I haven't pitched for any jobs, nor put my details out there, but I was just curious to hear from both sides (freelancers and those looking for freelancers) on whether you've had any success with the threads?
Feel free to ignore anything you don't want to answer or add any other info!
- Were you a freelancer or seeking a freelancer?
- If the former, what does your resume/portfolio look like?
- What was the value of the project you took on/were offering?
- Have you gone on to do further work with any new contacts you made through the process?
- Any other interesting info? :-)
I guess my tip would be not to oversell yourself in a comment - it's tiny text on a grey background and looks like everyone else's. Save yourself the effort and instead mention succinctly the services/skills you offer and link to your well built portfolio website. That will be where you have the 'audience' to yourself and that's where the selling really begins.
Good luck!
