Retirement for Australians

The majority of Australians will outlive their super

A new report from financial services group Deloitte warns that more than
three quarters of Australians won't have enough superannuation to last them
throughout their retirement .

The report also finds that the increase in compulsory superannuation
contributions to 12 per cent - legislation for which was introduced into federal recently -
won't significantly benefit retirees until well after 2030.

In their report Dynamics of the Australian Superannuation System: the next years 2011-2030,
Deloitte finds Australia's superannuation industry will grow in value to more than
$6 trillion by 2030, but the average Australian just won’t have enough to comfortably live in retirement.

So what can you do?The conclusion is inescapable – you have to look after your own financial future.


Increase savings, increase earnings or both.

“How To Make Money From Google Maps”

by Peter Kroesche
Statistically speaking about Google and local search;
  • Over 2 BILLION local searches are performed online monthly!
  • Google gets 72% of all online search traffic.
  • 73% of all online activity is related to local content. (Google)
  • 1/3 of mobile search is locally based. (Google)
As you can see this is too good to miss. Either list your business in
Google Maps to generate traffic, get leads and make new sales.
or
You can charge local companies to get them listed in
Google Maps using the instructions below.
Getting listed on Google Maps is quick and easy.

First: Visit the Google maps local listing link - www.google.com/local/add.
If you don’t have a Google Account, it’s free to sign up for one.
Second: Fill in the form. Google will actually help to create a listing.
For example, it’ll ask you for your country and phone number.
Using this information, Google will quickly search to make sure
you’re not already listed. If not, it will then ask for more information
like website and address.
Third:  Add photos and video. You can upload up to five videos
about your self and your business.
Later you can upgrade your listing. There are actually several
things you can do, for free, that help generate interest
in your listing. The first two we’ve already mentioned:
photos and video. Reviews are also extremely valuable.
According to Google, reviews come from three sources,
“reviews written by Google Maps users, reviews sent to us
by third party providers and reviews collected from the web.”

Upgrading your listing is something you can do over time.
Add reviews. Add new videos and alternate promotions.
Google Maps is free and it may
turn out to be a very valuable profit generator.
Also you can learn what attracts people to your business,
 Google offers an abundance of information including the
keywords people use to find your business.
