Currently, I'm having to market my services due to an economic downturn. I tried promoting my services on social media and I get no response, I try using classified ads and still get no response. I'm just wondering if Web Design services are dead, due to squarespace and all of those do-it-yourself web services or am I marketing to the wrong channels. Networking always works however you can't scale that. I just want to be able to put an ad up and get a response. Any thoughts?

I would say, don't wait for the business to come to you, contact the businesses directly and start with, 'Do you want to improve your web services for your customers?' or something.
It’s hard to market this talent as a freelancer. How about a website with portfolio of your work and then include that in your ad or posts?
Yeah I've done many things but nothing seems to generate engagement or response. I've been in this industry for 17 years doing graphic design and the like. Are you saying that freelancing is a dead industry?
No. I am just saying it’s probably harder than a regular job. Either ways I am just speaking from assumptions and have no real experience in either design or freelance.
