It is difficult to get writing jobs to begin with - copywriting is more difficult than content writing. The phrases copied above say "English second language" - though I'd guess your spoken English is close to perfect.

You may study for years but if you are not fluent in the written language, it's not a winning proposition. Have you looked for copywriting jobs in your native language?

Dont ever give up my friend as are money to be made in copywriting but you need to find your way .Read a lot of tutorials ,learn new things .Maybe you miss something etc

It is naht a death hunt.

Clubbin' 'em ovah thuh brainz till'n they zaaahmbie apocalypse on ovah your areah.

Pet food, for suppository zample.

"How they hunt me for a client! The way they lure me their way with offers only I can spawn makes me question their existence!"

Clients' view?

"Can I get an upsell makes the math make sense?"

It is at this point I mention regulah zeroes ain't optschwaahnahl.

You wanna fly free as a boid or die before you dead?

You any kinda writa person, you gotta write stuff makes ears turn heads toward succor an' outta harm.

We will always walk this way, whoevah we are.

So you say that.

Hunts

Wants

Prefrbly with OK music & sum kinda bar.

Gotta tellya, there is a billion dollah industry could potentially reap the rewards of my distaste for musspelt hummigdahlia ...

An' neithah is nowan for nuthin' you gaht don't get 'em stuff they want.

Gotta hope this ansa finds evrywan dowin' yoga an' coffee steada plannin' no kinda bunkah.

(As a bra strapline for gals packin' squidos, natchrlly this works also as an antidote to armageddon. An' I do naht make the rules here.)

I admire your persistence JonasBluu. 2 years of learning and 4 months worth of client prospecting shows more tenacity than most rookies are willing to expend.

I know this might sound obvious, but if nobody is responding to your pitch then you need to change your pitch.

How much market / customer research have you done?

Because if whatever you're saying is not connecting with your readers you need to do more research on your prospects. Learn about them and figure out what they actually want or need, instead of just guessing what you think they need.

Here's a quick exercise for you...

Pretend I'm a potential client. If you prove yourself worthy I might actually be willing to give you a try. So tell me... What do you know about me and any of my businesses? And why should I hire you?

I ask this question JonasBluu,

Why in the world should I hire you?

You claim your copy will sell my wares,

But can you write in a way that makes me care?

I don't know you, but do you know me?

Tell me about myself and help me see.

Convince me that you're good enough

Then I might let you sell my stuff.

The first product you sell isn't found on a shelf,

You must first be able to sell yourself.

Its not you its me.. but 40+? When you get to 400+ then maybe you can start complaining? You can sit there and say you tried... and I can sit here and say you didnt try enough.

Your first client, your first 5+ clients are going to be a bear to get... after that, it gets easier.

You cant say oh well I tried and quit... because the next thing you jump on.. Oh I tried, and then you quit... and the next and the next and the next... A pattern of "Failure"

Think about what your "Ideal" writing job is... what would you be writing? ( as in overall topic ) Start writing THAT... post it on Facebook, and Your website and Linkedin and Medium.

BUILD authority on said subject.... THEN go out and look for work, with a body of work that#1 shows your knowledge, and #2 shows your ability to write

And while you are at it... find a product to sell as an affiliate that matches your IDEAL job, and sell it

And then all of the sudden you are not only a copywriter looking for work, but you are a copywritter with proven sales on a said subject - or product.

I'm more hardcore than most of your answers, but it's partly because I've been in this business for 40 years.

I've seen a million would-be copywriters come and go. I've heard them babied and seen gurus sympathize with them...but it's all nonsense.

You're wasting your time looking for a client. Totally, completely wasting your time.

If you found a client, they would want to pay $100 to write for a product that was worthless (would give you no credibility)...or most would just use AI now.

There are a couple of routes you can take...

1. Get with a company that gives you a shot. An Agora etc. Or a good copywriter that will let you learn under them.

Apply to them and they'll probably want a sample. If they accept you, and you do good, you'll have something to announce to clients.

2. If you're going it on your own...
you need to sell your own product and make it successful.

There's a ton of wholesale products, something you write, a friend's product...

but you must do good and have outstanding results.

"I sold xxx and brought in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in 30 days.

Most of those I've talked to when I mentioned this brought up a ton of excuses...

I don't have the money to advertise. Then you need an extra job until you get the money.

But, what I've discovered is what they're really saying is..."I don't want to risk what money I have."

$5 a day on Facebook ($150 a month) to see if you have something people want.

The big fear is most newbies don't want to waste the money because they're afraid their campaign will bomb and they'll lose their money. Guess what? That's the same fear a business owner has when you ask to advertise their product with no experience.

If you can't take a product and spend money to advertise it...then if you fail, are willing to go back to a regular job until you make enough to try it again...fail again...go back to work and try it again...

then there's no business owner that will give you their money to practice with either.

I've found that usually when someone learns to sell their own product and learns how to make it successful, they're not even looking for clients anymore because they know how to make a fortune using what they know on their own thing.

Now, there are those that will have done great with a great product and still want to write for others...there's nothing wrong with that. But first, learn to sell for yourself and you'll understand how to sell what others have

Have you started with content writing before venturing to copywriting?

Freelancing and recruitment platforms aren't the only ways how to attract the traffic. Create a good looking website, where you demonstrate your abilities in articles writing. You can fill the website with your own posts, various content, then you can create pages in social media - start subscribing on all the pages with the related topic and gradually attract customers.

The only way out in case nothing really helps you is to apply to ad agencies, or just find a platform where you can place your advertisement, like banners for example. You can search for such websites according to the topic which you have already mastered, for example Visa application or something like that.

If you don't check your posts for responses, you might really have trouble with client hunting
