    A client tried to skip out on paying me Even after Net-30 terms + me sending regular reminders I always got a cursory "I'll look into it" It wasn't until I reminded them of late fees in our contract that they sprung to action Freelancers: Put. Late. Fees. In. Your. Contracts.

    Hey founders - do you want more from freelancers you work with? Pay them instantly. Not "on time." As soon as the invoice comes in (or asap after) I can't tell you how much more willing I am to bend over backwards for the clients I have that pay quickly
