Bills · Contract · Late emails

You finished the work. Why aren’t you paid yet?

Did they say “we’ll pay you next week”? Did you skip the deposit because you wanted the job? Did the due date feel like a suggestion? Do you freeze when it’s time to send a late email?

That is how freelancers go unpaid. Not because the work was bad. Because there was no contract, no deposit, a fuzzy due date, and no second email.

The Get-Paid File is an invoice, a two-page contract, four late-pay emails, and a tracker. You download it, type your name in, and send the same papers every client. US letter. $8 once. So the due date is a real date, and you have a next step if they miss it.

What’s inside

Five things. That is the whole kit.

You download it once. You type your name in. You use it on every client. No monthly fee. No app to learn.

  1. 01

    The bill

    Open it in a browser. Type your info. Print to PDF. Due date on the page. Bank details on the page so nobody has to ask how to pay.

  2. 02

    A short contract

    Two pages. Plain English. Both people know the deal before work starts: pay, late fee, pause work, who owns the files (they do — after they pay), two rounds of changes, and a cancel fee if they stop the job.

  3. 03

    A one-page job list

    What you will do. What you will not. How many changes. When money moves. If the job will not fit on one page, the job is not scoped yet.

  4. 04

    Four reminder emails

    The morning after the due date. Day 7. Day 14 (pause work). Day 30 (last notice). Copy, attach the PDF, send. Do not write a new email at 11 p.m.

  5. 05

    A simple spreadsheet

    One row per bill. It tells you the balance, how many days late, and which email to send next. Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

How it works

Fifteen minutes the first time. Then you reuse it.

  1. 1
    Buy. Instant download. A zip on your computer. Open the start-here file. No app after that.
  2. 2
    Put your name on it. Send the contract, then the bill. Get both signed. Take the deposit. Then start the work.
  3. 3
    If they miss the due date, copy the matching email. Attach the PDF. Pause work when you said you would.

Who this is for

Not for you if

You need a whole company system, or you want a lawyer on the phone.

  • A bunch of colorful templates with no contract

One time

$8

Pay once. Use it forever.

Not a monthly fee. Unlimited clients. You keep the files on your computer.

I want this — $8

This is not a lawyer. It is a template kit. Laws on late fees, contractor status, and who owns the work change by state. For a big or weird job, have a real lawyer licensed in your state look at the version you actually send.
