There’s no better feeling than getting paid. That moment — when you get a notification that your bank account just received an influx of cash — is hard to beat and as a part time web designer the best way to get paid is to implement an effective invoicing and billing system to avoid recurring invoices to clients with hosting mark-up not being sent out on time.

3 Ways to doubled your freelance web designer profits while still working a full-time job:

1) Secure repeat business

Hunting for new clients whether on freelancing websites or elsewhere can be very time consuming, and in some cases, expensive. This is why securing long-term relationships and repeat business from your existing clients is the most important key to successfully freelancing — especially when you already have a full-time job.

Forming this type of relationship with a client is surprisingly easy. Methods include:

• Recurring invoices to clients with hosting mark-up being sent out on time. 
• providing excellent customer service.
• going the extra mile.

What’s more, your long-term clients will happily make it easy for you to gain new ones through referrals.

2) Keep expenses to a minimum

Whether you freelance part-time or full-time, a healthy profit margin is essential to being successful. It won’t matter how many clients you have if your expenses outweigh your revenue.

It can be tempting to purchase attractive products and services to make your freelance career a bit easier, such as Basecamp or a stock photo subscription.

But be careful! These can eat your profits faster than you think, especially as a part-timer.

3. Invoicing and Mark Up

As a freelancer web designer you work hard. You provide a phenomenal product or service, work with your clients to make sure they’re totally satisfied, and when all is said and done, you get paid.

Invoicing is one of the least exciting parts of the freelance web designer. But it has to be done. And if you want things to go smoothly—invoices being received,mark-up being added correctly & paid on time?  Then you need a system.
