For the last few months I've been doing some freelance administrative work locally. Now I want to offer my freelance services online at Elance, oDesk, and Guru. Right now I'm updating and rewording my profile that I have on Elance. Could you please take a look at my Elance profile and tell me if my Profile sounds good? To view my profile please go to: http:/ / vlrath.elance.com Also I decided to name my freelance business Simplified Services and my tagline is "Offering you services to make your business simple " Does that sound like a good tagline or should I use something different? Does anyone have any suggestions for a tagline? Please tell me if my profile sounds good? Is there any wording or tips you have that could make it sound any better? I'm just looking for suggestions. Right now I don't have an oDesk or Guru account but I do plan on starting an account on those sites in the future. When I do start an account with those 2 sites should I use the profile wording that I have on my Elance account or should I use different wording on oDesk and Guru?

Your services aren't so much simplified, as they are simplifying. How about something with 'simply', 'satisfyingly simpler,' or 'stress reduction' services. You are selling a concept, not just a service. How would your words make a prospective client feel? You probably want to evoke a response like, 'exactly what I need.' You may not make someone's business simpler; you want to convey that they will have an easier job. Simplifying business solutions Making business cents Taking a load off your desk Simply simpler office pro Simply perfect business solution A moment's peace at the office You need a job history - doesn't this allow you to input something with references? How about a minimum rate and a desired maximum - something that a well-established professional would charge? I would have liked to see ball park numbers if I was a prospective customer. Less abbreviation: you aren't in a chat room! Good luck!
