Twelve months ago I was penning my annual Christmas message at the tail end of a difficult year and here I am again, 365 days later, writing something similar. For many however 2009 has been even tougher. Redundancies picked up across the year for IFAs, administrators and para planners, with the job market shrinking as well. This was of course to be expected, we were experiencing a major recession that was bound to have adverse affects on both the number of consumers requiring advice and the number of opportunities for people within the industry. But being prepared didn’t make life any easier.

Should we though allow ourselves to become more optimistic? Dare we? On the positive side markets are cyclical and our economy seems to be through the worst, so IFA jobs and paraplanner jobs should start to appear in the vacancy listings more often. This has started to happen on the technical support side, as alluded to in previous market comments, but sustained evidence of a recovery in the amount of IFA vacancies is somewhat harder to find.

But what are we if without hope? We certainly don’t expect a return to normality any time soon but the general consensus seems to point towards a better time ahead, with recent figures regarding the London financial services market pointing to an upturn. New job opportunities rose 15% in October 2009 compared to September 2009, although this is still 19% down on 2008 figures for new jobs and 23% down on new candidates. While demonstrating we have some way to go, the upside means that there is plenty of growth left to get anywhere close to the figures of 2006 and 2007.  Read more...

Before you start to market online businesses, do your research. If your business is not new, you may feel you don’t need to do this step, but here’s something to consider: If your business is not making sales, you’re not providing a solution people are actually searching for. The two most important research tasks are keyword research, and forum research.

Keyword Research

1. Start with a keyword research tool and type in the most obvious key phrase for your topic. So, for example, if your site sells antique spoons, you would type that phrase. The keyword research tool will bring up a list of variations on that key phrase that people are actually searching for.

2. Sort the results by competition – lowest competition at the top. You don’t want keywords that already have too much competition.

3. Now look down the list for keywords that have at least 1 000 monthly searches, and not much competition, and make a list of these.  Read more...
