Why am I struggling to find content writing work?

At first people were paying much too less and I was exploited then when I finally found a good client, he started developing an attitude and all because I didn't want to chat with him all the time. After 5 years of experience I really thought it would be easier. Am I asking for too much? I just ask for 7 cents a word. I sent out so many cold emails, I even approached those looking to hire. 98% of them didn't even have the decency to reply back and some said they don't have any opportunities. What am I doing wrong?
