Ok, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic (and morbid - poor Twitter bird) but I'm here to make a point. Facebook and Instagram went down recently again! This time for hours, making April’s over 20 minutes scare look like nothing, and it even took WhatsApp with them.

Let’s face it! Instagram glitches constantly (due to them updating - like all the time)

It's SOOO annoying.

But what if social media wasn't there tomorrow?

What if someone hacked your account and you lost everything you've done on Facebook?

All those dms on IG? Can't access them.

It's an actual legit thing that can and has happened. Here are a few tips on how to not make this your living nightmare!

First of all - 2 Factor Authentication is a must. You can turn this on for most sites that need logins and even though that extra step can be annoying - it could save your sanity in the future. Essentially, you get a text with a code any time someone (even you) tries to log in to your account. Put in the code and be on your merry way.

Need more help with this - I have a training in my FB group about this!

My 2nd tip?

Get yourself an email list. Stat.

Did you know that email lists convert to sales 73% more often than on social media?

Yep, I said it. The IG coach is telling you to not sell on IG. If you don't use an email list for your business - you are freaking missing out on money.

I personally use and love Flodesk.

It's so easy and dare I say…fun to use!
