Frequently Asked Questions
What portfolio platform best handles the diverse work samples of a Tech Freelancer?
Authory is particularly well-suited for Tech Freelancers because it uniquely combines automatic discovery of published articles/blog posts with robust features for manually adding and organizing diverse technical work samples like code repository links, project descriptions, and case studies. This creates a unified Tech Freelancer portfolio reflecting your full skillset.
Why is a dedicated Tech Freelancer portfolio more crucial than just a LinkedIn or GitHub profile?
While essential, profiles like LinkedIn or GitHub often lack narrative context. A dedicated Tech Freelancer portfolio allows you to curate your best work samples, explain the challenges and solutions for projects, showcase published thought leadership alongside code, and present a polished, professional image specifically designed to win freelance contracts.
How does Authory differ from using a standard website builder for my technical work samples?
Standard builders require you to manually find, upload, and constantly update links for every project or article. Authory automates the finding and backing up of published work, provides permanent archives (crucial protection against broken links or deleted client sites), and offers built-in tools for creating targeted collections, saving significant time for busy Tech Freelancers.
Can you explain how Authory manages both my code and my published writing as a Tech Freelancer?
Authory automatically scans sources you provide (like tech blogs or news sites) for your bylined articles. For code and projects, you can easily add links to repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab), upload project documentation (PDFs, DOCs), add descriptions, and even capture screenshots of live projects, consolidating all your technical work samples in one place for your Tech Freelancer portfolio.
Is Authory beneficial if my tech freelancing involves infrequent projects or varies widely in scope?
Definitely. Authory provides a persistent, organized repository for all your achievements, regardless of frequency or type. It ensures that every significant coding project, successful client engagement, or insightful technical article is captured, securely archived, and ready to be showcased in a professional Tech Freelancer portfolio whenever a new opportunity arises.
