Nicolas Cole argues writers make money not from writing but from managing clients, generating ideas together, and optimizing content based on data. The marketplace favors writers who evolve beyond word-craft to these higher-value services.
This is the big realization that we help writers have, is that the majority of your value actually is not your ability to write. Yes, writing is important, but you're getting paid to do all the other things that surround the writing. You're getting paid to manage the client. You're getting paid to help the client come up with better ideas. You're getting paid to iterate based on what's happening when you publish content. So your value is not just your ability to write words. And so there's never been a better time in history to be a writer. It's just you have to recognize that the role is changing and you need to change with it.
