10 free tools every small business should be using
I think most people are aware by now that the world of software is changing - moving from expensive applications that you purchase for each of your computers to online "software as a service" that you pay for monthly. FeedMagnet itself falls in this category of new software. And and as a part of us eating our own dog food, we are running pretty much every aspect of our business with other software-as-a-service apps.
One of the by-products of this new model for software is a plethora of free services that small and startup business can benefit from. Most of these new tools have a "fremium" monetization model - providing a free version of the product and then selling premium features at a monthly cost (this is our plan for FeedMagnet, btw). As a result, there are a number of products that can be used to power your business for free - at least until you grow to the point where you need the more advanced features.
There are a ton of these apps available, but in this post, I'll cover a handful of the ones that are particularly useful for small businesses.
