The provided source material describes a collection of free digital resources and tools available to photographers, particularly those focused on business development and education. These offerings are primarily in the form of downloadable guides, planners, e-books, and training courses. The sources indicate that these freebies are distributed through various websites and platforms associated with photography professionals and educators. The information is derived from a podcast episode, a Pinterest pin, and articles discussing photography business resources.
Several individuals and organizations are identified as providers of these free resources. Lisa DiGeso, associated with "Art and Soul Show" and "The Milky Way," offers a "Yearly Planner" available at www.themilkyway.ca/yearlyplanner. The Milky Way is also referenced in the context of free training for photographers, accessible via a link provided in the source material. Other contributors include Andrew Helmich, who offers a guide on "How to Book More Portrait Clients" at bookmoreportraits.com; Colie James, who provides a resource on "How to Optimize Your Offer" at coliejames.com/roadtrip; and Daniel Moyer, who offers "Finance Focus Steps" at focusedphotographers.com/ff. Additionally, Natalie Jennings provides "8 Things To Grow Your Photography Business" at photobusinesshelp.com/8things, and Sabrina Gebhardt offers "9 Steps to Set Yourself up for Success" at www.sabrinagebhardt.com/blueprint.

The source material also lists free resources from other photography professionals.

Kyle Goldie offers a free 1:1 Zoom call to help identify a unique path for photographers. Picsello offers an "How to Start a Photography Business Ebook."

The context documents also mention a kosher restaurant named "The Milky Way," which was started by Steven Spielberg's mom and has reopened in Los Angeles. However, this information does not pertain to free samples, promotional offers, or product trials and is therefore not included in the summary of freebies for photographers. The source material does not contain information regarding free samples of physical products such as beauty, baby care, pet food, health, food & beverage, or household goods. It also does not provide details on mail-in sample programs or no-cost product trials in those categories.
