Currently threw myself into the deep in of the pool to sink or swim.

I am a brand new entrepreneur, and just started my first company to sell my services. My market is the human resources field, specifically helping job seekers with their journey.

After testing my idea with an initial ad run to gauge interest I believe it to be a valuable service that people will benefit from. (I also got these clicks when my landing page looked horrible and gave no background about the company)

But, being a younger guy I do not have a ton of cash sitting around to burn advertising.

I was hoping someone could enlighten me on how to market your company in the very early days.

PS
Every week I post on the socials that I have set up for the business. I am currently working on scouring the internet to find emails that I can cold send promotions.
