If your social channels are down, don't panic and sit around refreshing for hours! Here are some pro tips:


  1. Chill and Check the News:  Pop over to Twitter (since it's a different platform) or Downdetector to see if others are having trouble. This will help confirm it's not just you!

  2. Double-Check Your Login: Once things are back up, make sure your login info is correct. Sometimes during outages, autofill can mess up.

  3. Engage Elsewhere: This is a great time to connect on other platforms or catch up on some offline tasks!

  4. Post About It (Later): Once you're back in, feel free to share some funny outage memes or stories with your followers.


Remember, these outages happen, and staying calm is key. We'll all be back to scrolling and sharing in no time!


If you do it right, social media marketing can be a powerful tool for growing your business.
