FreshBooks has recently improved their automated recurring billing features. Recurring billing allows you to send a scheduled invoice to a customer on a specified date interval, but until now has been limited to static pre-set amounts. This is useful when you need to bill for the same item or service on a regular basis, such as a recurring monthly fee; but not so much for people who bill for a variable amount of hours worked and expenses.

With the billable hours and expenses tracking services that FreshBooks offers, you can now create a recurring billing profile that will automatically generate a new invoice for your client on a schedule that you choose. You can also decide whether you want to have the invoice saved as a draft for review before it is emailed to the client, or have it sent immediately after it has been generated.

Email newsletters are easily one of the most powerful and cost-effective marketing tools a business has to generate both new and repeat business on a regular basis, yet many business owners who decide to start a newsletter make one big mistake that can actually end up creating a huge headache in the log run -- potentially costing time, revenues and reputation.

Without taking into account the finer details of copywriting such as action words and key phrases that can make your email marketing campaign much more effective, the act of putting together the text and content you want to convey in your email newsletter is easy enough. However, many first-time newsletter writers choose to send their first emails directly from their business computers using their company domain name and email address. What a big mistake.

Why is This Bad?

The majority of personal email accounts, especially those hosted by free services such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! refer to one of several internet SPAM blacklists to help them decide whether inbound mail should be delivered to the user's inbox or the junk mail folder. The email providers also send the blacklists feedback in the form of a list of SPAM hitrates. In other words, what email addresses are routinely sending email that recipients are marking as junk unsolicited mail and don't want to see.
