The Internet offers a wealth of free tools for your marketing design needs, and as a public service, I present five items that are totally free for you to download and use without (very much) restriction:
1. Photos: FreeRangeStock offers royalty-free, searchable stock photographs free of charge (funded by unobtrusive site advertising) for you to download. All you have to do is register with an e-mail address and password. Although the quality of these photographs is less than some other stock photography sites, you can't beat the price.
2. Fonts: Most quality typefaces are copyright-restricted for non-commercial use unless they have been purchased; however FontSquirrel has searched the Internet for quality free-for-commercial-use fonts created by top designers.
3. Photo Editing Software: Can't afford Photoshop but have to edit photos? Try Paint.net, a powerful freeware photo editor that you can download in just minutes at no cost!
4. Business Chat Software: Volusion.com, an Internet sales company, offers a totally-free Internet business chat function that can be set up in minutes, embedded in your site using basic HTML, and that requires no software to be uploaded to your server. This is the chat software I use on MillerDesignStudio.net.
5. Advice: The usual advice is "You get what you pay for," but on the Internet, good advice is given out free of charge. Check out DuctTape Marketing for an unmatched collection of short articles about marketing techniques, new marketing software, and the principles of successful small business marketing.
Thanks Tim for the great article, the article offered strategies for marketing and advertising
