Tips for bootstrapping and scaling an agency:

Start small and focus on a specific niche or target market. This will allow you to build expertise and reputation within a particular area, which can help you attract more clients and grow your business over time.

Leverage your existing networks and relationships. Reach out to friends, family, and former colleagues who may be able to refer you to potential clients or help you get your foot in the door with new opportunities.

Be resourceful and creative when it comes to marketing and promoting your agency. Use social media, networking events, and online platforms to get the word out about your services and build your brand.

Keep overhead costs low by working remotely or outsourcing certain tasks. This will help you maximize profits and remain flexible as your business grows.

Stay organized and track your progress. Use tools like project management software and financial tracking systems to help you stay on top of tasks and keep track of your performance.
