The best things in life are free: hugs, moonlit nights, belly laughs.
But the best things in business always cost, right? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Turns out there are plenty of great business freebies, and I'm not just talking about the swag bags you get for attending a $3,000 conference. I mean actual, honest-to-goodness free stuff, like apps and services built to help small-biz folks boost their productivity—and hopefully their bottom lines.
