Nicolas Cole says solo ghostwriters hit a plateau around five clients and $25,000 a month. At that point you face three choices: stay put, build systems for more free time, or hire staff and scale into an agency. Which path you pick depends on what you actually want.
Right around 5 client slots and doing around $25 grand a month, you've sort of hit this first plateau where you kind of need to decide, do I like where I am? I could work harder and increase my income another 20, 30% maybe. I could build more systems that maybe allow me to reclaim time, make this even more of a lifestyle business.

Do you want to expand your capacity that way?
