Record every marketing expense immediately after payment. Update the Status column as campaigns progress.
In Sales & Revenue Impact, update revenue figures weekly or monthly based on actual sales data linked to each campaign (use unique UTM codes or promo codes for tracking).
Log all personal income and expenses in Personal Finance Log — even small purchases. This reveals how marketing investments impact your personal liquidity.
