My Friend's Business Account was Suspended!

How can you insulate your business from random suspensions and bans on your social media accounts?

Sadly, for many, this means the account you post from has to avoid the controversial topics that you may feel a need to comment on.

But even if you keep your main account vanilla, it is still possible for your account to be banned, suspended, or even deleted due to system problems, or mistakes. Sometimes you can appeal, sometimes you can't.

So, what happens when your profile, or your group, or your page gets deleted or hidden? If you depend only on the social media platforms, you might lose your connection with all your followers.

This is why you must do everything you can to build your own list of people that you can contact independently of these "platforms". That means a list of fanatic fans who you regularly send emails to, who look for your emails, open them, and will support you.

You need a system that can send them emails, and you need some content that you send them every week. It can be as simple as your favorite meme or two that week, and even just links to your favorite instagram and facebook posts, or YouTube videos that you found or posted that week.

Another strategy is to build a YouTube channel focused on your customers. YouTube is a cool place to build content that stays online for long periods of time, and videos can slowly gather more and more daily visitors as the months go by. YouTube is the second largest search engine, after Google. It can also be an extra revenue stream for your business. 100's of thousands are now earning a significant extra income from their YouTube channels.
