If you’re a freelancer like me, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with clients who don’t pay you on time. You’ve done your work, you’ve delivered your results, and you’ve sent your invoice. But your client is either too busy, too forgetful, or too stingy to pay you what you deserve. You don’t want to ruin your relationship with your client, but you also don’t want to let them take advantage of you. So, what can you do?

Well, you could send them a boring and formal reminder email, like everyone else does. Or, you could try something different and use a bit of humor to get your point across. Humor can be a powerful tool to communicate with your client, without being too aggressive or rude. It can also make your client feel more comfortable and friendly with you, and maybe even guilt them into paying you faster.

In this story, I’m going to share with you three hilarious tricks that I use to remind my clients to pay me on time. These tricks have worked for me in the past, and they might work for you too. But be careful, not every client has the same sense of humor, and you don’t want to offend or annoy them. So, use these tricks with caution and discretion, and always adapt them to your situation and your client’s profile.
