Welcome 
I can see that you put a lot of thought into your writing, even in an informal setting like a forum. Respect.
No pressure, but would you consider upgrading to low-grade millionaire? Millions are the new hundred-thousands, you know.
Also, if you come across a cure for cancer, would you mind sharing?
A few thoughts on this. First, I agree you should establish your own presence. Put up a minimal site of your own, register with google local, and start getting star reviews on a platform other than fiverr or upwork. You want to persist independent of any one platform.
Second. Build specific marketing messages. "You thought you were selling vitamins to seniors before? Let me show you how it's done!" Ok, maybe not that one. But a more specific message tells the lurker who you help, and what problem you help them with. It might be hard to establish this on "platforms" due to space limitations, but you can surely do it when you control the medium.
Consider this: I might not set out to find a copywriter, even when I need one. What does a copywriter know about my problem? What does a copywriter do; what does one do for me?
Instead, I go looking for ideas on how to sell more auto insurance, or more tires, or how to write a compelling presentation. If you find an under-served market of people who need your ability to solve a certain problem, they could end up being your best, favoritest clients.
Finally, I can't stop myself from mentioning this. If you personally provide a service and anything goes wrong with your ability to work, your income stops.
My definition of a "business" requires that it persists even if the owner is suddenly absent. You may define it differently, but for the sake of resilience, consider that it is possible to apply any viable service to the creation of a "business" that matches my definition.
You can already write copy that sells. What if you looked for a way to use your own product, your own sales page, your own how-to guide, your own contract for commissions or royalties, your own something that doesn't require your daily involvement, to make some income? I won't claim it's trivial to make this work, but it's not harder than making a living writing copy.
And the FREE bonus for applying your skills to the market on your own behalf? You can turn down as many nutty clients as you want
P.S.: I wasn't smart enough to find your Fiverr profile. If I can't find it in a few minutes, there are others who can't find it, even if they are looking. Create at least one "door" into your business that you own!
