A short YouTube clip by Eric Deeran advising videographers to prioritize retainer packages over one-off projects to increase and stabilize income. The speaker contrasts single payments with recurring monthly retainers (e.g., $1,000 once vs. $1,000 repeated monthly) to illustrate how continuity multiplies revenue and delivers consistent cash flow.
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.
