Whenever you advertise on TikTok, you should monitor your operation regularly, so that you can make modifications to your plan. If you don’t, you have no method of knowing if what you’re doing is working.

Fortunately, TikTok has created a useful analytics package that you can use to recognize all your required amounts. Success with promoting TikTok is all about engagement, and the analytics package will explain how well you are doing in this regard. Information on TikTok is a necessary thing today, but it will improve as the stage unfolds.

Switch to a Guru account

In case you have standard TikTok user accounts, you will have to modify this in your Pro account so that you can use the statistics package. This is easy to do and costs nothing. Analyzes will provide you with fantastic information. Therefore, it is worth doing.

All you have to do to become a Pro account would be to visit your profile, and then in the settings, tap “Manage my account”. This automatically takes you to a different screen where you will find the “Switch to Guru Account” link. Take advantage of this and you will have to decide the most suitable category for your TikTok account.

Then TikTok will like you to enter your cell phone number to deliver a confirmation code via SMS. When you receive this particular code, enter it in the form provided and it is currently a Pro account.

When you create your TikTok accounts, we recommend that you switch to your Pro account instantly. The reason for this is that the parser will not list your information until you are a Guru user.

Analysis Categories

After switching to a Pro account on TikTok, you will notice that there is an “Analysis” option in your profile preferences. After tapping on this, you will understand your analysis dashboard. When your account is new, you will have to wait a couple of days for the information to accumulate and show you metrics.

In your TikTok statistics dashboard, you may see three classes that you can see. These are:

In this day and age, it can be quite easy to rely on progress in technology to get what you want when you want it, all without ever leaving the comfort of your own home. Unfortunately, even something as cool and exciting as a date night movie has fallen victim to this inherently lazy way of living life.

A date night, along with a date night movie, is made for you to do more than just sit at home and stream something you can watch. It also gave you a chance to hang out with someone special, eat something, take a walk on the beach, anything really. Instead, we “veg” at home and use the game console controllers to navigate the menus for our subscription-based programming. While you can claim that living doesn’t get much sweeter, the truth is that it does, and you’re missing out on a lot.

So, take a second and reminisce about your latest late night movie adventures. Have you really spent yourself in the world or did you both decide to stay home and hang out? If it’s the latter, these movies might be what you need to take you to your local theater for your next date night:

Solo: A Star Wars Story – Anyone who has seen the Star Wars movies knows that the softest character of all was Han Solo. He was charming, sexy, cool, and had his own spaceship. No matter which way you look at him, he was who we all wanted to be (without disrespecting Luke, of course). In this new movie, we get to learn more about how Han became the hipster we’ve come to love, and also how he got to know the people he knew.

Entering – This is intense. If ever there was a relationship that you didn’t get into, it’s that of a mother and her children. Here, our heroine mother will stop at nothing as she tries to save her children as they are held hostage by a group of nefarious figures. This is an action movie because it is full of action sequences.

Incredibles 2 – It’s been almost fifteen years since the first movie was released, so fans have been anticipating this one for a long time. This film addresses the changing dynamics of the modern American home, as well as societal views of those who are different. There is even a cleverly woven interaction about people changing as parents. There is a lot to this and it appeals to all ages.

Make your next late night movie special by ditching the stream and paint the city red! Even if the movie wasn’t to your liking, make it part of the fun. Have a cup of coffee afterward and discuss it. Who knows? You may learn a little more about yourself than you thought. The important thing to keep in mind is to make your next date night more than just a date – make it special.

Perfumes are a great Valentine’s gift for women, while being very useful and long-lasting, and also very romantic. Most women not only love to wear perfumes, as they can help boost their confidence and enhance their feminine charm, but also directly convey the message of love.

Many of the ingredients of the perfumes are aphrodisiacs, supposedly they possess magical powers to bewitch and make the loving feelings of that special person increase. So giving your lady a perfume can be translated as a direct message of love in a bottle: ‘Bewitching me even more, I’m all yours.You can also gift the perfume to your sympathy, but make sure it is not a one-way ‘traffic’.

