In this Loom, I'll be discussing our pricing model for ongoing projects. I love predictability and knowing what we're going to do, so we use a pricing per task model. This allows us to know how much time we'll be investing and how much to charge. We don't use a monthly subscription model because it can create unwanted pressure and make us feel like we're the client's employee. Plus, it's harder to predict what we'll be doing for the client in a certain month. Instead, we charge per task with a minimum of two days a month. This gives us predictability of revenue and helps us cover our bases when we start going wide or extend beyond that. We also build a monthly invoice with the client. Our system is simple and effective, and it enables us to be in control of our time and profitability.
