user3129: How do I receive Bitcoins from my clients who owe me money? I do not have a web site. Currently I send my clients an invoice. They discharge the invoice by sending me a check drawn on their bank checking account. Do I have to send them a Bitcoin "key" or account number of some kind?

user153: There are do-it-yourself methods (e.g., generate addresses using the bulk mode of BitAddress.org and send those out as payment addresses) but that requires a fair amount of tracking and manual effort.  
You can instead use a payment processor to send out invoices.  For instance, Coinbase offers e-mail invoices as well as payment pages, and BitPay offers a similar payment page as well.

user2306: You send them a bitcoin address along with the invoice. Use a different address each time, so that you can tell who paid you.
