32 \\ The Ultimate 5-Step Guide to Relationship Marketing and Organic Marketing for Small Business Owners

Are you posting daily, commenting consistently, and still struggling to start real conversations? Wondering why your comments aren’t turning into DMs or sales?
If you're doing all the “right” things but still hearing crickets, you're not alone.
There’s a smarter way to approach small business marketing, one rooted in real connection, not just reach. You don’t need fancy funnels. What you need is a new way to show up in the comments, because that’s where authentic relationships begin.
In this episode, I’m sharing five powerful comment types that spark online connection and lead to meaningful engagement. You’ll learn how to move beyond generic replies and start conversations that matter. Most people treat comments like a to-do list: emojis, “love this,” or “great post.” But that’s not how you build social media engagement or trust. If you’re ready to comment with purpose, this is your blueprint.
Whether your goal is to nurture leads or figure out exactly how to get clients from social media, these strategies are designed to work for real people in real conversations.
This is relationship marketing done right. Clear, personal, and rooted in organic marketing that actually converts.
