How can I market my small business with no budget?

You can attract customers without spending much money by being clear about who you help and showing up consistently where they are. Start with a few simple channels.

Consistency matters more than doing everything at once.

Get the basics right

Define your ideal customer and the main problem you solve. Set up a simple website or profile and a free business listing on search maps.

Use free channels

Share useful content on social media, build an email list and join local or online communities where your customers spend time.

Build trust

Ask happy customers for reviews and referrals, offer a small starter deal and network with complementary businesses. Track what brings customers in and do more of it.
