SPI 869: Stop Renting Your Audience. Do ...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#869 Imagine spending years building an audience on social media. Slowly, your followers begin to know, like, and trust you. You're now making sales, and everything is going well. Then one day, it's all gone. You can't access your account, and the platform you were using won't do anything to help. This is what happened to me when I was using Facebook. I got hacked, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had to start from scratch. That's why email is the most important platform for your business. It's your insurance policy and the best way to own the audience you've grown! So listen in on this episode because I share the three key pillars of email marketing! Everything from accounts getting suspended or shadowbanned to algorithm changes can affect our livelihoods. Join me to learn how to protect yourself, have a direct line to your audience, and make more sales! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session869.
