55. What happened to your business when Facebook and Instagram were down? Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

This week I'm talking about what happened to my business when Facebook and Instagram were down all day...nothing. That's because I don't run my business ON those platforms, I use them to promote my business. Today I'm talking about the difference.

Let me help you build a website with The Weekend Launch.

This is only available until January 1st then I'm retiring the course forever!

54. Set It Up September | CRM and 17Hats Sep 27, 2021
