Hi, Everyone!

I am sure that many of you are also on Ruthie Bowers mailing list, and have probably already heard about the extremely stressful evening she had last night! If not, Birdsend, which we both use for our mailing lists, suspended her account without notice last night for violation of their Acceptable Use Policy. Ruthie and I went over their AUP with a fine-tooth comb last eve and discovered that there have been substantial changes to it since we signed up, and to be honest, many make NO sense at all since the service is built for content creators and focuses on helping you track your SALES per email and subscriber. Ruthie immediately downloaded her most current lists and was prepared to use her other service if needed, so the overall impact would be minimal. Stressful but minimal!

Everything worked out okay as it turned out to be a 'technical glitch' but when you also look at the fact that Facebook shut down my account last month, along with Alice Seba's account, you have to take redundancy for your core business platforms and services very seriously. Back up your email lists at least once a week, and your website as often as makes sense for your content schedule. Losing one or 2 blog posts is not a big deal - losing 2 years of content is catastrophic.

Yes, redundancy can be an added expense, but it can be a lifesaver too. Most email services will let you transfer your list over today but may require that you slowly warm the list up to prove that it is a valid list - and that can impact your regular revenue stream. Alternating between 2 services can be a headache, but prevents this process should one service shut you down. For. Whatever. Violation. They. Have. Imagined.

Use your primary service 5 days a week, and your secondary the other 2, or whatever your schedule is. Download your lists every Monday, and keep a copy on your local drive and a second copy in GDrive or Dropbox.

It's your business, your livelihood, and no matter how much you love your current provider - always remember that you are just a tenant on their platform. They can raise the rent or evict your little tush anytime they choose! Create redundancy for everything!!
