Is Asset Protection Legal?

Written by Floyd Tapia


Perhaps you've heard of or seen Hollywood's portrayal of Swiss Bank accounts, Offshore Trusts and Corporations, and Tax Havens of repparttar rich and famous as jet setting moguls live mysterious yet exciting lives.

But inrepparttar 104918 real world, although these same financial structures (most administrated by reputable and legal banks), have been around for hundreds of years, there are still many people who considerrepparttar 104919 above strategic asset protection entities as illegal.

I think we need to look at what they were intended to do. Asset or lawsuit protection laws were designed forrepparttar 104920 very purpose of protecting your assets from being frozen andrepparttar 104921 possibility of unjust forfeiture.

Still others consider asset protection a moral dilemma... something unethical or dishonest. This isrepparttar 104922 furthest thing fromrepparttar 104923 truth.

But, atrepparttar 104924 same time, I'm not trying to start a moral debate here nor am I recommending nor would any attorney in their right mind advise that you avoid paying a judgment or fine that you rightfully owe.

That being said, I feel you should be inrepparttar 104925 position to makerepparttar 104926 final verdict on what is fair and right.

Because when lifetime, incumbent judges and bleeding-heart juries stop handing out ludicrous decisions, then I'll berepparttar 104927 first person to tell you that you'll no longer need to protect your hard earned assets.

In Part One, we covered five free traffic generators. Here are five more ways to acquire no cost clicks:

You might not even be aware of it, butrepparttar design of your site itself - code and content - can bring more traffic your way.

Search engines "reward" pages that meet certain criteria (varies from engine to engine) by moving those pages higher inrepparttar 104917 search results.

If you're interested in tweaking your pages in hopes of climbing uprepparttar 104918 SERPs (search engine results pages), you'd do well to visitrepparttar 104919 three sites we spoke of in part one, in regard to search engines:

BARTERING FOR AD SPACE

If you're open torepparttar 104920 idea, you can gain some free publicity by trading your services or products in exchange for ad space.

Oftentimes, other webmasters are willing to trade out banner ads, newsletter ads, or sponsorships in return for work they might need.

"Barter clubs" exist, but you can also simply approach another site owner if you have a barter proposal you feel would be of interest to him or her.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SATISFIED CUSTOMERS

One of THE BEST sources of referrals is word-of-mouth advertising via your previous customers.

This accounts for a large share of my business and it's a real lifesaver in slow times (which inevitably occur). When your cash flow starts to more closely resemble a trickle, it's hard to plunk down more money on advertising. It's always great to have customers who are willing to do that advertising for you!

You'll be surprised at just how much business your previous clients can send your way. If they're happy, they have no problem saying good things about you and your business.

Plus, a recommendation from a friend is normally a much better advertisement than a paid one.

Be careful, though; word-of-mouth can backfire. If your customers are UNhappy, they still might be more than eager to "spreadrepparttar 104921 word" about your business - and that'srepparttar 104922 type of "publicity" you DON'T want.
