In recent years, the internet has provided a platform for individuals to build thriving empires from the convenience of their laptops. The pandemic, in particular, fueled innovative ideas and encouraged people to stay home, further accelerating this trend. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that the online world—despite its benefits—is far from risk-free.
