To be a web designer that works from anywhere, it's not that difficult to do as long as you have a laptop and a wifi connection It's no secret that having a well designed website is one of the main things that gets people to sign up for your services or pay you for a product. This means that if you're a good web designer, you can work from anywhere and people will pay you for your work
Your website is the first impression someone gets of you and your business. If it has a bad design, people will usually think your business isn't as good as your competitors. Think of it as handing out a business card, you would want a nice looking card so people think "Yeah, he knows his stuff" right?
If you personally don't have the skills to do all the coding work yourself, don't worry, there are ways to outsource the work to a credible designer but you'll have to find someone that is good at what they do and will accept a fraction of what you're making on the design.
A web design company is very cheap to start up. If you have all the skills to do the design yourself then you just have to pay for a domain and hosting which will cost up to $25 in your first month and then $3 to $15 a month after that. If you're going the outsourcing route to a designer you're partnering with, they can set up the website or you can get a web design template on wordpress and run it like that
You can find some cheap advertising spots for around $50 or less and they can be extremely profitable. Think of it, if you are selling web designs for $500+ and you get just one client per ad spot, you'll make a 1,000% ROI on that one spot And we all know that web designs can be marked up even higher at $3,000 to $20,000+
If you buy the template you're looking at upwards of $75. So the most it will cost you is $100 your first month to start up a web design service
The main thing I tell people is that you have to be unique and give amazing customer support. If you can't provide those, you'll most likely fail.

Why should a designer choose the hard way and make its own company, when designers are so well paid in the west for example? A simple day job can ensure a good salary while some freelancing on the side can make life even better. It works for me and I'm not even in a first world country.
I'm not saying don't do it! Just that it's really hard to get to a point when you actually make decent money, you'll have to work 10 times harder than a guys working at an agency. I think starting your own design company is pretty difficult, I've seen so many fails on this niche it's not even funny. One guys company is not going to take you anywhere from my point of view, it's simply not that different from normal freelancing and it's not worth it, especially for very developed countries where the cost of living is high.
