Welcome back to Biscotti & Bracelets.
I have noticed a lot of debating in the Blogging community lately over social media networks and whether or not bloggers should be active on all social media channels.
Last week some Twitter users were having issues accessing their accounts. Some people had their accounts shut down while others lost followers and could not get their followers back.
This was a major eye opener for me personally.
Twitter has always been my most active and my favorite social media network. Luckily, I was not affected by the “ Twitter Glitch”.
However, as I said this should be an eye opener for all of us bloggers. If Twitter goes down or glitches again, how many followers would you lose? I know I would lose most of my social media following.
I have a tendency to focus on Twitter and Instagram. These are my absolute favorites. Pinterest comes in next, YouTube, and last is Facebook. I very rarely use Facebook. In fact I just started a Facebook page for the blog a few weeks ago.
Personal opinion:
Yes, you should be on at least four social media channels. Do you have to be a Rock Star on everyone? No, but try to be active and communicate with your followers. Encourage your followers to follow you on all networks.
Plan ahead and always have a Plan B in case of algorithms or shutdowns.
