I call this my Million Dollar Rolodex because I believe the savings I’ve had using these free and low cost resources have literally saved me tons of money while successfully growing my business.

My disclaimer is that I cannot guarantee results or take responsibility for anyone else’s company but my own.

You must evaluate your need for each service and how you interact with the providers.

I try to keep this up to date, but if any fail that is for the vendor to correct.

Also, please note that some of the links are actually my “affiliate” links. This means when I refer them, I will earn a commission for referring them. This does not mean you will pay more for these services or products by using these links and it does not mean I will promote crap I don’t fully believe it to earn a commission from your purchase. You might even get a better deal that I’ve set up exclusively for my clients. I’ve put an [a] next to these links so that you know which ones apply

Appointment Scheduling

TimeBridge – Schedule appointment times with individuals or check on availability for meetings with groups of people. Will sync to your Outlook/Google calendar. Free service and upgrades available. Also look at…
TimeTrade – Same as above, but you can create specific timeslots (e.g. 15, 30 minutes) that will be available through a “schedule book” and send automated messages. Low fee per year after trial. This is my primary scheduler.
YouCanBook.Me - YouCanBook.Me takes the information from your Google Calendar about your FREE and BUSY times and displays it in an online bookable grid for your clients, customers, or partners to schedule with you.
