When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by multiple people all saying something along the lines of “I can’t find your account, it seems you’re suspended. What happened?”
I had no idea what had happened.
Within minutes I went to check and, indeed, I couldn’t log into my account. There was a message telling me “Your account is currently suspended. For more information …”
I then checked my emails and noticed I had an email from X support informing me I was suspended for ”Violating our rules against evading suspension”.
Here’s what that means and why it doesn’t make any sense:
In order to “evade suspension” you first have to 1) get suspended and then 2) create a second account to circumvent your suspension and get back on the platform—which is against the rules.
The thing is.
I only have one account. And I've never been suspended before.
Needless to say, I submitted an appeal and now all I can do is wait. They said I can expect a response in the next 3 to 5 days, but having listened to other people’s experience with X support, this likely translates to “you can expect a response never”.
Either way, I’ll just have to wait and see.
No idea what I’ll do if I don’t get my account back. Also no reason to worry or think about that for now.
With that said.
Let this be a sign for you. A real-life cautionary tale told—and experienced—by yours truly, about the dangers of relying on a social media platform.
Imagine if I hadn’t put in the time and effort to build my email list.
Maybe you’d have realized I was suspended, as many seem to have, maybe you didn’t. Either way, without this email list I wouldn’t have been able to get in touch with you. I wouldn’t be able to get paid anymore, my whole business would DISAPPEAR overnight. Everything I’d done for the past year would’ve been for nothing.
And as my tale now shows you. This can happen to anyone, for reasons that don’t even make any sense at all.
Don’t let it happen to you.
Build your email list. Get your digital insurance. Make your business rely on email, not on a social media account, and learn how to sell through your emails while you’re at it.
This perfectly leads me to my Email Extraordinaire which will teach you exactly how to do all of the above and more.
It is my duty to promote this course and help you avoid that such a terrible fate would destroy all of the efforts you’ve put in.
