So you're feeling fed up and miserable...

You've got a snotty runny nose, blinding headache and you just want to curl up in a corner and die.

Thing is, can your internet business manage without you whilst your busy dying of the sniffles

What have you put into place to ensure if and when you're not available, your business can manage without you for a few days

    Sounds like you could do with a good dose of sunshine.

    I'm doing my best to get as many articles out there as possible - to continue their snowball effect and to make sure my articles are optimized to rank in the free search engines for ongoing free visitors from that source also.

    manflu?

    Isn't that a football team? :p


    -----------------------------

    This is a nice, punchy little post, Kim. I hope some of the **duck!** (other!) "aged" Warriors chime in.

    TL has already mentioned articles.

    There must be more things to consider than just getting links/traffic.

    Getting a VA, for example, to handle customer service tix and deal with small site glitches, contact your host when there are server problems or the cron job goes beserk or some such...

    What else?

      lol

      You didn't duck low enough, a smack round the head coming your way

      Personally speaking yes I can go offline for a while, (I just have been), I have Va's in situ on my helpdesk etc and I can usually drag myself to the computer to feebly tap them out a message that I'm dying and won't be available for a few days.

      Also have a PA who will take over if needed.

      I think it's important to ensure that if the worst happens (and u get manflu guys), then you can go to bed and be miserable knowing your business isn't falling apart because you have put those much needed strategies in place.

      And I feel very aged at the mo

      edit

      BTW I got caught up on a backload of Stargate atlantis progs that I had saved whilst eating my way through a couple of boxes of chocolates, so it hasn't all been bad

        You wimin just don't understand: There are girly viruses and there are manly viruses. Girly viruses (which affect only women) are teeny-tiny smooth, rounded, sub-microscopic critters that slip in and out before you even know they're there. Manly viruses (which affect only men) are 2 inches wide, square, and are composed mostly of knives and needles, with a pinch of hydrochloric acid mixed in.

        A tad more symapthy, if you please!

    The top secrets of autopilot businesses:

    1. Use technology.
    2. Use your team.
    3. Use the 80/20 rule.
    4. Don't believe if somebody is telling you that 100% automated income exist.
    5. Track and Optimize. All the time.

    I hope this was helpful as an idea )

    At this point, I have to suck it up and keep on working. In the future I do plan to have a team in place that can handle most of the business activities for me.

      Hi Kim,

      Sounds like you were really poorly, Mrs. Manflu I think we need to redefine bird-flu - imaginary illness, 'caught' by women feeling the need to lie around in the scratcher for long periods and 'treat' themselves without criticism. I blame Pearson.
