It’s common for freelancers to request payment while they are reaching milestones in their paid projects — this gives them more flexibility and security over the way they are compensated!
In this article, we’ll go over how you can use Milestone Projects the next time you work on Contra!
On Contra, you can pay your freelancer as they meet milestones, checkpoints, or phases within a projects lifecycle.
Milestones identify when a deliverable is completed, and each milestone contributes to the overall goal of a project.
Milestones are specifically used for projects that are $2,000USD+ — this makes payments smaller and reduces the overall risk for both parties involved!
For example, if your project is to create social content for three months, you can add in a milestone outlining what the freelancer will deliver for each month.
Here’s a quick rundown ⤵️
Milestones — Checkpoints that are met during the duration of your project ✅
Deliverables — These are the items you want the freelancer to deliver. You’ll find these attached to every milestone. Learn more about deliverables here!
Using Milestones is a great way to keep track of how far along a project is progressing!
