#306: Offering Recurring Subscriptions As A Freelancer | The Holy Grail Of Freelancing


Listen Later

The life of a freelancer sounds amazing on the surface....

The freedom of being your own boss and setting your own hours. The flexibility of working when you want. For some, even traveling the world as a digital nomad is a possibility.

While that can all be true, the dark side is that there can also be a lot of unpredictability.

What if you could change that? Imagine knowing how much you're going to earn each month and having a clear picture of who you're working for in the coming months.

This isn’t just a nice thought... It's a reality for freelancers offering recurring services - think subscriptions, retainers, or monthly packages.

When you do this, you move from always hunting for the next client to having "automatic clients." This idea comes from turning one-time gigs into ongoing relationships where clients pay regularly for continued services.

Typically, freelancing is a one-and-done deal. You get a project, you do the work, you get paid, and that’s the end of the story. You start each month at zero—no guaranteed money, no clients waiting. It's like hitting the reset button every 30 days, which can make budgeting a nightmare and stability a pipe dream.

But does it have to be this way? Not really. This constant chase for new gigs is a trap many fall into by only taking on one-off projects. There’s a better strategy that can help smooth out the highs and lows: setting up a recurring revenue model.

If you’re tired of the freelance rollercoaster, check out this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative podcast where I dive into recurring revenue for freelancers.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Creating a stable income stream by using recurring offers
  • Identifying industries that work well with recurring (or reoccurring) models
  • Helping your clients with a recurring service
  • Selling unlimited packages on a subscription basis
  • Making recurring packages valuable to your clients
