That's a good start, Emil X. Few things to consider: 

1. Overview section in the specilaized profile can be different from general profile. 

2. The portfolio needs to have more projects, more variety.

3. Consider adding testimonials from previous clients.

I personally don't care much for when people call themselves rockstars, but hey, I'm not looking to hire an VA. Switch the paragraphs, your skills first, your experience (if you must) last. I would shorten the experience section a bit by removing the typical resume word salad, giving your profile a more personal touch.

It looks good! I really like the portfolio section, very attractive. 

You created a specialized profile, but have the same text in both - don't do that, use it to be more specific about the skills you offer. Your overview is a bit short, maybe expand it a bit. 

Finally, you compete with a very large number of other freelancers, so make the most of your profile. Research your competition and see what they offer, and how they do that.

The text in both your main and specialized profiles is too similar, change that to be more specific to the seperate skills. (You probably created a specialized profile, found out you can't delete it, and in exasparation put some text in there just to get it done. I get that. But it shows...)

Otherwise - it's a good start! Refine it some more, I want a writer's profile to dazzle me before I'd hire him/her. (I am not looking to hire a writer.) Research your competition, which is vast, and see how they do that.

Thanks for the feedback Martina. I thought that might have been the case. I hope it's better now after a review and change.

Your text is much too short. Expand on exactly what services you offer, make a list of specific examples. It would be great if you had anything to put into the portfolio section with a nice thumbnail on it - you want to capture attention and make a client spend more than a mere few seconds (if that) on your profile. (I should not have to explain to a marketing professional how to sell himself, sooooooooo....... 😉

Also, your rate is too low.
