Your freelancer profile is one the most important factors in finding matching jobs. You should always keep it up-to-date, including adding new projects and videos. 

• Viewing your profile

• Adjusting your project order
• Adjusting your top banner
• Adjusting your personal information

Viewing your profile

To view your profile, select your Avatar in the upper right and click on ‘Profile’.

This view is very close to what potential clients will see when visiting your profile. Except of course that only you have the options of making edits.

Adding projects to your profile

On-platform projects

Projects you completed on Storyhunter are automatically added to your profile.

Where possible, add a link to the final published project. 

Other projects

To add a project you worked on outside of Storyhunter, select ‘Add Project’ on your profile page. On the displayed dialog, enter your project information. 

Publisher/Client info

This information is optional, but if provided will allow us to verify your work. We will get in touch with the publisher to confirm your work. Verified work enhances your chances of getting hired. 

Editing existing projects

To edit existing projects, scroll down to your project list and the project you want to edit. Select the pencil icon and you will have the option to make edits.

Adding (video) links to completed platform projects

Once a project on Storyhunter is completed, it does not include a detailed description or a link to the final published project. This is something you will need to add manually.

To do this, select the pencil icon next to the project, then enter your project description. Then look for the link section and enter a link to the published project. If possible, Storyhunter will automatically create a thumbnail from this link. If not, or if you want to change the thumbnail, you can always select 'Change thumbnail' and upload your own image.

What will be added automatically is the project title, the services you provided and your review for this project.

Editing verified projects

Verified projects are projects that have been confirmed by your publisher or client. If you need to edit the video link of these projects, it will lose its verified status.

Adjusting your project order

To change the order of your projects in your project list, drag&drop via the arrow icons on the right side of the project.  

Adjusting your top banner

The top banner on your profile is automatically created from projects in your project list.

Included projects

Only certain types of projects will be included in the top banner:

• Needs to have a linked video
• The video needs to be playable/embeddable within Storyhunter. This currently includes videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook.

If your project does not match with these requirements, it will not be shown in the top banner.

Order of projects in top banner

The order of videos in your top banner is the same as the project order in your project list. To adjust it, adjust your project order.

Adjusting your personal information

To adjust your personal information, including name, bio, equipment, languages and more, navigate to Settings > Profile or Settings > Background.  

You can update Home Location by visiting Settings>Basic Profile>Location.

You can update Current Location by visiting Settings>Options and unchecking "Match me with nearby postings based on my IP address."
