Where do you find valuable marketing resources at no cost? The good news is that there are literally thousands of valuable marketing resources you can use that are available at no charge apart from a small investment of your time.

Here are six of these valuable, no-cost marketing resources to get you started.

Resource 1: Marketing Bullets by Gary Bencivenga

Gary Bencivenga was widely regarded as one of the best copy writers in the world.

He retired a while ago and left behind a real treasure trove of useful informatio­n.

It is 29 marketing lessons called Marketing Bullets that contain some of the best sales and marketing ideas I’ve ever seen.

Resource 2: The Value Pricing Boot Camp

Jonathan Stark is an expert on value pricing and has a terrific six-day email course to teach you how to make more money without working more hours.

Jonathan also sends out valuable daily emails on marketing that I find are worth their weight in gold (and these are all shared at no charge).

Resource 3: The Five-Day Lead Generation Challenge

Tom Poland is one of the best people in the world at helping service businesses create new leads to talk to (his lead generation systems are not suitable if you sell physical products). Tom has a wonderful resource that helps you create five new high quality leads and one new fee-paying client with only five hours of work over five days. The five-hour lead generation challenge is with Tom’s compliment­s.
