If someone needs headline copy they're probably going to need copy for the body of the email / primary text for an ad as well.
Which means they'd rather just hire someone that can do both. Unless your headlines are so good they made millions in the past.. Which they aren't.
Forget about copywriting skills right now - you need to learn how to sell yourself and add value. Nobody gives a flying F*ck about you and 95% of the things you wrote. All people care about making money and looking good in the process.
And so..
Why would anyone pick you when you said you're just starting out? "FREE" doesn't seem attractive at all to someone with an actual business.
Why are you promising conversions when, again, you said you're just starting out? You don't know that.
And lastly - why do you need up to two business days to provide a few headlines, lol?
Here's what I would do:
1. Be honest and never overpromise
2. Expand your work to more than just headlines
3. Help someone with a new business here
4. Get results
5. Leverage said results for paid work
