The next set of skills writers can use are: coding, (public) speaking and design.

Coding. Learning to code  is critical to understanding the layout and future formation of our society. Coding is a craft that will serve as the foundation upon which many digital society will be built. Digital work is affecting how we buy, communicate, connect, sell, and even govern. Any writer who wants to listen to the heartbeat of our global society will invest the time to code now.

(Public) Speaking. Know how to articulate your ideas in writing and speaking are two different skills. Writers should know how to articulate their ideas, their product benefits, convey compassion by speaking. Public speaking provides a space for  genuine connection, and for writers to present their ideas in a different way then typically experienced by their tribe.  These opportunities to connect with their audience via webinars, conferences, digital talks, and podcasts are avenues for more connecting and selling.
