Hey, writers!

Are you sitting there, typing away, dreaming of making your words pay off big time, but feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels?

Well, what if I tell you you’re not alone? And there’s a reason for this to happen.

In this article, we dive into the golden rule most writers miss: the delicate dance between quality, speed, and cost and what a nine-to-five can teach us.

But I’m also gonna reveal a “secret sauce” to not only survive but thrive in the writing world right at the end.

Imagine unlocking the power to create content that’s not just good, but great, without sacrificing all your time or sanity.

Using insights from product management, we’ll explore how to craft content that sings without breaking the bank or the clock.

By the end of this article, you’ll learn how to balance these crucial elements to make your writing journey not just sustainable, but spectacularly successful.

Get ready to crack the code to writing!

With that said, let’s deep dive.

I come from Product Management. In a company that provides services to customers. So, I’m in the service product marketing. And in that world, there’s a simple rule that seems to puzzle most product managers.

Even the most experienced.

One that most of them fail to get and so they fall in the trap of despair.

But once they get it, everything comes to its place.

And it’s so applicable to writing!

Because writing is a service too! We sell our services to readers.

Imagine this: you start writing hoping to gain momentum soon. Many already did. You keep consistency. You stay authentic. You aim for quality. You push it to the limits. And then suddenly, it’s not as easy as expected.
