      I just completed my first freelance job. I'm going to drop the drawings off in the morning and the client wants me to type up a bill to show just for record. It took me 5 hours to complete at 30 dollars per hour. I don't know what it should say or look like... I have an idea but I don't want to do something elementary. Does someone have any advice or examples that could help me out?

        Bubba,
        Here is one a simple word format I use on my letterhead. The line items were for a specific project to itemize the final amount.

          I hhey aren't going to pay you up front, but mail you a checkk innstead, you might add a line aad a similar request recently. For what it's worth, here's the format I used. If they aren't going to pay you up front, but mail you a check instead, you might add a line at the bottom stating when payment is due.

              My advise - 'they' get your drawings (and invoice) - 'you' get the cheque - fair exchange.
              The cheque in the post senario is a recipe for disaster (unless you are dealing with a company or corporation, where if they don't pay up you could always go and protest outside their office!!)
              Works for me!
              Regards

                I am going to drop off the drawings at lunch with the invoice attached. He said they're going to have a check waiting for me when I get there but just wanted to have the invoice for billing purposes. Thanks again for your advice... I'm new to this whole scenario but I welcome it with open arms (and wallet πŸ˜„ ). Best wishes! BubbaLove

                PS: You think this works? I copied Daniels (thanks again) invoice...

                    It is the architect font from one of those website from the font topic! The client loved the rendering... thanks again everyone for being so helpful!
