I work for an company as a graphic designer, My work is as best as world top best designers. but here problem is I didn't know how to do marketing. Infact, I am ready to get paid clients with paid ads, but not know how to get clients via paid ads.

Thank you for that video, am relieved. But I am still thinking if I should buy my own equipments and computer little by little, before I start, because I am working under a graphic company.
Should I save much and buy them, or should I buy them one after the other.
