I abandoned freelancing/moonlighting over collection issues. Including one client that I was basically 40 hours a week who didn't pay for six months, just like OP.
If I ever start again, I hope to be more diligent.
Always worth watching: https://vimeo.com/22053820 https://vimeo.com/22053820 featured on Reddit's /u/freelancing, poetic symbolic title F*ck You, Pay Me.
If you are freelancing, watch it once a week.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoYou went six months at 40 hours a week without collecting anything at all?
- wila 5y agoUsually this goes with paying some, but not all. There's always an excuse and they promise to pay more soon. Most likely it is even a valid excuse. The problem is that the bill runs up over time and you end up deeper and deeper. These customers tend to be super nice. I still don't hate the customer that teached me how this works, but I did have to engage a lawyer and that's one thing I never want to go through again.
- JJMcJ 5y agoYes, eventually 100% of the money came through. I was naive and just starting out then. Today I would never put up with something like that.
