33% of payment on project start, 66% of payment on demonstration of final product, 100% payment on hand over.

Worst case you get 66% of your payment. Make sure 66% is enough to make the project profitable.

Clear contracts are also important. Fuck you, pay me.

Loved that video back when I was contracting. I paid a lawyer to draft up a standard contract and that was the best thing I ever did. Great value for the $$s. Saved my butt a couple of times.

I like that plan because it ends up paying ~~200%~~

edit: 199%
