RE: Webmastering/Graphics Design, how can I refine my skills with an entrepreneurial mindset? entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Not really sure how to word this, so I apologize if this isn't the right avenue.

I'm self taught in building websites and graphics. I started when I was young learning how to connect domains with hosting services and building basic sites with HTML. Didn't get too into it, came back to dabbling once I learned about Wordpress. Same sort of thing happened with Photoshop, though I never used my photoshop skills for anything worthwhile, always for photo edits and lame artistic competitions.

So this brings me to present day, I've started to get more and more requests for site builds and graphic designs, but I have no formal training. I have created a brand logo that is being sold in stores now, I have a T-shirt design that sold a few thousand shirts, and I have built a few websites for local businesses in my area. I'm fine with the simple builds and the quick logo designs, but I'm afraid that I'm going to lose out on a bigger opportunities because I'm not sure how to do this stuff in a professional manner. The whole self-teaching works to a degree, but I'm really missing out because I've just learn to wing-it/cut corners so often.

What can I do to learn the "tricks of the trade" and learn how to round the edges for potential customers?

Next question, is how do I price myself at this point? I've been working for next to nothing because I've never done this professionally. I dont know how to set invoices up or quotes because I'm not sure what anything that I'm doing is worth.

Thank you!
