Reading Time: 2 min read

Organic Marketing

Organic marketing is about building a brand, not just attracting traffic.
Focus on creating exceptional content that serves your audience, rather than promoting products or services directly.
Use content to build Goodwill and then use ads to drive conversions (give and ask ratio).

Content Strategy

Create content that appeals to a wider audience, but still serve your niche.
Use a "path" format for your content, which consists of promise, proof, and path.
Focus on storytelling, and use lists, steps, and stories to structure your content.

Brand Building

A brand is an association between two things, and it's built through consistency and repetition.
Don't compromise your brand by appearing alongside people or platforms that don't align with your values.
Leverage your tweets as a source of content ideas and inspiration.

Framework Building

Create frameworks to simplify complex processes and reduce decision-making fatigue.
Use data collection and analysis to identify commonalities and create reusable frameworks.

Controversy and Brand

You can't be "canceled" unless a platform completely removes your means of communication.
Focus on creating content that serves your audience, rather than engaging with controversy.

Organic Growth

Start with niche content and gradually expand to a wider audience.
Commit to a content schedule and gradually ramp up the volume to learn what works.
Product-market fit will come from serving your niche audience, even if it's not widely popular.

Agency vs. In-House

Consider using agencies to manage content, but be prepared to pay twice until your in-house team can beat them.
Look for creative directors who have their own vision and can develop a content strategy that aligns with your brand.

Overall, the speech emphasizes the importance of building a strong brand, creating exceptional content, and leveraging data to drive growth.
