Rock Your Portfolio

So what exactly is a portfolio and why does it matter to your creative business? You’ll learn the three components of a dream business when working as a maker and how you can take control of your most important marketing asset (your body of work) through personal projects.

Yep- this one might sting. You’ll evaluate all of your work and eliminate any projects that are bringing down the overall quality and/or happiness-factor in your business so all that’s left is the work that attracts exactly who you want to work with- those red-flag attracting projects have got to go!

Time to add more projects to your portfolio! Apply Stephanie’s method for making projects that show off your skills in the best way while remaining true to your values, interests, and business goals and your portfolio will be dream-client ready. The Creative Cocktail has been used by hundreds of Futur students to identify what it is you really want to do with your business while also helping you identify gaps in your portfolio that need to be filled in order to reach your dream clients.

Put your Creative Cocktail ingredients to use and brainstorm various project ideas, write your creative brief, and complete new, inspiring personal projects that will attract exactly who you want to work with. Your portfolio will have never looked so good!

No more only posting your work on social media and wondering why the hell nobody is hiring you! You’ll learn effective strategies for putting your work in as many places as possible, both on the internet and off, and build the components of your very own, well-oiled and ready-to-rumble Hype Machine that fuels your visibility. Included is a Hype It Guidebook loaded with new ways to get more eyeballs on your work.

We get it- a lot of the hype strategies in this course are new and maybe a little scary. But not to worry- Stephanie’s going deep with her Hype Help lessons, including an SEO keyword research demo to make sure any blogs you write get found on Google, as well as lessons on how to effectively send cold emails that aren’t spammy, plus her hottest tips on how to make the most of Pinterest (her hype secret weapon).

Create your 30-Day Hype Plan comprised of various components from your customized Hype Machine, including both inbound and outbound marketing and lead generating strategies. Includes a Notion planning template to make sure you’re creating the most strategic plan possible.

Sometimes you just need a quick and dirty formula for pricing your creative work. In this bonus training, Stephanie lays out her Scrappy Pricing method, which can be used for a variety or flat-fee, deliverables-based client projects. No more wondering WTF to charge your clients!
