Some artists believe that using social media is enough\u2026 But it isn\u2019t! As great as social media can be to get your work seen by the public, there\u2019s something to be said about creating a strong business website and portfolio online.\n\nBy limiting your business strictly to social media, you risk missing out on potential clientele and other businesses that would want to work with you. But when you have a professional website, you can also showcase exclusive work that <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> shown on social media.\n\nPlus, a website provides your clients the option to schedule, book, and pay for your services directly (instead of always having to speak with you through \u201cDM\u2019s\u201d).\n\nFor example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/aclk?sa=l&amp;ai=DChcSEwjHsomIlM3qAhVz5bUKHVikDFcYABAAGgJxbg&amp;sig=AOD64_0Y9U5F2hhwt7WiLZLq-5pHuBBlOA&amp;q=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiGuYGIlM3qAhWlTN8KHdtZCngQ0Qx6BAgaEAE&amp;adurl=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wix<\/a> is a great website-hosting platform that can help you put together your business\u2019s site. If you aren\u2019t the most tech-savvy person in the world, no worries!\n\nThis kind of hosting platform makes designing everything simple, easy, and customizable. Because it also has hundreds of add-ons, you can enhance your website and connection with clients, depending on how fancy you want to get![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;42420&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3><span lang=\"EN\">Create a Professional Portfolio<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]When deciding which photos to upload to <a href=\"\/2017\/08\/5-looks-every-makeup-artist-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the portfolio<\/a> on your professional website, remember that it truly<em> is<\/em> about quality over quantity.\n\nYour portfolio images should:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Be well-lit and clear<\/li>\n \t<li>Ensure that any backgrounds are free of clutter<\/li>\n \t<li>Stay consistent<\/li>\n \t<li>Be of high-quality (this means no selfies!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA strong portfolio will show potential clients that you take <em>every<\/em> aspect of your work and business seriously.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Social_Media_Dos_and_Donts\"><\/span>2.
