Before going for freelancing; as a writer or graphic designer or Auto CAD designer etc. The first and foremost thing you should keep into mind is; be sure about your work. It is a kind of surety to both the parties. Some small but important things which should be kept into mind are:

- You have liberty to make any document as invoice by inserting necessary details into it.
- The contract between both the parties should be precise.
- On the top of the document you can write contract or service terms in bold letters in order to highlight them.
- Enter your contact information like name of the company, address of the company and contact information.
- It is mandatory to write date so that validity of your invoice stands.
- The project which you are assigning to your provider should have a unique project number with it.
- Specific dates with the work associated with that date should be added.
- Do mention payment cycle in your invoice in order to avoid any discrepancy in future.
- A separate section for expenses should be added in invoice template. As many a times it happens that there is a requirement of downloading software or attaching hardware.

Though if you have a proper template then you would not face any problems. As in freelancing there are not many changes in invoices all are almost similar in nature. The main things which should be remembered are company details with which you are working.
