Do you have a back up for your WordPress blog?

Not just an export file of the content but a full database backup should your website crash?

In this video I explain why this is so important and how to install and use a simple WP DB Backup plug in.

All wordpress site owners need to watch this video. Seriously don’t wait to learn this the hard way after a server error and losing everything (like I did!).

Thank you to @thatMLMbeat for the heads up via Twitter that there was a problem with my blog. Now I encourage all of you to tweet this and share through your social networks.  I don’t want anybody else to have the sinking feeling I had last week of their entire blog being “goooooone”.

If you are still deciding if video marketing is right for your business – then you should consider these incredible video viewer numbers from conSure.

YouTube’s been on a high-speed growth upswing. Last month, YouTube became the 4th most visited site on the web after it beat out Microsoft’s Live.com and MSN, with 85.1 million U.S. visitors.

That number may not truly reflect the viewership of the web’s most popular video website, though. According to some astounding numbers from comScore, online video is surging as 8.9 billion videos were viewed by 120.3 million U.S. citizens in July. That’s over 1/3 of the entire U.S. population. Just as astounding is that over 21 billion videos were viewed on the Internet according to the new numbers.
