Marketing On A Zero Dollar Budget

Free marketing is not free. It costs time, so treat your hours like a budget and spend them where the response is fastest.

Pick two channels, not seven. One where your customers already gather, and one you own outright, like an email list.

Post with a plan. A content calendar removes the daily guesswork and turns scattered effort into a habit that compounds.

Track one number per channel: replies, clicks, or bookings. If a channel produces nothing in thirty days, cut it and reinvest the hours.

Consistency wins over cleverness. Show up weekly for a quarter and you will outrun most competitors in your category.
