Are you looking to be successful at a home business without a college degree? If anyone tells you that you have to have a college degree to be successful, they are out of their tree. I am a freelance content writer who recently branched out in to the world of freelance writing and I am successful at it.

 

Yes, everyone defines success differently, and I define it as being able to support ones self at their job. I work hard to be successful, I run a household on what I make at my home business, and it is not what my college degree is in.Anyone can succeed in freelance writing as a home business if they have determination, a grip on the English language and a solid internet connection. I work long hours each month to be successful and it does not stop once I write the article either.If I just wrote an article a day and said that is enough, I would fail. I write 6-8 articles a day for various web sites at least five days a week, sometimes I will write all seven days but it helps me in the end.

 

I am careful how I write my articles, if I write for Helium or Associated Content I make sure the articles are written with a technique called SEO, which will allow the search engines to find those articles easier.

Without SEO, I would have to promote these articles in various places around the Internet, which is time consuming. I am successful at a home business because I utilize SEO on 95 percent of my articles. I also use automatic posting of my articles to social networking places like myspace, facebook, and twitter.

 

When I do not employ the SEO techniques I have learned, I notice a big difference in the visits I receive but some articles are not meant to be SEO'd. Knowing the difference of when to use the technique can help you become successful at a freelancing home business without any college degree.

I do have a college degree actually I have two. One is in liberal arts and the other is in computer information systems, but neither is definitive of my success here online at my home business. I could have succeeded at this home business by simply paying attention in school as I was learning grammar rules and such. I also increase my chances if success by reading a lot of material and surfing for new ideas with which to write my articles on.

 

I am successful at my home business at a freelance writer because I put much effort into it, and you have to in order to bring in the cash. There are days when I do not write much, but

"Koobface" worm or "Facebook Worm"

Having just finished battling some nasty viruses on my home computer,
I looked at the news today and realized something: There is no rest
for the weary. The "Koobface" worm or infamous "Facebook Worm" that
was first discovered last July has made a comeback, attacking users on
social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace. Needless to
say, the worm has been improved. "Koobface" Worm Attacks Facebook,
MySpace and Other Social Networking Sites

This new and improved version of Koobface is seen as an invitation
from a friend of the account owner. It invites you to click on a link
and view a video on a counterfeit YouTube site. Everything may look
alright to the average user. The video even has fake comments and
video responses.


However, when you try to watch the video, a pop-up
states that you need to install Adobe Flash plug-in to view it. When
users attempt to download the fake plug-in, they really download a
Trojan horse program that gives the Koobface creator(s) control over
the computer. The worm then takes over your social networking account,
sending the same message to your own friends. According to The
Washington Post, other networks currently seeing evidence of the
Koobface worm are hi5.com, friendster.com, myyearbook.com, bebo.com
and livejournal.com. Engineers at Trendmicro.com have seen the worm at
tagged.com, netlog.com and fubar.com.

The new worm is clever and knows how to pull in the tiny details
necessary to fool someone into thinking it is the real deal. The
YouTube video, besides having comments and responses, even lists the
author as the friend who sent you the message. The worm even pulls the
friend's picture from the social networking site. The original
Koobface worm had two variants and was first discovered last July by
secure content developer, Kaspersky Lab. These worms,
Win32.Koobface.a. and Win32.Koobface.b, attacked MySpace and Facebook
respectively and operated in the same way as this newer strain.

How do you keep the worms out of your computer? Don't invite them in
in the first place. Basic Internet awareness and keeping your
computer's antivirus updated and running every day is enough to keep
you safe. Facebook's Security page offers several helpful hints in
response to the Koobface infections and for everyday use: Never Click
Suspicious Links: They could be unknowingly sent from your friends if
they are infected with viruses or malware. Never run any ".exe" files
without first investigating what they are. Do your research. Keep your
browser updated.
"Koobface" Worm Attacks Facebook, MySpace and Other Social Networking Sites.

Have a Unique, Strong Password: Use different passwords for all your
accounts and ensure that they will be hard to guess by using a variety
of numbers, letters and punctuation marks. Run Anti-Virus Software:
Make sure you have some sort of software and run a scan every day.
This will keep you on your game and your computer safe.
