The diference between Organic Content vs. Ads

Imagine you’re trying to tell your friends about a cool new restaurant.

• Option 1: Yell it from a rooftop. You might get some attention, but people might think you’re a bit annoying.
• Option 2: Tell your friends directly. They’re more likely to listen, trust you, and maybe even go check it out.

That’s kind of like the difference between ads and organic content.

Ads are like yelling from a rooftop. They can reach a lot of people quickly, but they can feel a bit pushy. People might even ignore them or find them annoying.

Organic content is like telling your friends.things like:

• Writing blog posts that are helpful and interesting.
• Sharing videos that are funny or informative.
• Posting on social media about things you care about.

When you create this kind of content, you’re having a conversation with your audience. You’re showing them who you are and what you stand for.

Why is organic content better?

• People trust it more: It feels more genuine and less “salesy.”
• It lasts longer: A good blog post can continue to bring in new visitors for months or even years.
• It’s more cost-effective: You don’t have to pay to show your content to people.

But ads still have their place!

Ads can be a great way to:

• Reach a wider audience quickly.
• Boost your organic content.
• Test out new ideas.

The best approach is often a mix of both. Use ads to get people’s attention, and then use organic content to build relationships and keep them coming back for more.
