I guess irony of it is, collection lawyers, government agencies such as IRS and FTC, and everyone outside asset protection circle, make every effort to characterize legal asset protection as dishonest, fraudulent, or worse.

Of course, their motives are transparent. They viciously denounce anyone who successfully stop their efforts to collect or seize their assets which then disrupts stream of income flowing in their direction.

So, total asset protection is NOT illegal or a privilege; it is a freedom protected by U.S. Constitution. Imagine that.

I think most people would be totally surprised at how many of our politicians and well known corporate giants have gone offshore to safe guard their millions in assets.

Looking into asset protection and then taking action to protect your business and personal assets maybe one of most important and intelligent financial decisions you may ever make.

So, talk to an asset protection consultant and attorney now... before its too late.

Because cost of setting these protection devices in place will be ridiculously small compared to cost of losing your home, cars, retirement and investment accounts. Not to mention unimagineable stress. Do it now.

For example, say you sell your arts & crafts online. You could write an article with tips on how to boost sales using eBay auctions and then submit that article to newsletters and websites catering to crafters.

Make sure you require site or newsletter owner to publish your "resource box" in addition to article. A resource box is a four to eight line "bio" that runs at end of an article. Include your URL and info on your products or services too.

There aren't a lot of restrictions for what to include or not to include in your resource box, so be creative.

If you work at it consistently, benefits this promotional tool can yield are myriad.

Not only do you have link to your site from your resource box, but many places archive their old newsletter issues indefinitely online, so you get residual traffic, PLUS you build number of quality links to your site.

PARTNERING

Partnering, as I'm using it here, is somewhat similar to bartering for ad space, except instead of offering your service in exchange for ad space, you and other party(ies) exchange advertising.

There are lots of ways you can offer advertising, even if you don't sell ad space, per se, on your site.

You could include a review or write-up of your partners' service or product, or simply list them on your "links" or "resources" page.

Another idea: you probably send out follow-up emails, thank you emails, free reports, etc., right? If so, consider adding your partners' ads in one of those places.

There are countless possibilities when it comes to partnering. The first step is to get in touch with someone who runs a site on something of interest to your target market. Look for those in a complementary field (a site that sells templates might partner with a site that offers search engine submission; a site that sells sporting goods might partner with a company offering adventure vacations, etc.).

Once you've established a partner program with one or more sites, regularly analyze your sales data to make sure relationship is profitable for you. Work to strengthen good relationships and be on lookout for new potential partners.