Take the time and go the extra mile this year by following 5 simple tips to prepare a beautiful and memorable perfume gift for your lady for Valentine’s Day.

1. Do not rush with the choice of perfume

Don’t be too quick to buy perfume as a gift for any kind of occasion. Make it a beautiful gift, not a skunk! Start by researching the gift recipient’s perfume preferences. Do you wear any perfume? Ask him directly about his favorite fragrance (signature). Buying your signature fragrance or fragrance from the same olfactory family is the safest perfume option.

If you don’t know your perfume preferences, check with your friends or family if possible, or go to the nearest perfume store and let the salesperson help you select the appropriate perfume for your age, personality and style.

Another great help in choosing among the many feminine perfumes available is to consult the wealth of information online. Check out perfume review websites, where you can get information on perfume notes, suitability by age groups, occasions and seasons, information on related perfume products (for example, scented body lotions or shower gels), prices and, most importantly, customer reviews. .

2. Spice up your gift with the words of the heart

Personally, when I receive a gift of any kind, it is the donor’s words written or spoken from the heart that move me the most. Buy or make your own Valentine’s card and write a beautiful love quote or poem on it. Search for books, remember your favorite romantic movie quotes, or check out dating websites. Better yet, say or write your feelings for her in your own words, maybe even your own poem. How? Just think about her, what you value about her, how she makes you feel, and what she means to you.

3. Wrap your gift

Buying a perfume (or any kind of gift) and presenting it in a simple plastic bag will ruin the entire gift experience for the gift recipient. The message of a gift in a simple plastic bag goes something like this: “Okay, I remembered to buy you something for this occasion, but it took me exactly two minutes of my time, since I bought it at a gas station on the way here.” In addition, it also shows that the gift has a low level of good manners.

So be sure to put the perfume (or any other Valentine’s Day gift) in a beautiful gift bag or wrap it in decorative paper or cellophane. A great way to organize your women’s perfume gift is to make a perfume gift basket, which can also hold other gift items, such as candy or small stuffed animals.

4. Behave and Dress to Impress
More than a monetary value of the gift, it will be important how your lady will feel when you give her the Valentine’s gift. Make that day special. Let her feel that she is the only one, that you have prepared yourself and that you care how she feels. So, brush your teeth, trim your nails, put on a nice suit, a red rose between your teeth and present the perfume to him in some nice meeting place. You’ll impress her for Valentine’s Day this year, make sure of that!

5. Let appreciating your love bond become your daily habit.

You cannot buy true love with money or things, because it is priceless. Therefore, the monetary value of the Valentine’s gift is the least important. What really counts and what your lady Valentine will appreciate is that you put some time and consideration into preparing a thoughtful and romantic “gift” for her.

Valentine’s Day is only one day a year and if you want your love to grow, flourish and be fruitful in the future, it must be cherished every day of the year. Choosing the right perfume for a Valentine’s Day gift for your lady may take some time, but it’s worth it. It can be a thoughtful gift that can help fuel your love bond with her.

Invisible Harmful Consequences of a High Minimum Wage

Tea kiosk It made its debut at our McDonald’s this week, or at least I saw it and used it for the first time. It’s almost idiot-proof, but not quite. There were no cashiers out front, but a friendly assistant manager came out from behind the counter and told me about boating.

The big bottom line is that McDonald’s and other fast food chains are almost, but not entirely, at the mercy of complacent progressives who force their will to enact a higher minimum wage. It seemed like no more than four or five employees were in charge of the entire operation when we visited during the lunch rush hour.

Thank goodness workers have brave Democrats protecting us from greedy employers. Unfortunately, that requires protecting some of us from employment itself.

It’s a sad story when a young man never gets that first job, never gets a chance to demonstrate a strong work ethic and punctuality. It corrodes their self-image and often leads to substance abuse and criminal lifestyles. It is difficult for families and relationships.

As Allie Beth Stuckey has said, work is not a necessary evil. It is a necessary good. The absence of an honorable job creates a void, and that void will be filled by something. If not crime, maybe political extremism. Or maybe both.

