Getting Clients
Hi friends,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question so please move it if I posted it in the wrong place
I just started back into copywriting after being out of it for a time and I'm wondering if any of the experienced copywriters here can help me find new writing clients.
Before I found work on fiverr but now the competition is huge with everyone charging like 2 dollars for a 1500 word article.
How can I break through the competition and find writing jobs that pay more than 2 dollars?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I feel your pain my friend, not finding clients can be discouraging. Especially when you're just starting out.
You have some experience, but right now you're basically just starting out because you've been away for a while.
Is it safe to assume you mean content writing, instead of copywriting? I have to ask because I call advertising and sales copy "copywriting", and I usually separate it from content writing. But I know a lot of people group the two together.
Either way I have 2 quick questions for you...
1 - Do you still have any contact info from your past clients?
If you did good work for them in the past you should reach out to them now, because there's a good chance they would be your most likely buyers. (assuming they still use freelance writers in their business)
2 - Have you tried any of the other freelance sites out there? Other than fiverr?
I believe upwork and freelancer are still around. And if you do a google search for "freelance writing sites" I'm sure you'll find a bunch more.
Sorry I can't be more help to you, but I haven't really gone looking for new clients in about 5 or 6 years now. Most of my work comes from long term clients, referrals, or my own stuff.
If you want to try finding clients from a different approach, other than freelance sites, here's a couple posts that talk about a different way of finding clients...

I have looked into other freelance sites but the competition is huge on other sites too.

Re: Getting Clients
There are a few different ways to find clients as freelance copywriter. One way is to post your services on Perfectlancer (a freelancing platform), where you can connect with businesses who need help crafting compelling and persuasive copy. You can also reach out to local businesses and offer your services or attend networking events in your area.
Whatever route you choose, be sure to put your best foot forward and make a great first impression. Present yourself as a professional, competent writer who can help them achieve their marketing goals. Good luck!
