Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent clients from ghosting me after I deliver the final draft?

The best way to ensure payment is to use a digital invoicing system that allows you to set automated payment reminders and provides a secure portal where clients can pay instantly via credit card before they download the final files.

Is it professional to ask for money upfront before I start writing?

It is more than professional—it is standard practice for high-level copywriters. Using a digital invoice to collect a deposit immediately protects your schedule and ensures the client is financially committed to the project timeline.

What should I do if a client asks for extra revisions not in the original scope?

Digital invoices make it easy to add 'Scope Expansion' or 'Additional Revision' line items. By sending a quick updated invoice for the extra work, you establish a clear boundary that your time is a billable asset, preventing unpaid 'scope creep'.