Someone will pay to create a class of unemployed and unemployed youth, but it will not be the progressive political cynics. Unemployed and unskilled youth are unlikely to diagnose the cause of their unemployment unless they have completed college economics at university, and this is the genius of the Democrats’ position.

They will demand and receive lavish praise from recipients of a higher minimum wage, but will never be held accountable for the devastating impact of their legislation on new unskilled workers and their families and communities. That will be attributed to racism, underfunded public education, or the ever-popular “greedy corporations.”

There was a fast food strike in 2012 in New York City, but it had limited traction at the time. I’d say the minimum wage surge started in the progressive districts of the Pacific Northwest a few years later. The electoral initiatives imposed some of the increases in the minimum wage and some were imposed by the municipalities.

My work often took me around Seattle during this period. In the months after Seattle enacted a sharp increase in the minimum wage, I noticed that several small family restaurants had closed. The kiosks are still unable to wash bus dishes and tables.

But on the Silicon Valley coast and elsewhere, smart engineers and coders were devising the technology that would save the restaurant industry from unsustainable high wages. Good for them, good for restaurant owners, disastrous for young, inexperienced workers.

The move to automation, once completed, is irreversible. Consider the advantages for a homeowner: no payroll, no social security contribution, no scheduling hassles, no training, no slip and fall or back injuries, no shameful racial accusations, and no #MeToo sexual harassment claims. The kiosk offers the employer peace of mind, not just financial benefits.

Of course, the workers left in the back of the house cannot be replaced by a machine. Still.

The Democratic platform advocates raising the current federal minimum wage from $ 7.25 to $ 15 per hour. Most Congressional Democrats have pledged to the $ 15 figure, but some have advocated a $ 12 median salary before moving up to the higher salary.

Rep. Keith Ellison and Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation to automatically increase the federal minimum wage from that $ 15, based on growth in the national median wage. Ellison’s measure would also prohibit the practice of paying employees with tips less than the minimum wage. Unfortunately, kiosks already exist on restaurant tables, eliminating opportunities for single mothers and college students.

Even President Donald Trump has said he favors a raise to $ 10 an hour. So the writing is on the wall. Executives at the fast food chain are not paranoid, just rational. They don’t want to go bankrupt. They don’t want shareholders to fire them. There will be many more kiosks and many fewer employees.

Dictionary.com’s definition of ‘entrepreneur’ reads “a person who organizes and manages any business, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.”

When starting your own business, whether it’s a traditional storefront, franchise, or home-based network marketing opportunity, risk is always involved. There is no certainty of what the future holds. That is why it is called “risk” and not “guarantee”.

Entering the world of free enterprise can be as scary as it is exciting. With any risk, there is a certain element of fear that comes into play. Even the most savvy business people question what the future holds and wonder if they should listen to people who tell them they are crazy and making a big mistake.

But always remember this: those who speak negatively about their companies are not putting money in their bank account. If they throw negativity at you, it is better not to pay attention to them.

The key to opening the door to success is to adopt and adhere to the five components of a successful entrepreneur.

1) Develop the right mindset –It all starts here. Henry Ford once said: “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” As an entrepreneur, your mindset will determine where you are going and how you get there. To stay on track, it is imperative that you block outside forces trying to pour cold water into your endeavors. The sooner you establish a goal-oriented, results-driven mindset that blocks negativity and allows you to learn from every scenario you encounter, the sooner you will see the best results from your company.

2) Define your goals and mission –Going into business on your own without a clear mission and goals to accomplish is as foolish as taking a trip across the country without a map or GPS. With no goals to work towards, you will get lost … and you may never find your way back. You have to have a reason why you are trying. There has to be something at the end that rewards your work.

And it doesn’t always have to be money. It could be the ability to fire your boss, travel, play golf, spend more time with your kids, whatever prompts you. As long as you believe in your goals and mission firmly enough, nothing will stand in your way to help you achieve them.

