Hey Redditors, need some real advice here.

I've been offered a freelance retainer with a US-based B2B tech company (they're in the RFP space so pretty niche). Here's the offer on the table:

• $600/month for 12 blogs — this includes keyword research, content strategy, and the actual writing

• 4% commission on every inbound lead that gets closed

• On top of blogs, they also want marketing strategy input — SEO roadmap, LinkedIn, YouTube direction

Here's where I'm stuck.

I actually LIKE this company. The niche is interesting, the product is solid, and I can see this being a long-term relationship. I don't want to walk away or come across as difficult.

But something feels off about the numbers. $600 for 12 blogs already feels tight when you factor in research and writing time.

And the strategy layer like SEO, LinkedIn, YouTube recommendations feels like it should be a separate conversation entirely.

The 4% commission is interesting in theory, but I have zero visibility about how many deals they close a month and how many inbounds they get now so I genuinely can't tell if that's meaningful upside or just a nice-sounding add-on.

My questions:

1. Is this offer fair for the scope, or am I right to feel it's on the lower side?

2. How do you separate "blog writing" from "marketing strategy" in a retainer and price them differently?

3. What's the smartest, most professional way to negotiate without making them feel like I'm rejecting the opportunity?

4. Should I push for a higher flat retainer, or lean into the commission structure?

I really want to make this work, I just want to make sure I'm not starting from a place where I'm already undervaluing myself.

Any advice from people who've navigated B2B content retainers would mean a lot. 🙏

PS: They're an RFP company so this is niche, technical content that actually needs to be good to convert.
