There are several free tools and resources available in the internet marketplace. Whether you are a newbie or an advanced online marketing expert, you must leverage these free resources. Even if you have tons of money, the free resources should be explored before running out … well, pulling the credit card out and buying the products and services.

Internet is a Free EcoSystem

If you take a moment and think about the internet, the whole ecosystem is based on free services. For example, Google, Yahoo and MSN are completely free for the consumers. Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo Mail are not going away. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and CraigsList are not paid services. Hence the arguments “Nothing is Free in this material world” or “There no such thing called Free Lunch” are not true from this perspective.

Too Much Free Information

In fact, there is too much free information on the Internet, people are not able to sift through the stuff and differentiate the trustworthy information from useless data (or right and wrong). Keep in mind that what is useful and beneficial to you may be useless for others. Hence every bit of information and every resource (tools, services, products) available freely should be weighed in the right context.

For example, if a site reviews a high priced software or a training course and suggests that hundreds of thousands of dollars can be made in weeks, it may not be totally wrong, but it might not be suitable for you. There is no shot cut for hard work.

Here is a brief list of free resources available on the internet and everyone should be using the same:

• Web Page Hosting: HubPages.Com, Squidoo.Com
• Documents Hosting: DocStoc.Com, Scribd.Com
• Video Hosting: YouTube.Com, Google Videos, Yahoo Videos, Viddler.Com
• Article Directories: EzineArticles.com
• Screen Capture: Jing.Com
• Teleseminar Hosting: FreeConferenceCall.Com
• Blogging Platforms: Blogger.Com, WordPress.Org
• Discussion Forums: WarriorForum.Com, Sphinn.com
