I never thought of myself as a webmaster before but for 2 of my websites I am the only person that touches them. I can do some very very basic html..but so can some 10 year olds! Other than that no, I can't do any coding.Are you sure you want to delete this post?

The term of "webmaster" is pretty vague now a days since a lot of people are starting to work online. I would say a webmaster is more of a digital and online marketer. I don't code or program my own websites because I can use wordpress or shopify to get a website or ecommerce site up and running in a few days. I don't worry about my hosting and servers because, like most people, I put my sites on third party servers managed by hosting companies. So I don't code, program or host my own websites but I still think of myself as a webmaster.
I do it all though, I don't just manage my websites. I will purchase a theme from wordpress, set up my hosting, add my theme to the hosting, configure my theme with images and plugins/add ons that I like, and then I begin the tough work of getting traffic and sales. This is why I consider myself a webmaster and online marketer at the same time.
There are so many turn key solutions out there that it's becoming more and more easy to get a website up. If I can't find what I need in a wordpress theme or something else that is cost affective, I'll hire a designer and programmer to do what I can't. This way I get everything designed and put on my hosting, then bring in the traffic
So am I a webmaster? Yes, but I'd prefer the label of Online Marketer ;) I would consider myself a webmaster since I have around 20 websites. But I can't code or program to save my life lol :D The term of "webmaster" is pretty vague now a days since a lot of people are starting to work online.

You need to manage your freelancing as a business and focus on how you can get something done in the quickest amount of time, at the highest quality, without killing your bank account lol.
