Are you a CEO or entrepreneur looking to navigate the ever-changing world of digital marketing? At Go Digital with Mary, our blog is designed with YOU in mind—busy leaders who need actionable insights and proven strategies to grow their businesses online.
Look, let’s cut the fluff and get straight to the point: social media content and organic marketing aren’t just “nice-to-haves” anymore; they’re essential. Whether you’re selling homes, sneakers, or cupcakes, the game is the same. It’s about attention. And right now, the attention of your audience is on their phones—scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
If you’re not showing up there, you’re not in the game. Period.
Let me make this simple: content is how people find you. It’s your calling card. It’s your first impression, your salesperson, and your brand voice all rolled into one. When you create meaningful, authentic content that resonates with your audience, you’re planting seeds for future sales. And the best part? You don’t need a huge ad budget to make an impact.
Organic marketing—posting content that delivers value without asking for something in return—is a long-term play. It’s about creating trust, building relationships, and showing people you care. The ROI isn’t always immediate, but when it hits? It’s massive.
Let’s break it down.
Forget about dropping $10K on a billboard that nobody under 50 is even looking at. Organic social media content costs you nothing but your time. With one well-thought-out post, you can reach thousands—sometimes millions—of people. That’s the power of platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. One viral video can change your business overnight.
Real brands don’t just sell; they connect. Through consistent, authentic content, you become more than just a product or service—you become a trusted resource. A real estate agent posting tips about home staging or how to negotiate better deals isn’t just selling houses; they’re positioning themselves as an expert.
Trust equals sales. And trust is built through providing value upfront.
This is where the magic happens. When you post consistently, people start engaging with you. They comment, they DM, they share your stuff. Before you know it, you’ve got a community of people who know, like, and trust you. And when it’s time for them to buy, guess who they’re thinking of? You.
Every post you create is a piece of digital real estate. It lives on the internet forever. That one blog, video, or carousel post you made in 2022? Someone might discover it in 2024 and become a customer. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
When you show up organically, without throwing money at ads, people know it’s real. They know you’re not just trying to sell them something—they feel like they’re part of the journey. And that emotional connection? It’s priceless.
Here’s the truth: most people don’t post because they’re scared. Scared of being judged. Scared of not getting likes. Scared of looking dumb. But guess what? Nobody cares. The internet is so fast-paced that if one post flops, people will forget about it in a heartbeat.
What matters is that you start. Start posting. Start experimenting. Start engaging.
At the end of the day, the market decides. If you’re not creating content and investing in organic marketing, you’re leaving money on the table. You’re letting your competitors win the attention war while you sit on the sidelines.
The best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is today. So, pick up your phone, record a video, write a post, or share something that delivers value to your audience. Do it consistently, and watch your business grow.
Because in 2024 and beyond, if you’re not in the content game, you’re not in the game at all.
Go make some noise.
