Usernames and Passwords

Hey fellow readers,

I know I haven't updated for about a week when I promised I would do so by posting a tutorial on how to take a screenshot for when you want to post payment proofs for your readers to see.

Well, I have been quite busy. I am working on a passion of mine and setting up a new website for it, so I haven't had much time to dedicate to my online money making lately.


But I want to address something of great importance in general and not just in sites where you are looking to make money from.

This has to do with your username and passwords.

As we all know, the internet isn't 100% safe and you need to be careful in many ways while here.
Now the main concern is your password. Never use the same password/PIN for two sites.

I use many sites and I have a completely different password for each one of them.

You can look HERE to find some tips on how to create strong passwords.
Having different passwords is one thing, but making them strong is another.

You never know which site can be a scam and which is not.
If you use one password for most of your sites or even all of them,
you could fall into lots of trouble if someone gets their hand on your password.

I also never use the same pin number on any site!
Some sites require a pin number to determine if it is really you
and not an intruder. You usually cannot access any of the more important
features to withdraw money or edit profiles (email addresses), etc without this PIN.

Remember, it's your safety. So take the necessary steps. It may seem like extra work
but it is worth it. I have read about some people who didn't get off too easy cause of having the same password or pins for their websites.

Hope this has been some useful information.

Have a good one and keep safe!
Roxanne

I get $20 for a 20 minute survey!

Guess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying me for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So large companies pay millions of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
