Getting paid is one of the most important steps in running a thriving podcast editing business. How you invoice for your work can have a huge impact on your cash flow and profitability.

Eric Rosenberg shares some best practices when invoicing clients, as a freelancer, and the challenges of balancing your client's needs with our self-employed realities.

While listening, pay particular attention to the importance of strategic invoicing for peace of mind, the various payment models available, and how to leverage technology to automate your invoicing process.

Key moments:

• Invoice clients monthly for consistent cash flow
• For new clients or large projects, consider upfront or milestone payments
• Use an invoicing system to automate the process and save time
• Maintain detailed records for accounting and legal purposes
• Negotiate equitable payment terms with clients
• Clearly define project milestones for phased payments in complex projects
