 not forget to accept possible limitations. Plan how you intend to divide that budget and be sure you have the required logistics before you start spending.
Social networks perfectly promote content and reach influencers. This marketing channel looks powerful and attractive for startups as it can bring potential customers to the main website and influencing the influencers can generate thousands of new leads.
Choosing the best social networks for your business is not an easy thing. The most common mistakes many startups do are trying to master every network and trying to apply a specific network just because the competitor is doing it.
Email marketing is also an excellent way to drive customers to any startup business. Once you’ve created the right framework, it will do a lot of your job for you.
Startup founders may use various affordable email tools, some of which are specifically designed for startup businesses that don’t yet require managing contacts. For example, MailChimp or Zoho Mail.
Do not forget to integrate an email sign up on your website for people to learn more about your product and get a demo. It will help to generate leads as well.
It’s not always easy to define when it is the right time to tell people about your startup and choose the right messages to attract their attention.
Content marketing does really matter. Managing a blog and other forms of content is a daunting but rather interesting job.
It all may start with creating a topic list, preparing a content plan and choosing appropriate sources for promo campaigns.
Knowing what types of startup content to publish is also a big deal. Consider your options carefully, always keeping your target market in mind.
Startup marketing may seem easy at first sight, but it is a complex science.
Some great marketing ideas have failed due to a lack of budget, media attention, customer awareness or a poor strategy. However, there are many great startups that have achieved their fame painlessly.

I was born in 1980 at the Feather River Hospital in Paradise, California. My family had lived there since 1964 when my contractor grandfather built the Foster's Freeze and many other businesses across town. When I was eight, my grandma had me carve my name in wet cement in Paradise's beautiful Bille Park, a transgression I was stunned by as a kid.
A rare piece of history circa 1980s in Paradise's Bille Park.
I moved to Oregon for high school and didn't go back to Paradise until I was in my 30s, but the town always held a magical quality for me in my mind. It's like if the Pawnee, Indiana, from "Parks and Recreation" had more of a pioneer quality to it and everyone liked weed, booze and nature.
On Nov. 8, 2018, Paradise burned to the ground in the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. My childhood home and just about every place I had a connection to in the area was gone overnight. But I wasn't affected. Not really. I didn't lose everything. I didn't have to be evacuated, leaving behind animals and beloved memories to burn. I don't personally know a single one of the 85 fatalities of the fire. My connection is tangential.
Yet, still, when I heard Ron Howard was making a documentary about Paradise, I couldn't imagine sitting through it. My friends and family still in the area are happy that a documentary about their situation was getting made, but most of them aren't prepared to sit through it. A lot of the people I know from down there are still living in RVs and tents on the hollowed-out remains of their property. It's all still too fresh for people to reflect on.
I should have had more faith in Ron Howard, who has been slowly becoming a stronger filmmaker as he ages. While the opening of "Rebuilding Paradise" is filled with some of the most harrowing fire photography I've ever seen, along with multiple terrifying real-life escapes, the film isn't interested in sensationalism.
Instead, "Rebuilding Paradise" is about the resilience of the community and the individuals. It's about the school administrator who wants the high school seniors to graduate on their beloved football field. It's about the Paradise police officer who desperately and exhaustingly pushes himself to get a tree-lighting ceremony together for Christmas. It's about the town drunk who became mayor, who lost his house and just wants the permits to rebuild.
But the film isn't faux-inspirational claptrap, either. "Rebuilding Paradise" also focuses on the people who've given up and are done with Paradise. Watching the town verbally destroy a representative from PG&E (the primary culprits of the fire) in a city council meeting should feel like a moment of vindication, but instead feels exhausting and ugly. Even as Paradise rebuilds, the documentary is sober enough to admit there's really no coming back from this. You can rebuild the town to the exact specifications that it was on Nov. 7, and it still wouldn't really be the same.
It's a well-crafted documentary, beautifully directed and photographed, and hopefully the people who need to see it can and will. But I also wouldn't blame them if they choose not to. The Camp Fire isn't their collective past. It's their present. They still have nightmares about being surrounded by fire and by the pets they couldn't reach in time. I found myself crying at dozens of points across the film and I wasn't even there. Technically, the only thing I lost was an idea of what home is supposed to be.
When I went back to Paradise a few years ago, I made my family take me to Bille Park so I could see if my name was still carved in the cement. Walking around, I had trouble remembering exactly where it was, until I moved around some bushes near the bathrooms and found it, looking like it was carved in Precambrian times: "Jared '88." I don't know if it's still there after the fire and I'm not sure I want to know. In my head it's there. Maybe a little melted and stained with dried ash and grime, but still there.

Palestinian protesters gathered as black smoke is seen from burning tires during a protest at the Gaza Strip`s border with Israel on 6 April. Photo: APThousands of Palestinians protested along Gaza’s sealed border with Israel on Friday, engulfing the volatile area in black smoke from burning tires to try to block the view of Israeli snipers and cheering a Hamas strongman who pledged that the border fence will eventually fall.Israeli troops opened fire from across the border, killing at least nine Palestinians and wounding 491 others – 33 of them seriously – in the second mass border protest in a week, Gaza health officials said. A well-known Palestinian journalist was among the dead, and hundreds of others suffered other injuries, including tear gas inhalation, the officials said.The deaths brought to at least 31 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since last week.Early Saturday, Palestinian health officials confirmed that Yasser Murtaga had died from a gunshot wound sustained while covering demonstrations near the Israeli border in Khuzaa. The area was the scene of large protests Friday, and was covered in thick black smoke.Murtaga was over 100 meters (yards) from the border, wearing a flak jacket marked “press” and holding his camera when he was shot in an exposed area just below the armpit. Journalists were in the area as protesters were setting tires on fire.The Israeli military has said it fired only at “instigators” involved in attacks on soldiers or the border fence. It had no immediate comment.Murtaga worked for Ain media, a local TV production company that has done projects, including aerial drone video, for foreign media.The latest casualties were bound to draw new criticism from rights groups that have branded Israel’s open-fire orders on the border as unlawful, after Israel’s defence minister warned that those approaching the fence were risking their lives.The UN human rights office said Friday that it has indications that Israeli forces used “excessive force” against protesters last week, when 15 Palestinians were killed or later died of wounds sustained near the border.An Israeli military spokesman defended the rules of engagement.“If they are actively attacking the fence, if they are throwing a molotov cocktail that is within striking distance of Israeli troops or similar activities, then those persons, those rioters, become, may become, a target,” said lieutenant colonel Jonathan Conricus.Friday’s large crowds suggested that Hamas, the Islamic militant group that has ruled Gaza since a 2007 takeover, might be able to keep the momentum going in the next few weeks. Hamas has called for a series of protests until May 15, the anniversary of Israel’s founding when Palestinians commemorate their mass uprooting during the 1948 war over Israel’s creation.
