Being a freelancer doesn’t mean you can’t look professional. On the contrary, you can look professional and attract more and higher budget projects.

As Megamind said, it’s all about presentation.

You can start by getting yourself a domain and email address. Trust me, having a professional email will look much better than free gmail or yahoo emails.

In addition to popular portfolio platforms, showcase your works on your personal website and make sure to use only your own website for your business relations. This will not only demonstrate your expertise in your field but also show how seriously you take your work.

Whatever you do, always be presentable and look professional. So you’ll get the respect you deserve.
