I think you're on the right track in determining what your "value add" is to a client beyond straight development, and that should definitely help you differentiate from the myriad of other freelance developers out there.
We have clients come to matchist (http://matchist.com/talent http://matchist.com/talent) often looking for a solid developer with other areas of knowledge like marketing.
In my own past experience as a freelance web developer, clients always liked when I had additional knowledge and skills to add to their needs beyond just plain coding.
- johnjlocke 13y agoMarketing makes all the difference between being seen for a long time to come and just being another cog in the machine. People who position themselves as something more than a person who writes code do better in the long run. I think developers forget that anyone outside of our bubble have no clue what the technologies are or what they do. They just want their problem solved.
