Hi,
I am looking to become a freelance copywriter.
I was wondering if there any way for a teen freelance copywriter to get work initially without using freelancing websites.
Because the competition there is just way too high.
Moreover, I can't contact those clients directly to build a long-term relationship with them.
This is another reason why I wanna avoid those platforms.
Can I get some suggestions?
