how to create a freelance portfolio using Notion (+ free template & step by step walkthrough)

[@sravanthiTNS]

Hello Deya, I really liked the way you've explained in this video on how to create a portfolio in Notion. As a PM, I've been searching for one such video and then stopped by your channel. I'm very happy to find this on the right time. Thank you so much. Right now, I'm subscribing to your channel.

[@khalidelgazzar]

My takeaways are: - 2 calls of action (the book 20 mins free consultation) is really nice - Different separate portfolios for different roles / tasks.

Hey Deya I just stumbled in your page , I’ve been a freelancer for 20 years and I’ve moved into a new area of the country and it’s been extremely hard to get into my previous industry in my new location - your videos have helped me gain confidence Thank you. 😊

This video is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing and walking through all the details. Can't wait to try it 😊

[@olileanyaajala6645]

You are a very awesome individual. Thanks for this. It really helped! It wouldn't occur to a lot of people to duplicate it in their own workspace. That's the only part you missed lol. This platform needs more amazing people like you.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Thanks for the feedback, Olileanya! I'm so glad you like it! :)

[@iamnottswift]

HI Deya, Thank you so much for sharing these resources with all of us. I'm so excited! I literally just finished my portfolio and I'm excited to start prospecting new clients for the year, tomorrow. Also, I hope you don't mind but I've recommended two other friends starting their own business to check out your channel. Trying to pay it forward! Thanks again. 😁✨

[@terimantey4695]

Deya, loved this video (as always), Cannot wait to use the template for my portfolio. I am going to take you up on the offer to review my help statement. Here is it: "I help busy female entrepreneurs innovate their systems and operations, organize the chaos and manage their teams so they can dedicate more time to being the creative force behind their business." Your advice is appreciated. Thanks.

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hi Teri! Thanks so much for the kind words. I like your 'I help' statement! I think it's very clear. An interesting question for you to think on could be: Is this in the voice of my target audience? Are these terms/words/phrases that my ideal clients use to describe their problems and deepest desires? This will help you hone your 'I help' statement as you talk more and more with your ideal clients on calls, via email, etc. :)

[@terimantey4695]

@@MyNameIsDeya Thanks Deya. I'll keep those questions in mind and I hone in more on my ideal client. I've been revising my 'I help' statement as I've been going through the application process and realizing which jobs really appeal to me and which ones don't.

This video was exactly what I needed to begin my journey as a tech writer. However, your video caters more to graphic designers than writers. Do you have any tips to help me design a portfolio for my field?

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hi Donna! I'd include links to your writing samples in your portfolio and use a screenshot of the writing sample as the preview image. :)

I would love to get your advice on my I help statement, "I help Architects present their ideas as Impressive illustrations so that they impress their clients in giving the project to them."

[@shawndell3437]

I'm struggling to define my niche and 'I help' statement. I used to work as a video editor with small production companies, but now I work solo after moving. I’m not comfortable planning or filming shoots on my own and am having trouble connecting with local production companies. I need clients who already have footage or are open to using stock footage since it's tough to explain how much work goes into creating original content.

[@eeva3200]

What about if you're newly starting out and dont have client testimonials?

As a beginner though I just came from a regular office job. How could I make my portfolio? Taking a class? I need money right now.

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

Create a fake one 😊

[@michailajordinneponce7128]

@@Rebecca-qg8pb yeah. Or create a true one but showcase what you can offer and no need to mention where you applied it. because I came from a school where I used those skills? also in an office where I used those skills. Cuz I have skills for real.

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

@@michailajordinneponce7128 yes showcase what u can offer, people will hire u to help them not because of status, if they see u know what u are doing they would hire u because they want to get their money worth. But if they ask there is nothing wrong saying it is a sample copy showcasing your skills, they are hiring u for the skills after all, not the clients u worked for. Hope this helps 😊

I am not a fan of video calls how can I stick to phone calls only. I have camera fright if that's a thing plus I don't look good in it

[@tinymegh]

Hi Deya, this was such a helpful video; thank you! I have a few questions if you don't mind. 1. I am confused about what to put as my title next to my name. I currently work a 9-5 in the PR industry, but I want to start freelancing as a content writer for both long and short-format content on the side for now. Please suggest something that would be appropriate! 2. Please review my help statement: "I help businesses and entrepreneurs with different forms of content as per their requirements so they can have consistency in their content and ensure well-researched content for their audience." Thank you!

[@MyNameIsDeya]

Hey Meghna! I think Content Writer is perfectly okay to start! Once you discover your target clients/industry/niche, then you can get more specific on your title. If you want to write for a specific platform, I would already clarify that (e.g. KZbin Script Writer, etc) -- but if you're open to all platforms, I think leaving it as Content Writer is clear. Your "I help" statement is a good start! It is a bit long, and it doesn't tell me what's in it for the client beyond the content writing. Why do they want good content? How does it benefit their business to have well-researched and consistent content output? And can you make your statement more succinct? (E.g. I don't think 'as per their requirements' is necessary - that's kind of assumed when you work with a client.)

[@tinymegh]

@@MyNameIsDeya Thank you for your inputs! I'll shorten my "I help" statement and try to include something the client can benefit from what I offer. Thank you once again! :)
