🎩 The Day That Facebook Went "POOF!"

Today's Quote “Nobody says you must laugh, but a sense of humour can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected, and smile 😊 through the day.”

Hi Chris and Susan here...

Shock, Horror

Just before 5 pm UK ( midday Eastern USA) yesterday the unexpected happened

Facebook went down as did Instagram and WhatsApp

At first we thought it was our internet but it wasn't

And we were about to announce to the world the launch of our new software!!!

Yikes!

A couple of valuable things came out of that experience

1. Make Sure You Are Building Your List

2. Know that people are addicted to Facebook and Instagram

Just because Mark Zuckerberg was having a bit of trouble in social media land that's no reason to be looking for the next BIG thing on social media and abandoning where people hang out who will join your business

So our advice is this...

Double down and build your brand on the social media platforms you prefer to use and leverage what they have to offer (things like communicating with your tribe, your team, your prospects)

And make sure you are building your email list at the same time

There's a third

Have a website/blog of your own where you can host your own content, build a list and share value

The only pain in the proverbial that we experienced was being unable to launch our Easy As Email ™️ blogging platform

But it will be worth waiting for

Here's what we shared last night about the outage

We settled down to an evening of TV and a cocktail and actually enjoyed the experience of no Facebook pinging us

You always have to look on the good side don't you?

As our friend an mentor said in an email to us all today

"Seriously, I don't know about you but I didn't check Youtube, Pinterest, or whatever new platform everyone is talking about once yesterday...

I reloaded my 2 favourite platforms over and over again and I'm guessing that's what you did too.

So let's not get crazy but instead let's get smart"

We couldn't agree more

We'll be hopping on her live training later today and see what other sage advice she has to offer

Building a business using the tools that are available is not difficult when you put it all into perspective

We'd love to have you join the team

We shared this quote on our Facebook post today:

If social media is the cocktail party, then email marketing is the 'meet up for coffee'

So here you are joining us for a coffee today if that's true

Thanks for joining us here today
