Online invoicing systems

There are lots of really good invoicing sites out there.
Depending on your needs, you will actually be able to use some of them for free. If, for example, you send less than 20 invoices a month, Saasu might be a really good option. For more than 20 invoices, they start charging, though. Some offer completely free plans, but without the ability to customise the invoices with logo etc. Others charge a few bucks a month, and you might choose one of those, if look-and-feel of the invoice is important to you.
Have a look on the sites listed underneath, and decide for yourself which plan fits your needs the best as your business hopefully evolves over time.

  • Billing Orchard will cost you USD 10, 15, 20, 35 or 70 per month. No free plan, and frankly, not impressive looking.
  • Bill My Clients don’t charge a monthly fee, but a fee per invoice. It is however, completely free, if you only send invoices by email.

Sites for personal finance

Creditcard- and paymentsites

With these sites, you can cash in on your site. They are basically creditcard hadlers that are paid only when you make a sale. They may have different approcahes to how the sale is made, but regardless, you pay them only if and when you make a sale.

  • Oronjo looks like a seriously cool site if you want to sell content online. What they do is allow you to sell intellectual content, either mp3’s, pdf-files, or access to stuff you have written online. Integration is seamless, and very user-friendly. They even give you the option to give a part to charity, or let your users decide for themselves how much they would like to pay for further access to you blog or virtual products. Finally, all this is your to use for free!

  • Tinypay.me lets you sell stuff online without having to sign up with a creditcard verifiyer. Use their online form to quickly add your item, some pictures, and via the Google map on the site describe where the item is for sale. The site is still alittle rough around the edges, but seems like a cool idea.
  • Trialpay lets customers get your goods for free when they make a purchase from big brands like Netflix, Gap, Real and hundreds more. Customers get your product for free and you get paid. Pretty neat.
