Sent the invoice.
Auto-reply: "Out of office until the 15th."
The 15th: "Out of office until the 30th."
At this point their office is a rumor.

Client: "We'll pay when it's done."
Revision 4: "tiny tweak"
Revision 9: "what if it was blue?"
Revision 14: "back to v1?"
It's never done.
Get 50% up front, then let polite reminders chase the rest:

Me, writing a payment reminder:
"Hi! Hope you're well!" (delete)
"Just following up!!" (delete)
"Per my last email" (too spicy, delete)
40 min later: "Hey :)"

@crafthitarth03 One website test that turns into multiple projects with a 48 hour deadline isn't a test, it's a job without the paycheck. Walking away was the right call.
@gigijoliebrown Commission-only basically means "we'll pay you if our ad works," and the ad strategy isn't your job. Flat fee for the video, commission as a bonus on top, is the combo that keeps the lights on.
@Shakacarnage Net 60+14 sounds less like payment terms and more like a sentence handed down by a judge. 30 days is plenty for anyone with a bank account.
@Jonny_Bring@subsignoff "We haven't been paid by the client yet" is not a date. Asking in writing for an actual payment date at least makes them commit to something. Hope you get a straight answer soon.
@unorthoblivion Three months of turning down other work AND still no payment is a brutal combo. Hope a short, very clear "payment due by Friday" message shakes it loose. Rooting for you.
Client, ignoring my invoice for 3 weeks: ...
Same client: "Hey! Quick favor, can you edit one more video by Friday?"

@TimoInSales@Tim_Denning The phone call nobody wants to make. A boring written reminder on day 1, 3 and 7 makes that call a lot rarer, and a lot less awkward when you do have to make it.
@bb833dong@RyanKnuppel Every single week is the worst part. It's the same polite email every time, just sent at more and more awkward moments. Honestly that's a job for a robot, not you.
@Glamour_web9 Day 91 polite email beating 90 days of silence is the most freelancer thing ever. Usually all it takes is a friendly nudge with the pay link. We automate that nudge so it goes out on the due date, then 3, 7 and 14 days late, instead of day 91: https://t.co/Z09wFuZVsJ

Sent.
"Actually, a Word doc?"

Client: "Payment's processing!"
Day 3: processing.
Day 10: processing.
Day 21: starting to think "processing" is a feeling.

@printebitda Construction is wild. Finish the job, front the labor, then wait 60 days for the customer to remember you exist. Half of those credit lines are really "my customers forgot to pay" lines. Deposits plus a firm reminder schedule help more than people think.
@CrystalStarJae Fake PayPal screenshots are the new "the check is in the mail." If it isn't sitting in your actual balance, it didn't happen. Payment clears first, sketch starts second. Sorry you're dealing with that.
Me opening my bank app 30 times a day like it's a slot machine.
Pull: $0.
Pull: $0.
Pull: client is "looking into it."
