Great read Finn! As a writer, we often want to just create. But we have to think of our craft as a business if we truly want to have freedom to do it autonomously. There's no shame in that, no matter what some may say. For me personally, I've been able to make much more than the average freelancer by 1) not calling myself a freelancer, and 2) positioning myself and my writing as a business consultant, not just someone who gets paid by the word or the hour. It's helped immensely in escaping what you call the 'writing income trap'. Thank you for sharing this!
I write a lot about how writers can really empower their writing revenue. This article has more salient information in it than I've seen before. It's right on and answers a ton of questions while offering problem solutions. I could not have done any better myself. You might consider writing a course around these ideas. And Finn, in your spare time, if you wanted to use your analytic skills to develop a useful story for Pen2Profit, I'd be eternally grateful. We pay a small stipend if your story brings paid subscribers. Think about it?

Hi Charlie,
Excellent points 👏
Consulting is one of those multiplicative skills I'm talking about in this article.

Hi Maryan,
I would happily develop a useful story for Pen2Profit, and no stipends are needed.
I'm just trying to figure out these problems, and researching and writing helps me think them through.
Send me an email about what kind of story. I can’t wait!!!! mkpelland at gmail
