Replying to Avatar Flick 🇬🇧

Who is your target audience? I think this is something that is most likely to appeal to older people, and they’re likely to be suspicious about letting a stranger into their house.

“I am an expert” is very arrogant in BrEng but may work in Norway.

“Too many machines, not enough people” is also glib.

I’d say something more like “I’m good with technology and can help you with computers, printers and TVs in exchange for a cup of tea and a chat: I spend most of my time around machines, but I like to meet people and hear about their lives”. But, again, that’s a UK filter.

nostr:npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm funnily enough, i chose "expert" to make it sound less intimidating. maybe "specialist" would have been better. the idea was to convey that i've done it for a long time and i'm experienced. i mean, they say to be confident in job interviews and resumes.

i don't see how it's insincere and shallow when it's the simple truth.

i'm also trying to use as few words as possible, like they do in advertising, to make it really easy to read.

nostr:npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm in the Germanic countries we tend to be a bit blunt and straight forward at times i think while the British try to be super polite.
