Some people genuinely like and are compelled to help others. They’re not “content marketing”.
Maybe you're not doing it for monetary gains but there's always a reason.
For example, I might start telling people how great you are because you give a lot of Google ads content for free and you'll feel good about it because now you feel surrounded by good people who will protect you from lions and tigers.
@LaneMan end this already, better learn from this thread.
it has some gold content, I am I'm similar condition as you, but I can verify clients don't see budget when they can afford it.
I don't have a portfolio so that's why I didn't get that gig, and now I am trying to become an authority in that niche.

End what? The conversations have been fruitful and interesting. You seem to be taking sides. You'll end up losing a lot of valuable information that way because you will only accept the answers from people you're siding with.
We're not running a competition here.
The reason why they rejected you is because they're smart people who only hire people with good looking portfolios. If you live in India, you'll mostly find these kind of people - they don't like taking unnecessary risks. In the US, UK, and other developed countries, businesses have a ton more money and can afford to make mistakes.
If you can find igorant business owners, you can charge up to 100x what you're charging now.
