Marketing on a Shoestring: SEO, Content & Social Strategies for Founders (No Budget Required), EP 4
Most early‑stage founders believe marketing requires a big budget.
It doesn’t.

What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ How the Content Marketing Flywheel turns one idea into five pieces of content across multiple channels
✅ SEO fundamentals founders actually need — including keyword research, on‑page optimization, and fast‑ranking content formats
✅ How to use LinkedIn as a B2B distribution engine with founder‑led content that outperforms brand pages
✅ Why YouTube is the second‑largest search engine and how educational videos build trust before sales calls ever happen
✅ How to build and nurture an email list — your most valuable owned asset — starting on day one
✅ The lean marketing tool stack (free and low‑cost tools that actually work)
✅ A complete 90‑day marketing sprint plan to launch your growth engine step by step
Who this is for:
Early‑stage founders & solopreneurs
