Ever felt like the rug was pulled from under you? I've been building my audience and activities, set up my ad strategies and ready to launch a new campaign to introduce my new offers to the public, Guess what? Just woke up and found my Facebook account was suspended, all my accounts were linked, Facebook and Instagram, from my personal brand to my business brands I've had people reach out to me, gotten calls asking what happened As much as I have heard this happening to people, I never imagined it happening to me, so I wasn't prepared Pending deals left hanging, footprints erased, momentum lost, imagine the feeling I'm still honestly processing it, while deciding and figuring out other alternatives to us, while hoping the attend to the appeal I submitted last week Facebook and Instagram were the two platforms I understood the most, thinking of learning new platforms feels like a lot of work. The one thing that's keeping me going is the podcast/training from Russell talking about THE RESISTANCE and how it shows up in many ways trying to keep you from the dream life/goal I'm still navigating this and I know I'd get past it, I hope I get those back

Most business owners obsess over their pages. Headlines. Buttons. Scarcity timers. But they completely ignore the moment before the page ever loads. When you drop a link into Messenger.. iMessage.. WhatsApp.. Instagram.. X.. wherever.. The platform doesn’t just show a naked URL. It generates a preview. Title. Description. Image. This is powered by something called OpenGraph. It’s been around forever. And most people do absolutely nothing with it. Worst case scenario? You never set a sharing image in ClickFunnels. So what shows up? The ClickFunnels logo. Unless you’re trying to promote ClickFunnels as an affiliate.. that’s not what you want representing your brand. Even if you did set a workspace image, guess what? That same image gets used across every funnel by default. Which means.. Every share looks the same. No positioning. No tailored hook. No intentional copy. I've never heard anyone say this.. but to me.. The preview is the pitch. That little box that shows up when you drop a link? That’s a mini ad. You get: A headline. A short body copy. A custom image. That’s real estate. And to a direct marketer, that’s opportunity. Instead of hoping someone clicks… You sell the click. You write the OpenGraph title like a headline. You write the description like teaser copy. You design the image like a scroll-stopping ad. And here’s the part most people don’t realize: Every funnel step can have its own custom social preview. Front door. Side door. 35-step monster funnel. Each one can have its own positioning. If you’re not customizing this.. You’re wasting a first impression. And in this game, everything is a conversion. Even the click before the click. 🚀 - James
