OUGD502 - Freelancing Talk

John gave a small talk on freelancing, and I wrote down a couple of notes:

Invoice

  • Order number
  • Date sent
  • Reference no.
Do payments by bank transfer
Read terms and conditions
Copyright you work

If they don't pay you, email them saying you withhold your copyright and if they use your work you can take them to court 

By having an official order this indicates you're a business and a professional

Always talk by email because it is date and time stamped, and you both have a copy.

Even if you don't sign the contract, the first paycheck you receive indicates you have signed it.
