I think you're right - a portfolio is an essential part of a freelance business (after all, what good business nowadays DOESN'T have a website?). I'm a freelance writer and co-run Writer's Residence (http://writersresidence.com/), an online tool that lets writers design and host their own portfolio. Hope you don't mind the plug! I used it to create my writing portfolio at http://monicashaw.com. I also have a few separate blogs elsewhere, using Wordpress, which I link to from my portfolio. monicas last blog post..<a href="http://writersresidence.com/blog/2008/11/04/getting-published-without-writing-clips/" rel="nofollow">Getting Published Without Writing Clips</a> Excellent article.

My main one is very political, so even though it is my love and passion, I don't use it too often (too divisive). I also contribute to a women's blog which is just right for showing to prospective clients. And I recently started one just to talk about the freelancing life - I felt it was time! I keep my résumé on a link in that site, which is quite efficient, since so much of my work has been online. Some of it SEO, some content, some marketing - I try to put a variety in.

Utilizing some sort of collaborative site, or perhaps a series of sites that can be aggregated. Google Docs, Zoho, and Pownce come to mind. And with other sites like FriendFeed, Google Reader and Facebook (with applications) all the various stuff can be easily accessed. Having an aggregate can point prospects to any number of writing "samples" from one spot. Using Web 2.0 to showcase one’s portfolio sounds like a great way to accomplish the points in this blog.

I keep that thought in the back of my mind with every post I write. Actually, it's the reason I even have a blog on my freelance writing home page. I'm also considering signing up for a separate strictly portfolio page on another site. It's about $9 a month but I think it may be worth it. If I go that direction I'll give you a shout! Cheers!
