Is Designing Websites a Good Idea?
I was released from my tech support job on Monday. Although I disliked that job, I needed the money from it because I was saving up to move out in July with my friend.
Although my parents want me to get another job, I feel that if I would happen to get another job, I might be released again through no fault of my own. It's really frustrating to go out and look for a job (although it might be a bit easier since it isn't winter anymore) and once you find a job to be released a month later.
In the meantime from now until July-August, I want to pursue creating websites for other people. I realize that people nowadays can build a website themselves with little technical know-how. However, people can be lazy and may not want to deal with creating a website.
What do you guys think? Could building websites be a reasonable source of income? How should I market myself? Should I put ads in the local paper or build a website in order to generate sales outside of my local area?
I'm pretty new at starting a new business so any suggestions would be appreciated.
