If you want to be taken seriously, and avoid being taken advantage of, you need to use contracts in your business (and thoroughly review them before you sign them).

If you are working with a brand, you need to know how much you will get paid, when you will be paid, when the work is due, and if you can use the content you create again in the future.

Invest in a good lawyer to draft template contracts to use in your business, or to review complicated contracts.
