DiversyFund Looks at Long Term Investment Strategies
Long-term investments are the ones that cannot be easily liquidated at a moment’s notice or used for day-to-day expenses. The typical long-term investment is held for a year or more, sometimes with the expectation that the investment will never be sold. DiversyFund is a company dedicated to helping everyday people build wealth like the 1%. Below, DiversyFund’s founder and CEO, Craig Cecilio, shares more about long-term investments that offer diversification to your investment portfolio.
Investing in real estate is an excellent option for long-term investment. The typical real estate investor purchases a property and holds it for an expected increase in value or rents it out using the rent to bolster his or her income. Real estate that has been purchased through a retirement plan is also held for a longer period of time in order to realize a higher profit.
For those interested in investing in multifamily real estate, many investors end up buying into Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Some firms pay out dividends, but DiversyFund has a different philosophy with their private REIT. “Instead of paying dividends, we focus on accelerating the growth of wealth by reinvesting the money. We focus on growth and taking advantage of compounding interest to build wealth over the foreseeable future,” stated Mr. Cecilio.
When done well, investing in real estate is one of the most profitable means to build wealth. You can benefit from tax deductions, appreciation of your asset and have a steadfast method of protecting yourself from inflation.… READ MORE ...

SEO Learning Techniques for Beginners
There are many things in SEO that if done make your site worse for the long term. A kind of sporadic link building, sporadic pages (using robots, all automatic, etc.), and other things that are now in demand by most new students.
It could be in the minds of beginners (who might be one of you), SEO is something difficult that requires coding skills, requires special abilities, and can only be run by a handful of people.
As long as you know, that opinion is not entirely true. The following are the most common mistakes, including:
1. Too focused on keyword density
Try to write articles or posts on your website naturally, don’t think too much about keyword density. What is important is that your target keywords appear in these posts, whether in the Title, paragraph beginning or end.
2. Bold, Italic and Underline are used excessively
Another mistake that is often made is to overuse Bold, Italic and Underline. Even though this method is no longer effective in increasing the ranking of your website or blog, it will actually disrupt the convenience of your website visitors.
3. Blog Loading Speed is not noticed
A beginner search engine optimization often doesn’t pay attention to the loading speed of the blog or website it manages. In fact, Google is very concerned about the speed of a blog or website so that Goole users get the best experience.
Therefore, make your blog or website easy to access with fast loading. Because, websites … READ MORE ...
Derisking To make Your business Much More Attractive To Venture Capital Investors
Derisking would be the method of removing threat components from your enterprise in an effort to make it additional eye-catching to an outdoors investor or to an outside buyer. It’s among the most significant variables in the grooming approach as a way to be an desirable corporation to invest in i.e. “Investor Ready”.
There are dozens of areas and hundreds of ways in which a business may be exposed without knowing it. In the normal course of business an owner may not worry about these factors, as they are within the “comfort zone” of operation. For an external party to get involved however, they need a much more transparent organisation so they are not confronted at a later date with skeletons in the closet.
It is important because businesses already face uncertainty. And while a venture capital investor may have a reasonable tolerance for risk, they will not welcome unnecessary risk. The goal is to control as many areas of risk as possible, so at least the risks are known. Most companies who have had an internal focus (i.e. have focused on sales, marketing and operations in order to grow) have not thought about all the areas in which they are vulnerable.
The process of derisking limits the areas of exposure, and therefore decreases exposure to uncertainty. It also increases the chance of success through improvements in clarity in almost all areas of the business.
Derisking falls into two areas – one is simply clarification (i.e. creating a … READ MORE ...
Reaching The Risk Capital Investment
A lot of people these days are trying to start their own business. However, there is one constantly persistent problem, which haunts the dreams of everybody – where do I get money?
There are a lot of opportunities, and most head for the so-called Venture capital or Risk capital investors, who are ready to feed you with a hefty amount of money, provided that you appeal to them. This is no easy task, and you will probably have to wage bloody competition with around a 1000 other enthusiasts. However, once you are in for the interview, you have a real fighting chance.
The first step along the way is application. This is the biggest fight, as you will most commonly not have any social interactions with the investors at this level, and you will need to prove that you are good only in text and video form.
You should prepare your business plan well, lay it out in as little words as possible, and make sure that you are not selling monkey diapers, because we all know this idea failed a long time ago. A good YouTube clip is always a great idea, because they would like to see your face and hear your voice.
And that is it – you are called for an interview, you are set, you are the greatest!
Well, it does not work like that. Even if you manage to fight off the first 900, you will be called to an interview with … READ MORE ...
