There are plenty of ways for small business owners to create and track invoices. You could just fill out a Word template every time you need to bill a client, or you could use free software like Microsoft
Accounting Express or
QuickBooks Simple Start. But as with everything these days, there are also online solutions.
Invoice Journal is a simple web site that lets you create and track your invoices. There’s a simple form for entering new clients, and another for sending invoices to those clients. Easy as pie.
Invoice Journal lacks some of the bells and whistles you’d get with a more complex service like
FreshBooks. There’s no time tracking feature for example. But sometimes you want a service that does one thing and does it well.
If Invoice Journal doesn’t do it for you,
we’ve also looked at Invotrak, another free invoicing startup, that quite frankly, works pretty much the same was as Invoice Journal.

And how will the format’s backers stay competitive in the next year in the face of cheaper and more plentiful Blu-ray players?
