How to Get Paid on Time Everytime

HOW TO GET PAID ON TIME EVERYTIME

TAKE DEPOSITS, USE MILESTONES

MILESTONES
Break down your project into milestones that align with the deliverables. Here's an example:

• Deposit
• Completed Wireframes
• Completed Ul Designs
• Completed Webflow Integration

THE GOAL
Each payment should be a 'pre-payment' for the next milestone.
Remember, the goal is NOT to get as much money from the client as soon as possible. The goal is to de-risk yourself, so you never end up doing work that doesn't get paid for.

SET UP %S

• Deposit - $10,000 (prepaid for wireframes)
• Completed Wireframes (100hrs) - $20,000
• Completed Ul Designs (200hrs) - $15,000
• Completed Webflow (150hrs) - No payment

Realise how the last milestone requires no payment? because it's prepaid already!

THE BENEFITS

• You will NEVER do ANY work that doesn't get paid for, because it's prepaid.
• You hold leverage in the process, because you don't start the next stage until you're paid.
• You stay motivated during the entire process, being paid too much, too early can actually have a negative impact on your motivation.

REMEMBER IT'S NOT ABbUT GETTING AS MUCH $ ASAP

IT'S ABOUT DE-RISKING YOURSELF

BE FAIR NOT GRÉEDY
