August numbers
Want to give you guys a look at my August numbers Revenue: $38,762.58 Expenses: -$7,827.46 Income before taxes: $30,935.12 I worked with 10 clients (about $30k in revenue), made ~$6k from X creator payouts (best month ever for that), about $2k from sponsored posts, and then a couple hundred bucks from other random things. Solid month overall. Been thinking about hiring a writer to help me out since I definitely have lots more clients I could work with but don't want to over-book myself

Congrats on the great month, Charlie. Working with 10 clients solo is awesome. Your workflows must be absolutely dialled in. I've been offering copywriting/content/ghostwriting services and consulting to clients since the end of 2024. Based on my convos with other ghostwriters, most said they maxxed out at 5 clients when they were solo. I've never got that high (most I've done is 3 done-for-you and 5 consulting/done-with-you) Do you offer consulting calls? I'd be curious to learn more about how you work. Happy to share some behind-the-scenes of how I work as well.
X payouts
X payouts just increased for me Even though my analytics were barely above the last few pay periods, got a good pay increase The new payout program that rewards original content will take effect in a few weeks, but I’m guessing they’ve already made a lot of the changes that reward original content

So glad they're fixing this. There was a period there where the incentives were leading to a lot of slop content on the X feed. Great bump up in your earnings the last 6 or so weeks.
Productized Service vs. Being the go-to writer
A couple years ago, I focused on offering my writing services as a productized service Put a large emphasis on the deliverables (number of posts per day/week) Now, I'm mostly attracting clients who view me as the go-to writer and trust me to post as little or often as needed to get the results they want I think a lot of people advise against this since it's harder to scale (which is true), but has been less stressful for me with under 10 clients - but I've found I can typically charge more. Anyone else have experience with this dynamic?

Thanks for sharing, Charlie. Makes sense. A productized service gets treated as more of a commodity. If you want to stay solo then doing non-scalable but a highly differentiated (because of the client's trust in your taste and ability to deliver results) service will be better as you're experiencing because you can work with less clients and charge more per.
Threads
Threads is super underrated Starting an account for Chase there on Saturday. Reworked some of my old material and had several go viral there. +14.9k followers in just two days. Seems like a lot of the hooks and formats that people have used over and over again on X are still fresh and new to Threads users.

I cross a lot of my X stuff to Threads via third-party scheduler but never logon to the platform. The other day I happened to take a look at my Threads analytics to compare to X and was shocked: Threads (last 30 days): 111 Followers ~100,000 impressions X (30 days) 102,000 followers ~700,000 impressions 1000x more followers on X than Threads but only 7x more impressions. And I posted more on X because it's my primary social media and I don't cross post everything over to Threads. Last 30 days is a similar ratio of impressions 8x more on X than Threads with still 1000x more followers on the former.
