How do I find clients as a copywriter?
I'm a newbie copywriter looking for my first clients to work with. Of course, my skills are not up to snuff yet, but I'd be willing to work either for free, or for minimal pay so that I can improve, while simultaneously building a portfolio.
My end goal is to become a highly sough after copywriter in a specific industry. Not sure exactly what industry yet, I'll have to feel that out as I go along.
For those of you who have "made it" as a copywriter, what step by step advice would you give to a newbie like myself who is trying to improve his skills and find clients?
I have heard mixed reviews about finding work on sites such as UpWork, etc. Is this a good place to start? Where do I go from there for higher paying gigs once I get better?
Thanks!
