1. Free Mentoring. Small business owners can get free business advice, as well as mentoring, from SCORE, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping American entrepreneurs improve their businesses.
2. Free Shipping. If you order anything online, your first stop should be FreeShipping.org, which maintains a list of free shipping codes for over 800 online retailers.
3. Free Templates. There are thousands of free templates available online, including a wide variety from Microsoft, which checks the templates it offers for viruses and other problems before making them available.
4. Free Software. You need basic office software, like a word processor or a spreadsheet program, to run most businesses these days. OpenOffice is a free set of basic office programs that you can download.
5. Free Gift. Get 10 of your friends to join WHY magazine’s mailing list, and we’ll send you a cool fridge magnet (get it... cool?) from our online store. All they have to do when they sign up is type YOUR NAME & EMAIL ADDRESS in the comment box, and if we count ten of them, the gift is yours. Happy Holidays!
