Web site development clients

So far I have not had a single inquiry from anyone interested in a web site. I blame it on the fact that I haven't advertised anywhere other than the web. Actually, I have my hands full right now trying to keep up with the homework from my web design class. From what I have found it takes a while before the search engines get your site listed. The one client I have, started getting more results after his site had been around for a year. I hope to have at least a few more clients by this time next year. I would really like to be able to make a living doing this kind of work. But I seriously doubt that it will ever happen. Someday I might find a way to generate enough online income to do this full time. But if that happens it will be the result of something I haven't thought of yet.
