Mr Trump said he would bring out "substantial" adverts in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina ahead of primary elections in February.
Meanwhile, former New York Governor George Pataki has pulled out of the race for the Republican nomination.
Mr Trump, a property tycoon, has previously said that he is funding his campaign himself and wouldn't be in the pocket of lobbyists or powerful corporate entities. He has also insisted that he has spent very little on his campaign so far, and yet is the frontrunner.
"I'll be spending a minimum of $2m a week and perhaps substantially more," Mr Trump said in a video broadcast on CNN.
"I'm going to be doing big ads in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and they're going to be very substantial."
Mr Trump's campaign so far has been marked by a series of controversial statements.
Earlier this month, he said Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton had been "schlonged" by Barack Obama in 2008, using a vulgar Yiddish term that means a penis.
He said he was referring to Mrs Clinton's defeat to then Senator Obama in the primary contests that year.
He has also called for Muslims to be banned from entering the US following a deadly attack in California carried out by a radicalised Muslim couple.
The billionaire, who has no political experience, leads the polls nationally among Republican voters, and is also ahead in some key states.
