Get Paid Faster: The Freelancer's Payment Toolkit

If you’ve ever…

• Waited way too long to get paid
• Dreaded sending “just checking in” emails
• Felt unsure about contracts, invoicing, or enforcing payment terms

…this is for you.

This toolkit is designed to help you streamline your entire payment process, so you can stop chasing down late invoices and start running your freelance business with confidence.

Okay, but what's inside?

Contract & Invoice Templates
→ Ready-to-use templates you can adapt to any type of freelance work

20+ Email Templates
→ From onboarding to invoice submission to final demand (if needed)

Platform & Process Guidance
→ Tips on setting up your invoices, choosing a payment platform, and communicating your boundaries early

Client Onboarding Packet Template
→ Start every project on the right foot with clear terms and expectations

Know Your Rights
→ A breakdown of U.S. freelancer protections, both nationally and state-by-state

Who is this for?

• New freelancers who feel overwhelmed by the business side of freelancing
• Experienced freelancers who want to stop winging it with payments
• Anyone tired of Googling “how to follow up on an unpaid invoice” at midnight

This is the resource I wish I had when I was starting out, and I still refer to it now.

Note: I’m not a lawyer, just a freelancer who’s been through it. This toolkit is based on real-world experience, not legal advice. When in doubt, run things by a professional.
