FREEBIES
I love freebies especially when it comes to technie tools / toys!
Sumo
Get free tools to help you increase traffic and build your list! Sumo doesn’t require technical knowledge (no coding necessary).

Sigwich
This is a very cool tool that allows you to add a great email signature. This signature can have links to your social media profiles and it even allows recipients the ability to text your cell phone from the computer (and without you giving them your cell number).

vCita
This has a free version and a paid version . This allows you a few different features (depending on what level you want). I love the form because it’s an easy way to get me quickly. It also has an appointment setting and calendar program (all very cool).
SlideShare
SlideShare allows you to create a presentation and post it. I’ve used this with Powerpoint presentations that I wanted to add to either social sites or websites.
Social Sites
Most social sites are free. A few I would recommend include Facebook (fan page), LinkedIn, Pinterest/Instagram (esp if your product is one that benefits from ‘showing’), Twitter, SlideShare and YouTube. There are many more (and seem to increase daily). It’s important to determine your target market to determine which one would benefit you most.
TweetDeck
Are you a Twitter user? This free dashboard allows you to manage your Twitter more effectively. Because, as you know, you have to participate and engage in order to be effective on social media. TweetDeck allows you to do that.
HootSuite
Need to schedule your posts so you don’t have to be on social media all day? Need a platform you can use to organize all of your social media accounts into one? HootSuite offers a free package (and paid ones) to help you effectively manage your social media.
