Hey everyone, with all the changes to social media algorithms and the push for paid ads, it feels like organic growth is really hard now. Do you think it’s still possible to build a brand organically this year? Or do we have to rely on paid ads? Would love to hear what you’re doing to get more organic reach!

Honestly, you can’t depend solely on organic growth anymore. It’s a long game. But we use organic strategies as a bonus to our main channel, which is Google Search Ads. About 20% of our customers come from organic, and this is how we do it:
- We publish a blog post every week using Frizerly.
- We share these posts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
- Some of these posts appear in Google search results, which helps us get organic traffic.
Hope this helps a little!
People have been saying organic is dead since around 2010 when Facebook ads started blowing up. But organic isn’t gone; it just can’t be your only method for growth. You need a mix of organic and paid strategies.
Use organic to build engagement and test out what works (content, formats, etc.), then boost the posts that do well with some paid ads. That’s how we manage it!
Organic growth is much slower than it used to be. I’d recommend a 70/30 split between organic content and paid ads to stay visible. Try to focus on short videos or other visual content to grab attention. Forget about algorithms and focus on what your audience responds to. Also, always be experimenting with new content styles.
You can still grow using organic strategies that match your business goals. It’s not dead, but it needs to be part of a bigger strategy.
Nope, organic growth isn’t dead. You just need to get familiar with how the algorithms work on each platform.
What do you think about Instagram’s algorithm? Any tips or ideas on how it works?
To get quick results, start with paid ads. After you get traffic, your organic posts will start to play a bigger role. Paid ads drive people to your page, but keeping them there is all about how good your organic content is.
You can still grow organically if you focus on real engagement, creating valuable content, and keeping up with trends. Building a community and working with others can also help your reach.
While paid ads can be effective, a good organic strategy still gets results if done right.
Organic growth isn’t dead, but it’s definitely tougher. Brands need to focus more on staying creative, using trends, and working with their audience. It’s still possible to grow, but it takes effort and consistency.
It’s still very much alive, but it’s slow. Each platform is different, so you’ll need to try different approaches for each one. The key is to take your time, test different strategies, and you’ll eventually see results.

It’s possible! You need to learn how the algorithm works and make a lot of video content. People spend a lot of time scrolling and watching videos, so take advantage of that. But keep in mind that it depends on your target audience too.
If your content goes viral, you’ll see growth. If not, it’s going to be a slow process.
Depends on the industry. Fashion, food, and kids’ content still have space for organic growth.
The trick is to create content like a creator, not a brand. Audiences want to see authentic content, not polished brand material.
It’s not dead, but it really depends on the industry. I’ve grown an IG account to 50k, but that was for a fun niche. Working with roofing clients? That’s a different story. Some industries will always be harder to grow than others.
No way. I’ve been working in social media since MySpace was around. Today, I help businesses grow using Instagram and have made millions for clients. The key is, most people are still marketing like it’s 2008.
It depends on how you approach social media. Are you focusing on building real connections or just chasing numbers? Big difference.
It’s super competitive and harder than it used to be, but it’s not dead.
