Until the beginning of 2025, I had not truly considered whether it was possible to run a company without engaging with Meta’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp).
Ever since the beginning of Manic Metallic’s life in 2020, we had primarily gotten the word out about our projects and initiatives by using the platforms of Mark Zuckerberg. While they can be convenient, there are numerous problems with them, among them the following things:
- Constant algorithmic changes putting small business owners at a disadvantage
- Increasing security concerns
- A politicized, chaotic environment fed, in part, by the actions of Mr. Zuckerberg
So, in 2025, we left.
Here’s what we used to build an online presence and thrive without Meta.
Our Current Online Ecosystem:
- Substack for our newsletter and for audience updates
- Linkedin for our professional announcements
- Youtube for both long- and short-form videos
- TikTok for informative and fun short-form content that can be powerful at reaching a local audience.
- Pinterest for drawing traffic to our company website (and for visual inspiration)
