Summary
Not all marketing is created equal: how much is enough? This week on Got Marketing?, Mia tackles the million-dollar question: how much marketing is enough? Spoiler: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer because it depends on your business model, your goals, and how hard your offer is to sell. From why service providers like designers and copywriters don’t need to “do it all,” to why digital products and courses demand a constant stream of marketing, Mia breaks down the reality behind the advice you hear online.
