Cowboy Dave's Marketing Solutions
We buy back your time.
A set of simple tools I use to keep my own business moving while I'm out doing what I do. Let me show you.
The idea
The support of a bigger business, without having to build one.
With our full-support business system, we help with the everyday: the phone gets answered, follow-ups happen, and what you post goes out after you approve it. In the office, on the road, or out doing what you do best.
Find it. Fix it. Systemize it.
Buy back the owner's time.
Your business line
Hi, saw your page. Are you open Saturday?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, Saturday works. Can I grab your name and the best time?
Sarah. Morning if possible.
Got it, Sarah. I've passed it to Dave and he'll confirm a morning time with you.

Questions
Ask away.
Do I have to recruit people?
No. You use the tools for your own business, and that is where the results come from. If you also want to tell another owner, there is a referral option: you earn a monthly share while they stay a paying customer. It is one level only, and only on people you send yourself.
Do you earn anything if I sign up?
I may. I'm an independent TradeForgeHub affiliate, so if you sign up through my link and stay a paying customer, TradeForgeHub pays me a commission. I'd rather you hear that from me up front.
Do I need to be good with computers?
If you can take a photo and say a sentence out loud, you can use it.
Is this AI?
Part of it. The writing help is AI, and there are people behind it. You read everything and approve it before it goes out.
Is it only for certain trades?
No. It's built for any small business owner, from contractors to coaches to creators.
What does it cost?
Plans and prices live on TradeForgeHub's own pages, so they're always current. The free trial is 72 hours with no credit card. See plans and pricing.
Who runs TradeForgeHub?
Its two co-founders: Mark Gorman, Co-Founder, Creative & Technology, and Cathrine Lynn, Co-Founder, Business & Operations. I'm an independent affiliate.
