"What if clients ask for my portfolio when I'm just starting out?" After looking around for answers, this is what I've come up with.....
First, some context:
How to acquire clients when I’m just starting out?
Or
What if clients ask for my portfolio when I'm just starting out?
These kinds of questions keep popping up in my mind.
Why? Because, currently I’ve:
- No Proof of Work
- No Word of Mouth
- No Testimonials to show
How to remedy this? There are three approaches I'm going to try:
1) Cold DM or Cold Emailing with your offer and to whoever responds, offering free work in exchange of testimonials
2) Fiverr or Upwork: Search for relevant postings relating to your skill, apply to them using a loom video of how the workflow may look like, and then challenge yourself to build them even if your application is rejected.
3) Build for yourself: Automations build for your own business, are perfect way to showcase use-case & quality of your skills.
These are ways I could come up with. What has worked for you?
