If you put together a nice project plan, and clearly demonstrate to your prospective client how you will help them on a regular long-term basis, everything should come together. Whether youâre asking for $500/mo, $3,000 or $10,000/mo as your retainer fee, it doesnât really matter.The principles and approach are all the same. The monthly fee you ask for will depend on the amount of value and hours youâll be spending with this client each week and month.et your consulting fees as a monthly retainer. This means billing them each month on an agreed to price. And I recommend billing them at the beginning of each month for that monthâs work.
The platypus is one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom. Platypuses (which is the correct plural form, not platypi) have a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver; a sleek, furry body like an otter; and a flat bill and webbed feet like a duck. In fact, the first time a platypus was brought from Australia to Britain, people couldn't believe that it was a real animal.
The male platypus has a spur on either hind foot that excretes venom. Though females are also born with the spurs, they fall off before adulthood. Aside from two other mammals -- certain species of shrew and solenodons -- harboring venom is a trait usually reserved for reptiles and amphibians.n fact, the male platypus produces venom mostly during the spring, which just happens to be when platypus couples breed [source: National Institutes of Health ]. Apparently, the venom isn't meant to kill other males, only to provide for a rousing fight.
