Create an online portfolio
In my opinion, an online portfolio is very important. Nowadays, it is very easy for anyone to start a website and put up their videos, artwork, etc.
It’s quite easy, actually. First you will need to register a domain name. I would suggest using GoDaddy.com and enter the coupon code: diggnation to get a discount. The best thing to do is to register your name. FirstAndLastName.com or FirstName.com if you have a really unique name. Next up, you will need a host. GoDaddy themselves also offer hosting. It’s actually quite cheap too. About $4/month. I personally use DreamHost.com to host all of my sites.
After you have it up and running, all you have to do is upload your images and video. For video, I would suggest uploading your videos to one of the many video hosting sites and then embedding them into your site. That way you will save on bandwidth and also have a flash version of your movies that automatically play without your viewers needing to download a large file.
So now when a friend, or even better, a potential employer, asks you if you have a portfolio of work, you can direct them to your website.
