As an aspiring freelance writer, I seek advice from active freelancers on their approach to getting writing gigs.
Writing is my only skill, and I've been exhausted looking for freelance work for the past few months, I've spent a lot of time sending out proposals but to no avail.
Despite spending a lot of time bidding on projects on Freelancer and sending proposals on Facebook, it seems tough to compete. I've also explored job boards like ProBlogger, but no responses have been received.
I urgently need freelance writing work, and I'm open to writing for even the lowest rates, like $1 or $2 per article. For freelance writers getting enough work, please share your suggestions on the most effective ways to secure such jobs.
Despite submitting several writing samples to potential clients, I have not received any responses. At first, I thought my samples might not be good enough to land writing gigs, but after seeing some samples on Facebook posts, my writing is on par, if not better.
Admittedly, my perspective may be biased, and I would appreciate your evaluation of the sample paragraph below. Could it be that my writing lacks the appeal needed to win over potential clients?
Please find a sample paragraph below for your evaluation:
"""
Approaching A Loved One About Seeking Therapy Help
To initiate a conversation with a loved one about seeking therapy, one must be thoughtful and mindful of the delicate nature of the topic. Factors such as timing, location, and approach must be considered to avoid triggering feelings of shame or defensiveness. These emotions can hinder the individual's likelihood of seeking the professional help they need. Furthermore, the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health treatments poses a formidable obstacle, dissuading individuals from seeking therapy despite experiencing symptoms that warrant professional intervention. Despite the challenging nature of this process, it is essential to remain mindful of the potential benefits of professional help, particularly if a loved one's condition deteriorates over time.

I appreciate your input and look forward to your suggestions.
