Back to Basics – Financial Planning for Freelance Writers

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 08:30:56 +0200

Freelance writers need to plan their finances carefully to ensure that they are financially stable and have a sustainable income. Financial planning involves creating a budget, saving for emergencies and retirement, managing debt, and investing wisely.

Freelance writers have unique financial challenges, such as inconsistent income, irregular work schedules, and self-employment taxes. To overcome these challenges, they need to create a budget that considers their income variability and their business expenses. Freelance writers also need to save for emergencies and retirement by setting aside a percentage of their income regularly.

Fortunately, you’re not the first freelance writer to worry about finances. There are plenty of tried-and-tested financial planning methods to help you grow your business and achieve financial independence.

Financial Planning for Freelance Writers: What to Consider

Emergency Funds

It’s easy to get carried away and buy a few luxury items after landing a high-paying client. However, before you look at new cars or subscription services, ensure that you have an emergency fund in place to protect your financial independence should things go awry.

As a rule of thumb, your emergency fund should cover 3 to 6 months of personal expenses. This should cover your basic needs should you lose a key client or be unable to work. A healthy emergency fund can take the worry out of major purchases, too, as you won’t feel the need to overwork after buying a new car or applying for a mortgage.

You don’t have to form your emergency fund overnight. You can spread your savings over a few months. When work is going well, strive to save 45% of your total earnings. If things are a little dicey, reduce the amount you save to preserve your mental health and well-being.

Budgeting

A clear budget is key to financial independence and stress-free living. Create two budgets when you first start freelancing: one for personal costs and one for business-related costs. Your personal budget should include things like:

Cost of living expenses (rent, food, utilities, etc.)
Personal expenses like clothing and dining out
Savings for major purchases like mortgages and new cars

Give yourself a little wiggle room by increasing your estimated personal expenses by 5%. This will ensure that you always have enough income to pay your bills and support your lifestyle.

Once you have a personal budget, create a business budget by detailing expenses like:

Travel fees
Home office costs (heating, lighting, supplies, etc.)
Training fees for future qualifications
Taxes and accountant fees
Tech upgrades that improve productivity

Don’t cut corners when it comes to business expenses. A good accountant can save you hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars a year. Likewise, a few tech upgrades can boost your productivity and help you negotiate higher fees in the future.

LLC and Asset Protection

Many self-employed freelance writers choose to become a limited liability company (LLC). Starting an LLC can help you separate your business income from your personal assets to reduce financial risk in the event of lawsuits or a court case.

You’ll have to file in the right state and should hire a professional agent to guide you through the process. You can’t afford to make mistakes when setting up your business, as missing documents can lead to financial penalties that undermine your hard work.

Forming an LLC also forces you to take your operations a little more seriously. This can be a good time to come up with a more robust financial plan, as you’ll need to know how profits and losses are distributed before becoming an LLC.

Benefits and Insurance

Millions of Americans stay in their jobs for a simple reason: benefits and health insurance. As a freelancer, you don’t have a business to pay for these expenses and may be at risk if you fall ill or are the victim of an accident.

Finding the right benefits package can be tricky. You need to find a coverage plan that is affordable but covers costs that you are more likely to face. Health insurance is no longer legally required at the federal level, but some states may impose penalties if you do not purchase coverage. Check out our article on health insurance for freelance writers to see your options.

Remember to account for life insurance, too. Life insurance protects your family should something happen to you and can help you live freely without fearing the worst. Use a life insurance calculator to see how much your policy could be worth and be sure to account for things like:

Retirement savings
Assets
Annual income
Existing policies

A robust benefits package can reduce your taxes and improve your quality of life, too. Work with a registered accountant to figure out which expenses or benefits are tax-deductible and use the funds you square away for benefits to improve your health and wellness.

Start taking care of your finances today

Freelancing is a great way to earn a fair wage while working for yourself. However, to achieve financial security, you need to save far more than you spend. Put aside some income for an emergency fund and create a budget that accounts for personal and business expenses. Work with financial experts as your business grows, as a licensed accountant can save you plenty of financial headaches in the long run.

