I am a full time middle school computer science teacher for the past 22 years. , but am looking to part time freelance in web site design. Then with some experience, hopefully scale up to early retirement from teaching where I can do some aspect of this working from home. Some questions I still have concern workflow. So once I get some jobs, what should I use to get a signed contract? What should my contract say? What kind of jobs would be suited for a beginner like myself? What do I charge with my experience? Invoicing? etc I just need some guidance to get going. Any info would help. Thanks
I wrote an article that has some beginner info you might find helpful: raddevon.com/articles/get-first-freelance-web-development-job/ There's info in there on a contract and where you might start looking for work. Here's another one specifically about pricing: raddevon.com/articles/the-ultimate-guide-to-pricing-freelance-web-development/ You might like some of my other articles too. Feel free to email me with any other specific questions you have. I'll give you a personalized answer and/or point you to anything I've written that might be useful. devon@raddevon.com
Good question. I set up a recurring invoice recently, but I haven't done recurring payments. Looks like they support it through Stripe though: help.getharvest.com/harvest/invoices-and-estimates/get-started/recurring-invoices/
Exactly what I needed to get my first freelancing client invoiced, thank you!!

Thank you! This is really helpful!
Great tutorial, thanks!

How about reoccurring payments. If we get clients on a monthly plan with ACH type of payment with alerts
