What to Do When There’s A Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram Outage- At The Same time!

And no, I’m not talking about the apocalypse.

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp experienced worldwide outages today.

With businesses being so dependent upon these social media platforms for their marketing, branding and audience engagement, when one goes down, let alone three at the same time, marketers are left feeling a void.

It’s like your business suddenly comes to a screeching halt.

You’ve been working on that video that was scheduled to post. You are about to launch a new product. You are raising funds for your charity. You are trying to engage with your audience to increase sales and awareness.

You need social media to be effective in your business.

So what do you do when there’s a temporary outage on the ones you use the most?

Here are a few ideas that can help you remain productive and effective:

1. Focus on that project that you’ve been putting off such as a presentation, report, company newsletter, writing, or graphic design project.

2. Polish up your freebie or lead magnet — content that can be ready to go when Facebook and Instagram are back up again.
