High-income skill
A capability that reliably commands well above-average pay.
Sales, software, copywriting that measurably converts, paid acquisition, complex negotiation. What they share is a direct, provable link to revenue - the closer you sit to money coming in, the more you can charge.
A high-income skill is the fastest reliable route from nothing to real money, and the most common funding source for everything else on this site. It is a starting line, though: income alone does not compound.
