Online Backup – Carbonite? Mozy? Crashplan?
CrashPlan (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
One of the things that’s been on my “To Do” list for a long time was to set up with a online backup and recovery service.
Last year I signed up with Mozy, but when I found out that they do not support unlimited backup, I cancelled that. Falling prey to modern advertising, I figured the alternative was Carbonite, so I put that on my infamous “To Do” list and promptly neglected to do it due to the other things that took its place at the top of the list.
Finally I decided, “Today is the day!” I’d had friends who lost their data and I certainly don’t want to go through that. But with the clarity that comes with putting something back to the top of the list, it occurred to me that certainly there were other services. So, before jumping in and downloading Carbonite, I took some time to research. Read more…

180 Websites To Avoid with Work At Home Truth
Paul Schlegel at Work At Home Truth has a new warning blog post up, “180 Websites To Avoid”.
Warnings about Online Profit Masters tops Paul’s list. I’ve not seen this site, but based on the previous review blog post on it, it has many red flags in the advertising. The Utah Better Business Bureau gives them an F rating, not because of complaints, but because they are not responding to requests for information from the BBB. Here’s their explanation for the low rating.
Factors that lowered Online Profit Masters’ rating include:
- BBB concerns with the industry in which this business operates.
- BBB does not have sufficient information to determine how long this business has been operating. BBB made one or more requests for background information from the business. BBB has not received a response from this business and/or has not been able to verify information received from this business.
- BBB does not have sufficient background information on this business. BBB made one or more requests for background information from the business. BBB has not received a response from this business and/or has not been able to verify information received from this business.
Paul’s research shows that Online Profit Masters may have links to The Online Hosting Network. Paul includes 129 sites that may be connected to that. I found another posting from 2009 about this group that has a rather disturbing discussion about it. You can check that one out at Electron Plumber.
If you are serious about creating an internet marketing business, I suggest you check out Paul’s article.

Online Marketing Advertisements Red Flags
Red Flags to watch out for
I receive Paul Schlegel’s Work At Home Truth emails and generally find them quite useful. Today’s message is about a particular system that is out, eMarketing Online System. I’ve not reviewed that system personally, so cannot render judgement on it. My purpose in sharing about the review with you is that Paul uses it as a case study to point out the red flags to watch out for in looking at any work from home program.
Do your home work
If you are looking for online business or work opportunities, you need to learn to do some research. Here are a couple of quick tips.
1. Google: The quickest method is to do a search for the name of the system on Google or another search engine. However, when taking this approach, be sure to check to see if the review is actually a sales pitch. There are many review sites that are only providing a supposed review when in reality they are an affiliate site trying to sell you on the system. If the article you are reading includes a link to the sales page for the product, it’s a sales page disguised as a review.
2. IMReportCard: Check to see if the system/product is listed on IMReportCard. This is a site that contains basic info about systems and persons, but each page also includes reviews from readers. You can get some really detailed information quite easily using this site.
Need more info? Go back and check out the WorkAtHome review article for those all important red flags. Here’s the first one, and it’s the one that most people fall for. Don’t believe the “As seen on” claims. It may have been seen on those sites or TV channels as a paid advertisement.

$100 a Day Article Writing Blueprint
Review: "The $100 a Day Article Writing Blueprint - How To Use a Unique Twist To Article Marketing NO ONE ELSE Is Using - And Mint Your Fortune Online!"
I discovered this plan within just the last few days and immediately started to work on the first batch of articles.This approach is so simple, yet it never occurred to me before!
I am convinced that this may be just the ticket for a whole lot of you who are seeking a REAL way to create an additional income without making a big investment in time or money before seeing returns. What I really appreciate is that there are no claims for this to be an "overnight" success. It takes consistent effort, but with only a minimal investment of time an money.
If you like writing or are willing to learn the basics of article writing, you CAN do this. It is startlingly simple.
Your initial investment is only $14 and even that is refundable. Pick up the report. Read it. If you don't feel it is worth the $14, get your money back. No problem.
The review below is by Dr. Mani, the creator of this blueprint. Please check it out. It is worth a few minutes of your time to read it. Even if it's not for you, it may be just the ticket for someone you know.
