Then you need to start thinking about how you can help them. Brightman uses the example of Lovely Little Treats, a family pyjama company, offering discounts on Facebook in exchange for sharing a post.

Thousands of new businesses have launched over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. Out of 1,000 micro businesses, one in five respondents have gone online for the first time, according to the latest research from GoDaddy. Among the most common issues for businesses is promoting themselves on a tight budget.
GoDaddy has partnered with Olympic gymnast turned entrepreneur, Beth Tweddle, along with Stuart Coupland, founder of Coupland Leather, for their second Back to Business Masterclass. The virtual masterclass, Promoting your business online for ‘next to nothing’, aims to help entrepreneurs to maximise the reach of their website and social media output.
