15 y/o Copywriter Starting Outreach – What Would You Do If You Were Me?

Hey everyone , I’m Atharv (AJ)

15 y/o from India.

Been learning copywriting for 2 - 3 months,

wrote a few email sequences for imaginary products (Slack tool, focus app, podcast launch),

but now I want to move from practice to real-world reps.

I’m starting outreach today to offer free work for testimonials, but I’m facing these real limitations:

No niche chosen
No personal brand (just 98 followers)
No testimonials or results yet
No payment gateway (parents don’t allow it)
No sales/outreach experience

Still, I’m going all in. I’ve got 45 - 90 mins daily, I’ll do the uncomfortable stuff, and I’ll put in serious effort.

🧠 If you were in my shoes, what would YOU do differently?

– What 1–2 things should I focus on this week to get my first testimonial?

– How could I optimize my Profile to build trust at first impression

– Any outreach tips or cold DM examples that worked for you early on?

Any advice, tough love, or links to learn from would seriously help.

🙏Appreciate anyone who replies — I’ll reply to every comment

Also, if you want to roast or improve my current Insta bio

I’m open to all feedback.
