How much are you paying to send invoices at the moment?
$39 per month, $19 per month? Perhaps you pay someone $500 per month to do this for you? Maybe you don't pay anything and you just use a simple Excel spreadsheet and a Word document template?
There are lots of hosted web applications out there that charge a premium for you to do something that probably used to cost you nothing, except maybe a bit of time. If you use an Excel spreadsheet and a Word template then you join hundreds of thousands of other small businesses and freelancers who do the same thing (and pay nothing to do it!).
Time Wasted
However think of the amount of time it takes to create the invoice, edit in word, copy your client details in to the template, save as PDF and then find their email address on Outlook. If you run a business that invoices by the hour, think of the amount of money you're losing by doing this task which probably takes about 15 minutes per invoice.
Money Spent
If you pay for an online service like Freshbooks then you're probably getting lots out of it, like security, support, and an online system that lets you archive all your invoices and get paid online. But do you really need to be paying the $20-$50 per month for this service?
Cash Saved
Stop paying to send invoices and use Invoice Bubble. Invoice Bubble is completely free, all we do is put a link on the bottom of emails and invoices and have a tiny bit of advertising on the user interface.
Ok Invoice Bubble may not be as good as services like Blinksale, but if you are a freelancer do you really need all those advanced tools? Wouldn't you rather just have the money in your account?
Hours Saved
We made the user interface so simple and easy that anyone can work it out. You simple Add Invoice, Select Client, Enter Amount and click Send. Your invoice will be emailed automatically to your client with the PDF attached and then your client can pay you online through PayPal.
It's all free, but if you want to remove our links and the advertising, it's just $5 per month - which is a very small price to pay.
So what do you use to send invoices? Let us know.

I like to use Excel spreadsheet. But this seems a little better, I think.

Yeah, this is much better and time saving. Truly simple to use.

Definitely a good place to save some time in the work-day. 15 min I probably a little over the top for making and sending an invoice, but if you can save just 10 min a day, then it's a good deal.

This is a very good website for invoicing. I've tried almost all invoicing apps and highly impressed with invoice bubble. Everything is free with elegant invoices and best interface. What else anybody need? Highly appreciate this.
