I didn’t sign up for your newsletter

I go to a lot of conferences.  It’s a great place to meet new people, start conversations and solidify relationships.  There’s always a lot of networking involved and I always come home with gaggles of business cards.  We all do right?

When someone hands you their business card, you reciprocate with one of your own.  Then, a week later I would magically start to receive newsletters I never signed up for.  You too?  Sometimes there’s an unsubscribe at the bottom – other times there’s not.

Correct me if I’m wrong but when I said, “Hi it’s nice to meet you!” the next words out of my mouth were NOT “please sign me up for your newsletter…” were they?

I thought I’d be smart and start handing out a different card at conferences.  That still didn’t work.

Then I switched to just stickers.

Great buzz and you definitely stand apart from the crowd but I still get the crap newsletters.  How’s this instead…

JUST STOP IT!!!

Can you hear me now?

He's an avid hockey fan, rides a mountain bike, sometimes rides a road bike, has a few motorcycles (he had a really fast one, bought a cool orange one, rode a really slow one, and now,a perfect "BDR Weapon"). If that isn't enough, he makes cheese and sourdough bread, loves strong beer and good red wine, and poorly plays the Mandolin.

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
