    The real challenge for me, and I think most people, is branding yourself. As a designer I can brand other people no problem, but as soon as it’s for me.... I just hit a wall. Every time. Overcoming self doubt about this is also a key stumbling block. That said, this was a good reminder to really kick myself up the arse and sort this out. Thanks man.,

      Same here. It’s like people don’t want to spend the money for pictures. I always get into discussions with people about doing it but once it comes to money they don’t want to really do it.

    I remember you talking about Instagram being "the new portfolio" like 3-4 years ago in a video, and ever since then I started upping my game there. But I started realising otherwise like a year ago - more clients want a website where they can choose what category of work they want to see. It's overall more professional... and the quality doesn't get compressed. But your tip overall helped me be more picky with what I post on instagram, witch I also think is important!

    Excellent video and so true. As pro sports photog for over 10 years running, with 100+ teams I’ve never set up a website to showcase a portfolio or video work I’ve completed.. since starting a YT channel, this is SOOOO TRUE because a possible client may seek out our channel, and that would not entirely reflect the capacity of work that we can execute.

The biggest thing is learning your audience and what they are looking for. This is my 4th and newest channel and I have learnt this the hard way. I do product reviews and people shopping want the info quickly. I can make a 10 minute video and it gets 50% viewed or I can make a 3 minute video that gets watched almost 100%.

Don’t try to force your potential clients into your world; give them a publicly accessible website. No animosity intended, but there are businesses I don’t work with because the only way to learn about them is through “social media” sites I do not use. Also, if you work for local government/schools/services; make sure you aren’t making this same mistake. Because you will be blocking citizens/parents from participating if you communicate only via closed “social media” systems.

    Loved this video. Having a physical portfolio that people can touch and view, or a dedicated, curated space is huge.

    Was just learning from The Futur about your Instagram not being your portfolio. Chris Do said that if you make your Instagram your portfolio, you may become "too precious" with what you can or can't post. He said social media should be just that: social. Have a conversation. Start a conversation. Interact and engage and keep your portfolio as that -- your portfolio.

      A collection of your work. So technically it is. Although for purposes of this video, it may not be the very best one. As you move up, you need to become more sophisticated.
