You often say that you make videos to help people along their data analyst journey because you didn’t have many resources when you started yours. Dude, I want you to know that you are far exceeding that goal. Your videos give me (and I’m sure many others) tremendous value. I started this journey back in April and I’ve learned so much already. I seriously don’t know where I’d be without your guidance. Thank you so much!

Just a helpful tip:

When adding social media links add target= "_blank" after the href tag, it will open the links in a new tab instead of the portfolio website's page. This helps save the recruiter/interviewer's time by not having to click "back" every time there's a link

Hey Alex! I cannot thank you enough for all the help you gave me through your lessons and especially this video. The online portfolio I created impressed my current employer during my interview. I could not have done it without this video. I am now hired and working in an awesome company. Super thank you man! God bless you!

[euniceduah]

I know you've had tons of "thank you " but I still have to say my own thank you for helping me move from not even having SQL on my laptop, to creating a portfolio and a free website. WOAW. Once I land my first data analyst job, I should find a way to give you something to show my appreciation. God bless you, Alex.

Built my portfolio from the step by step instructions, ...and am so grateful Alex for impacting the tech generation!!!You are an amazing instructor!

Alex,
I studied for all of last year but I never felt like I was good enough to start doing projects. I recently challenged myself to do as much as possible within two weeks. I already created a website and am halfway through completing project 2 (Tableau). I am so excited about the future and creating more projects. Thank you so much for everything you do!

You must be a mind reader Alex. I have been playing with Wix for a few days now. Thank you again.

[brenomarcolino]

Alex, this was by far one of the greatest gifts I could've gotten for the past few weeks. Your work touches thousands of lives. Keep it up my good sir, the world is in your debt. Cheers from Brazil!

Hello Alex,
I am a master's student and I always wondered how to show my portfolio and this series of yours i.e. portfolio project is very awesome and helpful in learning. Thankyou for your efforts...love from India

[philipabraham]

Of all the how-to videos on YouTube on this topic that I have watched so far, this is the best instruction that I have seen on how to post your portfolio online. Thank you very much for your incredible content. You are a great teacher. Keep on producing these high quality work. The newbies like me need you your gift.

[keipers]

Probably the best "how-to" I have watched. Hell of a lot better than an "unboxing". Thanks

To all Non programmers out there.
Add target="_blank" within <a> tag and your link to project will open in new window on browser.

Hi Alex, portfolio project series is simply awesome ✨. It motivated and educated me to create my portfolio project. I am currently working in am MNC as SQL Analyst and planning to do my master in Data Science. Great work boss .👏

[raneshguruparan]

Hey Alex, been a follower for awhile now. In fact you helped me get my own internship and inspired me to start my channel. I appreciate the vids man and hope you keep doing them :)

Also, for those of you watching, I literally did the exact same thing 4 months ago with the exact same template and was successful in securing an internship. Hope this pushes you to SHOW YOUR WORK!

[nityanandmadpathi]

As I am nearing, the completion of the Google Data Analytics course, this portfolio project has helped me immensely. Thanks a lot, Alex!! Looking forward to your Tableau series and many more.

Alex, first of all thank you very much. I'm so excited today, I'm going to start working as a Data Analyst! It's been 7 months since I decided to change my carrer path in data and I met you in the 4th month. This video in particular made me believe that I will become a Data Analyst and finally yes I did. Thanks again, I was imagining myself writing this review and it finally happened. :) My learning journey will continue and I am happy to meet you.

Hi Alex! I wanna thank you so much for this amazing content. My background is not related to web programming/design, but I'm beginning into Machine Learning, programming & Data Analytics and with your tutorial, I achieved to make my portfolio website. If you had asked me a week ago if I'm able to create my website, I'd have answered that it would be impossible, but now I'm capable of doing it, and also to understand most of the html and css code. I appreciate so much your effort and help! Again, thank you!! 👏👏

[alukoadenike]

This is Amazing Alex, I built my portfolio completely using this video, thank you so much.

[DataProfessor]

Wow, that’s a great looking portfolio website! 😆

[alvarobayardi]
