Well, there is something that many people do not know. The internet is where you can start.<\/p>\n

Social media and the web offer us so much in terms of access to information, people, ideas, resources, and news.<\/p>\n

It is good but it is also filled with many scammers who are looking for fishy ways to make money fast, and the only way to do so is on the internet.<\/p>\n

The most important thing to do is to have a separate email for your business.<\/p>\n

Having distinct email accounts will help you organise separate areas of your business into buckets, provide opportunities for better collaboration with colleagues, and protect your business from spammy practices and potential threats.<\/p>\n

Do not reveal your private email address on public domain websites or social media groups.<\/p>\n

This is because, bots, spammers, and scanners, are always on the lookout for email addresses readily available online.<\/p>\n

So if you still want to post your email address on social media, you may want to limit who can see it to select contacts.<\/p>\n

Get yourself cybersecurity software that will be able to proactively send you alerts and protect all aspects of your digital life.<\/p>\n
