I’ve reviewed a lot of marketing strategies over the years, and most of them are the same: Google ads, Meta ads, LinkedIn ads, and some version of “content”. Three of those are donations to trillion-dollar companies.
So I made a list of every channel I know that costs $0. By channel I mean any spot on the internet where new customers can find out you exist.
There are 50, and I ranked them by where I’d put my own time first.
Here we go ↓
The list starts with the channels you’ve heard of (and how to exploit them in 2026), and goes all the way to things most marketers have NEVER treated as a channel at all:
Bookmark this one. Every marketer should have this list. The next time you need more customers and there’s no budget for them → it’ll be sitting here with a channel you haven’t tried yet.
It took me ten years to collect these. You get them all below. 💎
Here’s my full list (ranked), starting with the 5 channels I’d always try first.
