Freelancing 101: a guide from first client to getting paid

Everything you need to run a freelance business, in the order you'll need it: setting up, winning clients, doing the work well and getting paid on time.

Stage 1

Set up your business

Sort out the basics before your first client: what you'll charge, the tools you'll use and how you'll run the admin.

Stage 2

Win clients

Keep work coming in, write proposals people read, and agree the terms before you start.

Stage 3

Do the work well

Start each client relationship right, protect your focus and your scope, and keep the week under control.

Stage 4

Get paid

Bill every hour, invoice without mistakes, and get paid on time, in any currency.
