Written by The problem: Mentors chasing payments
Even after the work is delivered, payment can stall because the next step is unclear (invoice, approvals, finance queue, international transfer, etc.). The result is the same: you spend time following up instead of doing more billable work.
Why traditional invoicing slows you down
- Invoices look like paperwork, not an action
- Clients need internal approvals (and your invoice gets stuck)
- International clients add extra steps and fees
- Small projects shouldn’t require heavy accounting setup
A simpler workflow: payment requests
- Finish the work
- Create a payment request
- Send the link
- Client pays
Example workflow (copy/paste)
