<b>The 50/50 Invoicing System for UGC</b>

<b>The 50/50 Invoicing System for UGC</b>
Chasing payment after delivery is the most avoidable problem in this business. Adopt one billing structure and never deviate.

— Deposit: 50% before any work. Cleared = job starts.
— Balance: 50% on delivery of v1, due before final files release.
— Final files (raw + clean) released only after balance clears.
— Net terms: 7 days max. No "net 30" for solo creators.
— Late fee clause: 5% after 7 days, stated on the invoice.

Every invoice includes: scope line, usage term, revision policy, due date.

Save this as your invoice template with the clauses pre-filled. The structure protects you so you don't have to chase. Standardize it and rinse and repeat.
