I’ve been making my living online for 8 years now and have never had a problem getting leads. We’ve always had web design work, as a matter of fact if no one had told me that there was a recession going on I wouldn’t have even known about it.

However, last week for the first time I felt the leads start to slow down a bit and now this week we’ve not even had a one. It’s a scary feeling.

So…what does this mean for my web design business?

It means unlike most people, who start looking for ways to cut cost, I’ll be looking for ways to better market my business. At this time in my life and in the life of my web design business I just can’t afford to participate in the recession.

We are currently finishing up our last ten web design jobs and should be totally out of work by this time next week, so it’s time for me to get started with some serious marketing. Sometimes we have to dig down deep and see what we are made of. And this is one of those times.
