My side gig is that I have a few clients who pay me $1K a month for 10 hours of retainer. Most months, I barely put in 3 hours. A few, I might work 12 and I don't charge them because everyone's happy. They realize I have a day job and as such, I'm not going to be immediately available unless I can take a lunch break. A win for everyone.

One client is a former employer, another is a company in an adjacent industry who would have to pay substantially more for the agency who built their sites to look into things for them. The price is not super high, but on average I probably end up making about $350 an hour when it's all said and done because I get paid on retainer and not hourly.
