Late Payments

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had any tips on getting clients to pay up in a timely fashion?

Am a freelance writer, with a number of regular gigs with online and offline publications, but, with a couple of exceptions - which have just about kept my head above water some months - they're all pretty awful at paying up on time. The payments trickle through eventually, but often not without pushing from me.

It's really getting me down, and may well end up sinking me financially. So...what do you do?

TIA for any help!Roger
