I don't see why you're hiding your identity.

For that price, you shouldn't be afraid to put out a bit.

Remember that as a consultant for hire (independently) you are the business.

Plus you make it easier for people to verify your skills with your real ID.

I know you may feel uncomfortable with it, but it's worth a shot, especially as a way to "advertise", although referrals will still be your biggest money-draw.

Good luck!

That's a good point. If I do a follow-up, it will possibly be on my personal website.

For what it's worth, I'm responding to inquiries with my identity and more details. So far, I've received several really interesting projects.

Nice you are being inventive! I wish more job hunters did the same :)

Thank you!

On a general note: my apologies for not including my identity and portfolio; I didn't want this experiment to be the first hit when you google me.

Why not?

In a lot of professional services fields, the reputation of working for free or cheap tends to bring in really bad customers that tend to be more trouble than they are worth.

Hmm, now I am confused. I thought you were giving your identity, that's why I liked it

I am not the OP.
