About Us
FreelancePortfolios.com
was designed, crafted and created by Brian Konradt, a former freelance writer
and graphic designer, who ran his own freelance business between 1992 and 1996.
If you've heard of Mr. Konradt before, it might be because he had penned and
published many articles on freelancing and drew a loyal following of
freelancers who read his stuff. Mr. Konradt discontinued his freelance business
in October 1996 to focus more on establishing himself as an Internet
entrepreneur.
Says Konradt, "Back in the early 1990s we didn't have the
Internet to flash our portfolios in front of potential clients. Our marketing
tactics were very different: lots of print advertising, PR, direct mail, and
peddling business cards to and from networking events. It was expensive and
time-consuming sometimes." The Internet has changed the dynamics of marketing,
according to Konradt. "Lounging at our desk in our pajamas we can easily pitch
our wares of writing services to local, national and international clients who
are seeking freelance talent. Marketing our freelance services via the Internet
is faster and cheaper."
Mr. Konradt created FreelancePortfolios.com to
provide freelancers with another venue to market their services and secure
clients. "I know how troublesome it can be to find your next client or
freelance gig," says Konradt. "I always advise freelancers to continually
market their services through many different venues so that freelance
opportunities flow plentifully."
In 1996 when the Internet was becoming
more accessible to the public, Mr. Konradt noticed how freelancers were
harnessing the Internet to be more productive and make more money. "I remember
writing an extensive article for a magazine, titled, 'Web Portfolios.' In my
article I revealed how freelancers were launching their own simple website to
advertise their services, samples and client list, as well as to communicate
and work with clients. This was revolutionary at that time because it was a new
marketing tactic that reduced marketing expenses and increased profit and
productivity."
Says Konradt, "Researching and writing this article gave
me the idea that one day I would provide a service to help freelancers market
themselves more efficiently and effectively via the Internet."
Mr.
Konradt invested his own money and time to make FreelancePortfolios.com a
reality, and says he will keep FreelancePortfolios.com as a free service. "I
feel such delight when I can help other freelancers to succeed," says Konradt.
"I hope this website can make freelancing a bit easier for freelancers who want
more freelance opportunities."
Mr. Konradt is still active online. Visit
