So, business has begun but the honeymoon period is nearly over?
Just how do you keep the customers rolling in the door. After the initial burst and flurry of activity, have you managed to secure a dedicated customer base? ok now is this customer base enough for your business to survive into the coming months?
This is the moment of truth, you are starting to become aware of the reality of all businesses. Survival!
I have heard it said that you have to spend as much time procuring customers as you do working in your business. Lets just say that if you did this, you would have a pretty good customer base, especially if you were adding them to your dedicated followers.
As much as you may flinch at the idea of becoming famous, the more famous you and your business can become, the more you will reap the benefits of a successful business. How do you become famous?
Now that is the secret that no one tells you. It will revolve around some or more of these points
Become an Expert
Gain Credibility
Product desirability
Removing customer problems
Easily Found
Your X factor
…and there are others but finding answers around these items will start you in the right direction

I have just rebooted the server where http://billgray.biz sits. Servers are temperamental sons of riches. There is very little that goes wrong as, over time, the technology and community has done all in its power to automate problem handling but sometimes, just sometimes, it all turns to custard
So when your site goes down, in the short term, don’t worry. When a server goes down, alarm bells ring and the automated problem responses get into gear. Servers fire out emails like they are going out of fashion and it would be very surprising if no one knew of the dilemma.
If it is a problem, 9 times out of 10, the issue is already being handled. It sometimes just takes a little time to get it up and running again.
As you can see, its all up and running again. It was a simple matter of rebooting the system. You may ask why, why did it crash? why did that happen? I have found that asking questions like that do only one thing… cause the asker to lose sleep. Patience has a great way of ironing out all the problems
