There’s nothing worse than relying on emails, phone calls, and hope when it comes to delivering work and getting paid as a freelancer. Not only does this spike anxiety (a key pitfall for freelancers), it also creates potential legal and client service issues. When you close a new client and are working on your freelance contract, make sure you do it right.
The fundamental use of a contract is to explain what each party owes to the other. In a freelance relationship, it’s usually one-way – you provide work and the client pays. In the contract, you cover the little details that help if the client gets mad, if you’re treated poorly, or if other circumstances arise outside of the ideal outcome.
