I also have interviews that don't go further, it's part of applying, especially when clients have 50+ applicants to choose from.

As for your question - my first client was in the B2B SaaS business - and I had no idea if I could deliver what he wanted. I had to edit (that was the easy part) and create outlines for lots of industries I had ZERO knowledge of. But with plenty of research, I made it happen, and the client was a repeat customer.

Generally, I apply to things I'm fairly confident I can achieve AND nowadays, it has to be something I enjoy as well - doing a job you hate can feel like forever.

But, every once in a while I shoot for the stars and aim for copywriting jobs that are a little out of my league.

I would suggest balancing your proposals - easy, medium and difficult, and apply at least 20 times per week. The risk of applying to jobs you're not very skilled in is getting bad reviews and ruining your score.
