Marketing not going or or very slow.

[Jor1994]

Whenever i finish a project, the marketing either takes forever to go up or doesn't even move. I've just started so obviously don't have any money for a marketing department but also can't do it myself, even after educating in marketing. the most i've seen is in an entire day managing to market for £300 worth. How am i supposed to progress if i can't sell any products, am i just supposed to do contract work on my own for years until i have enough money to actually hire people?

You usually just spend at the very most a year of Contract work, then hire someone thats good at Marketting.

If you look to hire people, set their expected salary to the lowest amount, search them by their personality only. Hire someone who is ~20 years old and with a ~great personality match.

Then set their salary to the minimum amount (which should be 800 bucks).
You can also give them a quick marketing education, but for a fully trained marketer you'll have to pay ~1200 bucks per month because of the skill increase. Still, it's really not a lot of cash, just remember to set their salary to the absolute minimum possible.

As long as you have less than 4 or 5 employees, you don't have to cater to their social need. That means you can put your first marketer in a separate team and just dump him/her in an isolated room without any team leader. They just need a snack machine, a toilet and an espresso thing somewhere in the building to be happy.
