User Instructions
Step 1: Input your monthly personal income and fixed expenses in the Personal Finance Tracker. This establishes your financial ceiling for marketing spend.
Step 2: In Budget Allocation, set your targeted monthly spending per marketing channel — do not exceed 20–30% of net income unless under a strategic growth phase.
Step 3: Log every campaign in Campaign Log with exact spend, dates, and results. Use the dropdowns to ensure consistency.
Step 4: Update Actual Spent weekly from your bank or accounting app. The template will auto-calculate ROI and variance.
Step 5: Review the Executive Summary dashboard each Friday. If any channel’s ROI remains under 70% for two consecutive months, reallocate funds.
Pro Tip: Use the “Funding Source” column to track if marketing is paid from business profit or personal savings — this reveals your true financial risk exposure.
