Eight categories make up this week's writing league — content production, coaching, straightforward copywriting, AI-assisted writing, Kindle and Amazon publishing, and newsletters — scored on how many products compete, how much monthly recurring revenue they hold, what share of products clears the line, and what the average product earns.

content_creation_general fields the largest roster: 2,982 products holding $303,130 in monthly recurring revenue. Of those, 11.4% clear, and the average product earns $2,660.

ai_writing carries a similar headcount — 2,050 products and $42,620 in MRR — but only 4.6% clear, and the average product earns $656.

copywriting, a separate line from the coaching category below, holds 340 products, $15,860 in MRR, a 19.1% clearance rate, and a $755 average.

amazon_kdp counts 145 products and $12,620 in MRR, with 40% clearing and a $1,260 average.

writing holds 169 products and $2,940 in MRR, with 16.7% clearing and a $245 average.

Two categories carry no clearance figure at all. kindle_book_publishing lists 681 products against $342 in MRR, averaging $9 per product. newsletter lists 358 products against $241 in MRR, also averaging $9 per product.

The category whose ratio beats the rest of the league is copywriting_coaching. On just 154 products and $69,900 in MRR, 77.5% clear — the highest share on the board — and the average product earns $1,750.

Ranked by clearance share alone, the order runs copywriting_coaching at 77.5%, amazon_kdp at 40%, copywriting at 19.1%, writing at 16.7%, content_creation_general at 11.4%, and ai_writing at 4.6%. kindle_book_publishing and newsletter carry no clearance figure to rank.

None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what exists this week: product counts, recurring revenue, clearance shares, and per-product averages, category by category.
