I have the paid version of Canva - user friendly ISH...I struggle and find myself watching Canva videos too.

Is just one sale per month with weekly ads and perhaps more leading up the week b4 be recommended?

[@ThriftyWhitney]

I think the number of sales doesn't matter as much as consistency - if you always have just one sale a month, it helps your followers know what to expect. And you can create a marketing schedule based on that. If you decide to do weekly sales, you can adjust to that as well. Consistency is key!
