I focused my blog on WORK. Blogs and social media is indeed helpful and sometimes risky. We must be responsible in using both blogs and social media as our business/job because your name and the name of your company (if ever) is at risk. Nowadays hackers can use social media as a power to scam, spread virus, and use your identity to scam other people. Being a full-time blogger is indeed challenging but can be boring because you’ll be working on your own and it’s up to you how to get more clients and that is the challenge, to keep your job alive by finding clients. Nowadays social media is very useful when it comes to selling and buying. It is fast and reliable source for almost everything like bags,cars,clothing,and more. Most online sellers and shoppers are at risk of fraud so let’s be careful on what we sell,buy,and who we trust.
