If every project feels like you're starting from scratch, it’s time to think about productizing.
Productized services are pre-defined writing offers with a fixed scope, timeline, and price. Instead of quoting from scratch every time, you say: This is what I offer. Here’s what it includes. Here’s what it costs. Simple. Scalable. Sanity-saving.

The magic is in the repeatability. You get faster, the quality goes up, and the profit margins widen. Clients love it because they know exactly what they’re getting.
Why This Model Works So Well
Custom projects are chaos factories. The scope shifts. The client doesn’t know what they want. You spend more time quoting and clarifying than writing.
Productized offers eliminate that. You define the outcome, set the boundaries, and charge for the value—not the time. That’s how you shift from being a writer-for-hire to being a service provider with an offer that sells itself.

Bonus: When you productize, you can eventually delegate parts of the process. Research. Admin. Even some writing. That’s how you start building a business, not just doing a job.
