Recurring Revenue Models for Solo Business Owners

When money shows up every month without chasing it down, your business feels less stressful and more stable. Here's how to set that up:

3 Ways to Earn Recurring Revenue:

  • Memberships – People pay to be part of your private group or community.

  • Retainers – Clients pay you monthly to keep working with you.

  • Subscriptions – Customers pay for your product or service on a regular basis.

How to Structure Your Offer:

  • Weekly or monthly check-in calls

  • Ongoing project work (like content creation, updates, coaching)

  • Exclusive access to templates, trainings, or resources

Tips to Keep Clients Happy:

  • Make a strong first impression

  • Deliver helpful content or services regularly
