Three Miscellaneous Details of Freelance Writing Income

My name is Chris, and I blog at ChrisBlogging.com. Find out how I made $4,891 last month as a freelance writer. 

A lot of people think of freelance writing income as nothing more than a tally of how much money is earned. And if you do not want to go beyond the basics, this is true. I can tell my readers how much money I earn each month, but if I stopped there, they would never see the finer details.

Here are three finer details that surround my freelance writing income in one way or the other.

1. Even though my PayPal fees are usually in excess of $150/month, the service does wonders for my freelance writing career. In fact, if I could not accept PayPal payments my job would be much more difficult. No, paying their fees is not fun, but it is worth it due to all the time and stress that it saves me.

2. Being a freelance writer means that you are in charge of collecting payments. In the world of freelance writing, this can often times be difficult. If you are dealing with a slow client, make sure that you follow up with them every five days or so. This is not to say that you should hassle them, but you need to stay fresh in their mind. Of course, you should base this on your past dealings with the client. If you trust them and they have paid you in the past, consistent follow ups may not be as necessary.

3. Keep track of the money that is due to you, as well as the money that you receive. This will allow you to stay organized at all times. If you do not track your payments due and payments received, there is a good chance that you will not receive all the money that you worked so hard to earn. Remember, you are running a business, and a huge part of that is keeping track of your payments.

You may never think of these details when you consider how much money can be made through a career in freelance writing. But without these details in mind, it would be much more difficult to succeed.
