Eric Deeran argues videographers should sell retainer packages instead of one-off projects. A $1,000 monthly retainer over 12 months beats a single $1,000 gig. Recurring revenue builds real income faster than buying more gear.
The secret to making a lot of money as a videographer is not to buy more gear, it's to have retainers and retainer packages in place. And so what I mean by this is having continuity that you can sell your clients into as opposed to one offs is going to be the biggest thing that helps you make more money. So think about if somebody paid you $1,000 once versus if they paid you $1,000 times 12 times 24 times 36. Get my point? So switch to retainers if you haven't already so you can make more money and have more consistent income as a videographer.
