After 10 years closing deals at companies like Criteo (268% quota), Deel, and Autodesk, I learned something that changed everything: the person across the table doesn't care what you charge per hour.
They care what the result costs them NOT to have.
Here's how I'm structuring revenue on Contra:
- Digital products ($97-$599) = passive income that sells while I sleep
- Services ($1,750-$8K+) = high-ticket consulting for SaaS growth teams
- Subscription product ($299/mo) = recurring revenue from AI sales intelligence
The game isn't picking one. It's building a stack where each tier feeds the next.
What's your revenue architecture look like? Curious how others are stacking income streams here.
Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
A calculator that runs by itself is a clever way to show the product without asking anyone to read. Watching a price turn into an invoice explains the value instantly.
A flat rate, 7-day delivery and only 5 slots is a clean offer for agencies at BFCM. In the A/B variant, do you usually test the headline or the hero visual first?
