This is a YouTube video titled "Skills That Make You A Dangerously Profitable Writer" containing a monologue or talk from August 6, 2024, discussing the non-writing skills essential for writers to increase their profitability, such as consulting, sales, account management, and business strategies. The content focuses on expanding beyond writing competence to include broader business skills to enhance value.
These are the non writing skills that make you dangerously profitable as a writer. Free consulting, sales, account management, fulfillment, business models. So upsells down sells, negotiating and category creation. So not just differentiating yourself, but understanding how to leverage that and differentiate other people, helping your clients differentiate themselves. And the big idea here is that most writers who are stuck not earning the amount of money that they want to make are stuck there because they think the game is about getting better at writing. And obviously you have to be somewhat competent, right? You can't just not know how to write and then expect to get paid for it. But the game is not get better and better at writing only, and then other people pay you more. That is not the game. The game is really get competent at writing and then learn all the other skills that make you more and more valuable.
