FreelancePortfolios.com Helps
Freelancers Market Their Services to Clients Worldwide
FreelancePortfolios.com
is a new website that lets freelancers create an online portfolio of their
freelance services, client list and samples, and helps freelancers market their
services to clients locally, nationally and internationally. It is a free
service and available at
http://www.FreelancePortfolios.com
FreelancePortfolios.com was designed, crafted and created by Brian Konradt, a
former freelance writer and graphic designer.
Says Konradt, "Back in
the early 1990s we didn't have the Internet to flash our portfolios in front of
potential clients. Our marketing tactics were very different: lots of print
advertising, PR, direct mail, and peddling business cards to and from
networking events. It was expensive and time-consuming sometimes."
The
Internet has changed the dynamics of marketing, according to Konradt. "Lounging
at our desk in our pajamas we can easily pitch our wares of writing services to
local, national and international clients who are seeking freelance talent.
Marketing our freelance services via the Internet is faster and cheaper."
Mr. Konradt created FreelancePortfolios.com to provide freelancers with
another venue to market their services and secure clients. "I know how
troublesome it can be to find your next client or freelance gig," says Konradt.
"I always advise freelancers to continually market their services through many
different venues so that freelance opportunities flow plentifully."
In
1996 when the Internet was becoming more accessible to the public, Mr. Konradt
noticed how freelancers were harnessing the Internet to be more productive and
make more money. "I remember writing an extensive article for a magazine,
titled, 'Web Portfolios.' In my article I revealed how freelancers were
launching their own website to advertise their services, samples and client
list, as well as to communicate and work with clients. This was revolutionary
at that time because it was a new marketing tactic that reduced marketing
expenses and increased profit and productivity."
Says Konradt,
"Researching and writing this article gave me the idea that one day I would
provide a service to help freelancers market themselves more efficiently and
effectively via the Internet."
Mr. Konradt invested his own money and
time to make FreelancePortfolios.com a reality, and says he will keep
FreelancePortfolios.com as a free service. "I feel such delight when I can help
other freelancers to succeed," says Konradt. "I hope this website can make
freelancing a bit easier for freelancers who want more freelance
opportunities."
FreelancePortfolios.com is maintained by the
webmasters of FreelanceWriting.com (http://www.freelancewriting.com), a website for freelance
writers who want to master the business and creative aspects of their writing
careers.
