I just backed up my site by going to https://www.backupify.com
Before signing up I conducted a Google search and typed in .. “is backupify a scam” and could not locate a negative.
The cost to protect my sites was NIL. Plus I also had a physical reaction after that was done and actually let out a big breathe, I can only imagine the impact of losing your page and I now feel I have taken in part a step to at least be as protected as I can be.
The FREE option I understand is VERY limited and once this initial offer expires, anyone signing up after this will be charged a fee, the talk is around $3.00 to $12.00 per month, but as I understand it, if you sign up for free it will remain free.
People have taken the time to like your page… so they want to know what you are doing and what you can offer them, don’t loose those contacts.
If you think it cannot happen to you, and then I can introduce you to at least twenty companies I personally know who can confirm it does.
If you get a virus and you have to reload your entire computer, it could be that you may have affected your facebook page. Nothing is 100% safe.
Every time a new fan likes my page, I have searched their page and located their email, and created a database of “fans of Mdvs Business Services” that way if it ever goes down I can also email and ask them to relike a new page. But at least now I feel I can restore my old data.
So what can you do?
OPEN an account with Backupify. Backupify offer back up services for your social media accounts, including facebook, twitter. Up to three accounts are free; there are paid and unpaid options on this site, but I strongly suggest you look at the site and judge it for yourself.
The services that Backupify currently support are:
Gmail Twitter Facebook Flickr Photobucket Google Docs Zoho Basecamp WordPress Blogger Hotmail Delicious FriendFeed
Once you’re signed up for Backupify, the service performs scheduled backups at one of the 10 online services it supports, requiring only that you provide the login information for that site you’d like backed up. After you’re set up, Backupify ensures that your information is never deleted.
Please do your own research on this product and if you use the computer as your business lifeline as many of us do, please invest the time of about 15 minutes to research and the 5 minutes to sign up with this or any other back up service that offers support and protection.
For all your facebook marketing needs, set up of accounts, profile tabs and seminars on how to market on facebook, please contact me anytime.
