Why I switched from wordpress to blogger

I had 2 blogs, one about small business marketing and one about food. I would write once or twice in each one every week or 2 to share what I am passionate about. I had several followers and was selling a few affiliate products here and there but selling was not my main goal just a side effect.

One day I tried to log into my blog and the website said "Your account has been suspended" contact your web host for more information. I sent a support ticket to my host and as usual they took their sweet time about getting back to me.

According to them I have been sending out thousands of emails from my hosting account. I replied back and said I don't even send emails to anyone so how could that be. After they jerked me around for a couple of days they came back with someone had hacked my account through wordpress and sent thousands of spam emails.

I said why did you not contact me and give me a heads up so I could of done something sooner. Their reply was, you have a shared ip address and we did not want to have it black listed. They said the only way to set it back up was to wipe out the whole thing and start from scratch.

I have worked hard at getting this blog going and did not want to start again. They sent me a backup copy of my website that was in a funky format that i could not find a program to open it with. I then figured if I have to start all over why not just get a new web host so this did not happen again.

I searched for webhosts and what I found was heart breaking. Most wanted a year in advance at $10 a month or had a introductory special that after a month the price went up 3 to 4 times. I knew there had to be someone out there who had hosting at a great price.

 Well low and behold I ran across a web host that even had the option for your own ip address which i quickly scooped up. Their yearly price was cheaper than the other guys monthly price.

The best part is they were cheaper than the last host I had with a shared ip address. Make your way over to the website and check out all the great features and the super cheap price. Another plus is they also have an affiliate program so you share them with your friends and pick up some extra cash when they sign up.

Why you should drink plenty of water every day

Through out your busy day as an entrepreneur or even if you work for someone, you need to keep your body hydrated. Simply drinking the right amount of water every day can change your life and your health.

I remember one time while driving along in my company van water saved my life. I slowed down to take a drink of water and it's a good thing I did. A car came around the corner in my lane and had I not slowed down to drink water, I would of hit the other car head on. This is a true story!

Water helps your body by controlling your appetite, improving brain function and lubricating your joints. That right there is a good reason to drink more water. Many people suffer from achy joints and drinking McDonalds $1 soda do nothing for lubricating squeaky joints.

Drinking water also helps regulate body temperature, controls chronic fatigue, keeps your lungs moist and helps prevent asthma.If you are feeling tired water also helps give you energy and it also helps decrease the risk of some Cancers.

Water helps alleviate headaches, keeps your skin moisturized, flushes out toxins, aids in digestion and helps prevent farfrompooping (constipation) and is essential for proper curculation.

So how much water should you drink everyday. First thing in the morning you should drink a 16 oz glass of water with lemon and drink a 16oz  glass of water every hour or 2, especially before and after meals to help you feel full.

Stay away from sports drinks, juices and sodas with sweeteners if you are participating in sports, because they will only cause you to become dehydrated. Reach for good ol water and watch you energy level and your concentration go through the roof.

What is the best water you can drink to get the full benefits of water. The best type of water is from a gravity fed mountain spring. Visit THIS WEBSITE to find a mountain spring near you. If a spring is not close by you then have your tap water tested and put the correct filter on it. The company that tests it will tell you the filter you need. Try to avoid bottled, unfiltered, distilled and fluoridated water.

Do You Suffer From BADD and is it Managable

You may be asking yourself, what in the world is BADD and do I have it. I came up with the phrase after thinking about what could be wrong with me. I can never seem to focus on one business opportunity at a time. After thinking about it I came up with the name Business Attention Deficit Disorder or BADD. One of my daily chores was glancing through the classified ads for business opportunities. Even though I already had a business I worked from at home I still had this uncontrollable urge to look for something bigger and better. As far back as I can remember this has always been a problem for me. If I find a business I like and start working it, I always give up if I don't make a bunch of money in a couple of weeks. In fact it is so bad that people who know me ask, what business are you working this week Mark. Looking through classified ads and clicking on links that takes me to a new opportunity got my blood pumping. I know it was killing my financial life but it takes over me like a ghost controlling my every move. I even did a little research to see if other people have the same problem as me. Much to my surprise, there were thousands of people who have the same trouble focusing on one thing at a time. Do we call them multi taskers or do they just lack the ability to focus on 1 thing at a time I went back through the favorites bar on my computer and started clicking old links I had saved. 3 out of every 5 links I clicked on was a dead end link. You know what was really crazy about these links, they were less than a year old. That means most people don't give anything a chance to build up before they try something else. My research took me to the search engines for an experiment. I did a search for a popular search term and started clicking on the organic results. I went back a couple of pages on the search results just to get an idea of how many dead links there were. Did you know there were people who had their websites listed on page 1 and 2 who were no longer active on their websites. Do you know how much money they could be making if they just stuck around a little while longer. This experiment got me thinking about how I should approach being an entrepreneur. If you are going to be successful at anything you have to stick with it no matter how long it takes. You could close your shop tomorrow and the day after that your biggest client could come along. I found out the hard way that all those new opportunities were all the same. The promise of big money in a short time. Success takes time and patience. Take the time and plan your business and set budgets and goals. Do some research and find out who your customers are and how to get them to visit your website or store. If you are an affiliate for a product, don't use the company cookie cutter website to get customers. Send them to a page you made or someone else made for you. I use a lead capture page and give them something of value. If its your dream to be successful on the internet or with a store front then now is the time to start. Do you know why most people never have any success. Because they never take any action. Take some action and stay focused on your business. It is a lot of work being an entrepreneur, but you will enjoy the ride.
