Making money from internet : problems

Goal: $5000 per monthI'll sell my services from $200-$500. Let's say $300 for easy math.
I'll need around 16 sales to hit the target, like 1 sale every 2 days.



I'm actually working on this since 2 months.

1st month:
In the first month I learned about the service and built a website. Wrote content of the landing page myself and designed myself too. I got one client, got paid like $90. As I was starting I kept the prices low. But the client was unhappy with the work. I decided I've not enough skill to continue and stopped the project.

2nd month:
I acquired more skill from online courses, I read a lot of blogs on the subject, youtube, e.t.c. I know my copy wasn't good because it was my first time so I ordered the copy from fiverr, used a premium theme which gave my site a more professional look.

Current position:
I'm searching for 5 clients to whom I'll provide my service for free in exchange for a testimonial.


Problems I'm facing right now:

Location: I operate from my home in a third world country, I'm no company or a big agency with a registered address. The clients asks me where's your company based? Lol what to say?

Providing Access:
 Clients are not willing to give login details to the site. Lol how am I suppose to do any development work without logging into the site.

Trust:
 The above 2 problems is related to this, they don't trust me. Can't blame them, I don't have a registered business address, I'm living in a third world country. I got no testimonials, because I'm just starting.

I want to begin this journey by a quote which shall remind me not to give up along this journey:

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Calvin Coolidge
30th president of US (1872 - 1933)
