This is important, especially if you want your potential client to stay glued to your portfolio and eventually book you.

Ultimately, knowing how to upload your portfolio will only be beneficial when the right content is in the eyes of the clients. Therefore, follow these four above-listed steps but don't forget to incorporate the bonus point to stand out in your field.
