Short essays on getting paid, pricing, writing and running a solo business — plus notes when WorkKitly ships something new. The full posts live on the blog itself; this page is the shelf they sit on.
WorkKitly Write went live today — a second kit, built so an unpublished draft never has to leave your device to be worked on.

Read the post →Every category here has real posts in it. New shelves are added only when their first post exists — no empty rooms.
Launches, changes and notes from behind the build — written when something ships, with the dates and details checked against the thing itself.
Browse WorkKitly Notes →Essays on the craft of posts and content: how a piece gets planned, structured, drafted and finished — the work before the work is read.
Browse Writing →Essays on the money side of solo work. The how-tos and calculators live on the main site as guides and tools; here they get argued, priced and examined.
Browse Getting Paid →Essays on the number itself — what an hourly rate has to contain before any of it is pay, taken apart one assumption at a time.
Browse Pricing & Rates →Essays on briefs, scope and the client conversations that decide whether a job stays profitable after it has been sold.
Browse Clients →The blog argues; the kits do. When a post sends you somewhere, it is to one of these two — both free, both running in your browser.
Set a rate that survives taxes, expenses and unpaid admin; send a proposal that looks like you mean business; invoice without a watermark; chase a late payment in three tones. The whole money chain, in the order money moves.
Open the Get Paid Kit →Title, outline, intro, readability, meta and a pre-publish checklist — plus ideas, conclusions, FAQs and client briefs. Ten tools that carry a post from a keyword to a publishable draft, with nothing uploaded.
