Did Instagram Suspend You?

Hosted by: James Patrick

It's a couple times a year we try to get on Instagram and the app doesn't seem to be loading correctly. Then, we immediately go to Twitter to check to see if Instagram is down or if people are using the hashtag #instagramdown. Maybe we go to downdetector.com and see if others are reporting outages.

But on October 31st when a lot of people got on Instagram, they received a message that said, "We suspended your account. There are 30 days remaining to disagree with this decision."

Then the app wouldn't let them contest it.

Let's dive into what happened and why it matters.

"You do not own your Instagram following."

IN THIS EPISODE

  • A recap of what happened with Instagram on 10/31.
  • Being too reliant on Instagram.
  • The cost for renting your audience and what you don't get.
  • Investing your time and energy into new channels.
  • Ways you should be connecting with your audience.
  • Should you send SMS messages?
  • Why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
