What is Organic Marketing?

Organic marketing is a simple, actionable strategy for gaining more free traffic by creating value for your audience. It’s about building an entire strategy around content creation and distribution that will naturally attract visitors who are interested in your product or service offering. 

Organic marketing is the opposite of outbound marketing, which is expensive and time-consuming. Organic marketing focuses on finding the people who are already interested in what you’re selling (or the problem you’re solving) and delivering value to them through content that builds trust and credibility.

Examples of Organic Marketing

  • Unpaid social media posts on social media channels like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok, Snapchat, etc.
  • Blogging 
  • Guest posts
  • Use email marketing and newsletters to nurture leads.
  • Online PR and link generation
  • User-generated content
  • SEO (search engine optimization)
  • Video content on YouTube

How to get started with Organic Marketing

To start with organic marketing you need to build an organic marketing strategy. Building this strategy helps to get free traffic and leads.

Step 1: Analyze your audience’s current traffic habits.

Research and get information on your audience’s traffic habits and compare them to your current content strategy. It’s also important to discover where you get the most organic traffic presently. Is it from your email newsletters, social media posts, or YouTube channel? Does your audience rely on industry publications, social media, or review sites to discover a business like yours? Determining this helps you know where to channel your energy.

Step 2: Create and maximize content.

Create new and reusable content: Develop a content pool that can work for you even when you don’t have anything to publish. This way, you can easily adapt and create educational content and resource materials for your audience to learn from at any time. Categories and content forms include blog posts, videos, and podcasts.

Step 3: Optimize your content.

Optimize your website and social media: Optimization would not only let your audience read, review and engage with your content. It would keep them returning to your blog site or social media page. Elements like your website structure, brand color & design, style, and loading speed are important to attract and retain your audience and even get them to reshare your content.

Make your content mobile-friendly: Most users access content on social media platforms and blogs on their mobile devices. So, to create an effective organic marketing strategy, you need to optimize all your content for mobile devices. This means using a responsive website and getting each platform’s image dimensions right.

Step 4: Evaluate and improve.

Keep your team in the loop: Successful organic marketing requires all teams to know the customer’s needs. By informing and engaging the team, you can evaluate progress or faults in any department (content creation, graphics design, video creation, etc.) and determine the next line of action together. This would also help you to figure out how to get things done faster and more consistently.

Examples of Organic Marketing Strategies you can Implement

  • Email marketing: Everyone with a mobile device probably has an email address, so setting up an email newsletter to send product and business updates is one of the best ways to reach your customers.
  • Social media: An active social presence on relevant social media platforms or channels can help you reach a broader audience. The content you create and share should be relevant to your audience, and must be good enough for them to want to share it with people with similar needs/interests. This may require you to invest in quality photography/videography equipment and even build interest in managing some of these platforms. Investing in developing content for the platform relevant to your niche is also very important. We’ve got several posts on tips and ways to grow your social media, and you can access these posts here.
  • Community building/management: The best way to build and engage with your online community is by staying in touch with your followers. Engaging with posts, reposting user-generated content, creating posts that respond to inquiries from your followers, replying to their comments and reviews, and hosting conversations on trending topics. These are ways you can create a bond with your community.
  • Link building: You can create lots of content like blog posts and guest posts on other websites. This way, you can build traffic to your website and bring more tailored leads to your business. You’ll also be able to show your expertise and be regarded as an authority within your niche.

How to Maximize Organic Marketing

Using organic marketing effectively can get you more visitors and leads without spending money on ads or paying for PPC (Pay-Per-Click) listings in Google Search results pages (SERPs).

However, there are additional tactics you can always have in mind to maximize organic marketing for your brand/business:

  • Frequently track/analyze the performance of your organic marketing efforts.
  • Create relevant blog posts that solve real problems for your audience.
  • Automate certain relevant processes so you can consistently get value for your efforts. For example, schedule and automate your social media posts, automate emails, etc.
  • Create valuable videos that educate your audience about useful topics.
  • Design powerful infographics that break down technical knowledge or explain complex topics in an easy-to-understand format.
  • Build relationships with influencers (people who have built a substantial following) in your industry who can share your content with their followers.

While implementing these different tactics, it’s also important to harmonize your efforts to attain the best results. 

This means creating and implementing a marketing strategy and using the right tools to actualize your efforts.
