Breaking Away From Content Mills...
I've been content writing for a bit over a year, and about 3 months ago I finally had it with the content mills I was writing for. Clients are constantly raising their standards while lowering their rates and I was sick of working my butt off for pennies.
I paid for a domain, put together a website, and have been tweaking it now for weeks. I'm having trouble getting clients—I send at least three query letters out daily to businesses with weak website content and/or copy, but I've yet to get a bite. All emails are personalized.
I've tried craigslist, no bites. I've only made about $70 on Elance and am not really sure it's worth my time at this point.
What suggestions do you have for a fairly new writer without testimonials? I mean, I have a few testimonials from my content mill days, and one from Elance, but I'm not sure how ethical those would be to use on my site since they were services offered elsewhere.
I appreciate any help and I look forward to gleaning wisdom from you all!
