Everyone keeps asking how to price projects, when to get paid, and whether to sign a contract.
Here’s the formula I recommend after closing multiple deals:
👉 30-30-40
💸 30% upfront – easy for the client to commit
⚙️ 30% mid-project – keeps cash flow alive and reassures the client that real progress is happening
🚀 40% after completion – shows confidence in your delivery
It works way better than 50/50 — clients say yes faster, and you still get more than half before the project ends.
