Earnli · The Field Guide

Get paid like
a business.

Five short field manuals on the money side of the trades — written for people who bill from the truck, not from a desk. No fluff, no MBA talk. Read one on the drive between jobs.

The 60-second invoice, and why speed is money.

Invoices sent the same day get paid twice as fast. Here's how to make same-day automatic.

6 min
Estimates that win the job without buying it.

The fastest quote usually wins — but the clearest quote wins at your price. Both speed and clarity are learnable.

7 min
Chasing money without burning the bridge.

A reminder system that gets you paid and keeps the referral. The trick: make it the system's fault, not yours.

6 min
Billing from the basement, and other dead zones.

Basements, crawlspaces, new builds, the mountains — your office has terrible reception. Your billing shouldn't care.

5 min
Price the job, not the hours.

Hourly billing punishes you for being good. Flat-rate pricing pays you for the twenty years it took to be fast.
