It just seems some people take that as a suggestion rather than a requirement. And I'm loathe to start charging interest when they're late. It's even more maddening when they paid the deposit by credit card. I'm thinking about writing into the terms that if they don't remit payment in another format, the card will be charged on that 15th day. But I probably need to check with the lawyers first.

Make sure that it's very clear on the invoice itself, and reiterate in the email that goes along with the invoice. People will take as long as you give them. I do 15 days.

Good in principle, sucks in reality. I learned that the hard way. In fact, on Friday I removed all the Contribute code for a client's site that I designed in 2005. Yup, Contribute does indeed suck.

I tend to have a few large projects as well. If I were to do this again, I would consider tracking money earned instead. Because too, there's always the issue of getting clients to pay on time. But it's always a learning experience! Thanks Laura. I tend to have a few large projects as well. If I were to do this again, I would consider tracking money earned instead.

I have just been reading over your entries, it's great to see your daily progress! This should be a good motivator for me to read. I like to track my income goals weekly or monthly since by the nature of my business money doesn't come in every single day. (I have a few large projects instead of many small projects.)
