We're building matchist (http://matchist.com/talent) to solve this problem by creating a place for quality developers to find quality work.
We've found that our clients prefer developers who are great communicators and can provide guidance on their projects. They're looking for partners, not just somebody with Rails skills.
As a few have commented here already, your written communication could be improved to help inspire more confidence in potential clients. (I mean this as constructive feedback, not criticism.)
Are you going to accept non-U.S. citizen developer sign ups any time soon ? I guess this is coupled to stripe offering their service outside of the U.S.
We plan to but don't have a timeline of exactly when yet. It is indeed coupled to Stripe at the moment, but it's also a conscious decision on our part to start small with what we know (US culture, law, and how it relates to freelancing) before growing into other countries.
thanks for the constructive feedback .
just side not i do comunicate with the clients very good via skype , i have dyslexia. so dont let this misleading.
