Today at 4 p.m. ET: How to score retainer deals

You’re invited ... [The Writer’ s Life]( April 5, 2022 "There is no coincidence that stability brings success, and success brings stability." – Robert Green Hi {NAME}, For most writers, the best part about freelancing is the absolute freedom. Coming and going as you please … Waking up when YOU want to … Taking vacations anytime … Working from anywhere … I could go on … but I'm guessing you've already thought about it! 😁 But one of the biggest hesitations that writers have before "taking the leap" into a freelance life is the question of stability. Hey, money is easy to come by in the freelance writing world. BUT — you may still want to know how much of it you'll earn next month. Enter: The "Holy Grail" of freelance writing … The Retainer Deal. 🏆 Retainer deals are the best way to "have it all" as a writer. You're still free to wake up at noon … play tennis at 3pm … set up shop in a little café in Paris … But with a retainer deal in-hand, you've got the added stability of a regular, monthly paycheck. Or, multiple paychecks, if you set up more than one! Retainers are not hard to come by. Clients actually prefer them, in many cases for numerous reasons. And today at 4 p.m. ET, I'll be going live with my Learning Chief, Pam Foster, to tell you alllllll about how to score retainer deals … plus everything you need to know once you do. It's a completely FREE hour-long learning session, and you can [get access instructions right here](. When you join us at 4 p.m. ET, we'll cover: - How to land a retainer deal (including exactly what to say to clients) … - The four easiest ones to land … - Negotiating fees … - How to structure your agreement … - Avoiding "scope creep" … - Keeping your clients happy … - Increasing fees over time … And much more! I should note, we're not talking about a few hundred dollars of predictable income … We'll be talking about retainers that can bring in thousands of dollars a month. Each! One of them even pays upwards of $5,000 … for a single contract. Spoiler: [it's this one](. Every company in every niche needs them. And they're needed every … single … month. In some cases, daily. Making them a great opportunity for retainers. But again, it's only one of many that we'll show you how to land during our FREE training on retainer deals today at 4 p.m. ET — [right here](.
