Practical Freelancing Part II: USING CONTRACTS AND INVOICES!
Hi guys! This video is the second in a two part series covering some of the practical aspects of freelance illustration, including:
Finding work, using contracts and getting paid!
We’ve already covered ways of finding clients in the last video, so here it is in case you missed it:
http://bit.ly/1P8Nt7WPART 1: Contracts
- Scope of the work (How many illustrations? What size, what subject, what level of detail?)
- Rights to the work (How will the client be using the illustration? How long can they use it for? Who owns the copyright?)
- Payment (How much will this cost? When will the client pay you? How will they pay you? Will you require a deposit?) (I definitely recommend that you do)
- Project schedule/delivery date (When will the project start? When will the drafts be delivered? When do you need the client’s feedback? When will the finals be delivered?)
- Client responsibilities (What does the client need to give you before the project starts? i.e. signed contract, deposit, reference photos, creative brief)
- Delivery (How will the client receive the work? Digitally? PSD, JPG, PDF? Physically?)
- Number of revisions allowed (How many times will you allow the client to request changes before increasing the price? How much will the price increase with additional revisions?)
- Contingency upon payment clause (Be sure to say that the client will have no right to use the illustration until payment is received in full)
- Kill Fee (In case the project is cancelled after you've already started working on it)
PART 2: Invoices
- Amount due
- Due date (generally 30-45 days after the date of the invoice)
- Amount they’ve paid you already
- Description of what client is paying for
- Directions on how to pay you (Check? Paypal?)
- An invoice number (I use a formula of year+number of the invoice. So for my 35th invoice for 2015 was 201535. This helps with organization, and with sending follow up/reminder emails)
Thanks for watching!

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
