A couple of weeks ago, I launched the first in a series called First Friday Giveaways. On the first Friday of every month, my aim is to publish a contest and give you – my awesome readers – the opportunity to win some awesome stuff. In the first installment, I had one free license of the freelancing software Fanurio.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a giveaway here on the Echo Enduring Blog, so I think it’s well past time to give you readers the opportunity to win something awesome. So, I am planning on starting a monthly giveaway called First Friday Giveaways. On the first Friday of every month, I will be giving you a post just like this one, where you will have the chance to win some awesome stuff!

To start it all off, the good folks over at Fanurio have offered one free license of their time-tracking and billing software for freelancers! I’d say that’s pretty awesome.

Win one free lisence of Fanurio

If you’re not familiar with Fanurio, be sure to check out their website. Here’s a brief rundown of some of the features of their app:

• Simple Time Tracking – Like all the best time tracking applications Fanurio comes equipped with a timer that allows you to carefully track the amount of time that you are spending on a given project. Of course, if you forget to start the timer, or if you are away from your desk and simply can’t manage it, you can always enter the time manually.
• Simple Billing – Simple billing tools allow you to track services and expenses across different projects and create simple and attractive invoices from editable templates. It even allows you to track taxes, as necessary.
• Analyze Your Work – Continued self analysis is an important function for any freelancer, and Fanurio allows you to produce reports to help determine how much money you’ve made or who your best client has been over a particular timeframe.
• Multiple System Support – Work on a Mac? No problem, Fanurio works on OS X. Windows user? You’re covered there too. Fanurio will even run on UNIX based systems!

If you just can’t wait and want to give the application a test run right now, you can always head over to their site and download a trial version of the software. And don’t forget to enter to win your own license !

So here’s how to enter:

1. Follow me on Twitter. Trust me, I won’t clog your feed and I always try to tweet interesting articles and resources!
2. Mosey on back here and comment. Include your Twitter handle (eg. @echoenduring), your email address (so I can contact you if you win) and a note about why you want to win one of these sweet prizes! It would also be great if you told everyone which packs you choose if you win!
3. Spread the word! Tell everyone you know! Tweet this post, digg it, blog it or post it to your favorite social network of choice! We’d really appreciate it! (optional)

A few basic contest rules:

1. Only enter once.
2. Contest closes after midnight (Standard Eastern Time) on March 12.
3. I will be tabulating entries, and selecting and contacting the winner within several days of the contest closing.
4. The winner will subsequently be contacted by Fanurio, with instructions on how to claim their prize

So there you go. That should be all the details you need. So go on, enter this contest! Oh, and don’t forget to head over to Fanurio’s website and take a closer look at all the awesome features that their application has to offer!
