Invoicing Tips for Freelancers
As a freelancer, professional invoicing is crucial for getting paid on time and maintaining client relationships. Here are essential tips:
1. Invoice Promptly
Send invoices immediately after completing work or at agreed milestones. The longer you wait, the longer you wait to get paid.
2. Be Clear About Payment Terms
Specify exactly when payment is due (Net 15, Net 30, Due Upon Receipt). Include late payment fees if applicable.
3. Include Detailed Descriptions
Don't just write "Design Work - $500." Specify what you delivered: "Logo design (3 concepts + 2 revisions), final files in AI, PNG, PDF."
4. Use Professional Invoice Numbers
Sequential invoice numbers (INV-001, INV-002) help you track payments and look professional.
5. Make Payment Easy
Accept multiple payment methods: bank transfer, PayPal, credit card, Venmo, etc. The easier you make it, the faster you get paid.