Let’s Talk Health Insurance for Freelance Writers

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 04:57:43 +0200

Adulting time, folks. Insurance is one of the more complicated aspects of freelancing. But, especially for those who travel as they work (#workanywhere), health insurance is a must-have. So, let’s talk health insurance for freelancers.

Allow me to share an experience I had about 13 years ago. I had just left my full-time corporate job to go freelance full-time. I lost many benefits, one of them being a health insurance plan. Naively, I didn’t get my own policy because:

I was healthy. I wouldn’t get really sick.
Private health insurance policies were (are) expensive.

A year or so into full-time freelancing, I found myself at the hospital thanks to severe acute pancreatitis (yeah, go look that up). It was the worst pain I ever felt. And when I got out about two weeks later…talk about adding salt to the wound…a whopper of a medical bill. I was in debt for a while because of that.

All this to say—health insurance can be a lifesaver.

The thing is, there really aren’t a lot of options for health insurance for freelancers.

That’s why, when the guys at SafetyWing reached out, I thought it worth sharing with you. After all, I wouldn’t be surprised if you encounter the same issues I have had with health insurance (not the pancreatitis part).

SafetyWing has this plan “Remote Health – Affinity Plan,” which might be the thing you’re looking for. In brief, this plan’s features are:

Members can go to any hospital or doctor in the world (private and public)
Free 24/7 customer service — with an NPS of 70 (10x the industry standard)
Medical History Disregarded for anyone joining the plan
Coverage includes $1.5M USD for hospital charges per policy year (amongst many more benefits)
Members are covered while traveling (business and pleasure)

How can you take advantage of this?

As a member of the FWJ community, you can sign up for their global health insurance plan at a discounted rate of up to 40% off the regular price.

With SafetyWing, you have access to any hospital or doctor in the world, both private and public. And if you ever have any questions or concerns, our free 24/7 customer service team is here to help, with an NPS (net promoter score) of 70, which is 10x the industry standard.

We understand that many freelance writers may have had trouble obtaining health insurance in the past, which is why we offer a plan that disregards your medical history. And with coverage of up to $1.5M USD for hospital charges per policy year, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re protected no matter where your work takes you. Plus, members are covered while traveling for both business and pleasure.

Don’t let being a freelance writer hold you back from obtaining the health insurance coverage you need. Sign up for SafetyWing today and take advantage of the exclusive discounted rate for FWJ community members. Protect yourself and your career with SafetyWing.

Get in touch with them at www.safetywing.com.

P.S. We are not getting compensated for this. We just think that you might find this health insurance option useful.

Lucrative Freelance Writing Services You Can Offer Clients in 2023

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 06:12:23 +0200

Freelance writing is one of the most favored freelance jobs in the world. It is a job that you can learn by self-studying and exercising. You can even build writing skills from ground zero by reading articles, joining webinars, and practicing regularly.

A whopping 82% of freelancers in the US are writers. From that percentage, 24% generate more than $50,000 yearly income. Many people are so so enamored with this staggering number that they think about giving it a shot.

If you’re one of them, this article helps you explore the most lucrative freelance writing services to try. Besides, discover some of the best niches you can master for aiming high salary.

High-Paying Writing Services

Being a freelance writer can be a full-time income for you. With flexible working hours and regulations, the great thing is that you can reach out to potential clients all around the world.

JasperAI

Not to mention that AI tools like JasperAI, CopyAI, Rytr, and WriterSonic can speed up your job by helping generate ideas and creating outlines, you name it.

Here are popular, lucrative freelance writing services you can offer in 2023.

1. Ad Copywriting

Estimated fee: $25 to $80 hourly

As the name suggests, ad copywriting is a writing service intended for advertisement. You can promote products by creating compelling stories, mentioning benefits, telling how a product works, stating winning features, and more.

You can work on creating display ads, billboards, flyers, mobile ads, social ads, and other promotional materials. This type of copywriting requires you to make short copies that include powerful CTA to attract customers.

2. Social Media Content Writing

Estimated fee: $30 to $75 hourly

When you’re a social media content writer, you write Instagram captions, YouTube descriptions, long LinkedIn posts, etc.

Since the social media field is crowded and users’ attention spans can’t stop shrinking, you have to be flexible and creative. It’s also essential to research related information, including a brand’s target audience, persona, goals, and products, to decide your tone.

