USER INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Enter all your current debts into the Debt Tracker sheet. Include interest rates and due dates.

Step 2: Define your marketing goals in Marketing Overview. Be specific: What do you want to achieve and by when?

Step 3: On Budget Allocation, set monthly spending limits based on your income. Prioritize high-interest debt repayment before discretionary marketing spend.

Step 4: Every month, update “Actual Spent” in Budget Allocation and track your debt reduction. Use the Dashboard to see if you’re making progress.

Step 5: If your marketing campaign is underperforming (ROI < 1), reduce spend and redirect funds toward debt. Never borrow more money to fund marketing unless it’s a low-interest, strategic loan.
