If people pay you late
The Get-Paid File: Freelance Invoice Kit
$8
Did they say they will pay you next week? Did you skip the deposit because you wanted the job? Do you freeze when it is 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.
This is the papers you send every client: an invoice, a two-page contract in plain English, four late-pay emails, and a tracker. Type your name in. Print to PDF. The due date is a real date, and you have a next step if they miss it.
- Invoice with the due date and how to pay on the page
- Two-page contract: pay, late fee, pause work, who owns the files
- Ready emails for the day they miss it, and the days after
- A tracker that says the balance, how many days late, which email is next
