Have you ever accidentally lost an important file on your computer? Perhaps your computer crashed (again) or your cat sauntered over a dooming sequence of keys. Remember that little pang in your stomach you felt when you realized that file was gone for good?

OK, now imagine losing your entire e-zine subscriber list. Did that pang just get a bit more intense? (Ouch!)

Several Internet marketing gurus were recently asked the question, "If your office was burning down and you could save one thing, what would it be?"

The unanimous answer among all of them was, "my list"!

Your list is your goldmine. It's your pool of warm prospects and clients with whom you've taken months to build a level of credibility and trust. They're your ticket to a steady stream of income.

It can take years to build a large collection of opt-in subscribers. But they can disappear in a flash if they're not protected.

So, are YOU backing up your list on a regular basis? (Be honest!) If not, let's get you started today.

If Your List Resides on Your Computer...

If you send out your e-zine or e-mail promotions from your own computer, you MUST make backing-up your list a daily habit. And by "backing-up," I mean saving your list to a disk or location other than your hard drive. For example, you can save your list to:

a Zip disk (you'll need a Zip drive)
a CD (you'll need a CD burner)
a floppy disk (these don't hold much data though)
an external hard drive (these are less expensive now than they used to be)
a secure, Web-based file storage service.

What The Self Employed Should Look For In A Tax Preparer
The best way to find a tax preparer is a referral. The personality fit is very important. You are looking for someone you can talk to about money. That is a touchy subject and needs a high comfort level. You need to look for basic competence; your preparer should know the easy stuff without looking it up. Beyond basic questions consider asking about some of the following issues.Not only should you ask how many tax returns an accountant does but also “what kind?” If you are a schedule C taxpayer you need a preparer who do

Outsourcing Is Picking Pace
BPO or Business Process Outsourcing is a very common and mushrooming phenomenon these days. BPO can be defined as the accomplishment of a business task from some outside agency. For instance a company can ask or hire an external agency to maintain its old records and accounts. The phenomenon of outsourcing was not so well established before a decade. Initially some of the relatively small and low grade jobs like old storage record of the company were outsourced in United States. Gradually with the budding success and confidenc

So You Think You Can Sell
I once heard a quote by a Scottish ex-World Champion Formula 1 motor racing driver called Jackie Stewart. It went something like ‘you can criticize a man about anything other than his driving and his love making ability’ Well I would like to add to that, because you can’t criticize somebody about their selling ability either. I got to wondering the other day, why is that? Why do men and women who take orders yet have never had any reasonable amount of sales training think they are sales people and hate to be told otherwise? It

a secure, Web-based file storage service.

I currently use option 5 for my computer files. The service I use is called I-Backup, and there are many others out there, starting at as little as $3 per month. I prefer this option because I have so many large files on my computer that I'd have to backup my files to several separate disks or CDs. And because this method is so EASY, I'm more likely to follow through and back-up my files on a regular basis!

I also like I-Backup for traveling, as I can upload files that I'll need to access on the road. This way I don't have to bring a disk with me.

If you use a type of list management software that resides on your computer or your own Web server, such as Broadc@st or MailLoop, it can probably schedule automatic backups for you. See the program's help files or contact their support center for assistance.

If You Use an Online List Service...

Even if you host your list online with a listserve (such as Topica) or an autoresponder service (such as AWeber) that should make their own secure backups, you should still make your own backup copy on a regular basis! Just download or "export" a copy of your list each week for safekeeping. It should be pretty easy to do. This procedure varies depending on what program you use, so see its help files or contact their support center for assistance.

Consider Purchasing a Battery Backup System

Well that certainly is a direct -- if not offensive -- title, isn't it? Stay with me a little while longer, and you will understand its significance. Many of us realize that, to get a buyer's attention, we have to tell them about benefits. As Jack Trout and Al Reis wrote in their best-seller, Positioning, everyone listens to the same radio station, WII-FM (What's In It For Me?). No one really cares about us as businesspeople; they care about how our businesses can help them achieve their objectives.

Your success finding a job will determine your future. Here are three things that you must do.
