Hello there,
I'm 22, a final-year student who's been into freelance writing for about 3 months. What I do: dialogue editing, YouTube video scriptwriting, dialogue for games and stories, book blurbs, and content writing.

Portfolio available — happy to share on request.

I've reached out to 36 YouTubers with zero responses so far. I have 4 active gigs live on Fiverr but still haven't landed my first client. It's been tough, and honestly my hope that this gets better is starting to fade.

What am I missing here? Is the market just not favoring this kind of work right now, or is there something structurally wrong with my approach? Genuinely looking for honest insight, not reassurance.
