On March 5th at about 10:00 in the morning, Facebook went down. Instagram went down, too. The outage didn’t last long, but it had an impact on so many business owners, especially those who rely heavily on social media. That day, Meta was only down for a short while, but what if it was down for the day? The week? The month? What if it went away for good?

Do you have systems in place to reach your audience outside of social media?

Be ready for the next social media outage - and it’s a near certainty there will be one - by making sure you have three things in place.

Diversified platforms
Are you only on Meta? Do you only engage with your audience on Facebook and Instagram?
You need to have a presence somewhere else - TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
Actively engage and build your followings there.
Email list
Email doesn’t depend on social media. You own your email list!
It is SO EASY to send an email when you’ve been building your list all year.
