If your UGC portfolio hasn’t been touched since 2024/2025, I’m telling you right now—it’s probably outdated for 2026, and you could be leaving money on the table without realizing it. In this video I walk you through how I’d “upgrade” a portfolio so it actually reflects what brands are hiring for right now. I break down three video concepts I think are genuinely worth adding because they help you look more strategic, more current, and easier to say “yes” to as a creator. Then I get into the other side of it: what to remove. I talk about the types of portfolio clips that are most likely wasting space in 2026 and why they can quietly lower your perceived value (even if the videos themselves aren’t “bad”). The goal isn’t to stuff your portfolio with everything you’ve ever made—it’s to position you clearly, make your strengths obvious fast, and help brands picture you in a paid campaign. If you’re a beginner, this is also a really easy way to focus your next shoots so you’re building a portfolio with intention instead of guessing.