Bear in mind that no social media platform is created the same. It means that different platforms require a slightly different writing style. If you write for Instagram or TikTok captions, keep your copy short, between 138 to 150 characters. However, longer posts for LinkedIn need you to write around 210 characters. On top of that, always include CTA to power your copy.

3. Email Newsletter

Estimated fee: $82 per hour or $2 per word on average

An email newsletter is a business email created and sent to a list of subscribers. The key is to maintain engagement and relationships with potential buyers or clients. Typically, businesses deliver email newsletters weekly or monthly.

Medium

Email newsletters require you to keep your copy short and sweet while still visually appealing. Make sure that every copy is valuable to readers to generate high open and replay rates.

Typically, you use an email newsletter tool. For example, you can go to Canva or Sendinblue to choose your email newsletter design. Then, continue with creating the layout with visuals and incorporating your content.

Also, consider the size of your design. You can customize the size according to your client’s request. Or, follow the general rule to use 600-800 pixels wide.

4. Content Editing and Proofreading

Estimated fee: $13-$16 per 1000 words

Content editing and proofreading are two popular freelance writing jobs you can find online. However, the two have different work requirements. In a nutshell, proofreading is surface-level checking, while content editing is more in-depth work.

If you offer a proofreading service, attention to detail is essential as you will look for and correct misspellings, incorrect punctuation, formatting inconsistencies, or other technical mistakes and errors.

Meanwhile, content editing goes beyond those. You must check on the overall quality of a text. It includes reviewing the writing flow, checking facts, reflecting on a brand voice, and improving readability to generate powerful content.

5. On-Page Search Engine Optimization

Estimated fee: $60 – $650 per 500 words

Today, a website without robust on-page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) won’t thrive in cyberspace. However, not all writers have the skills to do SEO.

Image via reliablesoft.net

You can offer an on-page SEO service for businesses to boost their website ranking across search engines. This service needs you to optimize the content, HTML source code, keyword placements, header tag optimizations, blog post introductions, and more.

Freelance jobs related to on-page SEO will keep rising in the next few years. It can be a profitable freelance job if you have good records from your existing clients. You can show your achievement and clients’ reviews on your service page to make more deals.

6. Ghostwriting Books or Whitepapers

Estimated fee: $30 to $200 hourly or $5,000 to $100,000 per project

Another lucrative freelance writing you can try is ghostwriting books or ebooks. Many businesses hire freelance ghostwriters to do the job since writing a book may take a while to finish.

A ghostwriter doesn’t receive credit after completing the job. Still, they get the fee, while the credit for the author goes to the person who hires them.

Image source

Furthermore, white paper writer services focus on creating in-depth reports on particular topics that cover an industry or business problem-solving topic. You must have keen eyes to develop well-structured reports supported by facts and evidence.

Highest-Paying Niches for Freelance Writers

Now that you understand some high-paying writing jobs that earn a respectable income, the question would be:

“What topics should I cover to generate good income from freelance writing?”

There are specific topics for a more targeted audience that can give you a good income. We’ve picked five fields you can work on to generate revenue from freelance writing.

1. Digital Marketing

The digital marketing realm is vast. Many website owners, business owners, and marketers talk about digital marketing topics on their websites. There are many branches of digital marketing practice that you can cover to provide specific topics.

Stay alert to the latest digital marketing trends to appeal more strongly to potential clients. You can write about:

Social media marketing
Video marketing
Email marketing
eCommerce marketing, etc.

Ensure you have good knowledge about many aspects of digital marketing, including crucial metrics like web traffic sources, page views, cost per lead, conversion rates, click-through rates, and more.

2. SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has been a much-discussed topic for years. As the search engine algorithm ever changes, SEO practices are dynamic. There will be more trends coming up, and many writers will try to explain each of them on their sites.

Comprehending the nitty-gritty of SEO practices as a freelance writer will benefit you in the future. You can find many freelance job opportunities with considerable fees. You may also get loyal clients that want you to keep writing for them. Just make sure you stay informed about the latest SEO trends.

3. Cryptocurrency

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have a solid, ardent audience base. However, the complex nature of cryptocurrency makes it hard for anyone to write about the topic.

