User Instructions

This template is designed for ease of use. Begin by selecting your primary marketing channels from the dropdown list in the Weekly Budget Tracker. At the start of each week, enter your planned budget under “Budgeted ($).” At week’s end, fill in actual spend and total sales generated (from Sales & Results sheet). The Dashboard automatically updates charts based on your entries. Track which channels deliver real returns — not just likes or clicks — but actual revenue. Use the “Notes” column to record insights: e.g., “Used $20 Instagram boost → 12 sales, 1 new subscriber.” Over time, you’ll learn where your home marketing dollars work best. Reset the template weekly by copying rows into a new week’s section (no formulas will break). Always link expenses to outcomes — this is what transforms a simple budget into a powerful Marketing Plan.
