Your portfolio is often the first thing brands see, so it's worth making it count ✨ A strong portfolio showcases your creativity, experience, and personality, helping you stand out from other creators.
Here are some essential sections you should consider including in your portfolio.
1. Examples of work 🎬
This is the most important part of your portfolio. Focus on quality over quantity and showcase content that highlights your editing skills, creativity, and range. Be sure to include at least one video showcasing your voice.
If possible, organize your work by niche (beauty, fitness, pets, lifestyle, etc.) to make it easy to browse and demonstrate your versatility.
💡 Tip 1: Remember to turn off autoplay! Otherwise, all your videos will play at once, creating a sensory overload when the client clicks onto your portfolio.
💡 Tip 2: Just getting started? Create a few "fake briefs" featuring your favourite products or brands to build out your portfolio.
2. Client logos & experience ⭐
Featuring brands you've worked with helps build credibility and shows potential clients your experience.
If you have testimonials or positive feedback from previous collaborations, even better!
3. About you 👋
This is your chance to show some personality. Share who you are, what type of content you create, and anything that makes you unique.
Useful things to include:
Where you're based
Your age
Your favourite content niches
Relevant experience or skills
4. Rates 💰
You don't need a detailed rate card, but sharing a starting price for a standard video can help set expectations and save time for both you and potential clients.
5. Contact & socials 📱
Make it easy for brands to reach you.
Always include your email address, even if you also use a contact form. You can also add links to your social channels to showcase your style and experience across different platforms.
