How to get started with your own graphic and Web Design business from ABCO Technology

Often students at ABCO Technology enrolled in the CIW Program wonder how to start  your own business, and abvoe all how to get started.  I thought occassionally, it would be a great idea to give some tips and pointers about getting started with your own web design / graphic design business.  Now before we get into some good tips, I'd like to inform everone that the training that you receive in classroom is the key to your success. As students know that all programs at ABCO Technology CIW Training are designed to give students the hands-on approach.  Now, it also then becomes the responsibility of the student to spend some time at home, and complete the classwork and homework asssigned to the student.  This would be the first step in preparing yourself to become a professional. 

Initially, after you have developed the skills, there are a few preparation steps that you will have to do in order to further your business.
  1. Create a Nifty Name for your business
  2. Register your business as sole propeitership / corporation
  3. Design and Create your business cards
  4. Design and Develop your own website
  5. Create a portfolio to showcase to your clients
  6. Create email newsletters to be sent to your clients
  7. Blog and social network your site
The afore-mentioned are pre-tasks before you start your own business.  In the weeks to come, I'm going to write some short descriptions about each of these tasks in more detail.  If you have any questions leave me a comment or visit the abco technology website
