Be your freelancer’s invoice champion
A regularly paid freelancer is a loyal freelancer, so clear the path for them to get paid!
This is the next post in my series on working with freelance copywriters. Check out the previous post here.
“I can’t believe that we’re messing up your payments this badly, Julia. I am SO sorry.”
This is what one of my clients, a marketing director at a global consulting firm instantly recognizable to anyone in the tech world, said to me over and over.
This is also where many clients fail their freelance copywriters. Making it easy to get paid and also regularly paying freelancers will get you the undying love and loyalty of any freelancer, guaranteed. So why do so many clients mess this up?
In the case of the giant global tech consulting firm who always paid my invoices 2–3 months late, my client and I had to game the system to ensure that I had money coming in. But we shouldn’t have had to do that.
Paying your freelancers should be easy.
Here’s how you can become the hero in your freelancer’s life.
