Get the template →A plain-English service agreement covering scope, fees, revisions, ownership, and late payments. Copy and adapt.
Get the template →The same clean invoice, pre-filled with the line items your trade actually bills for:
Take a deposit (30-50%) to hold the date, and show the remaining balance due on the final invoice.
Open →Bill milestones (deposit, mid-project, on launch) instead of one lump sum at the end - it smooths cash flow and reduces risk.
Open →Spell out how many revision rounds are included; bill extra rounds as their own line.
Open →For ongoing work, a monthly retainer invoice beats chasing hours - predictable for you and the client.
Open →Bill per project or per word, not per hour - clients understand deliverables better than your typing speed.
Open →For regular clients, set up a recurring invoice so the same bill goes out automatically each cycle.
Open →Track your hours as you go so the invoice writes itself at month-end - and clients trust an itemized total.
Open →Separate labor from materials, and invoice in stages (deposit, progress, final) on bigger jobs to protect your cash flow.
Open →Sell sessions in prepaid packages - you get paid up front and students are more likely to show up.
Open →Bill session packs up front and use recurring invoices for monthly clients so you're never chasing payment between sessions.
Open →Take a deposit before the shoot and bill the balance on delivery of the final edit.
Open →Put the recurring retainer on an automatic monthly invoice and add one-off projects as separate lines.
Open →GigPaper turns these into a link your client signs and pays — no account, e-signed, timestamped. 30 days free.
