Does free advertising guarantee sales?
No. Placement provides exposure under the service’s rules. Audience fit, message, destination, offer, and many other factors affect outcomes. Read the current allowance and term for each format rather than assuming all free ads work the same way.
Why is my Post It pending?
New Post It ads are reviewed before public display. Saving edits also returns the placement to review. Check the status on the member screen. Pending submission and active publication are different milestones.
Should I buy more traffic?
First confirm that the destination works and you can measure the result you care about. If the message is unclear or the offer does not fit the audience, more exposure may not solve the problem. A paid test should have a bounded budget and a clear question.
Your practical next step
Write a short campaign note using this guide: the problem you are addressing, the action you will take, the date, and the evidence you will review. Keep your existing version so you can compare later. If a product rule or measurement is unavailable, mark it unknown and resolve that gap before relying on it.
