Are they lost forever? Are you now starting over on the next social media website?
Building your list independent of the social media websites helps you to keep your followers for the long-term and allows you to alert them when you take up using another social media avenue. Building your list with an independent Email Marketing tool is the way to keep your followers, as the web evolves and fads come and go.
