Are paid media and ads included in the plan?
AnswerPaid media and ads are not in the monthly plan. The plan is the factory, your own accounts, and rank. Placements on outlets such as People.cn, Toutiao, or Zhihu are priced per piece and come back as a URL. Ad spend on Baidu, Google, Douyin, or Kuaishou goes to the platform; Dianwu takes a service fee. Your own accounts use the extension; see How do I sync one master draft to many platforms?.
Three ways out
Your accounts: extension sync, drafts you confirm. Weixin How do I sync to Weixin?, Toutiao How do I sync to Toutiao?, Eastmoney How do I sync to Eastmoney, and why does it stay on syncing?.
Paid placement: media. Ads: ads. Those prices are per piece or per campaign, not article quota. Writing quota: How is writing quota billed?.
Have a draft first
Without a master draft, placement and ads are empty. Write it: How do I turn a topic into a publishable master draft?. GEO wants the claim in more than one place; see What is Dianwu?.
Checkout is Stripe; see How do I pay for a plan or wallet—is it Stripe?. Placement is a separate order, not weekly dubbing characters.
