I am a freelance IT Telemarketing Specialist and I am looking to purchase a very simple but well designed and professional looking website.
I'm interested in talking to anyone who might be interested in exchanging their services for mine. I have experience telemarketing Web design sevices and could supply a small database and a few days lead generation in exchange for a well designed 3 or 4 page basic site for me to upload to whichever hosting service I choose.
I'm after something eye catching that sticks to the theme of my marketing literature, but doesn't look like those DIY templates companies give away with their hosting services.
I have been a freelance IT telemarketer for a while now and I would never go back. The first thing I would do is talk to business link and get some advice on running a business. The second thing I would do would be to do some major research on the web.
I simply phoned up all the IT telemarketing companies I could and asked what there rates were. I also checked out some sites that told me the average price for my services in the UK. You can then sit there and decide who much you want to earn a day and see if it would make you expensive or cheap. If your cheap then you could raise your rates a little and if your expensive you need to work harder seeling your services and justifying the extra cost.
The advice I would give you is to spend as little as possible. Then if it doesn't work out you haven't lost much. I think I set myself up for about £300. Bought a second hand computer, designed my own Logo, letter heads, business cards etc and got on the phone to get some business.
As far as getting the work, you need to buy a list of local small companies who are likely to either not have a website or have a rubbish looking template based site. Then just get on the phone.
