MakeSomeTime Get’s a Facelift

We decided that MakeSomeTime could do with a facelift to enhance the look of the app and make it more professional looking while still keeping it simple. This is now version 3 and we hope you like it. As always any feedback on the new design would be much appreciated.

As usual the design updates will reach the blog eventually and an updated demo video will soon follow.

Sponsor MakeSomeTime

Would you like to reach an instant audience of professionals? Fancy some brand exposure and targeted traffic from the web’s hottest time tracking service? Well now you can get some.

Recently MakeSomeTime has been approved on Project Wonderful which is an advertising network with a bidding scheme. The main advantage of this is it means you only have to bid higher than other people to get your advert on MakeSomeTime. You can even advertise for free at first. Well worth checking out.

So if you fancy sponsoring MakeSomeTime and want to get your ads out to our audience then head on over to our advertising page and see if it might be for you.

New Pricing Scheme – $1/invoice

Today we have rolled out an upgrade to MakeSomeTime with a totally new pricing scheme designed to help out freelancers and other people who use this site.

We know that when your freelancing you don’t know when your going to have money, and that committing to a monthly fee might seem a bit scary. So we’ve decided to implement a pricing scheme that fits with the “do things simple” ethic of MakeSomeTime.

Now you have the ability to deposit money to your account. You can then use this money when sending invoices at a rate of just $1/invoice. How good is that! Note that you can create as many invoices as you like as you will only be charged when you send an invoice (and there is no cost for re-sending invoices). And that’s it. All other features of MakeSomeTime are now free and unlimited.

As always we would love to hear what you think about this new pricing scheme and we hope you enjoy it.

Upload a Custom Logo For Your Invoices

Now on MakeSomeTime you can upload a custom logo to replace the title on your invoices. This helps brand your invoices especially when sending them to clients and gives them a bit more of an edge and professional look.

You can upload your custom logo via the Settings > Invoice Settings page. Images must be no larger than 400px x 70px and in JPG or PNG format on a white background. As always let us know what you think about this new feature.

MakeSomeTime On Your iPhone

Working on the go or don’t have your laptop at hand? Well MakeSomeTime now has a scaled down, iPhone optimized version of the site. It is not a standalone app so you don’t need to install anything, just go to makesometime.com on your iPhone/iPod Touch and you should be good to go.

At the moment you can only use tasks, projects and clients. Reports and Invoices are inaccessible however you can always switch to and from the full version of the site with the links in the footer if you really need to access some features. Archiving and deleting tasks are also unavailable on the iPhone version of the site.

As usual any feedback on the iPhone version of the site would be much appreciated so don’t be afraid to let us know how you get on with it.
