LinkedIn's algorithms are crazy. I got restricted multiple times - they claim I've been using third-party tools although I never install extensions in my browser. The support teams behind these social media companies are nuts - I just can't believe they got your account back, Glad they did 🙏🏻

Hey Blake, I’m sure you’ve heard of it but if you haven’t you should check out “Buy Then Build” by Walker Deibel. Great book on acquisition entrepreneurship

What a story! It’s amazing how someone wields the power to shut down an account which can seriously disrupt a business with just the click of a button. And what kind of large company doesn’t have a customer care team that can answer simple questions?

That’s really frustrating but I’m glad you got it figured out in the end!

That’s scary. But I bet in a few months you’ll be glad that it fired up your diversification strategy. I had a similar thing with Facebook ads once, a long time ago. What is an SMB acquisition by the way?

Hey Blake! Bit of a late message to this post, but I would recommend starting with just 1-2 more channels.

It’s easy to over-diversify and not get great at any of them, and you will get never get traction until you become good at how to message each one. Just a tip 😉

Do however diversify, it’s a dangerous game to only be on one platform, as you’ve just experienced.

That's wild. These platforms have so much power and are SO unpredictable.

You need to keep investing in building on twitter. SOOO many early stage founders there.
