Why You Should Start a Blog

0
0

A blog is absolutely indispensable for most business owners: it will help you draw unprecedented traffic, establish yourself as an expert and as a trusted friend to your customers, allow you to create more value, gain more customers, gain and share testimonials, and earn more money.

Having a blog allows you to have ongoing conversations with customers, where any other customers and prospects can personally witness how you deal with concerns, answer questions, and provide value.

You can also create polls and surveys to quantify your effectiveness and get real-time feedback on what your customers like and want to see improved. This type of interaction also tends to create a sense of community amongst users, and community translates into loyalty, and loyalty means increased sales.

A blog gives you more transparency, honesty, and accountability, and your customers will respond to that. It also happens to be one of the best ways to drive up your ranking in Search Engine Optimization, which means increased traffic to your site.

In short, a blog for a small business owner means more traffic, more customers, more feedback from the market, increased value to customers, and ultimately more revenues.

“These are all good things,” I can hear you say, “but I’m not a good writer!”

“What if I’m not a business owner,” you say. “Why should I have a blog?
Even if you don’t have a business, with a blog you can stay connected with family and friends, publish your passions and values to the world, network, create community, educate, share, create, discuss, and most of all, have tons of fun!

Best of all, with blog templates, your blog can also be a fully functional website, complete with a product store, static pages, forms, pictures, links, and more!

Most importantly, however, you should know that maintaining a blog can actually be an excellent business for you, as many professional bloggers literally generate $4,000 per month or more from their blog alone. Who knows, this might end up being a full-time job that you love and that makes you an excellent living!

Isn’t it time for you to start your blog?

What is “Short Selling”

0
0

After binge-watching season 1 and 2 of Billions my interest in the stockmarket got a big boost. In the TV drama they use a lot of stockmarket lingo which in the beginning was quite difficult to keep up with. To teach myself more about stocks and maybe even help some of you understand Billions I have decided to write some blog posts on the topic from time to time.

In Billions they several times say “go short”. Short selling means the sale of a security that actually is not owned by the one selling it, it is the sale of a security the seller has borrowed.

The motif behind short selling is that belief that the security’s price will go down, making it possible to buy it back at a lower price to make a profit.

Short selling is prompted by speculation or by the desire to hedge the downside risk of a long position in the same security or a related one.

This technique should only be used by experienced traders who are familiar with its risk as the risk of loss is theoretically infinite.

Further clarification of the technique. Trader A believes that the stock SS which is traing at $50 will see a decline in price.Trader A therefore borrows 100 shares and sells them, he is now “short” 100 shares of SS since he has sold something that he did not own in the first place.

A few days later, SS reports bad financials results for the quarter and the stocks falls to $45. Trader A decides to close his short position and buys 100 shares of SS at $45 on the open market to replace the borrowed shares. Trader A’s profit on the short sale (excluding commisions etc) is therefore $500. (100×50 = 5000 100×45 = 4500 5000-4500=500)

Another example is that trader A did not do as described above but decided to leave it open to earn more on a further price decline. But lets assume a rival company swoops in to acquire SS because of its lower valuation and announces a takeover offer for SS at $65 per share. If trader A now decides to close the short position at $65, the loss on the short sale would amount to $15 per share or $1,500, since the shares were bought back at a much higher price.

Don’t care too much

0
0

I have gone through a lot of things both personally and professionally the past years and the number one lesson learned is to not care too much. If every little or big mishap in your life makes you irritated and annoyed then you will never be able to enjoy life.

Honestly after the past years nothing really bothers me. I have realized that it is not worth wasting time on mishaps or people treating you bad, things happen for a reason, learn from them and move on. Like someone wrote the return on investment of not giving a damn is personal happiness, mental freedom and success.

Focus on your goal and not the obstacles you will meet on the way towards it.
