And the client has asked you to send an invoice.

Now you’re probably wondering what’s an invoice? Are you supposed to get one from a bookshop? Or how to write an invoice for freelance work?

7+ Highest Paying Freelance Jobs For Earning A Steady Income

If you’re just starting out as a freelancer, you’ll want to get started the right way in the career path that generates the highest income, right?

Many new freelancers think that way. And it makes sense, doesn’t it?

There’s a reason why some writers get paid $5 on Fiverr to write a 1000-word article while others make $100 for the same job somewhere else.

Getting paid well depends on your skill level, experience, and quality of work.

Having said that, it’s also important to know your market and see which type of jobs and skills get paid the most so that you can maybe start learning a new skill or plan for a future freelancing career.
