Perhaps the MOST important question.My short answer is to use your website to promote your services. In this way you are getting great, focused advertising for little more than sweat equity and being yourself (a thought leader on something you are passionate about.)A secondary approach is possible as well by: offering tools for download (such as Photoshop actions, filters for FInal Cut Pro etc.), music (via iTunes etc.), ebooks, access to forums, Wordpress templates for download, etc.A combination of the above is preferable.Currently I go with the <strong>first route</strong>. My blog brings me clients who like my work. It also brings me speaking engagements, which bring in even more clients. I will add the <strong>second route</strong> later down the road as I develop tools and ebooks that people will want to purchase.To do this question any justice, I will need to write a detailed blog post and share what I know.You have a great website. You have a great logo. You have a great viewpoint. Keep building your audience and integrate the above strategies in as you are able. I'll get to work on the blog post.-Kirk Hi Mike,

Very good question. Perhaps the MOST important question.

My short answer is to use your website to promote your services. In this way you are getting great, focused advertising for little more than sweat equity and being yourself (a thought leader on something you are passionate about.)

A secondary approach is possible as well by:
offering tools for download (such as Photoshop actions, filters for FInal Cut Pro etc.),
music (via iTunes etc.),
ebooks,
access to forums,
WordPress templates for download,
etc.

A combination of the above is preferable.

Currently I go with the first route. My blog brings me clients who like my work. It also brings me speaking engagements, which bring in even more clients.
I will add the second route later down the road as I develop tools and ebooks that people will want to purchase.

To do this question any justice, I will need to write a detailed blog post and share what I know.

You have a great website. You have a great logo. You have a great viewpoint. Keep building your audience and integrate the above strategies in as you are able. I’ll get to work on the blog post.

-Kirk

People seem to like what I've been producing and I've been getting some hits... now for the big question. How do I make some money? - Mike Okay, I’ve built a website, filled it with local content and have been busy establishing myself as a brand.
