Clients want one thing only: A business-problem solved right now.
Clients aren't googling "JavaScript tutorial" to find a technical blog post for their specific freelance project. Clients don't care if you're on UpWork, on Toptal, or where you come from.
They usually post a job online and wait for freelancers to come to them, instead of actively searching for the "best" applicant.
Also, most clients don't ever fully go through your portfolio anyway.
They're getting blasted with dozens (sometimes hundreds) of applications. They just don't have the time.
So what can you do?
If your goal is to land a freelance project you want to quickly showcase to the client what you’re capable of creating as soon as you contact them.
The best way that I’ve found to do that is to build a series of small, understandable projects (bits of code hosted on Codepen, GitHub, JSBin, etc.) that a client can look at without much effort.
And then presenting them in a way that the client can easily understand how it helps them.
I put together a free email course of just a handful of lessons that teaches freelance web developers exactly stuff like the above...
