Squarespace Website Designer | AI Video Creator💻
Helping business owners build high-converting websites & market products that sell

[ByGift Studio @ByGiftStudio]

I've been freelancing for years, quietly designing digital products for clients, and honestly, I never saw the need to put myself out there.

I even avoided this app because of how chaotic it can get 😂

But after watching Damola's interview @I_amDamola with Kemi @iksly2, I started seeing things differently.

So here I am.

I'm now expanding into conversion-focused web design and AI video ads, helping businesses think beyond just having a beautiful website.

I'll be sharing my work, the psychology behind my design decisions, what I'm learning, and how I'm building from scratch.

If you're into design, business, or AI marketing, let's connect. 🤝

Sometimes we spend so much time worrying about what we haven't achieved that we forget how much we've learned.

Take a look at something you created a year ago.

You might be surprised by your own progress. ❤️

If you're working on your portfolio this week, what part are you finding difficult?

Choosing projects? Writing case studies? Finding good mockups? Explaining your work?

Let's discuss it. Someone here might have a useful suggestion.

You keep applying for freelance jobs, but nobody seems interested in your portfolio.

Before assuming the market is overcrowded, take a closer look at what you're showing people.

Imagine you're a business owner looking for someone to design a website.

You visit two portfolios.

The first has 20 beautiful website screenshots, but there's no explanation of what the designer actually did.

The second has five projects. Each explains the business, its target audience, the design decisions, and what the designer was trying to achieve.

Which one would help you make a more informed hiring decision?

Here's something worth trying:

Choose your three strongest projects.

For each one, explain:

• What the project was about.
• What problem needed solving.
• What you were responsible for.
• Why you chose that approach.
• What the final result looked like.

If you have genuine performance data, include it. If you don't, explain the intended outcome without inventing numbers.

Clients need to understand how you think, not just admire what you've created.

[ByGift Studio @ByGiftStudio]

One question I see beginners asking is, "How do I build a portfolio when nobody has hired me yet?"

You don't necessarily need to wait for a paying client.

Start with a realistic practice project.

For example, imagine a small skincare business that's preparing to launch.

Give the business a name, decide who its customers are, identify what the website needs to accomplish, and design a few important pages.

Then document your process.

Explain why you placed certain information where you did and how you approached the customer's experience.

Make it clear that it's a concept project, not paid client work.

The goal is to show potential clients what you can do and how you approach problems.

Your first portfolio doesn't have to be filled with famous brands.

It needs to make your abilities understandable.

I have a very fast tongue and I stutter and stammer a lot opps!

If you have been following my content you have probably noticed.

Good morning X!

[ByGift Studio @ByGiftStudio]

You can actually find potential freelance clients right here on X, but I think a lot of people are going about it the wrong way.

Instead of just posting "I'm available for work" every day and hoping someone notices, try looking for people who are already talking about problems you can solve.

Here's what I mean.

Let's say you're a website designer.

Go to the search bar and try phrases like:

"looking for a website designer"

"need help with my website"

"launching my business"

"redesigning our website"

Switch to Latest so you can see recent conversations.

Now, don't rush into everyone's DMs.

Check their profile. Are they actually running a business? Is the opportunity still open? Does your service match what they're looking for?

If someone is directly asking for a designer, respond with a relevant example of your work and a short explanation of how you could help.

If they're simply discussing a problem, contribute something useful first.

The goal isn't to message 100 random people.

It's to find the right people, understand what they need, and give them a reason to trust you.

Freelancers who've landed clients through X, what worked for you?

[ByGift Studio @ByGiftStudio]

Good morning! ❤️

I pray today brings us opportunities worth celebrating, clients who value our work, and the wisdom to make good decisions.

If something didn't work yesterday, you have another chance to try a different approach today.

Have a lovely Wednesday!

@WisterLim_1 My pleasure!!

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is building a high level of self-esteem that doesn't depend on human validation.🧏‍♂️
