Today we discuss the importance of having your own photography web presence (a portfolio), the pitfalls of relying on “free” services like Facebook and Flickr as a portfolio, the best practices for creating and managing you online portfolio, common mistakes and the most common obstacles to making a personal photography website.

I’m also pleased to welcome Portfoliobox as our sponsor for the month of December for our special portfolio series. You can try their service for free or get a Pro Account for 50% off until Sunday, December 2.
