You already have
a firewall and multiple firewalls do not add protection. They actually
interfere with each other. You are better off to stick with the firewall that
came built into your computer. Instructional ‘Courses’ There are many
very good instructional courses available on the Internet. There are even more
instructional courses on the Internet that are totally bogus. They only offer
you information that is readily available for free and charge you large sums to
provide it to you. One of the very
worst ones that I have seen promises to teach you ‘data entry’. This course has
absolutely nothing to do with data entry or data entry work. It ‘teaches’ you
to sign up for affiliate programs and place ads in Google Ad Words for those
products. Affiliate
marketing can be a very lucrative Internet business. It isn’t learned easily
but it is a real Internet business. This program tries to disguise affiliate marketing
as data entry solely for the purpose of fooling young stay-at-home-moms,
retired people, and others into spending fifty hard-earned bucks on a program
that isn’t going to be of any value to them at all if they are looking for a
work-at-home job and aren’t prepared or able to put in the hundred plus hours
each week that are required to launch a successful affiliate marketing
business. Remember this.
Anybody with dollar signs in their eyes, a computer and an Internet connection
can advertise instructional programs. Some of these ‘helpful’ folks simply
gather information that is readily available on the Internet, package it, write
some slick advertising and then sell it to unsuspecting, hard working newbies
who just haven’t learned the ropes yet. Before you ever
sign up for a ‘course’ and pay money for it, do some research about the subject
being ‘taught’ first and then ask yourself these questions: Question #1: Can
I find this information for myself? Question #2: Is
this information that I really need? Question #3: Can
this information really help me? Question #4: Is
the information being offered what it appears to be? Question #5: Is
there a guarantee? Question #6:
Will I be required to spend additional money to implement the information? Question #7: How
stiff will the competition be? Question #8:
Does the ‘course’ assume that I have more computer skills than I actually
possess? Question #9: Is
the person teaching the course really knowledgeable or well-known? Question #10:
Does the advertisements sound too good to be true?
