Weak retainer offers
Many freelancers and agencies live in a 'feast or famine' cycle because they only sell one-time projects. They struggle to create monthly packages that clients actually value, leaving them with unpredictable income and constant stress.
Requires understanding how to package services, but the payoff is massive because every business owner wants recurring revenue.
Analysis based on market demand, income potential, and implementation difficulty.

The psychology of the buyer
Because starting every month at $0 revenue is terrifying.
