I must have unusually principled clients. In 100 invoices I've only had to write off 1, and only had past-due delays on ~4. Most pay early
Apparently this is not the norm. Looks like sending an invoice is like spinning a roulette wheel for many freelancers and indie consultants.

In my experience, major difference is between inbound and outbound clients.
Clients who find me naturally and had read a decent amount of my writing are very reliable.
When I used to do a lot of outbound, that was not so much the case.

Do you mean obscurity in how I write or how I self-promote?
I believe my incompetence is being mistaken for deviousness 🤔

That could just mean so many fall off at earlier stages of the funnel that only the die hard fans make it that far :)

Indeed, it is unusual, even with solvent clients
Reminds me of this, which I just saw in my feed; this was a solvency issue: nwu.org/nwu-and-nautil

Stiffing the guy who wrote "Be Slightly Evil" seems . . . unwise.
