You Get What You DON'T Pay For!



There is an old saying, "You get what you pay for" but it isn't true. Sometimes you get what you don't pay for. Birthday Reminders is a prime example. It is a FREE service that is "worth it's weight in gold."
A great way to show gratitude to people is to remember their birthdays. I have been using this service for years to remind me of friends, family and clients' birthdays.
My favorite features are:

  • Birthday Requester
  • Text Reminders
  • Free Ecards
Check it out. It will be the best "Non-Investment" you will ever make:) 

Do you know of any Free services that you would like to share? I'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to Free Technology Solutions

I just love technology, especially FREE technology! As you will read in my bio, I have built and marketed my business using all of the FREE technologies that I will be sharing with you in this blog.
My latest challenge was my avatar, the cartoon character of me in the right side column. I have wanted an avatar of myself for months.  I could visualize it in my head but didn't know how to create it.
As I've stated in my bio, I am building my business on a "shoestring budget." After months of researching, I found a site that allowed me to create a FREE avatar and using Microsoft OneNote and MS Word I added the accessories that I wanted but were not available on the site.
This blog is dedicated to sharing all of the FREE technologies that I have used to design my websites and market my business.
I would love your questions, suggestions. If you know of any FREE technologies and would like to share them, please contact me. If I use them I will add them to my blog and give you credit.
