It sounds like you are just great at sales for creative work. If that's the case, perhaps you can make more money doing BD for a dev shop or creative agency? I think the question is what the end goal is: if it's to make a lot of money, you'll have to model out the time, resources, and clients you'll need to make X amount of money and weight that vs the opportunity cost of doing BD for someone else. If it's the autonomy/owning your own business, that's a different set of analyses.
