With organic reach diminishing, is social media headed for a bumpy future whereby the only way to get noticed is to pay for it?

Our guest on this episode of Social Pros, Michael Stelzner, the Founder of Social Media Examiner, certainly thinks so, stating, “marketers gulp as customer acquisition costs rise,” and he’s not wrong.

According to Mark Zuckerburg, there are 7 million active advertisers on Facebook. That’s a lot of competition and the cost of advertising is rising rapidly with no sign of slowing down. Not only that, but more than half of all Google’s organic search results end in zero clicks.

So, what can marketers do to be seen in an age where organic reach seems to be on the way out? You’ll have to listen to this episode of Social Pros to find out!
