Ask What is a common mistake when setting up a freelance invoicing system for the first time?

[Brendan]

Setting up a way to get paid is exciting but many beginners forget to include clear payment terms on their bills. If you do not state exactly when the money is due some clients will take weeks to pay you. It is also important to list the different ways you can receive money so there is no confusion later on. A professional invoice should be simple and easy for anyone to read. What errors did you make when you first started sending out bills for your freelance work?
