I haven't been very lucky so far. Out of 4 or 5 replies, 2 were scams, the other ones were invitations to apply to jobs that paid $1 per 500 words. Yes you read well. $1 per 500 words... (I'm willing to start cheap but writing 1000 words for $2 minus fees seemed like a waste of time, was I wrong?)
Now I've received this invitation:
His profile seems legit, but giving him my address? If he's registered in Santa Clara and is currently in Mexico he knows no one that can receive the postcard from him? I know Google sends postcards but this smells like the "review a product for me, buy a gift card and send me a pic of the code" lol.
I wonder what I'm doing wrong, I've been sending proposals like you said, I have two portfolio pieces.. .maybe add some more?
I'm submitting no more than 3 proposals every other day so I don't get banned or anything.
This is a sample proposal btw:

Former fish mom + Blog article writer
Hi! I see you are looking for someone to write about owning pet fish. Preferably someone with some knowledge on the topic based on your question (answered below). I've written for small businesses and entrepreneur blogs and helped them provide quality content to their audience.
Could you tell me a bit about the platform and audience the articles would be for?
When you work with me you will get an up to 2000 words article, research and one revision included for this bid price. The writing will be clean, triple-checked for errors and delivered within the stipulated deadline. If this is what you need, hit me with a message! I do not mind answering questions at all.
Best,
BellaPippin (replaced)
What is a good pet fish for beginners? (Under 100 words)
A good pet fish for beginners would be of a species that will be hardy and forgiving of common first-owner’s mistakes such as less-than-desirable water parameters, overfeeding, and some actions that tend to stress fishes, like unnecessary and excessive water changes. A good example would be a Betta. Do not, however, have them in a tank too small for them. Most pet chains suggest Bettas are fine in small little desktop bowl decorations but this is far from accurate. Get at least a 5 gallon tank! Source: Former betta owner
