Remember to make it work you must take action, don't just look at it but do it.

Take a look at the resources page for the site - lots of excellent information.

Have a wonderful day.

One of the first things you want to do is to make sure that you have everything backed up (and not just on a disk but on paper as well). Make sure you have a back up of at least the following.

1. Your clients - all their information.
2. Your vendors
3. Your calendar

Make sure for these backups you have one in a safe place, away from your office, put one copy of these in a get-away bag. Something you could pick up quick on your way out of the office.

Enjoy your day.

Preparing your business for troubled times - we're going to be talking this week about preparing your business for trouble. One of the reason why we're doing this is because a couple of weeks ago we had a power outage that lasted several days. This got me to thinking what would have happened if the outage had lasted longer than a few days.

Today we're going to give you a few web resources that will help you plan.
Tuesday and Weds we're going to talk about steps to take before anything happens.
Friday we'll talk about what to happen during the unexpected.

Enjoy your day!

As promised here are the first steps for making sure that you website is ready for any future changes. We'll be including a ton of different things, like adding video, using social networking and more. We'll work on adding videos to make it as easy as possible for you.

The first step in doing anything right is we want to be able to track how well we're doing. After all if we don't track things then how will we know when we're doing better.

The best way I've found to track things (and we've used them all ) is by using Google Analytics. It is super easy to use and tracks all the things we'll want to track. After all if you think about it don't you think they would include everything they find valuable in ranking your site?

Here is a video that will lead you step by step thru the sign up process.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2785StVvas8

Next you'll want to make sure to add the code to all of your web pages. It's pretty simple to do that and they give good instructions on how to do that within the analytics site. The most important thing is that we want to make sure that the tracking is on all the pages.

Steps for this lesson.
1. Create a google analytics account.
2. Add the tracking code to all of the pages.

That's it - we'll talk next Weds and using analytics.

Tomorrow we'll be starting our series on getting your visitors more involved with your website. Every Weds. till we're finished we'll provide you information that will help.

If you use Google analytics then you'll enjoy this article.

Something funny I would like to share with you. My niece came home yesterday (she's a sophomore in high school), we were talking like we usually do everyday and she said that all the kids, teachers etc. were talking about the Hadron Collider. So much so in fact that she said that not many people got there work done. I saw a pretty funny article about it this morning and it appears that the world won't end today because they will only be testing sending things in one direction (so they won't be colliding anything for a bit). You can get a few more laughs by checking out this link.

Today is fun Friday. I can't believe that school started this week... my how time flies. I would like to tell you about a game that we played on our vacation at the beach.

Mexican Train Dominoes... we have had a blast playing it. Especially since there is cool weather coming ahead you may want to invest in a copy or get one for a family gift as a Christmas Present. Some details about the game can be found here.
