#FreebieFriday makes a comeback this #fall!

It's been a while since I've done one of these freebie roundups, hasn't it?

With fall in the air, trolling the web becomes more attractive. Ahh, these fall leaves. The photo above by Sergio Rola is free ... like everything else on unsplash.com.

Love art books? Here's 422 free downloadable art books from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (via openculture.com).

Do you like to try natural products? Then try Social Nature. I've already scored some Camino hot chocolate mix.

Are you in NYC and take the subway? You need to check out Subway Reads by Penguin Random House! Find the best reads that will work for the time you're on the subway - 10, 20, 30 minutes. If you've tried it, do tell me how it goes!


I'm still in love with Creative Market* and I'll keep blabbing about its free weekly goods, perfect for bloggers alike!

The power of three four for #FreebieFriday!

Feeling Spring ... we're almost there!

This is my second bunch of freebie finds. Let me know if you find anything that you'd like mentioned here. I love to share the freebie love around!

SumoMe

Touts itself as "Tools to grow your website traffic," it offers tons of free tools for all websites (self-hosted, Blogger, Wordpress, etc). I'm a little (ok a LOT) in love with this - and I've abandoned many other apps - because it offers so much and integrated into one interface for free with the option to upgrade if desired or needed. You'll see that little blue square with the crown on it on the righthand side of my blog. It offers everything from integration of social media for image sharing (click on an image and you get to choose to share through Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook), heat maps (know where your visitors are clicking), a subscribe pop-up (that's the List Builder), a Smart Bar (I abandoned Hello Bar because this provides more flexibility), a Highlighter (highlight text and you can tweet it). Oh man, I could go on and on. I haven't yet explored everything but I'm totally sold. Go try SumoMe out for yourself!

Maira Gall's Aurora Template for Blogger 

I adore my template which I bought from Maira Gall*. It's clean, non-fussy, it's for Blogger (yes it is, can you even tell?), it got responsive design (and so looks great on mobile) and so easy to customize. If you're not quite ready to commit to buying, why not try out her freebie called Aurora?

POWr.io 

You'll feel like a kid in a candy store! This is a collection of tons, TONS (I mean, LOOK!) of plug-ins. I'm still playing around with these and figuring out what I can use but really, look at the selection - anything from galleries to e-commerce. There are free versions of all them, but of course if you want more functionality, then you pay up some. Go play on POWr.io!

Creative Market*

Oh the things out there! #FreebieFriday

I spend a ridiculous amount of time online and come across so many freebies floating around. I'll compile them and give them out to you when a Friday rolls around for my bookish (and not-so-bookish) version of #FreebieFridays.

Giveaway of Karin Bosman's Spitting on Hans' Tosti (two copies, open international). A potentially free book for you, if you win it! This a firsthand account of sexual harassment in the workplace. One of those topics you ignore ... unless it actually happens to you or someone close to you. Go enter!

Canva - a free online design program that even non-designers will love! Lots of great templates which take a lot of guesswork out of sizes. Tons of free content including photos, icons, fonts, and more. There's also a pro version but I find that the freebie version already packs a punch for my blogging needs. I created the header on Canva, as well as a lot of my blog graphics you see!

Creative Market* - this is among my first go-to's for design inspiration, templates, logos, photography, fonts and anything digital. I willingly part with my money here because the quality of the work is waaay up there. For example, my blog template is made by the amazing Maira Gall*. Now, for the freebies --- I go a little crazy every week because 6 items are FREE for download for a week! Go check out this week's Free Goods.

I'm booking my tour to Saturn!
(right planet?) 

Unsplash - looking for stock photography that's got oomph? Unsplash photos are totally, absolutely free. If you love getting freebie by email, sign up and get 10 new photos every 10 days.

Website Grader - curious where your website/blog needs improvement? Run this little audit and get some concrete suggestions. I only got a grade of 62 so while it passed, I can definitely see some areas I can work on .. maybe come Bloggiesta time!

whos.amung.us - I've known of this free little widget for years and love it! Know how many people are online real-time (it's that little red tab on the side) ... and even know where they're from if you install the map widget!

NASA's giving away brilliant travel posters! I know, so random. I had to add this because it's too cool not to share!

If you liked this post, please share! I'd love to hear what you think of some of the things I feature in my Friday lists!
