Maker Insight:

"The biggest lesson learned was around creating a 'home' for your projects, to document your past experience and display them for quick reference.

When I was starting the 100 Days of No-Code challenge Carrd was the easiest tool to start a personal portfolio of my progress and also create a contact form where makers could get in touch to collaborate. It's almost like creating the Linktree of your social profiles - it's a great first project to get started with. "

2. Attract what you want to help. What's the best way for opportunities to find you? Show the universe how you work. How many of us have a portfolio? If you don't have a digital product to sell, you are the product. And creating a portfolio to demonstrate what you can do can open doors for you.

Some of the best opportunities in life feel like they fall in your lap. In order to turn the faucet on for things like that, you have to allow to be found by the universe. To attract people to you, you must show what you can do. This is a great cost effective way to create a portfolio for your work.
