Hey, everyone!

Ugh. Not a great week with the sites being offline for days and still not totally functional! I am exhausted and it is only WEDNESDAY!!! HUMP DAY?? More like MOUNTAIN DAY.....but Bob continues to improve so all is not bad ;-)

Building an online business is not rocket science. In truth, with time and patience and a little help from your friends (points if you know the group!!), and some $$$ spent on tools and training, almost anyone can earn a living online.

The web is a wonderfully open and pretty much level playing field where no one needs to know who you are, your ethnicity, your religion or your lifestyle choices. You can be as transparent or as creative about your identity as you wish.

But no matter how much training we get, or how successful we are as either product creators or affiliate marketers - our business - our livelihood! - is always ultimately in someone else's hands because the services that are the lifeblood of our businesses are services that are owned, managed and controlled by others.

We are always told to build a list, that it is our greatest asset yet we have to entrust that list to external email services, which can shut us off any time they want.

As a content or product creator, we need to have someplace to SELL our products - and that means using a third-party platform such as Etsy, Ecwid or Shopify, and we can lose our account at their discretion at any time.

And having your own website is no guarantee that you are safe, as many in our space learned over the last few days. Many of us were hit by a failed hard drive at a popular web host, and whether through human error or mechanical failure, there were many websites and databases that were lost and unrecoverable.

In the blink of an eye, businesses were lost.

I was fortunate - my sites are more or less intact - although it looks like several days of updates to the various group pages were lost, and about 3 days of emails - so if you emailed me and have not heard back - please re-send! There are a lot of dead links to fix, but all in all, it could have been a lot worse. I am thankful that is all that happened.

But others were not so lucky, and we will be feeling the repercussions of this outage for quite some time.

The bottom line is this: even if your hosting company tells you that they back up your website nightly - you should be backing up your site at least weekly. It's a PITA for sure but consider it your insurance policy.
AND - always export your mailing list from your email service provider weekly, AND after every event. AND...if you use a member management system like aMember - be sure to export your data from there weekly too.

Remember - this is your business! If you had a brick-and-mortar business, you would have insurance to protect against a fire or a break-in - this is NO DIFFERENT!!

Looking for an automated way to backup your WordPress site? I just invested in this one today - it backs up and restores your complete WP site in seconds and LOTS of options (I picked up the 50 site, license but most can get by with the 10 site): WP Reset


UPDATES!!
Kitchen Sink - Rescheduled for July 15th

Our guest speaker for tomorrow's Kitchen Sink has had to reschedule so I am going to reschedule the Kitchen Sink for NEXT THURSDAY! I would have substituted a WordPress session but the site I use for WP demos is not totally functional yet after the server outage so I don't have a site to use right now.

LAST CHANCE!!
ENDING TODAY!

The Affiliate Marketers Little Black Book

A truly pleasant surprise - this book is an absolute gem and only $12!! I have bought $97 courses that did not lay out the path as clearly as this does - and I can tell you from first-hand experience that the steps taught in this book WORK - because I use them myself.

If you are new to affiliate marketing or just want to up your game - this is 35 pages of solid, useable content - it won't break the bank but it WILL help you MAKE bank!

STILL ON THE FENCE??
8 Week Bootcamp: Produce Products from PLR
SEE MY BONUS BELOW!!


Digital Dust: we ALL have it...the PLR that we bought with GREAT intentions and never quite got around to using. And every so often we check out our hard drive or GDrive or DropBox and are thrilled to see all of that great stuff we scored...but it still sits there.

Buying great content is only a great deal if you USE it. If you use it to make money - it is an investment....if not, it is just one more unrecoverable expense on your balance sheet.

If this sounds like you - then there is one investment you might want to consider today because it WILL give you a great ROI: D’vorah Lansky's new 8 Week Bootcamp: Produce Products from PLR

Throughout this eight-week, interactive program, you’ll discover a wide variety of ways to organize, transform, and sell the PLR products you’ve purchased:
  • Locate and organize the PLR and commercial use rights products that you’ve purchased.
  • Re-purpose dated planners from previous years and make them current for today and into the future.
  • Take an inside look into several products, created by leading content creators in our community, and explore ways to turn these gems into other products.
  • Discover ways to redesign content you’ve purchased by changing colors, design elements and themes.
And a peek at the schedule of events:
  • Week 1: Organize Your PLR and Explore the Possibilities
  • Week 2: Becky Beach: Working with Undated Planners
  • Week 3: Carmen Chan: Strategies for Selling Productivity Planners
  • Week 4: Sue Fleckenstein: Ways to Transform Workbooks and Planners
  • Week 5: Faith Lee: Working with Dated Calendar Templates
  • Week 6: Lynette Chandler: Create a Collection of Three-Column Products
  • Week 7: Melody Wigdahl (ME!!): Customize and Sell Digital Planners without Having to Make Them Yourself
  • Week 8: Package and Sell Your Products and Develop a Momentum Plan
PLEASE NOTE: All sessions are conducted by D'vorah - the content creators will not be on the live sessions. All sessions will be recorded and replays will be available to accommodate everyone's schedules & time zones.

And D'vorah has a TON of bonuses and new products that you will be getting as part of the training - since most PLR products do not allow the buyer to give away the editable source files, you’ll receive a personal use booklet of the products created each week. Additionally, one of your bonuses from D'vorah is a collection of templates with PLR rights!

If looking at the stash of PLR that you have accumulated makes you a
little bit nauseous ...you really need to consider this Bootcamp -
it's better than a magic wand to create $$$ out of dust....
