There was a time when I almost clicked on a link in a pop - up ad. It looked really appealing, like it was for a great deal on something I wanted. But then I remembered that clicking on random pop - up links could be dangerous. It might lead to malware being installed on my device or my personal information being stolen. So I closed the ad instead. This small incident is an online safety story that reminds us to be cautious about what we click on while surfing the web.
Well, my online story began when I started an online course. I had always been interested in graphic design. Through this online course, I not only learned new skills but also got to interact with the instructors and other students. We would share our works in progress, give feedback to each other. It was a great experience that improved my skills a lot.
I once had an experience where someone constantly sent mean and offensive messages to me on a social media platform. They criticized my appearance and made untrue accusations. It was really distressing at first, but I chose to block the person and report their behavior to the platform. Eventually, the harassment stopped.
My online shopping story is about a pair of shoes. I had been looking for a particular style for a long time. I found them on an e - commerce platform. I read the reviews which were mostly positive. After ordering, I was a bit worried about the size. But when they came, they fit perfectly. I was really happy with my purchase.
I once received an email saying I won a huge lottery. They asked for my bank details to transfer the money. I was excited at first but then realized it was a scam. I didn't give my details. It was a clear attempt to steal my money.
Alibaba is another remarkable online business success story. Founded by Jack Ma, it began as a business - to - business (B2B) e - commerce platform in China. It aimed to connect Chinese manufacturers with international buyers. Alibaba then expanded into other areas like Taobao (a consumer - to - consumer or C2C platform) and Tmall (a B2C platform). It used technology to build trust between buyers and sellers, for example, through secure payment systems. Now, Alibaba is one of the most valuable companies in the world, influencing global e - commerce and logistics.
My online friendship story began on a social media platform. I noticed someone's interesting posts about traveling. I reached out, and we started sharing our travel experiences. It was amazing how we could connect so well just through text. We even planned a trip together later.
I don't have a personal online gambling story because I've never participated in it. Online gambling is often associated with high risks, including the potential for financial losses and addiction. It's also illegal in many places.
Another good one is 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?'. In this story, a brown bear is asked what it sees, and it answers with different animals like a red bird, a yellow duck, etc. Each animal then asks the next what it sees. It has bright illustrations and repetitive text which is perfect for 5 - year - olds to follow along and learn about different animals.
I started my online selling journey with old books that I no longer needed. I listed them on an online marketplace. There were so many similar listings, so I had to price mine competitively. Also, I made sure to respond quickly to any inquiries. Eventually, I sold a whole set of classic novels to a book collector. It was really exciting and made me realize the potential of online selling.
