Online safety: simple tips for everyone
Working online is great: you choose your own hours and you're your own boss. Protect yourself and your income at the same time with these practical basics.
Tip: make safety part of your routine — small habits, big effect.
Passwords and 2FA
Strong passwords
- Make them long (at least 12 characters).
- Mix letters, numbers and symbols.
- No personal info (social security number, date of birth, PIN).
- A different password for each site.
Two-step verification (2FA)
- Turn on 2FA for your most important accounts.
- Preferably use an authenticator app.
- Store backup codes safely (not in your email).
Phishing and suspicious links
Don't fall for fake emails
- Real companies never ask for your password via email/DM.
- Don't click on "log in here" links from messages.
- Are you in doubt? Go to the website yourself and log in there.
Watch out where you click
- Don't open unknown links, files or photos.
- Also pay attention in Skype/WhatsApp and other chat apps.
- Stay within the platform where possible.
Recognizing scams
Too good to be true
- "Free money", "super fast opportunities", "exclusive deals" = usually scams.
- Ignore and delete. Do not respond.
Privacy: what you never share
Keep it private
- Don't put your real name on screen.
- Don't share photos/videos of family or children.
- Remove location data from photos (turn off location on your phone/camera).
Separate work and private
- Use a stage name.
- Use a separate email address and (where possible) separate phone number.
- Never share your real name or address — not even with other models; keep it professional.
Physical safety
What you show
- Use a neutral background; no documents or outside view in the picture.
- Avoid recognizable places, license plates or unique furniture.
Location & mail
- Don't share your location or schedule live.
- Preferably use a PO box for mail.
Mental well-being and boundaries
Boundaries
- Set clear rules (what you do/don't do).
- Block or mute anyone who crosses your boundary — without feeling guilty.
Self-care
- Take breaks. Sleep and eat well.
- Talk to someone if something is bothering you.
Collaboration and consent
Clear agreements
- Only work with adults (18+).
- Discuss in advance what is/is not okay. "Yes is yes, no is no."
- Record agreements briefly (chat/message). Do not share data from others.
Quick checklist: strong passwords + 2FA on, never click on login links from messages, don't share private info/location, separate work and private, keep boundaries — and update your security settings regularly.