With fewer competitors, you have a more significant opportunity to get more clients that want to cover cryptocurrencies. You may also need to be knowledgeable about blockchain as it is highly related to crypto.

4. Tech

Technology is growing exponentially. The trends change in a blink of an eye. People will always seek the latest news about technology in any industry field. It can be an evergreen topic for writers.

Last year we were talking about NFT, and now Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies are the most popular ones.

You can read the latest news, reports, journals, and articles relating to tech to equip yourself well. Even though you’re not tech-savvy, you can write about tech topics and offer your writing skills to hires.

5. Health

Health is an essential investment for people. This topic is highly in-demand, especially since the pandemic struck. Many will seek health news and articles related to their health conditions.

You can cover healthy foods, exercises, healthcare services, products, lifestyles, treatments, etc. You may also broaden the scoop by covering animal health. As healthcare articles must be accurate, you must refer to credible sources like journals and healthcare websites.

However, make sure to always check the facts and conduct research from reliable sources. Sources you use to write should provide information that is consistent with the best scientific evidence.

Your next steps

Freelance writing is still one of the most highly requested jobs today. So improving your writing skills and expanding your knowledge on various topics will do more good than harm to your writing career.

The above discussions are some of the most lucrative freelance writing services you can try this year. The fees stated on each point are only an estimate. It can differ according to your skill level, the topics discussed, and the countries you live in.

What to Do If Clients Are Not Paying You Right Now + 5 Common Scenarios

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 17:00:26 +0200

Clients who don’t pay are nothing new. Even without a crisis, we have encountered at least one client who knows all the delaying tactics in the world when it comes to paying for work we’ve done. And then there are those who don’t pay up at all.

In this time of crisis, the problem is even more pronounced. Clients are likely facing financial issues themselves, and while we sympathize—we are truly in the same boat—we also need to keep food on the table.

So what do you do if clients are not paying you right now?

Do not panic. Again, you are not alone in this situation. In early April 2020, the action of luxury fitness company Equinox hit the news, as they decided to freeze all invoices for contractors, vendors, and freelancers. And it’s not the only one. The sad thing is that the first to take the hit are freelancers, as they have less protection than regular employees. And even those who are owed money from work performed before the pandemic hit are suffering.

We’re deeper into the crisis today, and there’s really nothing we can do about it in general. We can, however, take concrete steps to get what we are owed.

Explore 1600+ online courses from top universities. Join Coursera today to learn data science, programming, business strategy, and more.

Before we proceed, let’s make a distinction between regular, trusted clients and relatively new ones. The former will likely not stiff you, while there is less certainty with the latter. You would have a strong relationship with your regular clients and chances are you communicate openly. As such, continue to do so. If your payment has been delayed, don’t hesitate to get in touch but also give them breathing space.

For clients with whom you have little or no history, then you will have to be more proactive.

What to Do If Clients Are Not Paying You

1. Speak up

If, for some reason, you feel hesitant to ask to get paid, DON’T. That money is yours, and if you don’t say anything, then you’re doing yourself a disservice.

One thing to remember is to always leave a paper trail – or, electronic trail.

Email is still the best way to do this, or if you use PayPal, create and send the invoice via the system. Depending on where you’re located, you have protection as a freelancer. For example, in New York, freelancers must be paid within 30 days from the day the service was rendered. If you live in the state, read the Freelance Isn’t Free Act for more information. As long as you have a legitimate contract, the client owes you money, and the law requires that you get paid. Don’t hesitate to bring this up when communicating with the client. Of course, do it politely.

2. Negotiate

As we said, we sympathize with everyone. We’re all facing troubled times, and many don’t have the cash. So, if the client says they can’t afford to pay you, try the negotiation route. They might not be able to afford to pay you in full, but perhaps you can agree on a percentage to be paid immediately and the rest at a later date.

What if the client still does not pay after a follow-up or two?

You might get the run-around, or worse, you might not hear back at all. If you’ve tried getting in touch several times, to no avail, then it’s time to tighten the screws. First, send an email with firmer, more assertive language, highlighting why you should get paid – basically a more aggressive version of your previous emails. If still nothing, then don’t hesitate to give an ultimatum. As harsh and unpleasant as it may be, you might have to resort to taking legal action—and make sure you include that in your communication.

