The Freelancer Starter Kit — Every Document You Need on Day One

Starting as a freelancer means wearing every hat — sales, legal, finance, and operations. The good news? Every document you need on day one can be created free, right in your browser. Here's the complete workflow.

Step 1 — Build a professional resume

Before you land your first client, you need a resume that passes ATS screening and looks clean. Build it once, export as PDF, and reuse it for every pitch.

Step 2 — Write a cover letter that converts

A resume gets you found; a cover letter gets you hired. Tailor one for each client using AI assist — no staring at a blank page.

Step 3 — Send your first invoice

You did the work. Now get paid. Generate a professional invoice with line items, tax, and PDF download — no subscription required.

Step 4 — Protect yourself with a contract

Never start work without a signed agreement. Generate a service contract with clear scope, payment terms, and deliverables.

Step 5 — Sign and protect your documents

Once your contract is ready, add your digital signature and protect the file with a password so neither party can alter it.

Bonus — Track your subscriptions

As you grow, you'll accumulate SaaS subscriptions. Audit them regularly so you're not bleeding cash on tools you no longer use.
