# Sourcefold Content Studio — portfolio sample

Speculative portfolio work using our own Neat Work Templates product information. This is not a paid-client engagement. This demonstrates a client deliverable; none of these drafts has been sent as an email or published as a new post in this task.

## Source brief

An agreed project fee and cash received are different numbers. For example, a freelancer agrees to a $600 project and receives $200. The balance is $400. Recording the fee, cumulative payments, stage and delivery date together makes the next admin review more straightforward. A tracker records the information entered; it does not collect payments or guarantee that clients will pay. Neat Work Templates offers a blank Freelance Project & Payment Tracker with 200 prepared rows and instructions for $9. A bundle with the cleaning and craft-market trackers is $19. Software that opens .xlsx files is required.

## Five social captions

1. A $600 project is not the same as $600 received. If $200 has arrived, $400 remains. Keep the agreed fee and payments in separate fields so your next review starts with clear numbers. Illustrative example. Explore the freelance tracker through our shop link.

2. A five-minute project review: check the delivery date, update the stage, record payments received and review the remaining balance. A simple spreadsheet can keep those details together. Our blank freelance tracker is $9, with 200 prepared rows and instructions.

3. Partial payment? Update the total paid so far rather than recording only the latest installment. For a $600 fee, two $100 payments mean $200 paid and a $400 balance. Illustrative example; check your records before contacting a client.

4. Your tracker should help you answer three questions: What did we agree? What has arrived? What still needs attention? The Freelance Project & Payment Tracker keeps fees, payments, project stages and dates in one workbook. It records your information; it does not collect payments.

5. Need tools for more than freelance projects? The $19 Neat Work Templates bundle includes the freelance, cleaning-job and craft-market trackers. The same three workbooks cost $27 separately. One-time purchase; spreadsheet software required. Shop: https://payhip.com/NeatWorkTemplates

## Two short-video scripts

### Script A — Agreed versus received (20–25 seconds)

Visual: three cards labeled Agreed fee, Paid so far, Balance. Add a visible “Illustrative example” label.

Voiceover: “This project is worth six hundred dollars. Two hundred has arrived. That leaves four hundred outstanding. Keep agreed fees separate from received payments, and your next admin check starts with clearer numbers. See the blank freelance tracker through our shop link.”

End card: “Freelance tracker · $9 · .xlsx software required.” No payment or earnings claim.

### Script B — Weekly project check (20–25 seconds)

Visual: four checkboxes appear: delivery date, stage, payments, balance.

Voiceover: “Before you start another project, check these four details on the ones already open. Confirm the delivery date, update the stage, enter payments received and review the balance. Our freelance workbook gives you two hundred prepared project rows and instructions.”

End card: “Neat Work Templates · Shop link in bio.”

## Short email draft

Subject: A clearer view of your project payments

A project fee tells you what was agreed. Your payment record tells you what has actually arrived.

Keeping both in one place makes it easier to review the balance alongside your delivery date and project stage. Our Freelance Project & Payment Tracker includes 200 prepared rows and built-in instructions in a blank Excel workbook.

The individual tracker is $9; the three-tracker bundle is $19. Software that opens .xlsx files is required.
