The reason marketers advise to hold off on ads in the beginning is because using an organic audience initially allows you to test all the elements of your marketing.
It gives you time to tweak several aspects before spending more money. It also gives room to “fail” (most efforts initially do) on a small scale. Instead of falling flat in front of a large audience. This reduces the risk of needing to pay more to repair your reputation.
So as tempting as it is to run ads from the jump, I’d say hold off for a while. Building organic traffic will pay you in the long run.
