WELL DONE YOU! you did it!! It is interesting reading the comments. So many people are feeling the same. And there is the very good marketing strategy of being where your customers are - and they are leaving FB and Insta. In droves. And they are likely coming right here to Substack. Your idea for coffee mornings is great! I had a situation recently when I joined a belly dancing group local to me. They assumed I was on Facebook and were not really prepared for anyone NOT being on there. But I just said - you can text me if a meeting is cancelled. Done. Easy as that. I feel schools should be sending texts or emails and not relying on FB. Yes we managed before FB and it is not as if we have to go back to how it was then. We have websites now and smart phones with texts. We will be ok.And we will be free from manipulation through the dreaded feed and shadowbans... Oh I am so never going back!
SO many people are feeling the same. It's really interesting. I never even thought about how this is the marketing strategy of "being where my customers are" but you're right! So that's a bonus! The time without Facebook has been amazing. I am excited to leave Instagram too but that's taking me a bit longer with moving what I don't want to lose. Getting there though and then I feel I'll really be free! Glad to see things are going well for you too. Love your posts!
