Yesterday was a blackout for Facebook and Instagram. Today Facebook is in court with the “whistleblower” and how they are directing the content you see on social media.
Which we knew was happening simply because we could talk about a product and the next thing you know it is all over your accounts talking about it.
Weird… maybe… invasion of privacy … ugh yes …. but is also a risk we take using the platform along with using the controls buttons we have access to as much as possible.
I was drying my hair this morning and stopped to come to send this email to you…
Thank goodness there are no videos that I know of going out with it.
Anyone who has been in network marketing/business knows that email is important in case we have black-out days on social media.
To use other platforms besides just Facebook and Instagram to grow a following. Since we don’t own them they have made us all – including me – addicted to the apps.
People say they aren’t but they were all back on social yesterday evening. It is ok if they want to act like they didn’t notice. (152 Comments on this post said they did)
Here is the reason for the blog today…
Lots of good, respectable leaders teach email marketing, they teach how to speak to people in messages, and they promote using social platforms…
Yesterday people were sending out emails that normally don’t or maybe not as much. I got several emails talking about the shutdown.
Then…
On Facebook, those same leaders were making fun of people who were actually sending out emails…
WTF….
Can we say confusion?
How about switch the conversation to high-fiving people for having it in place and not social shaming people for sending out the emails they should have been using – 🙈 – DEEP BREATH.
✔This post is to tell you – good job!

✔ I hope you enjoyed your day without social media. The birds still sing when it is shut down.
I am in a community that talks about social selling without all the hype, it is a no BS zone, flushes a lot of what you may have been taught that doesn’t work for most people. I get nothing in return for sharing the community with you except seeing you get the results you are looking for PLUS for you to tag me inside so I can give you a shout. <DSDG>
Network Marketing has a lot of hype. I am over the BS. O-V-E-R-I-T!
I want to see you make some simple cash – not rolling in bowls of money, all though it is possible.
I am done… I need to go re-wet my hair to get these wild curls under control. Put on some makeup and show up on social media like a sassy, smart ass that I can be.
See you there,
Angela
