converted po, and I changed also the domain. Check nyu nalang po Ate Sab :smile: . Nice Post Ate Sab, very helpful especially for those Graphic Designers who want to make money online.

    Hello Jonard! It’s nice to know that you are starting to explore and compete in graphic designing. I have my account there too and it’s really hard to compete with professionals. Hey, I have already changed your link from my friend site links :D Your welcome Jonard! DigitalPoint is my recommendation for you. Try it :wink:
