You are not obligated to advertise

Do you know how many competitors you have if you post a message on Facebook right now? 1200. There are 1200 messages waiting for you when you log in to Facebook (or another social media channel). How do you make sure that you are at the top with your message on social media? And then also achieve the desired results?
This has everything to do with engaging in interaction. Being social on social media. And then making sure that people start to show the right behavior, such as responding to your message and/or clicking through to your website. I was present at Social Media Week Holland and share the most important lessons with you.
You can still reach your followers organically (without advertising). In fact, Elja Daae whatsapp number list said: “It’s a waste to only advertise when you already have thousands of followers on your profile (like many big companies). After all, they’ve already said: ‘I want to follow you and hear more from you!’”.
And of course, one reinforces the other and it can be valuable to advertise a lot when your social media profiles are still in their infancy. You simply reach more people much faster by advertising.
But you are absolutely not dependent on advertisements, if you want to grow on social media. It just requires patience and especially a lot of interaction to grow organically. Dennis de Winter and Elja Daae both mentioned it at the event:
relationships. We want to be liked and reciprocity plays an important role in this. If you write in an article: "This article was given as a gift by..." and then call for membership, the reader gets the feeling that he has received something and must give something back.
