Content creators come in all forms: writers, journalists, social media influencers, video creators, artists, graphic designers, musicians, podcasters, and more. And in 2022, content creators will have the tools and platforms to shine even more.

And with so many folks with access to computers, software, and content creation solutions, there's far more competition than ever before.

Hence, to have a sustainable career doing your art, you must stand out from other equally talented creators. And that's where a résumé — just a list of your accomplishments — cannot go into the details of your work to showcase what you're really about, the quality you possess, and the creative brilliance behind your achievements.

That's where a content creator portfolio puts your creations — whether it's your writing, video, podcast, art, or more — front and center, making it possible for prospective clients to learn about your expertise and thus making it easier to solicit work.

Let's dig deeper into what makes a great portfolio and look at our handcrafted list of six brilliant content creator portfolio examples.

## Why should I make a content creator portfolio?

### Showcase your work

An online portfolio is a vehicle for showcasing your work to potential clients and employers. Say, if you're a writer, you may want to demonstrate the various niches and publications you've written for. If you're a journalist, you may like to feature the vast volume of content you've created over the years. And if you're into content marketing, your portfolio is an example of your work samples, your current knowledge of algorithm trends, and the results achieved.

Whatever your medium of choice, a content creator portfolio unites all your work in one coherent, comprehensible format for clients to peruse.

### Source clients and projects

The main reason to showcase your skills in an online portfolio is so that you can get more work. Portfolios are an excellent method of flaunting your creative projects and services to potential clients and employers.

### Build your professional & personal brand

Building a portfolio is also an exercise in building your professional and personal brand. This can be important because the better your brand, the likelier you are to attract the right kind of clientele for your services.

For example, recognized journalists have a wider readership, which lets them put their writing in front of more people.

### Protect your work

Creators worldwide have lost access to their projects overnight when a tool or platform deems that their work has violated some inane rule of theirs. Video creators have lost access to their YouTube channels, and marketers have found their personal Twitter accounts suspended. It's important to remember that even if you've been creating content for these channels, these mega corporations ultimately hold the keys to all your content.

That's why it's super important to back up your work. And portfolios can be an excellent way to secure, protect, and safeguard your career. A solution that lets you exhibit your skills _and_ insulate yourself from the vagaries of the web is ideal.

You spend so much time on content creation which is the bread and butter of your trade, that you need the free headspace to create and be creative. Backing up needs to be automatic and off your head. More on this later.

## Where can I create a content creator portfolio?

A portfolio needs to look aesthetically pleasing (read: have excellent design sense), load quickly, present all the information in an organized and professional manner, and be easy to parse through.

Depending on your industry, there are various online resources to consider. Sites like WordPress, Notion, Medium, and Wix are great if you want free no-code options. That said, these can take time to set up.

If you're a designer or someone who works in web design, Behance, Dribbble, and Adobe Portfolio are great options.

For writer portfolios, there is Muckrack and Authory. Along with a self-updating portfolio, Authory also backs up your work!

But first, let's look at some stunning portfolio examples for inspiration.

## Content Creator Backup

As mentioned before, though you may be creating content that resides on channels like YouTube, LinkedIn, or on websites where you've published content, you always risk losing access to this content.

Websites get shut down; content is re-bylined, YouTube decides your channel has violated an obscure rule, etc. Hence you _must_ back up your content!
