My issues as a new designer has been payment. I just started taking clients three months ago and right now I have $540 of unpaid work that I've done for people. Thankfully my work is all watermarked, but that still doesn't exclude the fact that I had put time into this with planning, execution plus revisions made to the project as well.
i literally have the same issue. i started my freelance business this year and clients would flake on me towards the middle or end of the project. im thinking of having them pay an upfront fee.
Hey, Paola, thanks for talking about freelancing. This is something I will be battling with in 2025, can't wait to start! In the meantime I signed up for Contra, let's see if that helps lol. Super shameless plug, but it seems RUclips might not be pushing my content too (very small channel), so if anyone is interested in some logo designs, I have a running challenge right now in December, if you're interested to see. Thanks 🤗
Can you make a video on royalties? I always wondered if I make a design for a company, do I get any money from them putting it on marketing assets? Or if they become a big successful company
Loved this video! I'm currently in Design School and I have been asked to do a few projects for some clients. What are the first steps for the legal & tax stuff that I need to do?

I don’t release final files until the final payment is done! Maybe that’s something you could write into your contract

Depends on your country! Just making sure you are tracking all your income and registered as an independent business you should be good!
