I tried it out - very nice work! I really like the design of the landing page. A few comments...
LinkedIn doesn't seem like a great reason to "Go Pro" since I've likely already copied all of my info from LinkedIn just to try it out in the first place. However, the other features, such as analytics and additional templates are awesome additions that I might want after I try it. If I were you, I would seriously consider baking in LinkedIn support to lower the friction for new users and then upsell them with the other features.
You should allow creation of the resume in smaller chunks and save as you go. I get very nervous when I have to type more than a few sentences in an unsaved document.
I don't really need a big description box for every skill I want to list. Actually, I'd rather just list them all (LinkedIn does this).
My profile page says "Howdy Trevor.rundell", which I assume it pulled off my email address. You should just pull my first and last name off of my resume instead.
You should definitely allow users to create their own short URL (/r/trun is a lot better than /r/bejeya). Maybe this is a Pro feature.

This. I avoid web editors like the plague, unless I know with certainty that they have no-reload auto-save.
The form data is being auto-saved to Local Storage using the Sisyphus jQuery plugin. So if you are using a modern browser, you don't have to worry about losing any unsaved data.
You need to tell the user that, though, even if it's just a calming progress indicator or "Saved." label that appears a little after making changes, or a dummy "Save" button they can click.
People have spent years developing habits to defend themselves from crappy web forms. They're not going to let go of those habits without a long adjustment period.
Yes, this definitely needs to be prominent somewhere. It's a big feature for people who worry about data loss (like me!). I'm a compulsive saver -- i usually save after changing something as small as a punctuation mark, so pointing out that data autosaves is a big selling point.
