Webmaster: ****

Some people are not sure what the difference between a Webmaster and a Web designer is; these are two very different services. While a Web designer creates a Web site for individuals, a Webmaster maintains and continuously updates information on a daily or weekly basis. Some Webmasters also work as contractors, where they find and hire individuals to do various jobs associated with the Web site’s design and maintenance.

Business Overview:

Maintain Web site’s information and various aspects of the Web site.

Education/Skills:

Understanding Web hosting procedures and Web design programs will be helpful. Although you will not be designing the program, you will need to use a Web designing program to update the site.

Show Me the Money: $$$$

Webmasters can charge an hourly rate of $30 to $50 or a weekly rate of $200 to $800. Depending on how many clients they can handle on a weekly basis, Webmasters can make anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 or more annually.

Business Equipment:

You should have high-speed Internet, a Web design program, coding software, database software, and reference books.

Business Base:

This is strictly an at-home business.

Clientele:

There is no set group of clientele for this business, but Web site owners, businesses, and firms looking to have a Web site produced will make up the majority of your clients.

Starting Point:

You can find work from the freelance boards that were provided at the beginning of this chapter. You can also contact Web designers who do not have an affiliation with other Webmasters and create a business affiliation relationship with them.
