So currently, the three social media Giants are down and a lot of influencers like myself have been hit with the hard truth - we don't have control of our income.

All the likes, engagements and all were just for growing the social media itself to increase more engagements and activity for that particular social media (be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc).

But thank God for MJ DeMarco for opening my eyes to the CENTS framework.

Immediately I saw my community growing fast and I was gradually becoming an influencer, I read deeply about the commandment of Control in the CENTS FRAMEWORK and I quickly started my own forum. Now that other Influencers are waiting for Facebook to come back on, I have taken back my control as I am engaging my followers on my forum (over 6000 members and counting).

N/B: IF YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF YOUR AUDIENCE, THEN YOU ARE ONE DECISION AWAY FROM LOSING YOUR BUSINESS COMPLETELY.

I wonder where are the 20 years old kids in Instagram Right NOW being flashy?!?

Demarco is right in his latest book. Start email listing and make sales through email.

An outage like this -> Social Media Becomes Supplementary to the Primary

Messenger is down too. That's a bummer.

Just as well I've been using Telegram much more to keep in contact with folks.

On the positive side, people have to find something better to do with their lives for a second.

Good reminder that we don't need any of that to connect with each other

Shucks! The storm ended. The pain wasn't long enough. A month would be good at least they would have had a chance to unplug.

They should consider shutting down Social Media 6 hours every day.

Not addicted to any of these mediums, but boy if it did, I’d be losing my mind when the servers are down!
