Sort of shocked by the number of spelling and grammatical errors in your post above, especially if you are being retained by Fortune 100 companies. I'm not trying to offend, just suggesting that good grammar is still a value we should all hold in high value, especially as consultants. Examples: “Online Reputation Mangement” (Management), “But its good to know” “but its interesting to me” (should be it's in both cases), committment (commitment).

I believe in business always look for a sensible way to create a continuity program in your business. This is what makes the difference because you are more or less be classified as in house of the company not just a contractor.

Hi-

Thanks for the research on this post. Fellow freelance mom here. I've been looking to move into more retainer based fees and needed some guidance with my proposals. I've written 2 but was not sure if I was on target. This post has some good references.

I much prefer a monthly retainer. Paying by task generally means a client that may or may not have more work in the future — or worse, they are low budget. Once you move into a retainer relationship you're not only able to count on the income — but you can also put more into the work then when you are restricted to a small, one-time budget.