3) Apply drive, passion and work ethic –Nothing in life is easy, and anyone who has told you that there is a quick and easy route to success is drunk on their own help. It takes blood, sweat, tears, passion, and commitment to be successful, as well as a work ethic to keep you motivated through your toughest times. You cannot expect the world to fall to its knees in front of you simply because you started a business. You have to make it happen with your own effort.

4) Implement a proven marketing system to carry out your mission and achieve your goals.Without a system to market your products and opportunities, you will not make sales and you will be dead in the water. You have to find a way to make sure that what you are promoting reaches the right people. This starts with educating yourself on how to do it, which inevitably requires a trip outside of your comfort zone.

Remember, Michael Jordan didn’t pick up a basketball for the first time and became the greatest player of all time. He had to work, learn and dedicate himself to learning how to achieve great things. Successful entrepreneurs face these same obstacles. But as any successful person will tell you, the learning experience is what makes it fun!

5) Take action and stop at ANY to achieve maximum success –Everything you learn and absorb is worth NOTHING if you don’t take action and do what it takes to be successful. Many people salute the banner of “being overwhelmed by overwhelm” or “paralysis by analysis” and never achieve what they set out to do in the first place because they get locked into an unnecessary need for perfection.

Without a doubt, you will face obstacles and make mistakes. But learning from your mistakes will lead you to overcome obstacles, which will inevitably lead you to the level of success you want.

The world of free enterprise is full of success and failure stories. And the success stories were born out of dedication, sacrifice, and commitment. Those who failed either gave up before they could learn what it took to succeed or were in search of the next big “get rich quick” scheme. They wanted the “magic” solution to all their aches and pains without putting in the effort required for true business success.

The truth is, there is no magic involved in the success stories you hear. The successful entrepreneurs you hear about beat the odds by dedicating themselves to their own business development. This development then bled into their business and instead of waiting for success to fall into their lap, they went out and earned it themselves!

Investing is a get-rich device, however it is not just for the rich. Anyone can start an investment system, and different vehicles in any case simplify small sums and add to a portfolio from time to time. Truth be told, it separates investing from gambling that it requires investment, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

Investing is also about making a profit. Spending is simple and provides satisfaction in the moment, regardless of whether you overdo it on another outfit, a getaway to an extraordinary place, or a dinner at a favorite restaurant. These are magnificent and make life more charming. However, investing requires organizing our budget perspectives on our current cravings.

Investing is an approach to saving cash while busy with life and having that cash job to yourself so you can fully receive the benefits of your job later on. Investing is a way to achieve a happier ending.

There are a wide range of ways you can approach investing, including placing cash in stocks, securities, shared assets, ETFs, land (and other option risk vehicles), or without prejudice to starting your own business.

Each venture vehicle has its positives and negatives, which we’ll examine in a later segment of this instructive exercise. Seeing how various types of speculation vehicles work is essential to your prosperity. For example, what does a shared store put resources into? Who takes care of the store? What are the fees and costs? Are there any charges or penalties for accessing your cash? These are all questions that need to be answered before starting a business. While it is valid, there are no profit certifications, a little work on your part can expand your chances of being a profitable speculator. Research, consult, and even just read carefully Investing can offer assistance.

Since you have a general idea of ​​what investing is and why you should be doing it, this is a great opportunity to discover how investing gives you the opportunity to exploit one of the wonders of arithmetic – the accumulation of funds.

There are many types of speculations and investment styles to explore. Common assets, ETFs, singular stocks and securities, closed shared assets, land, different option speculations, and ownership of all or part of a business are just a few examples.

Stocks

Stock purchase offers speak of ownership in the organization and the possibility of taking an interest in the prosperity of the organization through increases in the cost of shares, in addition to the profits that the organization may declare. Shareholders have the right to claim the profits of the organization.

Holders of common shares have the right to vote at shareholders’ meetings and the privilege of making a profit should they speak. Holders of favored shares do not have voting rights, but are inclined to distribute profits over normal shareholders. Likewise, they have a greater right over the resources of the organization than the holders of basic shares.

Captivity

Securities are bond instruments by which a speculator successfully advances cash to an organization or office (the guarantor) in exchange for intermittent premium installments in addition to the arrival of the nominal sum of the bond when the bond is developed. Securities are issued by corporations, the government, as well as many states, districts, and legislative organizations.

