Most of the time, when competition businesses talk about growth, it’s all about scaling the company and sky-rocketing profits. And that is part of growth, of course, but really, growth is much more complex than just that. It comprises two main parts. 

Growth = Paid Media + Organic Media.

Paid media is, essentially, paid advertising. It places ads in search results, on social media, and on websites. Its purpose is to drive traffic, raise awareness, and boost conversions, but for a fee. 

It’s handy, there’s no doubt about that, but to truly succeed, you shouldn’t outsource everything to paid media. You should combine paid media with your efforts, too. There’s lots you can do yourself, even if it might take longer to pay off than ads.

That’s what organic media is all about. This is any content you create for your social media, blog, or website without having paid a penny for promotion. It wholly relies on natural discovery — like in the good ol’ days! — engaged users, and high-quality content. It takes time, creativity, and patience, but it’s worth it for the long-lasting customer relationships you’re about to build.  

Uh oh, looks like we just spoiled what this article will cover. Best get into it now!
