Online Data Analytics Portfolio Hosting 101:
The step-by-step process to creating an awesome portfolio website in 60 minutes or less: ⤵️
Many beginner data analysts waste a lot of time trying to get their portfolios online:
• Using amateur-looking platforms like Google Sites
• Using clunky sites like Kaggle and GitHub
• Procrastinating because it’s too hard
But, your online data analytics portfolio sends a signal: "I can solve problems with data."
And recruiters and hiring managers know what they need:
• Professionals that can work with data
• Analysts that know how to think
• Sample work to show skills
Fortunately, if you know how to get your portfolio online, you can be ahead of the crowd.
Here’s how to get your portfolio online, step by step: ⤵️
🟢 Step 1: Sign up for a free carrd.co account
@carrd is my recommendation for hosting your online data analytics portfolio.
• Free and easy to use
• Professional templates
• Has everything you need
Here's an example from @FauzanInData
Don’t think you have to have your portfolio on GitHub or Kaggle. Those sites are awesome! But they suck for portfolio hosting.
Those kinds of sites are made for hosting code, building communities, and collaboration.
For your portfolio, you deserve something better.
🟢 Step 2. Use a portfolio template
Carrd has professional templates that look great and match your personality.
That way, you spend more time in "getting paid mode" and less time in "getting your portfolio online" mode.
You don’t want to have a lot of clutter.
Keep it simple so that recruiters and future employers can focus on your best work.
If you want something that looks a bit nicer, there are also paid templates you can pick up for a small fee.
🟢 Step 3. Pick your projects
You want to show your best work in your portfolio.
The best projects:
• Are business-focused, not hobby-focused
• Clearly show data analytics best practices
• Show the skills for the job you want
Examples of great projects:
• call center
• social media
• marketing funnel
• patient dashboard
• healthcare analytics
• insurance scorecards
• supply chain analytics
• campaign optimization
• budget planning report
• customer review analysis
