Organic VS Paid Advertisement
It is hard to imagine business nowadays that is not somehow present on Internet. We even have those influencers who claim that „what wasn’t shared on Facebook – never happened”. If you don’t have accounts on social media and platforms, there is a big possibility that your business didn’t reach its greatest potential and that you are only present locally.
If you have accounts that are not active or aren’t properly managed, your situation is also not ideal.
Okay, now that we have fully understood importance of social media – next, we will highlight their potential regarding your visibility on the biggest social platforms. There are two ways to increase your visibility and reach new clients and partners:
- Organic traffic – this is harder way, but it is definitely worth it. When you want to have potential clients to organically come to visit your profile or website, you have to attract them with high-quality content. This means that your content should be likeable to your current friends so much that they will share it with their friends, who will share with their friends and so on. Content should be dynamic, it should attract and retain attention. Mostly important – it should be unique and it should never be copied. There are “Fact Checkers” – algorithms that easily recognize copy and plagiarism and are very strict with sanctions. That kind of content is also already seen and therefore, you lose your credibility. On the other hand, when algorithms recognize your profile as a maker of quality and good content (which will be confirmed with likes and shares), he will share your profile with those who are interested in such content. This path is harder and longer, but it undoubtedly brings clients who are very interested in your service or product. One additional value of this kind of traffic is that besides time that should be spend on making of content (or you will hire someone to do this) – this is definitely a cheaper variant because it doesn’t include direct advertisements pay.
- Paid advertisement –brings to legit business results by reducing publishing waste. This is directly affecting productivity and efficiency by focusing on proven most efficient ways. Paid advertisement is somehow easier, but more expensive way to get to your potential clients and partners. In this way, you are paying social media (that same algorithm) to find adequate users that could be interested in the product or service. This is definitely a way that saves your energy for creating interesting content (it doesn’t mean that you have a luxury to create boring things because you also have really interesting competition) by promoting your ad directly to interested clients. Also, more you pay to the algorithm – it will be more motivated to find more relevant buyers in shorter time period.
Our opinion that was proven in practical work is that perfection lies in the mix of these two ways. With quality content that you will publish to potential customers and with little, additional help from paid advertisement – your success can be guaranteed.
