Once again, great video for the new people that want to start their own Design Business / Website Business etc. I only have to mention 2 important things.

1) You can also buy a reseller hosting with WHMCS where you'll be able to have separate cPanel Accounts for each customers, more secure and giving also the freedom to the client to manage their own Account, Emails, etc. or to suspend them in for some reason they didn't paid you. You have your own Hosting Business also.
2) Charging your clients for plugins like Builders, etc. it's completely wrong in my opinion, because you we got paid to build their website and it's our responsibility to have our own tools, like a car mechanic, a dentist etc. If they need more security or some other features, then it's ok to tell them they have to pay for them.

Once again, thank you for sharing with us such a good content every time! Cheers from Greece

I want to thank you- your tutorials and videos helped me build my site from scratch. I had never used Elementor, and now I have a running website. I am constantly making a few changes and hope to get it to a place where it looks like a pro built it. :)

Thank you. I love your presentations and your passion and work ethic. Of course most people understand the high level of competition that there is for web and design services, its not that easy and it gets harder all the time. Your formula is correct when it is going well but its important to understand that managing your business is a different set of skills and the best designer in the world may not ne a great manager or business person. I feel that the important steps should be taken slowly and steadily, attention to detail and be the best at each step you can be.

Hi Rino, Thanks for all the information. I'm a little bit confused because in one of your videos from 2 years ago "How to handle hosting for your client" you strongly suggested not handling hosting for your client but in this video, you suggested doing it!

[hastwper]

Hi rino I'm wondering if you could make a video of the whole process from proposing the client to discussion and delivering. I'd really appreciate that

[CliffTam]

Thank you for this video. I started out in upwork bc I have some exp w WordPress and coding. The competition is very high. For one job, even a small one, there are many people making an offer.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am about to graduate in the spring and just feel like I am overwhelmed about what to do next. This helped tremendously!

I would also recommend ClickUp as a free project management tool, you can also create a CRM out of it among other features. Free plan but the paid plan is very cheap.

Everything is cool, But Sharing some insights regarding how to get Clients through Social Media would be really helpful!

I actually lead with a monthly subscription. I will undersell with the initial startup cost/deposit and offer a $50 per month fee. Then I maintain and upkeep the website, which isn’t a lot of work.

I live in South Africa btw where $50 is quite a lot 👌

Its currently blackfriday week be sure to check retailers instead of Apple themselves if you plan on buying a macbook. Saved me 300 euros.

Hi bro, really interesting video! Im from Uruguay and I'm starting this. The idea of the Google Sheets table with all the steps is really useful, i thinked the same and for me it was super productive!

[antware]

Great vid, what about accountants, accounting (bookkeeping software) etc. Would be great to a have a video on that.

[isukwithnames]

Can you do a video covering everything from pitching to clients and how to handle site handoff (I plan to use Elementor personal dev and hosting plan)

[vsbefree]

Hi Rino - you mention buying the package for multiple websites... how do you manage it when a client wants to go with another designer or agency and they want to move their website from your hosting? How do you create a separate account for them?

[gogogabor]

Thanks!

Can you share your full check up list, what we can see at 07:46?

[conceptualstudy]

When you engage with a client they usually have a set price when coming in. It’s your job to raise the value. Could be if your making them an extra $15k or whatever and explaining that you were service will drive more users and make it easier for users to navigate book you, and by the clients products, etc. Also, another business tip don’t give us a price until you’ve asked him very good questions you know how much revenue you’re going to make from them with your service how much are they going to make a month they’re making good amount of revenue charge a lot charge three or US$4000.😊 when you’re cheap and you’re cheap out on your self clients notice that then if they come back, they will always expect that low. She pay Ivin $1000 is cheap not worth anyone’s time to do a project that small.

Thank you for your great recommendations, actually I am working in a client project with asana and for my own development with notion, it’s helps a lot. Actually I want to take a course of Figma, to learn the wireframes. Greetings from southern Germany.
