Below is an UpWork gig I submitted a proposal for, yesterday.
I think anyone in this community could be in a good position to at least submit a proposal for the gig below after going through Nabeel's 'Profitable AF Emails' course a few times.
Apply for 2-3 of these a day for 30 days and even if you don't land a gig you get a lot of experience in 'selling yourself' and figuring out what kind of copy interests you and build a portfolio.
There are quite a few gigs like this on UpWork daily.
---------------------------------
Pay - $200
Cost to apply - I spent 15 UpWork connects = $2