An ordinary corporate security can have a nominal estimate of $ 1,000 and pay for intrigue almost every year. Enthusiasm for these securities is fully assessable, however enthusiasm for metropolitan bonds is exempt from government fees and could be excluded from state fees for residents of the issuing state. Enthusiasm for Treasuries is burdened at the government level, so to speak.

Securities can be purchased as new offerings or on the ancillary market, just like stocks. The estimate of a value can go up and down in light of several variables, the most critical being the burden of loan costs. Security costs move against the evolution of loan costs.

Common assets

A common store is a joint venture vehicle supervised by a director of speculation that allows financial specialists to invest their cash in stocks, securities or other risk vehicles, as expressed in the reserve plan.

Common assets are estimated towards the end of the trading day and any exchanges to buy or offer offers are executed after the market closes as well.

Common assets can latently track stock or security display files – for example, the S&P 500, the Barclay Aggregate Bond Index, and many others. Other common assets are effectively monitored when the supervisor effectively chooses the stocks, securities, or different speculations that the store owns. Effectively supervised shared assets are for the most part more expensive to claim. The hidden costs of a reserve serve to decrease the net speculation that returns to the stockholders of the common store.

Shared assets can make spreads such as profits, intrigues, and capital increases. These allowances will be assessable if they are held in a non-retirement account. Offering a shared store can bring about a recovery or misfortune for the company, similar to how it happens with individual stocks or bonds.

Common assets allow small speculators to buy in an instant an enhanced presentation of various risk properties within the reserve’s speculation target. For example, a shared external share can contain 50 or at least 100 distinctive remote shares in the portfolio. An underlying company of as little as $ 1,000 (or less at times) can allow a financial specialist to claim all of the hidden property in the reserve. Common assets are an incredible way for large and small financial specialists to achieve a level of expansion for the time being.

ETF

TFs or traded assets resemble common carriers in many respects, but are traded on the exchange on the day of the exchange simply as stock offerings. Unlike shared assets that are estimated towards the end of each trading day, ETFs are always estimated while trading sectors are open.

Numerous ETFs track dormant market files such as the S&P 500, the Barclay Aggregate Bond Index, and the Russell 2000 list of small major stocks and many others.

Lately, effectively supervised ETFs have appeared, as have sneaky so-called beta ETFs that list in light of “elements, eg, quality, low instability, and energy.”

Elective companies

Past stocks, securities, shared assets, and ETFs, there are numerous different approaches to contribute. We will talk about a couple of these here.

Land ventures can be done by purchasing a commercial or private property specifically. Land speculation put stocks in (REIT) pool the speculator’s cash and buy property. REITS are exchanged as shares. There are common assets and ETFs that also put resources into REITs.

Flexible investing and private equity also fall into the class of option speculations, although they are only open to people who meet the salary and total asset needs of being a certified speculator. Investments in speculative stocks can contribute anywhere and can be superior to the usual risk vehicles in turbulent markets.

Private equity enables organizations to raise capital without opening up to the world. In addition, there are private land grants that offer offers to financial specialists on a number of properties. Options often have limitations on how often financial specialists can approach your cash.

Lately, options systems have been featured in common reserve and ETF designs, taking into account minimal risk reduction and extraordinary liquidity for speculators. These vehicles are known as fluid options.

If you look at the families you know, the children are likely to be all different, with different looks and natures than their brothers and sisters. Very often you will notice a pattern according to their position in the family. The firstborn may be more considerate and reserved, the middle child may be quite different, while the youngest may be outgoing, fearless and adventurous.

At one point, my husband decided that he would run an equestrian center and a pony riding center. The foster children had returned to their mother, who had later remarried, so we only had 3 children again. The children thrived on the fresh air and freedom, but my 4-year-old daughter was unafraid and if someone sat her on any of the horses or ponies she would happily ride through the countryside. Thelwell style.

