04 Apr How to Support a Small Business for FREE

When money is tight, supporting others, especially small businesses, might feel out of reach or simply not a priority. Stop worrying as I come bearing good news: you don’t need to spend a penny to make an impact. Small businesses rely on word-of-mouth as well as visibility. If you’re struggling financially but still want to support a small business, your voice, time and social presence can be more valuable than cash.

Start with social media as it’s a game-changer. Liking, commenting on and sharing posts helps. Tag friends who might be interested or simply leave a positive comment. It all adds up. You can also write a thoughtful review if you’ve ever used their service or tried their product, even once. It doesn’t cost anything but your words can encourage someone else to make a purchase. If they host events, contests or polls, participate and show some love. Being broke doesn’t mean you’re powerless. Your likes, shares, tags and kind words help more than you think. You’re part of a community and your support matters!
