Short essays on getting paid, pricing, writing and running a solo business — plus notes when WorkKitly ships something new. Written by the WorkKitly desk; numbers, when they appear, are labelled examples with their assumptions stated.
WorkKitly Write went live today — a second kit, built so an unpublished draft never has to leave your device to be worked on.
Today WorkKitly gets a second kit. Write is ten small tools for planning, drafting and polishing a blog post — and every one of them runs in your browser, because an unpublished draft is nobody else's business. What was built, why it uploads nothing, and why the tools say plainly that they are not AI.
Read the post →A salary and an hourly rate look like cousins; they are not even the same species. One arrives with its costs paid by someone else — the other has to carry tax, admin, holidays, gaps and costs itself.
Read the post →A fixed price quoted against a two-line brief is a price for a guess. An essay on how vagueness gets billed to whoever quoted first — and the habit that prevents it: the words before the numbers.

Read the post →A title takes seconds to change before a post exists and an afternoon afterwards. An essay on the order of work: title, then outline, then intro — and why that order is the cheapest quality control there is.
Read the post →Quoting, invoicing and chasing payment are real work that rarely gets billed. This essay does the arithmetic on a clearly labelled example — and shows where the tools that shrink those hours live.
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.
