Remember when you used to pay for things?! When computer software was almost as much as your new computer. Times have certainly changed! Today many companies are giving you all that stuff you used to pay hundreds of dollars for—for free! What’s the catch? There has to be a catch! Sometimes there definitely is a catch…it’s free, but you have to watch a 30 second commercial every five minutes. Or it’s free but you have to pay a subscription once you start to really like it. In the case of Google Apps, it truly is free. No annoying ads. No money grabs. Nothing. For the price of nothing you are getting online software that is on par with the Office suite you grew to love—and pay hundreds of dollars for. That means you get writing software, spreadsheet software, presentation software, and more…and you don’t pay a dime! Now you see why so many people are making the switch to Google Apps? Who wouldn’t want to pay nothing for good software? If you are interested in learning more about it, or you are ready to make the leap and become a free user, then this guide will show you the ropes and get you started as quickly as possible. Let’s get started! This book is not endorsed by Alphabet, Inc.
