So any of you social media adventurers probably know that both platforms Facebook and Instagram were down for some time this week due to... well who really knows.  I thought it was the perfect prompt to make an episode about this though. It's not smart to get yourself too comfortable with these platforms, or any platform for that matter. They will die.  All good things come to and end and it might be a time to come... but it will happen.  So what would you do if you were running an Instagram account with 150k followers and Instagram went down tomorrow?  Do you have a blog so that you can keep your affiliate links alive?  Do you have a podcast so that people can still hear what you have to say?  Do you have a YouTube channel, so that you can still keep everyone updated with what you're doing?  It's a good idea to diversify on social media, even when you're putting all of your attention and focus into one.  This is what will keep you ahead when your platform goes down, and while everyone scrambles, you can jump on to the backups real quick, and be up and running in no time.  Please share this episode with someone. They need to know.  _______________- Reach out to me! Instagram: @jrpbusiness Website: justinrp.net Email: justinrp56@gmail.com
