Elaborating on the "Do you really need a copywriting contract?" presentation, here I address the three things that you absolutely MUST include in your freelance copywriting contract.
While I am not an attorney and this does not constitute legal advice, I have been reading copywriting contracts for a very, very, very long time :) In this time, I've seen some truly spectacular ones and some that leave the copywriter vulnerable to litigation, not getting paid, and other bad things.
So, speaking from experience, here I talk about those three elements that you want to be sure are included in your freelance copywriting contract! Learn how to protect yourself as well as your client.

copywriting contract
2. When will you get paid - and how
much?
- How much is the deposit,
and when is it due?
- When are other payments
due?
- Consider having all the
money on your side of the
table before you submit the
final page.
3. When is a page considered “accepted”
and done?
- You don’t want to wait...and
wait...and wait for feedback.
- Consider giving your client
a set amount of time for
review. After that, the
content is considered
“accepted.”
4. What are you doing for the client?
- Outline your deliverables
carefully.
- This helps to avoid “I
thought this was included in
the price” blues.
5. The BEST advice?
Work with an attorney.
Really.
It will cost less than you
think.
And save your bacon many,
many times over.
