Create systems to prevent this from happening again – You can buy your domain name for up to ten years at one time. You can pay attention to the reminders sent to you.

All these steps keep this from happening again, or better yet, ever happening. 7. Be prepared for pleasant surprise gifts in the middle of the crisis along the way – While dealing with this little crisis, there were several unexpected and wonderful results and blessings along the way. In addition to actually making money from this mess, I gained several new and great mentees.

One of my biggest worries was what to do about all the articles on www.EzineArticles.com about article writing and marketing with links back to my domain name now owned by someone else. This would have taken DAYS to change by hand. Before I could really even think about how to accomplish this, Chris Knight of www.EzineArticles.com stepped up and volunteered to put his staff on the changes first thing on Monday morning. Another class act among many to whom I am so very grateful.
