Do You See The Danger Of 100% Relying On Social Media Alone?
(To Promote Your Business And Or Services?)
Entrepreneur are you currently active on social media? If not! You definitely should be! I am too BTW. Just to be clear. (Here’s my Linkedin profile link to prove it.) I want to be crystal clear up front. And be clearly understood.
I’m not against promoting or marketing via social media! I’m strongly suggesting. Do not ever put your business and or service. In a position. Where you’re 100% relying on social media! Because doing so. Is just way too risky! Don’t you agree?
Unless You Personally Own The Social Media Platforms You Heavily Promote Or Advertise On! (Your Livelihood Is At Risk!)
If you’re fairly new to online marketing. (The last 2 or 3 years on less! ) The online platform Hubpages. It had a dot com extension BTW. Was until very recently. An extremely popular, free online platform to post your/our content own.
And way back in early 2010 or 11. I had a very active too. I used to post my marketing concepts, strategies and tactics on the platform all the time. In the hopes of inexpensively attracting some potential consulting clients!
But unbeknownst to me at the time! A potential danger was staring me in the face! But I couldn’t see the obvious, potential danger. Of trying to build my online prescence.
Totally, 100% relying on free social platforms! Because back then. I didn’t have my own, self hosted, WordPress blog. In fact, what ultimately ending up happening to me! Was exactly what, one of my best coaches and mentors!
Warned me to at least be mindful of the possibility! Of it happening! But I stubbornly chose to ignore her well meaning advice!
One day without any prior warning mind you! I went log into my account. But I received an email message from their support team. Saying my account had vilolated one of their policies! (Say what?)
Mind you, I’m only posting about proven marketing, promoting or advertising strategies! What policy did I violate. No matter! They temporarily shut my account down! For about six months!
It’s Definitely Worthwhile To Promote Via Social Media! (But Don’t Rely Solely On It 100%!)
They did ultimately reinstate my account! And I ended up with a total 125 posts/hubs on their platform. But thank goodness. That incident was my wake up call. I learned how to build my own, self hosted WordPress sit!
(With lots of expert help over the years BTW!) You see the screenshot image for this particular post? In early 2026. Literally millions of content creators on the platform. Were notified.
They had X amount of time. To Copy all of their content. Because the platform was being permanently shutdown! Regardless of how much or how little income their content was generating for them!
Are you starting to appreciate “why?” When I get the opportunity to do any guest podcasting. Why I say 100% relying on social media. Is like sleeping on you ex in laws couch! You never know when she’s gonna come home!
And say, “I love you! But you gotta go!” And when she does. Where’s that gonna leave you? Use social media, leverage it as often as possible! Monetize it etc.
Just don’t 100% rely on it! Or your Titanic is headed towards an iceberg! Relying on social media 100% to build and sustain your online business and or service. Is a potentially huge mistake! Don’t you agree?
