Seeking guidance for winning my first freelancing project as a newcomer

[d2fde53a]

Dear community,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Muhammad, and I am a talented copywriter with a passion for crafting compelling stories and persuasive business content. While I have been fortunate enough to work with some amazing companies in the past, I have been frustrated with the low salary I have received and am now eager to take my career to the next level by starting my own freelance business.

Despite my best efforts, I have had difficulty securing my first client and am seeking guidance on how to improve my profile and increase my chances of success. I have a strong portfolio of work, but I am unsure of the best way to present it in a professional and appealing manner.

I would be extremely grateful for any advice or suggestions from the community on how to showcase my skills and experience in the most effective way possible. If you have any thoughts or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely, Muhammad

Hello Annie Jane,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to apologize for the delay in my response. I have been very busy and I am sorry that I was not able to get back to you sooner.

I am glad that you were able to provide me with some helpful resources. I have been able to use them to learn more about these topics. However, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to also provide me with some resources in video format. I find that I am able to retain information better when it is presented to me in this way.

Thank you for your understanding and for considering my request. I look forward to receiving any additional resources you are able to provide.

Sincerely, 

Muhammad

The first thing that you need to do is upload a headshot of yourself; it's a requirement here.
