This is something like a roundup of a lot of inside-baseball thinking. Mostly of interest to serious online writers/publishers but the section covering Threadapalooza is possibly of interest to Twitter genpop since so many of you participated.https://twitter.com/ribbonfarm/status/1232129610952794112 …

It’s interesting times for writers who are in it for the writing (I’m primarily that), rather than as a means to something else like money, influence, marketing, lead-gen, or as an information-products business like online courses (all of which I’ve done as a side effect)

So long as you’re not about writing as an end in itself rather than a means, it’s totally a golden age. Great options for doing what you want to very effectively. Writing for the sake of writing is more mixed because temptations to solve for a valuable side effect are high.

I think the trick is being clear what game you’re in now, what each piece of tech enables, and what tradeoffs are involved in each case. Since the tech supports all games. For example, Patreon solves for community building not writing. Mailchimp solves for marketing not writing.
