The space race, Customer Service and monkeys flying rocket ships. 7 strategies for the New Year. you can’t send them to a website if yours is down. Have them call a phone number. I use www.ureach.com to receive my toll-free number and faxes. If you’re looking to send them or do a voice broadcast, contact my friend Ron Romano at www.findmeleads.com. Fortunately I have detailed information for many (not all) of my subscribers. If you haven’t been collecting addresses, phone numbers, and/or fax numbers I suggest you begin. I was thinking this morning about rockets, the “space race” and Customer Service Management. (I dated myself with the “space race”, didn’t I. But it really happened.) I know that the two subjects seem completely unrelated. Not even in the same Encyclopedia volume.And I submit for your consideration that driving a rocket in the space race and good Customer Service Management are exa 4) Fin I am not a happy camper. But life goes on. It has to. So how can an Internet marketer run an Internet business without a website? Here are a few workarounds to keep you in business while things get straightened out. 1) Keep an alternate email address in your back pocket. Sure it looks more professional to have your email address with part of your URL or website listed as the root. But having a free email address is also handy if your website isn’t working. I recommend either Hotmail, www.hotmail.com, Yahoo, www.yahoo.com, or Google, www.google.com. (Yes, AOL is an option in the event of an emergency but I just despise them for working so hard to dumb down their subscribers and make them juvenilely dependent). 2) Invest in a shopping cart. My shopping cart at www.redhotcart.com is my most valued piece of Internet marketing real estate. It is the reason I am able to contact you today, regardless of the fact that my site is down. You can use a shopping cart to send up a flare in the form of autoresponders, emails, and ezines letting them know you’re still alive and well. You can even do promotions and make sales directly through the cart (if you have good copy). 3) Do direct mail, voice broadcasts, or faxes. I feel like I’m time-traveling back to the dinosaur days but sometimes a postcard or an actual hard copy of a sales letter can cut through the clutter when an email cannot. Of course you can’t send them to a website if yours is down. Have them call a phone number. I use www.ureach.com to receive my toll-free number and faxes. If you’re looking to send them or do a voice broadcast, contact my friend Ron Romano at www.findmeleads.com. Fortunately I have detailed information for many (not all) of my subscribers.

Even if you don’t have a website, you can find someone else who is selling a product related to your field. In the carrot-growing business? Why not joint venture with someone in the tomato business? If you have a database you can still survive a website crisis. I wouldn’t advise going to your list too often to sell or you will lose many subscribers and a lot of good will. 5) Back ‘er up. You must have a back up copy of your website or you will be in a world of hurt when it comes time to rebuild that puppy. I work with people who have lost months just trying to get their site staked out online. My webmaster, my virtual assistant and I all have a backup copy of my website. Wanna see? I wish I could show you but my @#! server is having issues. So no site for me.
