No, the IRC Sec. 911 exclusion would not apply to you for at least two reasons: (1) it is available only to U.S. citizens or residents; and (2) your income from this activity would not be "foreign earned income" since it would be earned in the U.S. In the previous thread, the OP was working for his LLC in Japan, so his income was earned in a foreign country.
