The BIG list of premium marketing tools that offer free trials

[Kurt]

A reminder about free trials...they can be a real time-drain because of the learning curve many of them have. You can often spend hours or even days just trying to learn a tool without actually being productive. Trust me, I'm an expert on this.

Another risk is if you have to enter payment info. This opens up an opportunity for you to forget about cancelling and being charged.

But with the risks, there's a lot of gain on this thread.

Also:

Being on the clock can also make you more productive, knowing you have to get things done before time runs out.

Compare similar services before buying.

Save a lot of money if you're on a budget. There are thousands of dollars worth of high quality services and tools that you can take advantage of without spending money.

Reduce risk by testing actual results before buying.

Extend your access. If you just want access for a month, sign up for the free trial to get an extra week.

Use them as an educational tool. For example, many of the keyword/SEO tools will teach intermediate and advanced SEO principles.
