Let’s say you’re starting from zero.

You have:
  • No audience
  • No followers
  • No email list
  • Only $20
Where would you spend the money, and why?
 
I’d probably use the $20 to test one simple ad instead of spreading it across different campaigns. Maybe spend around $5 a day for four days, keep the same offer, and see if anyone clicks or shows interest. That would at least give you some real data to work with before spending more.
 
diy everything out
Even doing everything yourself can still cost money, especially for the tools or platforms you need. Plus, it takes a lot of creativity to put everything together, and there’s definitely some risk if it’s not done properly. Still, with only $20, it’s probably worth a shot as long as you keep things simple.

This could work too. I’d probably use just a portion of the $20 to test one simple ad first, then keep the rest for later once I see how people respond.

Yeah, this is a smarter way of doing it. It gives you room to adjust without burning through the whole budget right away.
