As someone who is a prolific writer, I happen to respect good writing.
These days, however, writings skills are not generating much by way of compensation. Journalism, for instance, a profession that was a good livelihood generator for writers, is an imploding industry.
Against that backdrop, here is a startup idea that could become a good earning mechanism for writers, while not getting run over by the Media industry’s existential crisis.
Here, I am thinking of writers becoming affiliates of a specific genre of e-commerce merchants.
I would like to see some new entrepreneurs develop some new, highly curated affiliate networks in specific genres. For instance, clothing for professional women, dress shirts for men, children’s clothes, original art, adventure travel, culture travel, etc.
