We're Doomed!

Only three or so weeks in...and I missed a weekday posting!

I was offline for most of yesterday as I was having my home office redesigned as Lesley will be helping me with my more mundane admin tasks.

When I got back online today, I found some emails from subscribers to the ezine saying that they were unable to unsubscribe. This sometimes happens as AOL can get confused with the long unsubscribe URL. But when I went to manually delete the addresses - I found that my mailing list provider was showing that I had around 6,000 people on my list instead of the 14,000+ that were on there yesterday!

I know that a few people unsubscribe, but 8,000 in one day was ridiculous! lol

To cut a long story short - they were unable to reinstate my list to its proper number - and in one case I had 297 more subscribers than when I started! Luckily (well, it wasn't down to luck really), I always take a copy of my mailing list before I send out an ezine. You can never be too careful where the key to your online business is concerned!

It could have easily turned into 'one of those days' as practically every person who bought one of my ebooks over the last couple of days seemed to be having problems accessing the files! All was sorted out in the end - but I could have easily have 'blown my top' and started to moan at how unlucky I was.

If you know me well enough - you know that I never let these sort of things get to me - and neither should you. There will always be days where whatever can go wrong will go wrong - but, hey, that's life! You can either rise to the challenges or complain about the problems. It's you and you alone who decide which one you choose.
