Paid on Time Kit
Get paid without the chase.
Four reminder scripts that go from friendly to final, polite late-fee language, deposit wording that holds, and the awkward situations handled — quiet clients, part-payments, friends. Plus a fillable invoice tracker so nothing slips. For freelancers who would rather stay calm than stay quiet.
What's Included
- Four reminder scripts — friendly, firm, formal, and final, so the second email is already written when you need it.
- Late-fee language — polite terms you can add without sounding like a threat.
- Deposit wording — payment-up-front phrasing that holds, for new clients and bigger projects.
- The awkward situations — quiet clients, part-payments, and friends who hire you, each with a script.
- Invoice tracker — a fillable page that shows what's sent, paid, and overdue at a glance.
Who is This For
Ideal for solo freelance designers, writers, illustrators, photographers, content creators, and independent makers who have ever opened an invoice thread twice, then closed it without sending anything.
