Revenue for the writer on popular company (6)
I believe the answer is:
income
'revenue' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'the writer on popular company' is the wordplay.
'the writer' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'in'+'co'='inco'
'me' after 'inco' is 'INCOME'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for income that I've seen before include "Money received for work or from investment" , "Wage" , "Pay earned" , "Financial gain accruing over a given period of time" , "Money earned" .)
