The contracts every marketing freelancer should have
Marketing freelancers juggle projects, retainers, and referrals — your money leaks through scope creep and outcomes you can't guarantee. The Contracts Kit gives you plain-English templates built for exactly this — read every word before you decide, then own all 15 for a one-time $49.
Marketing work mixes one-off projects with ongoing retainers and gets judged on results you don't fully control. The right paperwork frames realistic outcomes, fixes recurring scope, and lets you earn from referrals cleanly.

Frequently asked
How do I avoid being blamed for results I can't guarantee?
Put a clear scope and a results disclaimer in your agreement. The Client Services Agreement states what you'll deliver and that outcomes depend on factors outside your control, which keeps you paid for the work itself.
Can I formalize a referral arrangement?
Yes. The Referral Fee Agreement defines what counts as a qualified referral, the fee, and how it's paid — so a handshake commission becomes something you can actually collect.
