6 GET BACKUP! One of the worst things that can happen in your online business is your website crashing, and you do not have backup. That would be a BIG disaster. About Aloted Omoba Aloted Omoba (pseudonym) lives in Essex UK. She is married to an awesome guy and they have two amazing children: a four year old daughter and a six month old son. To avoid any catastrophe, always backup your site. For backup I would recommend to use a free backup plugin called Ready! Backup if you use WordPress, and you can send the backup to your Dropbox account, FTP, Local Computer or Email. You can schedule automatic backups. Get Ready! Backup here. If there is any problem with your site, you can always restore a backed up copy so that you are up and running again. Some of these tips you may find easy to do by yourself and some may appear like Greek to you. In that case, my candid advice to you will be to outsource the technology bit of your business that you are finding difficult to do. Don’t let technology hold you back from moving your business to the next level. Seriously consider getting someone who enjoys getting his or her hands dirty. Her passion is to help working mums who are overwhelmed achieve balance and financial freedom in their lives. She also loves to help business owners who are stuck with technology get unstuck. You can connect with her via Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SuperWorkingMum twitter: http://www.twitter.com/SuperWorkingMum email: [email protected] website: www.superworkingmum.com That way you can concentrate on what you love doing which is providing value to your customers.
