“Hi Lynn. I have been looking to start a blog for quite some time now (I would love to make money from it and make it a successful online business) but cannot seem to get the push to do so.

I am worried about all of the identity theft, scams and such that have been going on and putting my personal information in when signing up for a domain name. I have heard also that sites have been hacked and certainly would not want that to happen. I would love some reassurance that this is safe. Thank you for any answer. -Stephanie”

I received this email from Stephanie yesterday, and decided to bring up the topic for open discussion. I’ll weigh in with my own thoughts as well, but would love to hear your thoughts. Any advice for Stephanie?
