A very easy thing to do is make excuses, we all do it, “I’m not going to go for my jog today because it’s raining!” or “I missed revenue targets this month because my internet was down for half a day”.

This is the first post of a series on protecting your website.

It is all very well building your business up, but if you don’t protect it you could end up losing it all, or taking a hit. At the moment one of the things I am focusing on is protecting my business, I’m happy with what I have and don’t want others taking advantage of it, or trying to hurt me. One problem is people stealing your content, that you own the copyright to, and unfortunately it goes on quite a bit.

I regularly scan various resources for new possible ecommerce and other online businesses to buy, such as Flippa, a selection of webmaster forums, Sitepoint and other classifieds. But one of my least favourite places is eBay.

No doubt you’ve heard it before ‘test, test, test’. I use the simple phrase quite often myself. No matter what you do it is good to test things. And over time a major benefit of testing I have noticed is the power of memory, you remember much more easily what works and what doesn’t.
