How to protect and save all your data.

My entire life is on my laptop – all my photos, music, videos, and all my personal and business documents. Up until a few years ago, if anything were to ever happen to my laptop, I would lose tons of valuable personal data (and be crushed).

Luckily, internet storage became popular before that ever happened, and now I sleep soundly at night knowing that no matter what might happen to my laptop, there is a storage facility somewhere that has all my data safely stored away.

Everything important that I own is in one of two places (outside of my laptop): Gmail / Google Docs and DropBox.

My entire business is run out of one giant excel spreadsheet and one word document (a giant and ever-shifting to-do list), both of which are on Google Docs.

All the rest of my business related documents (website files, images, videos, etc.), as well as all the rest of my personal files, are all on DropBox. For those of you that don’t know, DropBox is a special folder that you download onto your desktop, and everything in that folder is simultaneously saved on a remove hard drive online somewhere and updated in real time.

What is really cool about DropBox is:

1.  If anything happens to my laptop, all those files are safe and can be retrieved easily.

2.  I can access and modify any of those files from the Internet (and therefore, work from anywhere with a computer and an Internet connection, even without my own laptop).

If all the important stuff on your computer isn’t backed up somewhere, I’d highly recommend using DropBox.

Note: I have made this automated newsletter using AWeber. No website (or Facebook fan page, etc.) is complete until it has a sign up form to collect email addresses (otherwise, you’re leaving money on the table). Every business in the world should have an email list, as well as a newsletter they send out on a regular basis. No matter what kind of online website you have (business website, personal blog, etc.), get a sign up form on there and start collecting emails immediately (even if you don’t have a clear idea of what you’re going to do with that mailing list yet). One of the most common regrets of anyone with an online presence is “not having started collecting emails sooner.” 

AWeber is hands down the most powerful (and affordable / easy to use) email marketing tool for managing and growing automated mailing lists. It is also the most effective tool I have when I need to communicate to my entire audience all at once about anything at all. I highly recommend starting a mailing list as soon as you start your online business, no matter what your goals are. I have a video lesson that shows you how to use AWeber here

You may also be interested in my book that teaches you how to start a profitable blog (also available on Kindle). It has similar principles as my other book, but the overall strategy is different. If you’d like to learn how to build a blog about a topic you love, develop a loyal readership, and make money online doing it, click here

My personal website portfolio is made up of both of these types of businesses (generic passive income websites and cared-for blogs), and I suggest you build both kinds of websites for your business as well.
