How Good Is Your Disaster Recovery Plan And How Can Financial Planning Help?

Friday 3 September 2010 @ 5:08 am

pCharles de Lastic, Managing Director of Bluebond Financial Planning, explains how good financial planning can help business recovery./p
pMost people understand the need for backup up their computers on a daily basis and even making sure another copy is kept off site to make sure data is kept safe in the event of computer breakdown, flood or fire.nbsp; Most sensible business owners have contingency plans in place to cover many eventualities with regard to running their business properly.nbsp; Nearly everyone has home and contents insurance./p
pSo why do people pay such little attention to the potentially biggest disasters ndash; the death, disability or serious illness of the main breadwinners?nbsp; Good financial planning is generally whatrsquo;s missing.nbsp; With it, these eventualities should be covered, or at least the consequences be discussed between partners, spouses and/or children/p
pstrongWhat are the main things that should be considered?/strong/p
pLike all good disaster recovery plans, you should look at all the possibilities and the potential implications on your family or business./p
pAsk questions, both personally (both spouses) and with regards to your business (all key people), if you are a business owner:/p
ul
liWhat are the financial implications of the death of this person?/li
liWhat are the financial implications of the disability of this person?/li
liWhat are the financial implications of the long-term serious illness of this person?/li
/ul
pstrongWhat should a good disaster recovery plan include?/strong/p
pWorking on their own, without a href=http://www.bluebond.co.uk target=_blankindependent financial advice/a, many people wrongly cover different people for the same level of insurance when the implications of the above scenarios are rarely the same.nbsp;/p
pa href=http://www.bluebond.co.uk/financial-planning-best/ target=_blankFinancial planning/a with an experienced financial planner should mean that you avoid the pitfalls of lsquo;going it alonersquo;.nbsp; For example, joint plans are generally bad advice (except for inheritance tax planning purposes).nbsp; Even covering your outstanding mortgage is unlikely to be correct as the financial implications are much wider and so the solution is more complex./p
pA mixture of term insurance (life and critical illness), whole of life assurance, income protection plans, accident, sickness or unemployment plans and private medical insurance together with the correct types of trusts will usually supply the most suitable solution./p
pstrongHow do I arrange some help with my financial planning?/strong/p
pGood levels of insurance are the foundation of a solid financial plan which should be regularly reviewed by an experienced financial planner.nbsp; The premiums are unlikely to cause you serious hardship but a lack of suitable cover will almost certainly do so.nbsp; Donrsquo;t let a disaster overtake you ndash; plan for it today.nbsp; You can find a financial planner via the Financial Services Authority./p
pstrongFurther questions on financial planning?/strong/p
pIf you have any questions, or would like some help from us, you can visit the a href=http://www.bluebond.co.uk target=_blankBluebond Financial Planning/a website to contact us.nbsp; Wersquo;d be happy to help you create a financial plan that includes disaster recovery options tailored just for you./p

pFlipping domain names can be an excellent source of income. A lot of online marketers resort to flipping domains to make extra money to pay their bills while developing their own products to sell.

A major component of being in business is learning to negotiate. The truth of the matter is that buyers will always try to get you to offer a lower price or to get more for the same price. Some flippers simply refuse to negotiate their terms. We feel, even though this may be a valid position to take, that you are better off learning how to negotiation and bargain effectively. Negotiating (or even agreeing to negotiate) with potential buyers will make them more likely to trust you and increase your chances of making a sale. Negotiation skills may come in handy by helping you bargain your way into a bigger sale! If you are offering a number of domains for sale then you need to invest some time to produce a portfolio. A portfolio is a great way to market more than one domain name at a time. Using a portfolio, you can offer all your domain statistics to any prospects. This helps you look like a legitimate seller and increases your professional reputation. The portfolio does not have to be extensive. It doesnt need to be more than a list of the names you are selling, along with their appraised values. Of course, the more information you provide on your domain names the easier it will be to sell them.br / br / Put your domain name on a website. Instead of holding on to it, you can make a much larger profit if you can show that the domain name is a money maker. Truthfully, it much harder to sell a stand along domain name than it is a website. Of course, building websites-even small ones-takes time. Instead of attaching a domain name to a website, it is much easier to just leave it alone. Building a website might not be in your best interests if you are pressed for time. At the same time, websites earn more money than names. br / br / A perfectly legitimate way to make online money is to flip domain names. In fact, it is so simple to flip a domain name that many internet marketers do it in their spare time to earn extra money. You can make a nice piece of change by buying and selling domain names if you are willing to put in the extra effort. This activity can be approached via numerous different ways. If you put more into it, you will get more out of it./p

pstrong/strongWhen itrsquo;s time to start driving traffic toward a website there are plenty of options for advertising. One of the most powerful and cost effective methods involves using a title=Adwords Advertising href=http://www.simply.com/en/info/adwords.php target=_blankGoogle Adwords/a. Although a seemingly simple advertising option, it does get the results publishers are after./p
pGoogle Adwords is one of several advertising vehicles offered by the company behind the Internetrsquo;s leading search engine. It relies on text-based advertising to drive traffic toward websites and help publishers realize the conversions they are after./p
pAdwords is a little different than advertising in the offline world. Rather than having to pay for an advertisement that may or may not produce results, this prospect costs money based on performance./p
pAlthough it requires a small one-time fee for activation, it then operates inside the confines of a budget advertisers are able to set themselves.nbsp; Advertisers pay out based on the quality of their ad and the number of clicks they receive from people interested in seeing what an advertiser has to offer. This is called pay-per-click advertising, but in Googlersquo;s case advertisers are able to set how much they are willing to pay per each click./p
pCreating an ad for this a title=Google advertising href=http://www.simply.com/en/info/google-advertising.php target=_blankGoogle advertising/a option is a fairly simple undertaking. All it involves is creating a headline and a few lines of text that include the display and destination URL. The most important factor of this type of advertisement is the keyword or keywords used. These words largely determine the placement for the advertisement./p
pAdwords works by matching an advertisementrsquo;s keywords with websites or search pages that match up to the cues provided by the words themselves. An advertisement with the keywords ldquo;camera equipment,rdquo; for example, might appear on websites that offer news about camera products or tips for photographers. It might also appear on a results page when a Google user searches the term ldquo;camera equipment.rdquo;/p
pa title=Google Adwords href=http://www.simply.com/en/info/google-adwords.php target=_blankGoogle Adwords/a is a powerful choice because of the targeting it provides and the potential traffic it can use. Google is a heavily trafficked search engine. The exposure that can be provide through the use of Adwords is hard top considering the financial exposure involved with the ads themselves./p
pWhen a cost-effective online advertising method is desired, Googlersquo;s Adwords delivers an option that can provide results. This is a highly useful tool for gaining traffic and potential conversions./p
