Making Money Online

Bunnie has been asking me to help her out with her latest thing - she has decided that she wants to be an online entrepreneur, making money from building websites and promoting them. I thought at first she was being daft, but she sent me a link to these guys who pretty much lay out how to do the whole thing
Self Made Minds offer advice that can be used by anyone new to the internet, as well as a few advanced tips. I reckon I could manage to crank out a few adsense mini-sites as they describe in their article, but I would use a blogging platform such as WordPress to create the site then no technical knowledge at all is needed, and editing the site later is a piece of cake.

Wealth Building

Starting your path to riches as soon as possible is a great idea. If you start saving and investing in your teens or twenties when all your friends are out partying and building up debt then you are sure to have a comfortable life. The trouble is that wealth building just doesn't appeal to many young people.
Take the time out to plan your wealth strategy. Have a good long think about what you need at different stages of your life. Make a plan... don't be scared of planning - plans can be changed. I wish you well on your road to riches.

Business Credit Cards

Working in the City teaches you a thing or two. I know several of my contemporaries have built their businesses with business credit cards as their sole means of finance. Banks aren't too keen to lend in a traditional manner (ie. business bank loans) to new or high risk businesses, and securing a new business on your personal property such as a your home can be a bit worrisome.
Small business credit cards are an ideal way to raise the finance you need when expanding a small company. The rates are competitive when compared to bank loan rates, and they can even improve your businesses credit rating when used properly.

Investing for the Future

My job in the city on the financial markets leads me to research all kinds of financial products. Recently, Certificate of Deposit have been a favorite investment due to the guarantee that you will get your money back plus interest at the end of a fixed term; they are very stable investments.

Finding the highest CD rates takes some searching; many smaller banks offer CDs that have better rates than larger financial institutions - they have to to bring in the business. The highest CD rates usually come with longer term investments. Be sure to check the penalties before investing in a CD if you think there is any possibility of you withdrawing funds early.

Free Financial Advice

Did you know that you can get financial advice for free? Thats right, you don't need the expensive services of a financial planner when you're re-working your finances. The Citizens Advice Bureau offer free financial advice through their volunteer network, so even here in the City of London it is possible to avoid those big bills. If you need advice about your loans and credit cards, or have problems meeting repayments, you can contact them and they will do their best to help you out.
The first thing to do is visit their website and download some factsheets, from there you can make an appointment to meet one of their staff at a branch near you.

Credit and Loan Agreements

Most people I know in London have massive amounts of debt. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it is just a facet of modern living. If you want any kind of career these days you have to get an education, and they don't come cheap. So starting out with student loans and progressing quickly on to credit cards to pay for your studies leaves most people (those without rich parents) with a hefty bill to be paid off in adult life. I have been looking at re-structuring some of my debt to make it more cost effective, and was pleasantly surprised by the level of assistance offered by the UK government, especially their 'Money Made Clear' website.
