Should I buy ads or not? Analyze my specific situation: content quality, niche, profit potential. Map the paid vs. organic equation: when does paid acceleration make sense? Calculate: if I spent $X on promotion, what's the ROI in followers/reach/revenue? Give me the paid strategy: these situations justify paid promotion, these don't. Include: when to use paid growth vs. organic only, which promotion types work best, and why being "too good" for paid promotion might be pride costing you speed.
