You were dreaming to establish your own business, but don’t know where to start. Based on our long-standing experience of facilitation and development of startups we shortlisted the best practices for you. Let’s begin.
First thing first: The term “bootstrapping” means starting a business with little or no capital at all and using the resources that are available to you. This means that your budget remains minimal, you do not get paid and work together with your team to further develop the project.
The process of promoting a product to the market can take more time, because you rely only on yourself and often learn from your own mistakes. However, this is a good way to maintain your concept, which is just evolving.

Campaign Monitor was able to start its activities thanks to the experience of the founders, which was enough to create and develop products. They also used the proceeds from their business consulting for project financing.

Marketing: Hiring a huge agency to promote a product can be very expensive, and there is no guarantee that your advertisement will be posted in various magazines and blogs. Alternatively, try outsourcing your press releases, but contact the journalists personally. Find the stories and publications relevant to your project and come up with your simple story.
Use the free MediaSync service to get the journalists’ emails and contact them directly. Reporters are interested in getting genuine content directly from the CEO of the company, and if you have a good idea for an article, they will certainly answer. Help a Reporter is another site, which is worth paying attention to.
