Hey, it's Paul from Just Add Hustle.
You know one of the few perks of a 9-to-5 that I kinda, sorta miss?
A consistent paycheck every month.
When I first got started as a copywriter I was a "feast or famine" freelancer. Some months we did great; other months... well, let's just say the money talk with my wife could get awkward.
Thankfully, those awkward money talks are a thing of the past.
These days, I can count on a consistent income every month from my client work.
It's the financial security of a day job without the hassle of a day job!
The secret?
I've got my best clients on retainer.
A retainer is a great way to provide value to your clients while ensuring financial stability for yourself and your family -- IF you set the retainer up the right way.
(Get it wrong and a retainer can have you working loads more hours than you'd like for far less than you deserve.)
If you'd like to learn how to benefit from a retainer in your own freelance business, you'll want to listen to this.
The newest episode of Just Add Hustle features freelance writer Laura Pennington as a guest and it's chock full of secrets and strategies you can use to take your freelance biz to six figures and beyond.
A sneak peak:
Laura shows you the 3-step process she used to take her business from $3k in recurring income back in January to, get this, $15k a month in recurring income today!
Think that might make the money talk with your spouse a little less stressful?
Then get thyself here post haste:
Yes, the examples Laura gives are from her writing business, but they'll work for ANY freelancer interested in more financial freedom.
Talk soon,
Paul
