By Rohi Shetty
This is my 100th post for How to Tell a Great Story and I want to thank Aneeta for her unfailing support and help through the years. Also, thanks to you all for your valuable feedback over the years. To celebrate, I am sharing a curated list of 100+ free online resources, which I am sure will be of great help to you.
A word of warning, however. “Take what you want and eat what you take.”
Don’t overload yourself with stuff you won’t be able to use – it will just end up collecting dust on your hard drive and contribute to your sense of overwhelm.
Mission Profitable Giveaway
This giveaway organized by Cat Stancik gives you free access to over 30 gifts, from blueprints, templates, checklists, to online training from industry leaders and experts! It ends on 21st May 2018, so check it out right away here.
The Done4You Giveaway
This giveaway organized by Kim Clausen and Linda Claire Puig gives you access to about 75 done-for-you products and services. This year, it’s bigger and better than ever. More than 50 contributors are giving away free business products and services, totaling more than $1.5 million.
Here are a few tips to get the maximum benefit:
- Peruse all the giveaways in all the categories.
There are free gifts from ALL contributors, and raffled items from many, so be sure to check them all out. As you review the giveaways, there may be prizes that you hadn’t thought of that could benefit you in your business. - Take your time.
Don’t feel like you have to review all the giveaways at one time. Make note of where you left off from your previous review, and start there next time. - Schedule time to review the categories.
To get the most from the giveaway, you may want to review the gifts in several sittings. For example, you can allot 30 minutes three times this week to review and sign up for your gifts. - Don’t wait to redeem your prize.
If you win a raffled gift, remember that you must redeem your prize within 30 days unless the contributor states otherwise. So don’t delay in contacting the contributor of your prize. - Create a special place on your computer to store all your freebies.
There are a lot of valuable downloads available through the Done4You Giveaway. When you download them, they could get lost or you could forget that you have them. Create a special folder on your desktop so that when time allows you can easily access your free gifts. - Tell your subscribers, clients, and friends.
The Done4You Giveaway is the only giveaway that offers actual done-for-you products and services, not “how-to’s”. This is a huge benefit to many business owners who could use the additional support. Please share with others who could benefit from these great giveaways too.
Check it out before it ends on 28th May 2018.
