First off, congratulations on your one-year mark as a copywriter! Your journey sounds like it's been filled with dedication and hard work.
Your experience on Fiverr, coupled with a diverse portfolio featuring reputable brands like Ashley Madison and Bubandu, speaks volumes about your capabilities as a copywriter. It's unfortunate that some organizations still consider more experience a prerequisite. However, keep in mind that the number of projects alone might not always be the primary factor.
Quality often surpasses quantity. While having a substantial number of projects is advantageous, showcasing your versatility, creativity, and the impact of your work on those projects is equally crucial. Your portfolio acts as a showcase of your abilities, so make sure each piece represents your best work and highlights your range of skills.
In addition to the portfolio, consider networking within the industry. Connections and recommendations can sometimes weigh as heavily, if not more, than the number of projects you've completed. Attend industry events, engage with professionals on LinkedIn, and seek mentorship or guidance from seasoned copywriters.
Your Contently portfolio looks clean and professional, showcasing a variety of projects. However, ensure that your portfolio is regularly updated with your latest and best work. It might also be beneficial to customize your portfolio or tailor your application materials for specific companies or industries you're applying to, emphasizing how your experience aligns with their needs.
Lastly, persistence pays off. Keep applying, refining your craft, and seeking opportunities to demonstrate your skills. Sometimes, it's a matter of finding the right fit or the right person who recognizes the value you bring.
Remember, your journey and growth as a copywriter are just as important as the number of projects you've completed. Keep refining your craft, learning from each experience, and showcasing your passion for the art of copywriting. Good luck!
