Regarding social media, I have a FB group, a FB page, a new YouTube channel (which doesn't seem to be catching on), a Twitter account, and a new Instagram account. It's hard to

Hi while the others have suggested Pinterest which is a very good choice, I would study my stats and find out where my visitors are coming from what exactly are they doing on my site then customize accordingly - increase / decrease activities

Opt-in email and email marketing is a great way to keep your visitors engaged -- you can use Aweber and it is free for the first 500 subscribers. Aftercall they say the money is in the list.

You could utilize later dot com free account for starters which you can post onto four social media channels.

If I think of something else I would jot it down.

Thank you!

Hi - definitely Pinterest. It's user friendly and ideal for your niche. Instagram is for younger age groups and difficult to build up a following.

Thanks so much. Maybe I'll drop Instagram... it's new, and instead, focus on Pinterest. I think I might also drop YouTube. I just set it up last week, but wow, is it labor-intensive. Thanks again, Diane, you have helped me in the past. I so appreciate you sharing your expertise!

You're welcome! Take a look at the past webinars. Jay did a 4 week series that takes you through Pinterest right from the start.

Will do!

Pinterest - The others are true social media platforms, lots of noise and hard to get peoples attention.

Where pinterest is not. Pinterest it's a visual search engine - people that go there are looking for specific things and Pinterest people are buyers. Perfect for your niche.

Thank you!!!

Hi - I just received an email from my info@goodolddoggie.com email to my whereislisanow@gmail address. It says it's from Vada and it is spam - selling sunglasses. How was this

I would contact site support and see if they can help.

I have done that, thanks!!!

Thanks so much, everyone. Don't you just love our group?! So supportive. :) Thanks again.

Yes handy in times of need :)

Yo, love it.

Great question I learned a lot.

It might not be hacked, it might just be spoofed. You can help protect against this by ensuring your SPF Records and DKIM Records are in place. SiteSupport can help assist you with this.

Thanks, I will contact them.

Chinese bots.

Same happened to me. I asked the question and that was the appropriate answer.

You can delete the webmail if you like and set up a forwarding email to your gmail, then you will be fine.

Thanks for your reply and for the resource. I am reviewing it now.

Hi - I have been working on building out https://goodolddoggie.com. I also purchased the domain names goodolddoggy.com and goodolddoggies.com so that if people type either one

I’m pleased to see you have it all sorted

Thanks! And it happened in a matter of minutes. :)

Yes site support are excellent. I have not had to use them yet.

Great question, and you've got great answers.

Do let me know if you need anything else. Have a nice day.

Thank you!

I was going to say contact site support but ChystopherJ has you covered

Thank you!

You're right, they are not redirecting correctly, I can see exactly what you can see. You will need to contact SiteSupport to investigate this, if you are sure you have the redirection in place correctly.

I am going to triple-check that I did it correctly. Thanks for your suggestion!

Site Support fixed it! Thanks!

That's great to hear and thank you for updating me :-)

It is redirecting correctly on my end. Have you tried clearing your browser’s cookies/cache and trying again?

That is so weird. I cleared the cache and restarted my computer. Did not work. I don't understand why it is working for you. Thanks for taking the time to check.

For example, by adding a default signature, and also by changing out the head icon with an or a logo. Is there a way to do this?

WebMail is very limited in what it can do. I use Thunderbird (free)

This is awesome, Marion! I'm going through your training video now. Thank you!!!

I cannot seem to get Siterubix to talk to Thunderbird - or Gmail, for that matter. I didn't realize I can use Gmail for the same purpose, as @AbieAJ suggested. It is my primary email address. Both platforms are giving me a similar message. I've attached the one from Gmail. It seems I've tried every combination of settings, but Siterubix does not like any of them. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here are the settings in Siterubix:

Incoming Mail Settings
hostname:
goodolddoggie.com
username:
lisa@goodolddoggie.com
password:
********
Outgoing Mail Settings
hostname:
smtp.siterubix.com   port: 25
username:
goodolddoggie.com
password:
**********

Did you remove the redirect first? You can't have direct email, such as through Thunderbird, at the same time as a redirect.

Within WA, you can create and forward. Any customizations, they're within your email provider.

Best wishes.

Thanks - are you saying I can connect the two? Other than forwarding?

I have always forwarded, I use gmail -- however, there's option to create a mailbox, try it out, see what options it gives you. That's websites, sites manager, site email.

Hi, great questions. At this time there does not appear to be a way to do these things (like you might do in Microsoft Outlook for example)

Thanks, blipka - I hope they add it someday!

Me too 👍😊
