Recently, I decided to switch my web hosting company. I had been with my last hosting company for almost two years but I was having continuing problems with their system. So I switched and I am up and running without too much problem.
Everyday I receive hundreds of emails telling me how I can make $1,000's a month with out working, without referring anyone, without selling anything and without spending any money! Sounds great doesn't it - A universal dream!
Pop up windows - when you arrive, when you leave, when you click to another page! It's an epidemic!
I was at a site today where they started coming up so fast and so many that it froze my browser and I had to hit Control, Alt and Delete in order to close a couple of them so I could get back in control.
Too many people today look at an opportunity online, fall for the hyped claims and signup without thinking. You really need to take a step back and examine it before joining. Here are some things to consider.
As a publisher of an ezine for the last three years, I have continually tried to improve its content, format and delivery. As most online publishers know from experience, it is an uphill battle to maintain an up-to-date list.
SCAM - - a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation...
We are all afraid that some business we get into might turn out to be a scam. But sometimes the personal needs of individuals outweigh the thought process needed to recognize that something could be fraudulent. Many people are looking for ways to make extra money and the Internet can provide many ways to accomplish that need. But it can also provide an easy vehicle for individuals to lose their hard earned dollars.
There seems to be an ever increasing number of "Downline Builders" popping up on the Internet. Likewise there has been also a steady rise in the number of online "Multi-level" marketing programs. And why not! The Internet is an ideal marketing medium. It is cheaper than the way we used to market five or six years ago when I was involved in them by mailing to prospects through regular postal mail. Plus back then you also had printing and envelope costs too!
I receive hundreds of emails a day, lots of spam and lots of genuine advertisements. The genuine ones come from people that I do business with, from subscribers to my ezine, from ezines that I subscribe to, from affiliate programs that I am associated with and from potential prospects and advertisers. So I set aside some time each day, either early in the morning or late in the evening to do some surfing. This allows me to keep up on what is going on in the Internet business world.
How secure is your computer? Most of us have virus protection and probably feel pretty safe. But how many know that there can be many individuals out there who may be trying to snoop (or actually snooping) around your hard disk all day long? I would venture that there are not many sitting at their computer right now who have even thought about it!
I get a lot of questions from subscribers and visitors to our web site. Some I can answer outright, others I need to do a little research to find out for myself. We have been online now for about three years and started with little knowledge of some of the technical aspects of the online business process. When someone starts off their question of comments with "Joe, I don't have the slightest inkling of where to start", I know how they feel. I've been there!
