Shadowbanned

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

I'm not gonna beat around the bush here.

This email is a blatant promo of the upcoming workshop Adriana Tica is doing this Thursday the 25th on growing an audience without social. ​

Why might you need this?

Look, social is important in reaching more people.

But the networks are cracking down on you "deplatforming" people. Or, in simple terms, they don't want you redirecting people from their platform to your site.

So that means social posts with...

  • Links
  • Engagement bait
  • Anything else that doesn't align with the platform's goals

Will get you shadowbanned.

Adriana shared something on LinkedIn recently on how to check if you've been shadowbanned and, surprise surprise, I have been.

If you wanna check go to your LinkedIn profile > creator tools and look for the below section.

If the "Follow link" is greyed out with a "learn more" link like below then you've been shadowbanned.

Which means the platform will show your posts to fewer people and you'll get much lower engagement.

I've now gotta work on getting this lifted which is a pain in the arse.

It shows that building on other people's land is a dangerous game.

And that you should be doing everything you can to own the relationship and your funnels for better growth.

Which is exactly what the workshop with Adriana is about.

Big thanks to Adriana and her deep knowledge of this stuff for helping me find this out.

She's gonna be sharing more awesome info in the workshop on Thursday.

If you want to join the workshop on Thursday and start growing your audience on your terms and without having to jump through the hoops social platforms lay out, check out the full details below.

Yo! Quick one. I’m opening up 3 1:1 spots to help people install the exact system I’ve used to: Bring in daily buyers Turn 5–10% into $5K to $25K clients Add $50K+ profit to businesses doing $10K+ months No extra team. No complex funnel builds. No content treadmill. Just one system, done properly. It’s not fully open yet ( still finalising the structure and price) but I wanted to give you a heads-up since you’ve already bought from me before. If you’re even slightly interested in scaling with...

Hey, Let’s keep this simple. ACCER Model Builders closes tonight. Now, is this a fake countdown designed to trick you into buying? No. I’m not going to pretend the program disappears off the face of the earth after tonight. But here’s the truth: This is an evergreen offer… … I’ll probably run it again.… But I have no idea when.… Might be next month.… Might be never. And if you’ve been reading these emails, watching the video, and nodding along thinking, “Yeah, this actually sounds like what I...
