Does stuff like this actually work? Never done anything like this before. Seems very unprofessional.

Get a 1/2 deposit upfront. This clears out most of the scrubs. Only commit your time when the client has committed money.

1/2 or 1/3 deposit upfront and then other payments of maybe 10-20% when certain milestones are completed.

And never start work without a contract which has been reviewed by a lawyer and that clearly states payment terms and repercussions for non-payment.
