Press Release Body = FreelancePortfolios.com is a new website that lets freelancers
create an online portfolio of their freelance services, client list and samples, and
helps freelancers market their services to clients locally, nationally and
internationally. It is a free service and available at
http://www.FreelancePortfolios.com

FreelancePortfolios.com was designed, crafted and created by Brian Konradt, a former
freelance writer and graphic designer.

Says Konradt, \"Back in the early 1990s we didn\'t have the Internet to flash our
portfolios in front of potential clients. Our marketing tactics were very different:
lots of print advertising, PR, direct mail, and peddling business cards to and from
networking events. It was expensive and time-consuming sometimes.\"

The Internet has changed the dynamics of marketing, according to Konradt. \"Lounging
at our desk in our pajamas we can easily pitch our wares of writing services to
local, national and international clients who are seeking freelance talent.
Marketing our freelance services via the Internet is faster and cheaper.\"

Mr. Konradt created FreelancePortfolios.com to provide freelancers with another
venue to market their services and secure clients. \"I know how troublesome it can be
to find your next client or freelance gig,\" says Konradt. \"I always advise
freelancers to continually market their services through many different venues so
that freelance opportunities flow plentifully.\"

In 1996 when the Internet was becoming more accessible to the public, Mr. Konradt
noticed how freelancers were harnessing the Internet to be more productive and make
more money. \"I remember writing an extensive article for a magazine, titled, \'Web
Portfolios.\' In my article I revealed how freelancers were launching their own
website to advertise their services, samples and client list, as well as to
communicate and work with clients. This was revolutionary at that time because it
was a new marketing tactic that reduced marketing expenses and increased profit and
productivity.\"

Says Konradt, \"Researching and writing this article gave me the idea that one day I
would provide a service to help freelancers market themselves more efficiently and
effectively via the Internet.\"

Mr. Konradt invested his own money and time to make FreelancePortfolios.com a
reality, and says he will keep FreelancePortfolios.com as a free service. \"I feel
such delight when I can help other freelancers to succeed,\" says Konradt. \"I hope
this website can make freelancing a bit easier for freelancers who want more
freelance opportunities.\"

FreelancePortfolios.com is maintained by the webmasters of FreelanceWriting.com
(http://www.freelancewriting.com), a website for freelance writers who want to
master the business and creative aspects of their writing careers.
