Writers: Stop charging by the hour
Most writers are stuck in a pricing trap.
Unfortunately…
They don't even realize they created it themselves.
That's what happened to one writer in Chicago.
He kept hitting income ceilings.
Turns out?
There are five levels of pricing that separate struggling writers from thriving ones.
Level 1: The per-word trap. (Run away from this as fast as possible).
Level 2: The hourly rate trap. This is where most writers get stuck. They trade time for money, which means they're always limited by the clock.
Level 3: Monthly retainers. Better, but still tied to time and effort.
Level 4: Per-asset pricing. This is where everything changes. Suddenly, time doesn't matter. Only results do.
Level 5: Outcome-based pricing. The holy grail of writing income.
Most writers never make it past level 2.
Afraid to ask for more.
Afraid clients will say no.
Maybe even afraid they're not worth it?
But here's the truth: These fears aren't real.
They're self-inflicted mental wounds that keep good writers from earning what they should.
Noodle this…
Ever looked back at your work from a year ago and thought "wow, I've improved so much."?
If you have?
You’re getting better.
Growing.
Improving.
Yet still doubting your worth in the present moment.
It's time to break free from this mindset.
In your corner,
