Making a portfolio is one of the key steps in bringing clients for your editing business. It’s important to understand what portfolios do, how they can be effective, and why they’re the single greatest asset any editor can have in their marketing arsenal. Now unfortunately, many editors do a key mistake with their portfolios that can lead them to leaving a lot of money on the table.

A few days ago, I saw a tweet from a seemingly high profile creator asking for an editor. But instead of it being an exciting opportunity, I noticed this one was filled with red flags. Red flags that every editor needs to be aware of (especially if you’re a beginner). Because if you don’t know these tell-tale signs from clients you should avoid, you might as well just make a deal with the devil and call it a day. However, if you know the signs before even starting the work, you...","campaignId":14885363,"publicationId":11410176,"metaDescription":null},{"id":5261434,"title":"Portfolio Mistakes Editors Need To Stop Making","slug":"portfolio-mistakes-editors-need-to-stop-making","status":"published","readingTime":4,"campaignCompletedAt":"2024-04-09T09:06:55.000Z","publishedAt":"2024-04-09T09:06:55.000Z","orderByDate":"2024-04-09T09:06:55.000Z","timeAgo":"12 months","thumbnailUrl":"https://embed.filekitcdn.com/e/ix851TfRSQUbDriNZws3as/bbcG9WPLdpymC3oeNGtf2M","thumbnailAlt":null,"path":"posts/portfolio-mistakes-editors-need-to-stop-making","url":"https://postboxediting.com/posts/portfolio-mistakes-editors-need-to-stop-making","isPaid":null,"introContent":"Hey Reader!
