[THE DEEP DIVE]:

Zero-Code, Max-Conversion: The Lean Portfolio Framework

Most creators overcomplicate this step. You don’t need a custom-coded website to land five-figure deals. Here is the exact structure to build a high-converting page today.

1. The Tech Stack (Keep it Free)

Stop paying for expensive website builders. Speed and accessibility win here.

* Canva Websites: If you can design a social post, you can build a stunning one-page site here.

* Copyfol.io: Minimalist and built specifically for writers and creators.

* Carrd: The gold standard for simple, responsive, one-page sites.

2. The "Above the Fold" Strategy

Brand managers are busy. They need to know who you are and what you do in less than 3 seconds without scrolling. Your top section must include:

* A Clear Headline: "I Create UGC That Converts" beats "My Portfolio" every time.

* Your Face: A professional, high-energy headshot builds instant trust.

* The CTA: A massive button that says "Let's Work Together."

3. Curate, Don't Dump

Do not upload every video you’ve ever filmed. Showcase a "Featured Reel" at the top, followed by a gallery of your top 4-6 videos only.

* Tip: Group them by niche (e.g., Beauty, Tech, Apps) so brands can find relevant examples fast.

* Social Proof: Sandwiched between your videos and contact form, place brand logos and 1-2 punchy testimonials.

4. Eliminate Friction

A beautiful portfolio is useless if they can't figure out how to pay you.

* The Bookend Rule: Put a "Let's Work Together" button at the very top and the very bottom.

* The Form: Embed a free form (using Tally or Jotform) asking for their Name, Brand, and Project Scope. This turns a passive viewer into an active lead immediately.

Will Your Retirement Income Last?

A successful retirement can depend on having a clear plan. Fisher Investments’ The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income can help you calculate your future costs and structure your portfolio to meet your needs. Get the insights you need to help build a durable income strategy for the long term.

[PRO TIP OF THE WEEK]

Embed your intake form directly on the page.

Don't make brands click a mailto: link to open their email app—that adds friction. Use a free tool like Tally.so to embed a clean questionnaire at the bottom of your portfolio. This allows you to capture the lead while their interest is highest and saves you from the "what are your rates/goals?" email ping-pong.
