Is Your Wireless Network a Home Security Breach?
By Jan Sepstrup
Wireless networks for home computers are becoming more and more popular but do you know how to protect your Wi-Fi network?
A recent survey from www.wi-fi.org shows that protecting your wireless network has become one of the top three issues in home security. According to the survey the top three concerns about home security was:
* Locking windows and doors
* Installing a home alarm system
* Securing your wireless network.
More than 40 percent of the survey respondents felt that a protected Wi-Fi network was an important part of creating a safe home.
Is your neighbor using your Wi-Fi network?
Did you know that 17 percent of Americans thinks it's ok to use someone else's network. The wast majority thinks using your neighbor's Wi-Fi is like stealing. They don't like their neighbors borrowing their signal without their knowledge.
Most new laptop computers have access to Wi-Fi networks as a standard feature. Try taking your laptop for a drive in the neighborhood and you'll probably discover that your computer can connect to several networks - especially if you live in the city. Some "Wi-Fi snatchers" even put small graffitti marks on walls indicating where your can find an open network.
Only seven out of 10 respondents in the survey had activated their Wi-Fi network security - that leaves 30% of networks wide open. Securing you network does require a little technical knowledge, but most systems come with an easy step-by-step guide for setting up the network security. When you have secured your network you can really enjoy the freedom of Wi-Fi without worrying about bandwidth theft.
Have you checked if your Wi-Fi network is secured?
Can you take your laptop computer across the street and still access your home network? Does using your network require you to logon to the network? If not your network is probably wide open so everyone in the neighborhood can use your network. Maybe it's time to find the manual to your system and start doing something about your Wi-Fi security before someone starts stealing your bandwidth or worse - gets access to you computer.

Warning - The Skinny on Online Survey Businesses
Getting paid to take online surveys is a legitimate work at home Internet business opportunity. Many sites, however, that say that they offer you a home Internet survey business opportunity are really offering you only the opportunity to pay upfront money for a listing of those who will pay you to take surveys. Most of these firms you could have found for yourself, and some aren’t even current. One consumer advocacy group reviewed hundreds of sites and firms offering survey taking as a work at home Internet business opportunity. Of the hundreds they reviewed they were able to recommend only five.
It’s so easy for a netpreneur to set up a Web site offering to pay users for taking online surveys. All it takes is a few hours. There are no surveys from this site, more often than not. These sites primarily turn out to be only a work at home Internet business opportunity for the netpreneur that set up the site. All others pay upfront and get little of value in return. Even if the lists they offer are any good or the links work (which many times they don’t) these are quite often companies that again want upfront money for an alleged work at home Internet business taking surveys.
The fees for the initial directories can be as $100. What you get for your money is usually a directory that is out of date, links that don’t work, phone numbers that are disconnected or reassigned, and email addresses that bounce back. You don’t find any customer service assistance or any refund offer. Once you start asking for a refund due to your inability to start a work at home Internet business opportunity from the material you paid them for, the refuse to reply and then the site is shut down after several dissatisfied buyers. These schemers aren’t gone, though – nor are their schemes. They just pop up on the Web under a different company name and different domain. Even when these alleged work at home Internet business opportunity sites are live their navigation is generally poor, information such as contacts is inadequate and some of the pages don’t work.
The five sites that the consumer advocate agency recommended as legitimate paid survey work at home Internet business opportunity firms charge upfront fees up to $60 but actually have staff dedicated to helping you find survey clients and assignments. They all offer a 100 percent guarantee of your money back after as many as 45 days. The actual honoring of this agreement has been verified by the agency with each of the five paid survey firms.
With these paid survey sites, the work at home Internet business opportunity may not make you rich but it’s a good income. What you can expect for your upfront fee is as many as 25 offers each day to take online surveys for which you are paid about $15-$25 each. Some of them, though not most, pay as much as $75. The lower end payment surveys amount to about 5-15 minutes of your time, while the higher paying surveys might take 30 minutes. So, a 20 hour week would provide you with a median monthly income of $1600. Not bad for something will the many benefits of work at home Internet business opportunity projects – little if any overhead, no dress code, no training or experience required and hours that you set for yourself.

Hot Tips about Paid Internet Directories
Using a paid Internet directory involves more than just signing up for the service. You need to understand how to best utilize the tools and services a paid Internet directory provides. Following are general tips to follow when you are using a paid directory.

Paid Directory Tip #1: Start with www.listopt.com as it is not as expensive as www.worldwidelist.com.

Paid Directory Tip #2: Always use the “Double Opt-In” feature in the paid Internet directories. This double checks that the subscriber really wants to subscribe to your list. In Double Opt-In, the customer signs up for your list at the paid directory (www.listopt.com or www.worldwidelist.com). They provide their name and email address. Then the paid directories (www.listopt.com or www.worldwidelist.com) send a verification email to the customer. The customer must click on a link to verify that they actually want to receive your newsletter. You are only charged after the customer verifies their subscription through the second email link. The “Double Opt-In” feature enables you to receive higher quality subscribers that are more likely to buy your product or service.

Paid Directory Tip #3: Don’t forget to include a Signature file. The signature should be at the bottom of your emails. The signature text should give your letter closing, name, and website link to your squeeze page. You want to send subscribers to your squeeze page so that they will buy your product or service.

You don’t want to write the signature text each time you write your email. You can set up a signature file in your email program. You can save it so it is automatically placed at the bottom of each of your emails.

Paid Directory Tip #4: Paid directories can lead to a joint venture partnership with the webmaster. Joint venture emails are about more than just selling products. Emails also provide content and information about new products or services. You can create a joint venture with another Internet business. They can send out your email to their list. You can send out their email to your list.

For example, you might be in need of bonuses. Seek out a joint venture with another Internet business. They may have bonuses that they will let you use. Make sure when you promote these bonuses that you provide the monetary value of each bonus. The bonuses are free, but it will let the customer know how much value they are getting for free.

In a joint venture you can exchange promotions, tips, and emails with other Internet businesses. You are working as a team. You combine your resources and customer lists. It is a business exchange.
