For context, I am a student and I have almost no budget to fund for expensive ad-places for my company (markthisforme.com). Currently, I am primarily focused on organic growth, which is challenging and requires time.

Cold outreach. Social media, engage with potential clients. Find affiliates for your business. If you share info about your business, answers could be more helpful.

I have been in a similar situation, this is the strategy that worked for me. -Affiliate marketing: This is a great way to start as it does not involves any risk to you. Start searching for the best keywords (short or long tail) that fits your product/landing page. You can use answerthepublic.com. Save them on a google sheets. Once you have a sample of 50-100 keywords, go to chat gpt and ask for 5 high intend phrases for each keyword. Once you have both keywords and phrases, (if you dont want to spend a lot of time) go to upwork and post a job description for lead generation emails. It is crucial that you back up this description with a playbook including the keywords and some affiliate examples. You can ask for free samples to start trying the quality of the leads. Then connect your gmail account to gmass in order to start an automation campaing, where you can contact this possible affiliates. This strategy will not only increase the high intend leads your product receives but also it boost your SEO as your domain authority will increase due to the new linking websites
