multi millionaire from web design?

[Coppock]

I have this book which i think sums it up prity well on what you need to make multi millions in an industry and just don't think web design or anything like that has the means of earning mass money.

Do business in a new way
Dominate the market
Consolidate an industry
Sell to the masses

True... however it can also be summed up by;

1. Be passionate about what you're providing, why you're providing it too, and what a positive difference you're making for the buyer.
2. Persist with focus and a solid structured plan.
3. Once you're doing well think "now how can I help 10 times more people or businesses."

I'm stuck at stage 2 at the moment, but looking forward to step 3!

There's plenty to be made from web design, but not just plain old xhtml and css. You need to start thinking about investing time in web applications and/or e-commerce if you want to make a lot of money.

Think about design from your viewers point of view and sell the product you have. If it's just to market a product be clear about that.

If you want to make money as a designer you soon learn internet trends and what people like, it's harnessing that potential that makes money.

Twitter and Wikipedia are both organisations that need to make revenue streams work, I don't think twitter's new idea will work but we'll see.
