I can't say I'm a pro at this (I don't freelance and don't have a personal marketing page), so take this with a grain of salt: > My claim to fame is that I shipped a large-scale Ember.js application, backed by a RESTful Rails API, tested all the way down to ie6, and somehow lived to tell about it. While I find this funny, because I know what all the buzzwords mean, not everyone knows what RESTful, Rails, API, Ember.js, or IE6 is. Even if they know what IE6 is, they don't know what a pain it is to code for it. > (From the other thread) I want to do code and marketing for local businesses, and coaching in project management. No hi-tech startups for now. The tech stack would be my advantage right now, I think, among all the other small web shops. How is this tech stack and advantage? Why not wordpress and PHP, and slap some websites up in half a day? Local businesses definitely don't know what Ember.js is, and why should they care that you "live on it"? You make this mention of "before I got into startups". Why not tell the story of how you've run/been in a small business just like them, and you've made some webapps that helped your brand. Then mention that pampelmoose and spiral16 (who they heck are these people, do they have real names or better known websites?), wrote some reviews on the marketing. Change the passive voice to active (e.g. prefer "I did" to "it was done") > I build high quality web applications that run a long time and sell more software despite having relatively little marketing or a low budget. Good selling point. > Thanks in advance for your time and consideration, and looking forward! You missed a few words after "forward".
