How to Get Music Clients on TikTok and Get Paid Faster: A Guide for Musicians
Learn how to get music clients on TikTok and streamline your payment process with Becflow's B2B SaaS tool.
You spent months crafting the perfect song for a client's social media campaign. You sent over the track, expecting a payment of $500 within the week. Weeks turned into months, and the silence was deafening. You finally received an email saying they had 'forgotten' to pay you. You lost out on $500, and the opportunity to work with them again.
Why this keeps happening
This keeps happening because many musicians lack a clear payment system, making it easy for clients to ignore or forget about their invoices. Without a contract in place, clients are less likely to take you seriously, and you're left scrambling to get paid. Invoicing too late in the process can also lead to delayed payments, and without a system to track your finances, you're left in the dark.
Real example
Take Emily, a singer-songwriter who recently lost out on a gig due to a delayed payment. She was hired to perform at a corporate event and sent over an invoice for $1,000 after the performance. However, the client forgot to pay her, and Emily had to send multiple follow-up emails before they finally paid her a month late.
The habits that fix this permanently
These are the non-negotiables for getting paid reliably in your profession:
How to implement this step by step
Step 1: Create a Contract that Protects Your Interests
When working with clients, it's essential to have a contract in place that outlines payment terms, including the amount, date, and method of payment. This contract should also include a clause that outlines the consequences of delayed payments. For example, if a client fails to pay you on time, they may be charged a late fee. Use a tool like Becflow to create a contract that protects your interests and ensures you get paid on time.
Step 2: Send Invoices Promptly and Include a Clear Deadline for Payment
Send invoices promptly after completing a project or service, and include a clear deadline for payment. This deadline should be realistic and take into account the client's typical payment cycle. For example, if a client typically pays within 30 days, include a deadline that's 30 days from the invoice date. Use a tool like Becflow to send invoices and track when clients receive them.
Step 3: Use a Payment Link to Make It Easy for Clients to Pay You
Use a payment link to make it easy for clients to pay you directly, and reduce the risk of delayed payments. A payment link is a secure link that clients can use to pay you with their credit card or bank account. Use a tool like Becflow to create a payment link and include it in your invoice.
Step 4: Set Clear Expectations with Clients About Payment Terms and Deadlines
Set clear expectations with clients about your payment terms and deadlines, and communicate them clearly in your contract. This includes the amount, date, and method of payment, as well as any late fees or consequences of delayed payments. Use a tool like Becflow to create a contract that outlines your payment terms and deadlines.
