About this ebook

Recurring Revenue for Freelancers is a detailed, practical guide to The Freelancer's Guide to Recurring Revenue for readers who want a clear path from understanding the topic to using it confidently in real situations. The book is designed as a structured learning companion rather than a shallow overview: it introduces the core ideas, explains why they matter, then develops them through realistic examples, guided practice, scenario-based explanations, and common mistakes to avoid. Readers are taken step by step from foundational concepts into everyday applications, with each chapter building on the previous one so the material feels progressive, usable, and easy to revisit. The main areas of focus include The Feast-or-Famine Trap, The Five Recurring Revenue Models, The Retainer Client Blueprint, Pricing Your Recurring Packages, Audit Your Services for Recurring Potential, From Project to Retainer: The Conversion System, The Subscription Service Offer, Designing Your Service Menu, Your First 90 Days: The Launch Plan, Seven Retainer Mistakes and How to Avoid Them, giving the book a concrete learning arc that moves from orientation and confidence-building to applied communication, problem solving, and independent practice. The writing style is direct, supportive, and accessible, making the book suitable for self-study, classroom reinforcement, professional development, or personal improvement. It emphasizes practical understanding over abstract theory, so readers can immediately connect the lessons to conversations, decisions, habits, and challenges they are likely to face outside the page. By the end of the book, readers should have not only a stronger grasp of the subject, but also a collection of repeatable strategies, useful language patterns, mental models, and practical routines they can continue applying after they finish reading.

About the author

Kenneth Jackson has spent over fifteen years as a freelance digital strategist and consultant, working with clients ranging from solo entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies. After spending his first five years in the industry trapped in the feast-or-famine cycle that plagues most independent professionals, he made a conscious decision to restructure his business around recurring revenue. Within eighteen months, he had replaced his project-based income with retainer clients, and within three years, he had doubled his income while working fewer hours.

Since then, Kenneth has helped hundreds of freelancers make the same transition through his coaching practice, online courses, and speaking engagements at events including the Freelance Business Summit and Creative South. His approach is grounded in practical, actionable systems that work for real freelancers in real markets—not theoretical advice from someone who has never managed a client roster.

Kenneth lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and two children, where he continues to run his consulting practice while writing and teaching. When he's not working, you'll find him trail running in Forest Park or experimenting with sourdough baking. He believes that freelancing should be a path to freedom, not a different flavor of corporate exhaustion, and he's on a mission to help as many independent professionals as possible build businesses that support the lives they actually want to live.
