Let’s face it – in order to start a business or have continued success with one these days, you have to work hard. So finding applications that make your job easier or faster will help you cut costs in the long run and assist you on the road to financial business success.

I’ve come across a few free online applications and even some software that can really help you monitize your business and create success for you and your team. These tools are all 100% free.

Invoicing from Express Invoice

This free professional invoicing software from NCH Software runs on Windows or Mac and can help you effectively manage all billing aspects of your business. With Express Invoice, you can create new and recurring invoices and IOs, send those invoices via email and fax (or save as a PDF), backup your data, design your layout, and more.

Text Message Reminders from Oh, Don’t Forget

Most small business owners have so much to remember that Post-It notes just don’t do the trick anymore. That’s where websites like Oh, Don’t Forget come in. By visiting Oh, Don’t Forget, you can enter a number, time and date for delivery, and a message to reminder yourself or your staff to keep them on top of daily duties, etc.

Flash Presentations from Spresent

Don’t have Microsoft PowerPoint but need to create high-quality presentations for your website or business meetings? Try Spresent, a feature-rich web application that allows you to do nearly everything you’d normally create through PowerPoint but right in your web browser. If the free version isn’t enough, they have advanced versions too.

Free Screencasts, Tutorials, Demos & More from ScreenToaster

Making video tutorials and demos is a cinch with ScreenToaster, a free online application that works with Windows, Mac, and even Linux. Straight from your browser, no downloads necessary, you can record and capture your movements online for customer assistance demos, screenshots, or web tutorials. Right now, you can only generate an HTML embed code to put the videos on your websites or send via email, but soon they will be releasing advanced features like video editing, alternative file formats, and more.
