We worry about our marketing strategy, whether we're not doing enough or not enough of the right things. Everywhere we turn someone is ready to

Books, Lies, and Black Friday
My inbox started to fill on Monday with the Black Friday sales. Today, I had to laugh when I got an email from a company that said it was the "last days" to buy something at 50% off, because you know what? They sent an email last week that said it was my

B2B Launcher episode #379 tells why hourly billing is holding freelance writers back. The insight that really hit me: "You're not selling time, you're selling outcomes."
15 compelling reasons why hourly billing punishes efficiency, caps income, and erodes client trust. The shift to value-based pricing isn't just about money. It’s about positioning yourself as a strategic partner, not a hired hand.
#FreelanceWriting #B2BLauncher #WritingBusiness #FreelanceTips https://b2blauncher.com/ep379/?inf_contact_key=024da50da16193249fffa3683d1bc988

Important perspective for freelance writers: The market shifts we're experiencing aren't just economic. AI is quietly reshaping client expectations and content creation. The key insight? Stop using AI tools randomly and start using them systematically to close capability gaps. Writers who position strategically in the next 18 months could see exponential growth.

Dealing with the Demons of the Publishing Unknown
One of the hardest parts of being an author is putting together a story that you are certain is amazing, offering it to the world and...nothing. Books that you expect to be flops may be successes, which isn't a bad thing at all. But the reverse, those books

Are you the consumer or what’s being sold?
The leading cause of enshittification of the internet is that the very people who use services like social media or crowdfunding platforms are now what's being sold--not the service itself. We've gotten away from selling goods and products to selling people and information

Removing Stress From Writing Is About Balance
