Your live portfolio is a crucial feature that allows potential buyers to see examples of your past work. Buyers love seeing real examples before placing an order, so it's highly recommended to maintain an active live portfolio for all your jobs on Efrelance. This guide will help you understand how to manage your live portfolio effectively.
Importance of a Live Portfolio
- Showcase Your Work: Displaying your completed work helps build credibility and attracts more buyers.
- Increase Conversions: Buyers are more likely to place orders when they can see the quality of your previous work.
- Build Trust: A portfolio of real work samples demonstrates your capabilities and professionalism.
Activating the Live Portfolio
The live portfolio feature is enabled by default, allowing buyers to display or remove your work samples once a job is delivered. Here’s how to manage your live portfolio:
Steps to Add or Delete Live Portfolio Samples
- Log In:
- Go to the Efrelance website and log in to your account.
- Access Your Profile:
- Click on your profile picture to go to your public profile.
- Manage Your Portfolio:
- Within your profile, you'll find a section where your portfolio samples are displayed.
- To add new samples, click on the "Add" button and upload your work.
- To remove existing samples, select the sample you want to delete and click the "Remove" button.
Important Considerations
- Activation Point: Once you activate the live portfolio, it will only display work samples from that point forward. Past work samples will not be shown.
- Disabling Live Portfolio: If the live portfolio feature is disabled, work samples from that period cannot be added retroactively.
- Managing Specific Orders: If you prefer not to include a specific work sample in your portfolio, deliver the work in a compressed folder or use a third-party file-sharing service.
Tips for an Effective Live Portfolio
- Highlight Your Best Work: Choose samples that showcase your skills and the quality of your services.
- Keep It Updated: Regularly update your portfolio with new and relevant work samples.
- Maintain High Quality: Ensure that all samples are of high quality and accurately represent the services you offer.
