Build your Portfolio

Your portfolio is your handshake, your resume, and your pitch deck all in one. And most creators either do not have one or have one that is actively costing them deals.

This guide walks you through building a portfolio that converts - from the free Canva option all the way to a real live website that brands can Google. No tech degree required.

What is inside:

The exact checklist of what every portfolio needs to include before you send it to a single brand

The Canva portfolio option - which templates to choose, which fonts actually look professional, how to embed your videos so brands can watch without leaving the page

The GitHub Pages free website walkthrough - a real live URL at yourname.github.io, built step by step with no coding experience needed

AI prompts to build an animated, mobile-optimized portfolio website that looks like a web designer made it

How and when to display your rates on your portfolio (and when to use "contact for rates" instead)

The email signature hack - how to share your portfolio in every cold pitch without triggering spam filters

Custom domain setup (how to get yourname.com for under $12/year)

Mobile optimization tips so your portfolio looks perfect on every brand manager's phone

Basic SEO so brands can actually find you on Google

This guide is for you if:

You have been sending pitches with no portfolio link attached

Your current portfolio is a Canva PDF you made in 2022 and never updated

You want a real website but assumed it required coding

You want brands to land on something that immediately says "this creator is a professional"

Two options. One guide. Zero excuses.
