How Arjun, a Freelance Designer, Stopped Chasing the Payments and Doubled His Income
Arjun was tired of chasing payments and juggling tools—until one platform changed everything. Here's how he fixed his workflow and grew his freelance income in just weeks.
Profession: Freelance Graphic Designer
Used: Lancers Club (Beta Access)
From Creative Freedom to Payment Struggles
Running a freelance business comes with flexibility—but without the right systems, it can quickly become overwhelming. Arjun, a freelance graphic designer from Pune, was managing multiple clients, but his financial operations were a mess.
He loved designing—but hated spending hours chasing payments, managing invoices, and juggling spreadsheets. It was costing him time, energy, and income.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Freelance Management
Arjun had three years of freelance experience. His design skills brought in steady work, but his backend processes were far from efficient.
Here’s what he struggled with:
- Delayed client payments with no consistent reminder system
- Invoices manually created in Word/Excel, often unstructured
- Follow-ups sent awkwardly via WhatsApp or email
- No centralized dashboard to track income, overdue amounts, or monthly cash flow
- 5–6 hours lost every week to admin and finance work
“I didn’t realise how much time I was wasting just chasing payments. It wasn’t even work I got paid for.”
Finding a Better Way Through Lancers Club
Arjun discovered Lancers Club in a freelancer WhatsApp group. The platform was in its beta phase, inviting a small number of freelancers to test features and give feedback.
He joined early, became one of the most active testers, and quickly realized how different the platform felt compared to other tools.
“It felt like it was being built with freelancers in mind—not just another software trying to fit everyone.”
Setting Up Lancers Club in Minutes
Once onboarded, Arjun was able to streamline his freelance operations quickly. Within 30 minutes, he had:
- Created branded, GST-compliant invoice templates
- Saved client profiles with payment and project history
- Set automated payment reminders (3-day, 7-day, and 14-day intervals)
- Linked UPI and bank transfer options for faster payments
- Tracked income, overdue invoices, and expenses from one dashboard
No more awkward reminders. No more scattered tools. Lancers Club handled it all.
Freelance Tools That Actually Worked
Arjun relied heavily on the following Lancers Club features:
- Professional Invoicing: One-click branded invoices with GST fields
- Automated Payment Reminders: Clients received polite nudges automatically
- Cash Flow Dashboard: A real-time view of his earnings and expenses
- Client Management: Store client details, payment status, and invoice history
- Payment Tracking: Instantly see who’s paid, who hasn’t, and what’s overdue
“Clients started paying on time. My invoices looked legit. And I didn’t have to be the bad guy chasing payments anymore.”
Tangible Results in Just Two Months
Within weeks of using Lancers Club, Arjun began to notice serious changes:
- 90% of clients began paying on time
- Saved 5+ hours weekly by eliminating manual admin
- Recovered missed payments, increasing income by 25%
- Doubled his earnings in six months, thanks to better financial control and confident rate increases
“By the end of the first month, Lancers Club had already paid for itself. I finally felt in control.”
Built for Freelancers, Not Just Another Platform
Before Lancers Club, Arjun tried other platforms—but they felt clunky or disconnected from how freelancers really work. Lancers Club was different. Every feature was designed for real-world freelance needs.
- Seamless UPI & Bank Payments: Let clients pay you directly, right from the invoice

“Lancers Club didn’t try to change how I worked—it just made it easier and faster.”

Arjun’s story is proof that success in freelancing isn’t just about skill—it’s about systems. Without them, it’s easy to lose time, money, and focus. But with the right foundation, growth becomes predictable and scalable.
