Lessons

  1. Invent one plausible small business and work for it: a dental clinic, a coaching practice, a Shopify store, a real estate agent. Use the same business across all four samples so the portfolio reads as coherent.
  2. Sample one: the inbox and calendar system from Module 3, written up with the problem it solves, the structure you chose, and why.
  3. Sample two: the tracker or dashboard from Module 3, with a one-paragraph summary of what the numbers show and what you would tell the owner to do.
  4. Sample three: the Canva graphics or a written client onboarding checklist and welcome email from Module 4.
  5. Sample four, and lead with it: the automation before-and-after from Module 5, with the hours saved per month in the first line. This is the sample that moves you out of the lowest rate bracket, so it goes at the top of the page, not the bottom.
  6. Label these honestly as practice projects. Nobody minds. What they prove is that you can finish something and explain why you built it that way — which is exactly what a client is buying.
  7. Publish it somewhere clickable: a free Notion page, a view-only Google Drive folder, or a one-page Canva site. It needs a headline, the four projects, your tools, your hours, and a contact email.
