How to find dividend shares in 2021

ASNF 4 days ago

Last year saw many firms suspend or halt their dividends. Times were tough, and uncertain, and companies needed to make cuts. Though we are hoping for better now, there is still much uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, vaccines, and the economic impact of lockdowns. With all this to worry about, here is what to look for when selecting dividend shares this year.

My top three criteria for dividend shares in uncertain times

Many of my normal rules for selecting dividend shares go out the window when times are risky. However, some become more important than ever. Even in these uncertain times, there are strong companies out there performing well. Some of these firms pay dividends. If their shares are trading at lower prices now, then it may be possible to lock in high yields.

Trump to leave office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover

ASNF 4 days ago

During the first three years of Donald Trump’s presidency, the economy did quite well. The unemployment rate hit a 50-year low, income growth doubled, and the economic expansion he inherited grew into the longest in American history.

But that all came to a shrieking halt when COVID-19 hit.

In a two-month period, February to April 2020, the unemployment rate soared to an 80-year high and the number of employed Americans fell from 152.5 million to 130.3 million. Those 22.2 million job losses set U.S. employment back to 1999 levels.

Since, the economy has moved from contraction to expansion and seen 12.3 million jobs return. However, it hasn’t been enough to offset the job losses that occurred during the pandemic.

That means that Trump will become the first post–World War II president to see employment fall during his presidency. It last occurred when Herbert Hoover left office in 1933 amid … Read more

Your high-tier offers aren’t always the biggest profit drivers in your business.

You’d be surprised to find that sometimes, your low-ticket or mid-ticket offers might be your biggest source of revenue. The thing is—not every business owner knows what their profit drivers are. Since revenue is only one part of the equation, profit drivers can be hidden in plain sight.

Let’s shine some light on the profit drivers you didn’t know existed. As an ELITE Coach and founder of Jeronamo Solutions, Monique Morrison has figured out exactly how to know what products and services are bringing in the cash—and which are burning through it.

Why Thought Leadership is an Essential Marketing Tool for Your Business

ASNF 4 days ago

Moving Past the Jargon: Why Thought Leadership is an Essential Marketing Tool for Your Business For a while there, the term “thought leadership” seemed destined for the dustbin of marketing history. Part jargon, part cliche, the term became synonymous with personal brand builders who plied their trade in breathless LinkedIn posts or at TEDx talks held in hotel conference rooms. Fortunately, savvy marketers rescued the thought leader from this ignominious fate by refocusing the concept into a powerful business growth strategy.

Today, thought leadership is a content marketing approach that positions a company, executive or other subject matter expert as the go-to resource in their field. Influential thought leaders produce content that answers their customers’ questions, provides solutions to pressing problems or offers the audience a new point-of-view to consider.

When executed correctly, these campaigns include their own strategies, tactics, goals and measures to judge effectiveness. As those … Read more
