As a freelancer, you might end up showcasing your work on your blog or website, which makes sense, but there are times when you want to showcase it elsewhere. For example if your site design isn’t conducive to the kind of work you want to display or if you want to use your site for providing value while you save your self-promotion for your portfolio and/or CV.
So in this blog post, I want to give you a few different places that you might consider to post your portfolio or CV for prospective clients.
- Drop.io is a free, easy-to-use site that lets you upload many different kinds of content and configure the site to display your work freely or via a password. There’s a fair amount of storage, too: 100Mbs. This is a good place for visual artists, writers, and designers.
- Carbonmade seems a little weird when you first click there but once you check out the portfolios it’s better. This is the place for visual freelancers like illustrators and photographers. Click here to read more »
As you’ve heard me complain from time to time, there are only 24 hours in a day. That’s fine if your hourly rate is tens of thousands of dollars an hour but for most freelancers it isn’t. So to make more money, you need to augment the time you spend writing by selling something that doesn’t take you time to do after someone has bought it. Creating and selling digital products through Clickbank is one way to augment your income.

Freelancing is my life. It's what I know, it's what I'm good at, and I can't imagine doing anything else. You can call me "Freddie the Freelancer"… because I'd prefer not to use my real name for reasons that I'll tell you about in a moment.
