No money? No problem—at least when it comes to marketing, if you know how to get creative. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we dive into smart, cost-effective marketing strategies that help startups and budget-strapped small businesses get noticed without spending a fortune. From DIY branding and storytelling to guerrilla marketing tactics that turn heads, we share how creativity and hustle can beat out big budgets.

We’ll break down real-world examples of entrepreneurs who turned limited resources into viral campaigns, how small businesses can build brand awareness on a shoestring, and why some of the most effective marketing ideas don’t require money at all—just imagination and execution. Whether it’s leveraging social media in unexpected ways, creating partnerships that expand your reach, or finding clever grassroots methods to engage customers, this episode proves that resourceful marketing is often the most impactful.

Mike and Blaine also reveal some of their favorite marketing wins and fails, showing how even “broke” businesses can build an audience, drive growth, and create a lasting impression. If your marketing budget is more napkin than notebook, this episode will give you the tools and inspiration to make every dollar—and every idea—count.
