Making money online – how and why you should start

By Pete | @kingpetey | 17 May 2021

The word "financial security" has a lot of different meanings. It has the freedom to buy whatever they want, whenever they want. Others see it as a way to become digital nomads, while others see it to get out of debt. Whatever you want, if you are dedicated, you will achieve it.

If you are prepared to put in some thought and time, formulate a plan, and work on it until you succeed, side hustles or hobbies will easily turn into full-time jobs. If you're looking for some extra cash or want to turn your hobby into a full-time job, here's some financial and lifestyle advice, so you can make money online and have more freedom.

Start right now

The most difficult challenge you'll encounter while trying to make a change in your life will sound cliched, but it's real. People talk about their goals but never take the first step in making them a reality. It's always easier to delude yourself into thinking you're working on something rather than doing it. As a result, starting slowly and progressively is important. Don't be frightened; instead, jump right in. That's how people figure out if the work they want is right for them. It's how you figure out which business strategies work and which ones don't. Consider a few choices, try something you like best, and try something else if it doesn't work. If you find yourself procrastinating and complaining about how horrible it is when working on it, reconsider your expectations and how much you enjoyed what you thought you did. What makes it easier today is that the internet helps you to access information that you wouldn't or couldn't find otherwise. It's much easier to put yourself out there and eventually create a following for whatever you're doing. Although being online does not guarantee immediate success, it does mean that almost everybody nowadays has an equal chance, which is why it is so appealing.

Putting money to use

Many people began investing and trading seriously last year, and this trend will continue in 2021. All, from millennials to baby boomers, want to learn more about it, and they should! Forex trading is another excellent way to make profits. Everyone wants to learn more about this "modern" way of making money, which is why, if you're going to trade, you should know what you're getting yourself into. Investing in cryptocurrencies has the added benefit of allowing you to start small and gradually increase your investment. Once again, the internet made trading and investing accessible to almost all. We often refer to trading as "investing" since that is what it is. If you've decided to invest, do some research to find out what concerns you and look for a reliable Forex broker online.

Please visit websites such as Forex broker reviews that provide scam prevention and advice that are well-known in your region. These websites include a list of licensed Forex brokers and businesses in your area; if the one you're dealing with isn't on the list, move on. After that, you'll begin to think about investing and setting financial goals.

Create a plan

We spoke about how important it is to get started right away, whether it's a side hustle or rethinking your money management to see if you can make any changes. It also takes a solid plan to do what most people neglect to do: change it as needed. The start and the outcome are essential, but you must also know how to get there. Many things can go the opposite of what you wanted, which is why you should never spend more than you can afford to lose. That's why experimenting is important in small amounts. It may turn out to be even better than you expected. If you don't already have it, you should practice being more flexible. Whatever it is, you will excel and achieve financial independence by trial and error and listening to others. Best of luck!

On-line Spam ? How To Stop It?

By Pete | @kingpetey | 05 Apr 2004

Junk e-mail costs UK business millions of pounds a week in wasted time yet the government seems to be making little or no progress towards making it illegal. Both the EU and US have drafted up laws but experts say none go far enough to prosecuting the sources of spam.

Spam e-mails can be anything from saying you have a free university diploma, an approved loan or cheap viagra. E-mails like this are very cheap to send and normally cost the receiver more in time then the sender.

Similar annoyances through mail and telemarketing have strict guidelines as to what can or cannot be marketed and in what quantities but there are no laws or guidelines for e-mails. This is why your 12 year old child can be getting emails about extending body parts. There is currently no law against this which for many organisations and people is outrageous.

One organisation against fighting spam is CAUCE - The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email (here). They are primarily based in the US but have ties around the world to help stop spam. While they recognise that a large proportion of spam comes from the US but not all, is why legislation around the world needs to be put into place to stop spam.

Some corporations have taken an active role in trying to stop junk e-mail, one being Microsoft who have pledged to fight spammers. Microsoft have come up with various ideas, one being reported by ImAFish's Jonnie Ashley which suggests emails use a similar system to normal mail.

Until governments take an active role in fighting spam by making it illegal the option left to users involve filtering out junk mail. There are various programs about some are dedicated mail filters and some are built into mail clients.

One program is Mozilla Thunderbird (here) which has a built in junk mail filter which normally gets about 90% of spam. For the emails the Junk mail filter does not get you can set-up separate filters for words such as [email protected] and phrases such as ?approved credit card?.

Microsoft Outlook users can also configure their program to filter out junk email. Microsoft also provide a list of commonly used words in spam messages, these can be seen at here.

Programs such as Mail Washer (here) are also good at stopping junk email from reaching your in-box. However they are not always free and you often have to pay for the best features. .

Virus's are also a big program for e-mails, one of the fastest ways that virus's spread are through e-mail which is why a good e-mail client is useful for filtering out virus's.
