How to catch my first real client?
Hi, I live in France and this is my second post after my intro in the off topic section.
You (warriors) seem like a very wise group and that made me want to start posting here.
Can you help?
After paying copywriters to work on some of my own websites, I decided to take the plunge and start learning about the persuasive art myself.
I have been reading copyblogger.com, listening to an audio book and reading other copywriting related blogs on the internet.
On another forum I have been offering a free copywrite service. This has enabled me to get some live training in and the feedback has been very positive (it was free I know!)
So, I have been applying for work as a copywriter on Odesk for quite a few jobs now. I must have applied for 10 jobs with not one successful landing. I have even dropped my price to $8 per hour. But, nothing.
I am not asking for someone to hold my hand, I just would be very grateful for some advice about getting off the ground.
Where is that illusive first step? Where should I be looking or applying for jobs? Is Odesk good? Anything better?
Thank you very much.
Cheers, Laurence.