On another occasion, unbeaten by the older boys, she climbed onto the scaffolding of the adjacent apartment block, swinging to the next railing, and went up and up, but could not get down because her legs did not reach the steps; my husband had to rescue her quickly. She would climb anywhere and everywhere completely without fear. While my oldest daughter was much more afraid of horses and my son did not approach them and was much happier on his bike. This illustrates how different children can be.

Different dynamics within the family group can also affect the characteristics of your children. For example, you may be strict with your first child as you adjust to parenthood, while later you may be more relaxed. The presence of other children or whether you have more or less time to spend with them can also make a difference. Also, of course, everyone has their own traits and there is the age-old question of nature or nurture. Your main job as a parent is to develop a child’s own strengths and guide them to be the best they can be; and to become healthy and happy adults responsible for their own actions.

It would be a boring world if we were all the same, imagine if we all thought the same and acted in the same way. We would all be looking for the same jobs. You will soon learn to understand your little ones and how they will react. Accept their differences and enjoy their different characters, help them develop in their own way and become members of a diverse society.

Here’s something I’ve been playing with and my results have been pretty good too.

A few months ago a friend was launching a great product with lots of cash prizes for top affiliates. I knew there would be tons of affiliate competition, with each affiliate trying to outperform the others with bigger and better bonuses.

How to compete?

I decided not to.

Instead, I thought about what each affiliate’s bonus pages would look like: highly polished, elegant, professional, lots of graphics, videos, etc.

Most likely they will all start to look a lot alike, right?

So I thought … what if I did something different?

What if my page looks like something you might receive in the mail? A black and white sales letter, using the Courier typewriter font, with a very old look …

What if, instead of a highly polished professional photo of myself, I used one that I just woke up to? Or one where I just finished exercising or just finished yard work?

In other words, I saw myself as the neighbor and not as a marketer.

Taking this thought to the next level, I decided that I did not want to spend time or money creating a bond. Everyone else was doing that, so why should I?

Instead, I would give a live class. Homework would be to review the program before class. Then in class we would implement, step by step, what was in the program. And it would record everything, so that people could follow it.

In case you were wondering, it worked flawlessly. My sales were a very decent 5 figure number, and my commissions were half plus bonuses.

And one more thing: I cheated too. I had my virtual assistant lead the class for me. She learned great new skills and I spent less than 2 hours on the entire project.

Conclusion: When there is a lot of competition, it is time to stop competing directly and look for another way.

If they’re using tons of nifty graphics and videos, go for a black-and-white typewriter style from the ’80s.

If they offer bonus packages full of 5, 10, or 20 products, you don’t offer any products (I offered hand-holding training, which in my opinion is worth a lot more anyway).

You get the idea.

You know what would work even better than that?

MAILING the royal letter. Yes. Talk about the old school. If you collect actual addresses from your BUYERS, you might consider doing this on high-value items.

I know marketers who do this. They are few and far between, and they are KILLING it. They only send emails to buyers, which greatly improves their conversions. They use a service to deliver the advertisements to them. And they earn more on one of these shipments than most successful sellers earn in 6 months.

Which brings me to my second idea … if you don’t have your buyers’ email addresses yet, start collecting them now.

When you have a sizeable serving of them (at least 200, preferably 500), approach a marketer with a product that you would love on their list. Make sure there is a lot of profit on that product. Take the sales letter, adapt it to a black and white envelope (cheap to produce) and send it to your buyers.

See what happens. Touch up, rinse and repeat.

You can easily DOUBLE your income using this method.

Know why? Again, because it is the opposite. Is different. Hardly anyone is doing it.

Your client receives maybe half a dozen emails in a day. Two are bills. Two are local business sales brochures. One is a catalog.

And then there is that mysterious white envelope. Yes, it will open. Yes, it will be read.

Wow! They are surprised. Someone they know from ONLINE is sending them REAL MAIL.

They don’t throw it away. Instead, they open their browser, type in the URL, and REQUEST THE PROGRAM.

Sure, not everyone does, but … enough. Believe me, I have seen this job over and over again. That’s why I’m about to start sending out sales letters by mail (Shhh, don’t tell anyone!)

