I'd also love some support (likes, tweets, stumbles, and comments particularly), with my Unbounce.com Conversion-Fest 2011 Blogging Contest entry. Again, without spamming.. Tell a friend, better yet, tell 10 friends!
So what the heck does organic growth really mean?
It can mean a lot of things but, for our purposes, organic is synonymous with natural. That means you're not pushing hard on people you don't really know; instead, you leverage your warm connections, your natural market, the people that you keep up with often. Those are the folks that trust, like, and/or respect you most.
In SEO or Inbound Marketing terms, organic growth means you are attracting people and retaining some of the new visitors to your online content. This typically means creating content that is remarkable and significant, from a human and search engine perspective alike. My guest article on Unbounce.com explains more on that, from a technical and people-serving perspective.
The idea is to kill the noise and the busy work that has little returns (the average traditional marketing campaign has less than a 1% conversion rate, BTW). Focus on engaging people, rather than marketing. Be remarkable, create some buzz, and do things that compel, motivate, and inspire others so that they'll WANT to act.
Scott Stratten says something similar in his book, UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.
