Watch for
- No free route — this is a paid listing + visibility package, not earned coverage
- Paid placement ≠ endorsement — their own FAQ says so
- The 'latest products' feed mixes paid launches with editorial
What counts as live
A permanent product page on nextbigwhat.com plus the paid homepage/newsletter promo window
