			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that the Sri Lankan online community includes more than a few freelancers who primarily operate off the web. Even then, there&#8217;s probably just a handful of freelancers or even small businesses that have given any thought about their invoicing. I&#8217;ve seen plenty of individuals and SMEs sending out invoices which are clearly MS-Excel spreadsheets or even MS-Word documents (Excel makes sense, but why anyone would go through the extra hassle of using Word is beyond me).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I thought of sharing a resource for invoicing which some of you may find useful &#8211; <a href="http://curdbee.com">CurdBee</a>. The objective is simple &#8211; if you&#8217;re doing some sort of business, it helps to look professional. So what better than a free solution that allows you to send out professional looking invoices?</p>
<p>Of course, you needn&#8217;t take my word for it, check out what the rest of the web has to say:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://blogs.bnet.com/businesstips/?p=1796">Manage Client Invoices and Accept Payments with CurdBee</a> by <a href="http://blogs.bnet.com/bio.php?id=broida">Rick Broida</a> on BNET.</li>
<li>Included in WebWorkerDaily&#8217;s list of <a href="http://webworkerdaily.com/2009/03/01/web-work-101-10-apps-you-cant-do-without/">10 apps you can&#8217;t do without</a></li>
<li>Featured on ES Developed, in a post about <a href="http://esdev.net/curdbee-gets-new-invoicing-and-billing-features/">CurdBee&#8217;s new features</a>.</li>
<li>Used as the <a href="http://www.weareagoodcompany.com/bigideas/2009/05/how-we-do-do-invoicing/">billing method at WeAreAGoodCompany</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>P.S:</p>
<p>In the interests of full disclosure, I used to work at <a href="http://vesess.com">Vesess </a>- the company behind CurdBee &#8211; for around a year, ending November 2005. The only reimbursement I would get out of publicising their service is the satisfaction that I was part of a small Sri Lankan company which is now able to offer world class solutions. <img src='http://www.nisadas.com/journal/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
