Internet Business: Use social networks to promote

If you have a service or product to promote, you must use all the new channels to promote your business. Some of these new social networks like YouTube, MySpace and Flickr have millions of members. How else can you get to a list as big as this to market to?

I have not had much time to sign up to and learn about marketing to these networks so I was looking around for some help on the net and I came across this book. It has simplified this process for me so much and saved me so much time. The book teaches you step by step how to get started on MySpace and it has helpfully listed all the groups that you can sign up to, to place your ads, a great shortcut. You can have a look at the book on How to Market to Myspace here.

I recently took a decision to make some massive action and really focus on resetting and achieving some real financial goals, as I’m fed up with not having all the choices I want in life. Well I’ve just found this mastermind group that I think will really make a difference. I’ve joined as I think this will really focus me on achievement and I thought you may be interested too. It teaches you investment techniques on property, which is not my area of expertise. It is however a great compliment to what I teach in the Take Control of Your Finances Course. If you are or just want to see just how mad I’ve become then have a look at this to turbo charge your financial education.

Are hedge funds affecting market information

There have been recent events which are prompting the market to question whether the activities of hedge funds are changing the flow of information to the market.

It is not secret that hedge fund now account for at least 50% of the trades on both the New York and London markets. Hedge funds can participate in companies by equity or debt and now increasing in the form of loans. They have been become major players in the opague debt market. This makes them privy to market moving inside information. This is raising some concern, especially from banks who are the traditional lenders and have separated this business from other parts of the bank to prevent sharing of insider information.

This has prompted trade association for lenders to draw up new guidelines on how confidential and material non public information is used. In hedge funds, it is difficult to have chinese walls as these firms are usually smaller and the same person who makes a decision on the loan is also the equity trader.

To deal with this issue, some of the larger hedge funds have however implemented information barriers. Some funds have imposed trading restrictions if they receive non public information and others have opted to receive only public information.

This issue of managing information is a serious one and it is very difficult to find the right answers although steps are being taken in the right direction.

Baby Boomers have to sell homes for retirement?

In a new study today in the UK, it found that 46% retirees of the baby boomer generation will be forced to sell their homes if they had to find money for care fees. A lot of people believe that the basic state pension, which is currently £84.25 a week will cover the cost of care. The average weekly cost of residential care is closer to £400 a week which leaves a massive funding gap or nearly £16,500 a year.

A lot of adults in this country are led by a false sense of security believing that one day, should they need care, it will be funded by the state out of taxpayer's money. The reality cannot be more different.

You have pay more taxes and work for longer - the Turner report

In the news today, the Turner report on pension reforms was published and the basic conclusion all around is that people in the UK will have to work longer and pay more taxes up front to feed the pot that is going to provide you with that tiny pension you are going to have to live on.

Are you going to rely on the state /company pension or do you have some alternative plans in place?

A lot of my friends that I posted this question to don't and I was really surprised as some of these ladies are at the top of their professions and industries and make 6 figure salaries but even they don't have any concept of financial planning.

That is the trend that I am seeing and I am hoping to redress this and empower all women to learn to make some solid financial plans for their future.

This Thursday is A day in the pension world where a lot of pension reforms are going to take place. If you want to read more about this and how it affects you have a look at this article.
