1. You need to decide how you want to be paid, such as by check or direct deposit into your bank account.
2. Make sure that you have an agreement in writing with the client stating when and how they will pay you.
3. Consider setting up a business checking account for your freelance work so that you can easily keep track of your finances.
4. Check with your state's department of revenue to see if you need to register as a freelancer.
5. Make sure to obtain any necessary tax identification numbers from the IRS.
