What to include on a Copywriter invoice
Your invoice needs to spell out exactly what you wrote. If you charged by the word, show the word count. If you charged by the project, name the deliverables: three blog posts, five email sequences, one landing page. Include the project name or campaign so their accounting team can match it to their purchase order. Add your invoice number, date, and payment due date. If you worked with an agency, reference their job number.
Most copywriters ask for 50% upfront before starting work. Bill the remainder when you deliver the final draft or after one round of revisions, depending on what you agreed to. Net 30 is standard for corporate clients, but you can ask for Net 15 if you have the leverage. Agencies often pay slower than direct clients, sometimes Net 60.
Send your invoice the moment you deliver the work, not days later when you remember. Clients process payments in batches, and if you miss their cycle, you wait another month. Also, be clear about what revisions cost extra. If the scope creeps and you don't invoice for additional rounds, clients assume infinite revisions are included. Document everything in writing before you start.
Frequently asked questions
How do copywriters charge for their work?
Copywriters charge per word ($0.10–$1.00+), per project, or per hour ($50–$200). Website copy packages run $1,000–$5,000+. Blog posts typically cost $150–$500 depending on length and research.
What should a copywriting invoice include?
Itemize each deliverable (homepage copy, blog post, email), word count, revision rounds included, and any research or strategy time. Note the content's usage rights and exclusivity.
Should copywriters charge for revisions?
Include 1–2 revision rounds in your base price. After that, charge hourly or per revision round. Always state revision limits on your invoice or contract to avoid scope creep.
