What makes a good invoice?
A good invoice gets you paid faster. It must leave zero doubt about who is billing, who owes, what for, and how much — plus a clear due date. Number every invoice uniquely (INV-001, INV-002…) so you and your client can always reference the same document.
Freelancer invoicing tips
- Invoice promptly — send it the day work is delivered, while the value is fresh in the client's mind.
- State payment terms up front — "due within 14 days" beats an awkward follow-up later.
- Itemize your work — separate lines for design, revisions, and rush fees justify your total far better than one lump sum.
- Follow up politely — a short reminder 3 days after the due date recovers most late payments.
