If you’ve ever wondered how much you should really spend on marketing, you’re not alone. Most freelance designers and creative entrepreneurs struggle to set a realistic marketing budget. Worse, many operate without one, leading to wasted dollars, inconsistent leads, and unpredictable growth.

But don’t worry—your guesswork ends today.

In our latest YouTube video, “What Every Designer Needs to Know About Digital Marketing Budgets,” we break down a simple, no-fluff approach to planning a marketing budget that actually works—no MBA or agency background required.

This video is a must-watch for graphic designers, web designers, UI/UX professionals, illustrators, animators, and other digital creatives seeking to transform marketing into a consistent client-generating system.

Inside the video, you’ll discover:

• Why a marketing budget actually matters for creative businesses
