the freelance email that took me 45 minutes to write:
"Hi, just following up on the invoice I sent last week!"
that's it. that's the whole story. something about asking for your own money makes your brain go completely blank. like suddenly you forget every word you've ever known.
anyway. if this is you, you're not bad at freelancing. you're just bad at the part nobody taught you.
which email do you avoid writing the longest? the deposit ask or the late invoice follow-up? be honest
