I am BEGGING you to make a portfolio.

It's the first thing editors and hiring managers are going to look at. It's part of how they vet freelancers.
Your portfolio needs to include the following:
• A little about you
• Your best work
• Your services
• Your contact information
• Testimonials
I made mine with WordPress many years ago. I share this link with anyone I want to work with: kaitlynarford.com/published-writ…

When you Google me (and editors will Google you!) it's one of the first things you see.

Are you looking for work?

Have you...shared that you're looking for work? I know this sounds obvious but I've had editors appear in my inbox after tweeting that I'm available. I've landed my favorite clients by sharing my availability!
Craft an elevator pitch for yourself. Include what you do + who you serve + why they should hire you. Include your contact information!
Your structure might look like this: Hi! I’m a freelance [title] who works with [ideal client] to solve [problem area]. Contact me at [email].

With all the discourse on here about sharing rates, I'd like to share a few resources for finding, setting, and negotiating rates:
@WhoPaysWriters is the best. If you haven't taken the time recently to add your rates (even for publications not yet listed), do it today. It takes a minute.
whopayswriters.com
@freelancingfems rate sheet. It requires an email to sign in, but has a huge Airtable full of rates freelancers have quoted. freelancingfemales.com
