Social media has changed the way people interact with one another, even though the battle between organic and paid social media is still in full swing.

Organic posts are still a powerful way to gain followers and maintain likes on a brand's page.

Though the impact might not be as high as they once were, they are still more desired by users than paid posts, as our guest points out. The significant difference, however, is that it has evolved from just a one-way street to two-way communication. Brands must focus on building relationships with their followers to keep them engaged.

If you get frustrated with the lack of engagement, low reach and poor results, Dorien Morin-van Dam will help. She’s a good friend we met over seven years ago at Social Media Marketing World. She will show us why organic social is NOT dead and what we can do about it!

Let’s jump in!
