How much photographers should spend on ads greatly depends on multiple variables.
- End goal
- Target market
- Advertising media
- Budget
This article is super short because there is no simple answer to the question.
What we can tell you is you, the photographer, create the answer.
You spend however much money you want to spend on ads.
Some photographers get many great leads from spending only $100 on ads. Some get great leads without spending a dollar on ads, and some spend a lot of money on ads and get very few leads.
So it really depends.
Hate to say it, but it’s true.
