January 4, 2022 Leave a Comment Nathan Caddell

If you’re looking to increase your social media reach, you’ve no doubt heard about both organic and paid social media. There are certainly examples of accounts that use one or the other as their primary method of posting.

But the plain truth is that you shouldn’t choose between organic and paid social media tactics. Both approaches can help you get to where you want to go. In fact, it will only help your case to use a combination of the two. More people and brands do so than you probably think.

2022 is on track to be a record-breaking year for ad spend on social media. According to research, global ad spend is projected to exceed 173 billion (sic!) dollars.

In short, that’s gigantic. And it proves that social media ad spending is here to stay.

Of course, there’s another side of that coin too. Often, the only way that you’re going to develop an audience is through organically building brand awareness and earning trust. It’s hard to do that just purely through advertising.

Let’s go through the pros and cons of organic and paid social media tactics, and how you can use both to your advantage.
