Marketing Quick Tips 57: Smart Marketing for Small Budgets (Micro Businesses, This One’s for You!)

Marketing doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Especially if you run a tiny team or solo venture.

Try this high-impact, low-cost strategy stack:

• Batch-create content using free tools like Canva and schedule posts via Buffer or Later.
• Collect testimonials and customer reviews to turn into “proof posts” (see Marketing Quick Tips #16 and #28).
• Use ChatGPT to write quick product descriptions, ad headlines, or FAQs for your website.
  
  

Bonus tip: If you have five hours a week, block off one hour daily (Monday for emails, Tuesday for content, Wednesday for engagement, and so on). Structure helps momentum.

You don’t need big dollars, just smart tools and sharper focus.
