January 13, 2021 – Windstorms and Rain 👀

Daily blog post for January 13, 2021 — January 13, 2021

Power Outage

I fell asleep early last night, only to be awakened by a wind and rain storm that was crazy.

Crazy is a relative term. I have never been in a hurricane or tornado, so this storm wasn't that big of a deal. It's kind of like saying, “Whew, that 4.0 earthquake was something else!” when I've been in ones 2 or 3 points higher.

But still…power lines and trees are down everywhere in my sleepy little town. Luckily, our power never fully went out. There were frequent flickering lights though.

And I made sure to check that the trampoline hadn't flown away. It's cinched down but with all the rain, the stakes are a bit loose at the moment. Time to re-do.

School's Out for…Wind?

Yes, schools are closed today due to wind. Well, really, due to the power outages that last night's windstorm wrought.

The kids are happy. Mom isn't.

OUCH. But the real question is this: Did it affect you? Did it affect your business? If it did, is there anything you can do to mitigate future losses? The answer is a resounding “YES!” I've harped on this and at you for over a DECADE now – OWN your own real estate. Don't be a sharecropper. When you run your business on another company's platform, their demise could be yours as well. Plus, they can kick you off their platform at any time for any reason. Just ask former President Trump. (Not to be political, but FB and YouTube kicked him off their plat...

Think Article Directories Are Dead?

Think again! Article directories are far from dead. Read on. I just went over to Alexa, and while nobody's web statistics are 100 percent accurate (how could they be?), I found this: [caption id="attachment_6061" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Alexa ranking for Ezinearticles.com[/caption] Alexa is a great way to compare the relative traffic of one site over another. The lower the "Alexa Traffic Rank," the better. The rank of 359 means that, according to Alexa's data, Read more...and please RT, like, and share.