As long as there are personal and business websites, there will be hackers who, for unknown reasons, think that hacking a website is a must-do. Personally, all of my websites have been hacked at one point or another over the last few years. Cleaning and rebuilding a hacked WordPress website is a real headache. I try to keep a good attitude and consider it a great time for a total redesign and also make sure to add more protection measures to keep hackers out.

My number one security resource is WordFence Security Plugin. I use the free version, which is great, but I know site owners who have updated and given rave reviews. There are other ways to protect your site or blog.

How do hackers get in?

To protect your site from unscrupulous hackers, it helps to know how they get onto it in the first place.

Be very careful when installing plugins

As you can see in the image, plugins are the biggest risk for a site attack. There are tens of thousands of WordPress plugins available. Unfortunately, more than half are equipped with a “back door” on their website.

How to keep plugins safe

The number one way to keep plugins safe is to make sure you update them as updates become available. WordFence is a great way to keep track of updates; You will receive an email when a plugin has an update available.

Look at the details

There are some red flags that should serve as a warning against using a plugin.

• Visit the developer’s site. Please verify that you are there and up to date with new details about using the plugin and make sure there is valid contact information. Tip: If it’s been a while since a plugin update was released, the developer may no longer support it.

• Better to download any plugin from the official WordPress site. The plugins listed there are likely safe. Downloading plugins from an unknown source should be avoided. This is one of the ways hackers will get in. They ask you to install their amazing plugin that is guaranteed to attract customers. Or that’s what they tell you it is, they’re actually asking you to do the hard part for them. The plugin likely contains the tools they need to hack your site.

• Do some research on the plugin developer. Look up the author’s name and plugin name and put “malware” or “hack” behind it and see what comes up.

The second way hackers get in

The second most common way WordPress sites are hacked is a brute force attack. This type of attack is the best guessing game. It can take hours to find your site’s username and password, but it’s a pretty straightforward way to get in and do some damage. Use some of these tips to keep them at bay and off your site.

• Use two-factor authentication. With this method, users must know their password and have their cell phone ready to receive a secret number. WordFence premium has this feature and it is a surefire way to protect your site.

• Choose a unique username. It is no longer a good idea to use Administrator or Administrator. Using your domain name is also not recommended. Instead, choose a username that is not easy for a potential hacker to guess.

• Change your password frequently. This is just one more way to sustain a brute force attack. Your software may be close to guessing your password, but if it is changed frequently, that would not be a problem.

Simple maintenance keeps your site safe

Follow a few simple steps to keep your WordPress site safe. Clean your site frequently. Get rid of plugins and themes that you no longer use. Keep your themes and plugins up to date. Install reliable security to keep hackers out. If you’ve never had to redo a 5-year site, be happy! If you’ve had to clean up a mess left by an attack, learn from mistakes and lack of security. Block your site and also your house.

Today’s Internet marketer has the daunting task of learning how to use technology to their advantage. Communication is critical to success, and you probably want your online customers to be able to access it conveniently.

The question is: which chat client should I use?

Some of your clients are on iChat. Some are on MSN. Others are in AIM, ICQ, etc.

If you’re like me, the thought of downloading, installing, and managing all the chat programs may make you want to go to the hills.

So how do you handle the challenge of being accessible online without the need to run multiple pieces of software simultaneously?

Ebudy to the rescue!

Ebudy has been around since 2003 and offers pop-up chat and added Ajax functionality.

Ebudy allows you to combine multiple chat clients in one place and supports MSN, Yahoo, AIM, GTalk, ICQ, and MySpace.

Ebudy makes it easy for you to log into an account and be accessible to a variety of clients and prospects, regardless of the chat program they are using.

With millions of users spread across multiple chat platforms, ebudy makes it very easy to communicate with most of them from a single convenient interface.

I use programs like ebudy to make it easy for my email marketing clients to contact me online.

When someone subscribes to my AutoResponder messages, I can give them a list of the different chat programs that I am available on. So my readers can choose the chat program they are already using.

No download required to use ebudy.
