How to grow your payments app with copywriters and freelance writers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Copywriters and freelance writers write website pages, blog posts, product descriptions, adverts, newsletters and reports for businesses of every size, and many work for clients in other cities or countries. Some charge per project with a deposit up front, some by the word and some on a monthly retainer for regular content. Waiting 30 days or more for an invoice to be paid is common. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote, an invoice with a pay button and a regular monthly charge can win these writers, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to copywriters
Ask local copywriters and freelance writers:
- How do clients pay a deposit before you start writing today?
- How long do you usually wait for an invoice to be paid?
- How do clients pay for regular monthly content?
- Do you write for clients in other countries, and how do they pay?
Take a deposit with the quote
A deposit link sent with the quote means the writer starts work knowing the client is committed.
Get invoices paid sooner
An invoice with a pay button lets a client pay by card or bank transfer the moment they approve the work, instead of adding it to a payment run weeks later.
Grow through the businesses they write for
Writers work alongside web designers, marketers and small business owners who also need to get paid. One writer on your app can introduce many of them.