Reach out to fellow freelancers

Ask for help. Work alone we may, but there are many of us. And in the United States, there is an organization specifically for us. Visit Freelancers Union, and see how they can help you. Check your local consumer affairs or business bureau. They may have resources to help you out as well.

Now, let us look at some (specific) common scenarios of clients not paying invoices and what we can do when these happen.

What To Do When Clients Don’t Pay Their Invoices – 5 Common Scenarios

Consider this:

Invoices are generally paid six days late
20% of invoices are paid late for more than two weeks
33% of invoices are late for more than a month

When you combine this with the fact that most businesses fail due to cash flow issues, you quickly realize how frightening late or unpaid invoices can be.

There are several common reasons why your invoice wasn’t—or won’t be—paid on time. Perhaps you’ve noticed some of the common signs before with clients:

Sparse communication
General disorganization
Complaints about your rates
Avoiding/postponing discussion of payment terms

To help you combat unpaid invoices, here is a list of the most common reasons a client may be late on an invoice, along with tailored solutions and forward-thinking tips for implementing preventative measures in the future.

Problem #1: The client lost the invoice

Surprisingly, this scenario is fairly common—often referred to as the “Vanilla Scam”. Every business has at least one client that just can’t keep their records straight or is stuck in their antiquated ways of record keeping. So when the payment due date finally arrives, the client replies that they’ve lost your invoice.

Fortunately, this is one of the easiest scenarios to address.

Solution: Use free invoice software or apps

When you’re working with your more disorganized clients, it’s imperative that you be as meticulous as possible with bookkeeping. You must prepare for the possibility of your computer crashing, or your clients losing their invoices in the shuffle.

That’s why we recommend that you always use a cloud-based invoicing system to streamline the invoice development process and maintain a database of previous records. There are plenty of free apps and software to help you create, send, and store invoices.

No matter what happens to your laptop, emails, or mobile device, your digital records are stored safely. Many apps also include a ‘Reminder’ function that allows you to send another copy via email or SMS with the tap of a button. So no matter how disorganized your client may be, locating the invoice and sending another copy will no longer be a hassle.

Problem #2: You didn’t sign a contract

For many freelancers and small businesses, a new project with a client usually begins with an informal agreement. Although some clients may be held to the ‘honor code’, this leaves you at risk of a client disputing or delaying your invoice with the “you didn’t sign a contract” excuse.

Solution A: Copyright your work/ do not deliver the entire project

If there was no written agreement and you’re having trouble collecting payment after the invoice was sent, you might need to get creative. If your work involves something you can copyright or patent, do so immediately. This will provide you with huge leverage in ensuring you get paid, even without a contract.

Whether or not you own the copyright to the work largely depends on the agreement or contract between you and the client. If the contract stipulates that the project is a “work made for hire,” then it is the client who owns the work. However, if this is not the case, then you have the right to assign the copyright once agreed-upon terms (payment of the contract) have been met.

If it’s not possible to copyright any of the work you’ve done, then you should hold the final deliverables until the payment is made. This is a common practice for freelance designers and web developers. Most will send a preview of a final design or hold the project on their own development server and wait to release the final assets until the project has been paid for.

Solution B: Take the client to court

As a last resort, you can take the client to court. Contrary to popular belief, many verbal agreements can still be considered legally binding if the right evidence is in place. Collect all the information (such as emails) you have regarding the work and the agreed-upon price, and be prepared to argue your case. Usually, the client will want to avoid a case and simply pay you before the matter escalates.

Solution C: Begin using estimates

You can also take a pre-step to a formal contract by having the client sign an estimate of the project scope and price first. This way, you have further proof that the client did, in fact, agree to the work, even if a clear contract wasn’t involved.

To be clear, this is one of the toughest scenarios for businesses to overcome, but the ultimate solution to this problem is to use a contract in all future projects. If possible, have an attorney draft a contract specific to your products or services and begin using it immediately.

Problem #3: You’re in a dispute over the project

Disputes often occur because the client is likely either unhappy with the finished product or feels like they are being overcharged based on the quality of the work.

