TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:25] Today’s Topic: Your Pricing Plan
  • [00:30] Should you charge hourly, monthly, or annually?
  • [00:35] When you trade hours for dollars, you cannot scale.
  • [02:04] You just need steady income, so make sure there is a contract for at least a year, no matter how you bill.
  • [03:05] Monthly is fine, but yearly is ideal.
  • [03:15] If you can’t get customers to commit to a year, get them to commit to less time, but not month by month.
