Client Communication

As a freelancer, your clients are your lifeline. Keeping open and regular communication with them is critical for success. This may involve responding to emails, phone calls, or messages from clients, as well as providing regular updates on your progress. You may also need to communicate with your clients to discuss changes in the scope of work, resolve any issues, or negotiate contracts and payments.

Delivering Work

Invoicing and Bookkeeping

Billing your clients and bookkeeping are essential tasks for any freelancer.
