Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I require an upfront deposit for copywriting projects?
Collecting an upfront deposit—typically 50%—secures the project on your calendar, covers your initial research time, and ensures the client is financially committed to the process.
How do I handle clients who request extra work not listed in the estimate?
Use a 'Change Order' clause in your estimate stating that any work outside the original scope will be billed at a standard hourly rate or require a separate project fee.
How can I turn a simple estimate into a legally binding agreement?
Include a section for digital signatures and a link to your standard Terms of Service so that the estimate becomes a contract the moment the client clicks 'Approve'.
