Retainerly films your clients once a month, edits everything into short-form videos, and schedules it across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. They pay a flat monthly fee. You build predictable revenue.
One 1–2 hour session at your client's location. You film raw footage of their business, their team, their product in action.
CapCut, Descript, whatever works. The raw footage becomes TikTok clips, Reels, Shorts — each optimized for its platform.
Buffer, Meta Business Suite, or whichever tool your client prefers. Consistent posting, every week. You handle it.
Retainer structure. Predictable cash flow. No chasing invoices. 3–4 clients = $2,000–$4,000 MRR.
One shoot. 15 videos. 30 days of content. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts — filmed and scheduled every single month. Your client's social presence never goes dark.
Most local businesses have a messy stack — a website, a contact form, an email list, a scheduling tool, none of it connected. You fix it. Zapier, Make.com, SMS reminders, automated follow-ups.
Not a freelancer on Upwork — a monthly partner. Inbox management, calendar scheduling, customer invoicing, data entry. 10, 20, or 40 hours per month. Package pricing, predictable billing.
Charge your clients these prices. You keep the margin. Your tools cost $0 — CapCut, Buffer, Zapier all have free tiers.
"The local gym owner, the real estate agent, the roofer with 12 employees — they don't need a consultant. They need someone to show up once a month, do the work, and let them forget about it."
That's Retainerly. A flat monthly fee, a monthly shoot, a steady stream of content going out under their name. No drama. No micromanaging. No chasing them for content approval.

Zero inventory. Zero ad spend. Zero clients until you go find them.
Local businesses have real problems. You have a repeatable solution. The margin is yours. The time to start is now.
