We know how important it is to showcase your portfolio when applying for a project, which is why we've made this feature available on all Workana freelancer profiles.
How can I upload my work?
- First, log in to your Workana freelancer profile.
- You'll see a section called “Featured Projects,” where you can link your Behance portfolio directly to your Workana profile. If you already have a Behance account, simply click “Link your Behance account.”
Once you've entered your account details, you'll be redirected to your Workana profile, where your images and/or projects will begin downloading. This may take a few minutes, depending on your internet connection speed and the size of your portfolio.
Once everything has finished loading, you'll see all your linked projects displayed on your profile.
By clicking on the button to link your Behance account, the system will take you to do it:
The images will appear as small folders representing different projects. Each folder will display a cover image for the project. When you click on it, you'll see the other images associated with that project.
For example, if you're showcasing graphics for a website, you can use the homepage design as the cover image and include the remaining images of the website's other pages inside the folder.
By clicking on each folder, clients can browse your projects and like the images they enjoy the most.
If your portfolio grows, you can always click “Refresh” in Workana to keep it up to date.
You can also unlink your portfolio from your Workana profile at any time. Simply click the “Unlink” button in the upper-right corner of the Portfolio section on your profile.
Another way to add your work to “Featured Projects” is to upload it directly, one item at a time.
On Workana, you're not allowed to send, offer, or request contact information from a client. So, how can you showcase your portfolio or previous work to help a client choose your proposal?
Here's how you can share your portfolio without being penalized:
- Through your Workana profile: As mentioned above, you can showcase your portfolio directly on your profile. The correct way to share it is to invite the client to visit your Workana profile. You cannot share a link to your Behance profile.
- Through attachments that DO NOT contain contact information: You can send a résumé, a PDF presentation, a video, or any other type of attachment, as long as it does not contain contact information. Make sure your files do not contain third-party contact details either, to avoid triggering alerts. External contact information is not allowed, even if it doesn't belong to you.
- Through external links: You can share external links with the client, provided they do not contain contact information or any means of contacting you. If you have a personal website that includes contact information, unfortunately, you cannot share it with clients.
- Examples of links you can share: websites you've created, online portfolios without contact information, social media accounts you've managed, links to your apps on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and similar work samples.
