Working for clients abroad is the fastest way for an Argentine creator to improve their earnings, and also the one that generates the most trouble when nothing is agreed in writing. The difference between a good job and a headache almost always sits in the message sent before filming.
Price in dollars
It is standard practice and a foreign client understands it without explanation. What needs clarifying is what happens between agreement and payment: if the price is in dollars, it is paid in dollars or at the rate on the payment date, and that is written down before starting.
Who pays the fees
An international transfer, a payment platform or an intermediary all carry costs. If it is not clarified, those costs come out of your fee and you discover on payday that you earned less than agreed. The sentence that solves it is simple: the agreed amount is what must arrive in your account.
Payment terms that are not local
A company in the United States or Europe may have payment terms of thirty or sixty days from receipt of the invoice. It is not bad faith, it is their norm. Asking beforehand stops you planning your month around money arriving two months later.
Language and neutrality
If the client sells across other Spanish speaking countries, they will ask for neutral Spanish. That is real extra work: changing local expressions, watching the voseo, adjusting the rhythm. It is billed separately and should be said when quoting, not after a correction is requested.
What must always be in writing
Price and currency, who covers fees, payment term, number of revisions included, and rights with channels, territory and duration. Five lines in a message are enough. You do not need a long contract, you need it written down.
