How do you deal with marketing and communication when you're bootstrapped?

If you're working alone or maybe have only one co-founder, dealing with all the tasks can easily become overwhelming.

You know you need to do everything, but where do you start?

One big part of building a start-up is managing communication and marketing:

• Do you build the landing page first so you have a link to share, or do you figure out your brand identity first so the page doesn't look like a template?

• How many professionals do you need to get the job done? And how do you find them?

• What is the actual strategy to get your product in front of the right people?

We built NiceJourney exactly for this moment of panic to help you untangle the mess without completely draining your bootstrapped funds.

Depending on where you are stuck, we offer two paths:

• You can collaborate directly with our art director and graphic designer, who helps you find a clear visual direction, figure out how to actually stand out from the sea of competitors, and map out a strategy to make your product attractive to your specific market.

• If you need the entire ecosystem built, I jump in too. Together, my partner (the art director and graphic designer) and I take over the entire marketing and communication stack. We go from locking down the core brand identity to writing the exact copy for your website, building your launch campaigns, and crafting a comprehensive social media strategy.

We give you all the tools to ensure a great start, and then, you decide: you continue on your own, keep working with us, or build your own in-house marketing team as money starts flowing.
