Struggling with budget constraints in social media marketing?

Create an efficient content engine. For example, have a founder host a weekly podcast. From there, clips that have compelling insights can be cut up and shared across platforms. To start, you can edit them for a particular platform and still share them across all. As the budget expands, you can start expanding the editing so each clip is produced to be "custom" for each platform.

Here’s how to maximize impact with a tight social media budget: Leverage user-generated content: Encourage followers to share their experiences, boosting authenticity and reach. Repurpose content: Extend the lifespan of high-performing posts by reformatting them. Collaborate with micro-influencers: They offer engagement at a fraction of the cost.

You will be surprised by how great organic reach is. Although much slower in getting traction as compared to inorganic, organic is a great way to build genuine connections with your audience
