Working freelance requires a number of skills. But one of the most important is the ability to keep track of your expenses and charges.
There is always the need to keep track of each step of your project. The pitch, the agreement, the research, the writing, the delivery and payment.
For most of us, this process is kept in our heads — until we issue a statement for payment. But the increased ease of online project managers helps make the process easier to manage.
I just did a test run of Project Bubble.
The free version allows for three clients. To have more costs $7 a month.
The site has a friendly interface and allows for quick and easy entry of projects, tasks and collaborators. And it can generate a billing statement based on all the stuff you entered while you worked on the project.
I am using it more right now for keeping track of personal projects such as personal and business trips and needed repairs around the house.