Solution: Break down the project into smaller items

In our experience, disputes are usually over a specific portion of the work you’ve done, not the entire project. That’s why we find that it’s easiest to itemize the project into smaller deliverables and assign a cost to each one. Then you can ask your client to narrow down what exactly they are unhappy about.

For example, if you’re a freelance web designer and have designed a full website, your client might be unhappy with how the logo looks. Ask that they pay for the portions of the work they’re happy with. Then, you can re-negotiate and re-work the other sections.

To prevent this type of dispute in the future, we again recommend that sign a contract before beginning any work. If the budget is large, you might even consider asking for a deposit upfront. While a deposit won’t necessarily protect you against the entire sum on an unpaid invoice, it will help give you some leverage and also allow you to gauge how serious the business is with its finances.

Problem #4: The client doesn’t have the money

It’s not uncommon for a client to accept work and not have the means to pay for it. There are many reasons this might happen:

The client also has a client. They’ve outsourced work to you, are waiting to be paid by their own client, and don’t have the funds to front the bill in the meantime.
Sales are down. The client runs a business, and slow sales have thrown a wrench into their plans and made it difficult for them to pay others.
They have unforeseen expenses. Unexpected circumstances can come from any direction and thwart a client’s ability to pay their invoices and other expenses.

Despite what might be happening with the client, an unpaid invoice is inexcusable. Any responsible business will have enough cash in the bank to cover emergencies and slow sales. It’s okay to be patient while they gather their resources and work out any internal issues, but you should never wait indefinitely.

Solution A: Negotiate a payment plan

While you must always make sure that you don’t get taken advantage of, it’s important to acknowledge that sometimes clients run into unexpected circumstances. If a client notifies you that they have run into financial difficulties and you trust them (maybe they are a longtime client), it might be time to negotiate a payment plan.

This shows that you are flexible and considerate of your client’s current financial hardship, but also provides a structure for you to still be compensated for your work. Work out an agreement on a realistic payment plan that your client believes they can meet and that you think is fair, and sign an updated contract with those terms.

Solution B: Send a collection letter

You have the right to be compensated, and there’s nothing wrong with taking action to do so – especially if you have no prior relationship with this client. After a month of non-payment (or if they did not follow the payment plan), reach out to the client one last time to remind them of the contract or agreed-upon terms.

If you still do not receive payment, then you should send a collection letter. A collection letter – aka a demand letter or past-due letter – is a formal communication used to notify a client of a late invoice and urge them to settle the debt. Collection letters are usually sent at the 30, 60, and even 90-day marks, with each getting progressively sterner in their language. While it may seem arduous and ineffective, following this process will help to further build your case against the client if a dispute goes to court. The record of collection letters will show that you gave the client ample time to settle their invoice.

If they still aren’t paying the invoice after the collection letter has expired, request a phone call or in-person meeting to settle the matter more intimately. If phone calls and emails don’t work, give them a final warning before taking legal action.

Problem #5: The client has stopped responding

So you’re dealing with a client who has seemingly decided to cut off all communication. They aren’t responding to your calls or emails, despite several attempts to reach out to them. Maybe you’ve already sent out your collection letters, attempted phone calls, or taken steps to settle a dispute—all to no avail.

Solution: Send a warning letter and take legal action

At this point, the client has left you no choice – it’s time to craft a warning letter. Let the client know you will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Depending on the amount of the invoice, inform them that you will be proceeding to small claims court and filing a breach of contract (if you had a contract).

Most of the cases that reach small claims court are over unsettled disputes, and 60 percent of people who are unpaid win those small court cases, according to NOLO. Only 20 percent of defendants win cases involving unpaid invoices, while the other 20 percent belong to plaintiffs who receive less than the desired amount.

Conclusion

Moving forward, it’s important that you do your due diligence before working with any client. Conduct your own research to ensure you’re dealing with a well-funded company that doesn’t have any record of mistreatment toward their customers or staff.

If you can locate the organization’s previous clients, reach out to them to ask about company culture and their previous experience with that particular business. Most people would be happy to help another person avoid a potential crisis if they experienced trouble themselves. Always stay away from businesses with bad online reputations. It’s impossible to account for all situations and types of clients, but if you follow the solutions outlined above for the most common scenarios, you will most certainly notice a reduction in the rate of late or unpaid invoices.
