What we learnt during the black out…

Everyone who owns a business needs to look at other social media platforms to start promoting on and building an audience with, because if it were to happen again for just as long, you don’t know how much it is going to effect your business. 

The blackout Holy Trinity, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are all owned by the same company, hence why they were all down at the same time. Where as Twitter and TikTok were both up and thriving, with more users than ever visiting both of the social media platforms. Another site that was up was LinkedIn, crucial for businesses all over the world, if you haven’t already, start a LinkedIn page for your business as it is crucial in times like these.

But hey, could you imagine this 20 years ago?

It is wild how much the average person relies on social media to keep them entertained, people were going nuts over on Twitter talking about this! It is important that we all take time away from our personal social media accounts every now and then to really embrace the real world, that we often forget about. On a different note from that, it is also insane how we can use social media as a tool to market online to customers, the new era of technology is amazing for business.
