5 Ways Freelancers Use OneLinkPay to Get Paid Faster

Why Freelancers Love OneLinkPay

As a freelancer, time is money. The faster you can get paid, the better. OneLinkPay eliminates the wait between completing work and receiving payment. Here are 5 proven ways freelancers use OneLinkPay to accelerate their cash flow.

1. Project Deposits & Upfront Payments

Never start work without payment again. Create a payment link for your project deposit (typically 50% upfront) and send it with your proposal.

Example: "Hi Sarah, excited to work on your website redesign! The total is $3,000. Here's the link to pay the 50% deposit ($1,500) to get started: [payment link]"

Your client clicks, pays, and you start work immediately - no back and forth with invoices or payment instructions.

2. Final Project Payments

When you deliver the final work, include the payment link in your delivery email. Make it effortless for clients to pay you on the spot.

Example: "Project complete! Attached are all the files. The remaining balance is $1,500. You can pay here: [payment link]. Thanks for working with me!"

No waiting for invoices to be processed through accounting departments. Get paid the same day you deliver.

3. Rush Projects & Express Service

Client needs something done urgently? Create a payment link for your rush fee before you start. No rush fee payment, no rush service.

Example: "I can have this done by tomorrow if you pay the $500 rush fee now: [payment link]. I'll start as soon as payment is received."

4. Monthly Retainers & Recurring Work

For retainer clients, send a payment link at the start of each month. Simple, professional, and no chasing invoices.

Example: "Hi John, time for the January retainer. Your monthly fee is $2,000: [payment link]. Let me know this month's priorities!"

5. Additional Scope & Change Requests

Client wants to add features or make changes outside the original scope? Send a payment link for the additional work before starting.

Example: "Happy to add the extra pages you requested! The additional work is $800: [payment link]. I'll add it to the queue once payment is received."
