Short advice from a YouTube video recommending retainers as the primary solution to inconsistent revenue: set up monthly client retainers for defined deliverables to create recurring revenue, which stabilizes income and enables scaling to higher monthly revenue; one-off projects are secondary. Emphasizes recurring payments as the foundation for building predictable revenue streams.

The number one way to fix inconsistent revenue is to implement retainers. This is where a client's paying you every single month for a certain amount of deliverables. And in exchange you get what we call recurring revenue. And recurring revenue is when they're paying you every day on a certain deadline. That's how you build 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, 100k a month is by having those recurring revenue payments. And then anything you do for one offs is just icing on the cake. On top of that.
