UK Job Vacancies Hit Record Levels As Amazon Offers £50 PW Bonus Just Fo...

UK Job Vacancies Hit Record Levels As Amazon Offers £50 Bonus For Turning Up For Work On Time!

UK Job vacancies hit a record high as the labour market bounced back, according to official figures.

The number of job vacancies in the UK hit 953,000 in the three months to July, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.7% in the three months to June, while the annual growth in average pay was 7.4%.

Firms like Amazon and Tesco are offering up to £1000 signing-on bonuses with the former giving staff a £50 per week bonus for 100% attendance.

Amazon recently advertised that new starters who start working before 18 September would receive a £1,000 ‘golden hello’ fee.

A shortage of HGV drivers is threatening to cause empty supermarket shelves by Christmas.

Nurses and care staff are again in short supply. The NHS has 168,000 job vacancies in the UK.

This contrasts sharply with last year’s deep recession when unemployment rising job vacancies under 400,000 and millions of people were on the government funding furlough scheme.

The economy is rebounding has yet to reach pre-pandemic levels. The government has printed billions to stave off economic collapse and unprecedented debt levels are near 100% of GDP. In June 2021 there were 1.6 million people unemployed and millions more claiming universal credit and disability benefits.

Shopping Trends Change And Supermarkets Merge As UK Economy Slows

As we hear that Sainsbury’s is planning to merge with Asda, we know that shopping trends are changing.

Two thirds of shoppers now visit the supermarket more than once a day. People are buying smaller amounts from discount stores rather than doing major shops at out of town superstores.

At one time it looked like the huge out-of-town superstores would take over the world. Now they have been hit by smaller supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi, as well as online providers like Amazon Prime with free deliveries of fresh food.

More mini supermarket are being opened by the large chains, which is squeezing the little guys with the corner shop that used to be the only shop open late at night – now many supermarkets open 24 hours a day. 

Online shopping is obviously accounting for much of what we do nowadays, which is why Sainsburies bought Argos.

Asda’s owner Walmart, still the largest retailer in the world, seems to have lost interest in the UK and has bigger fish to fry to protect its market from online retailers such as Amazon and Alibaba. Amazon’s owner Jeff Bezos and Alibaba’s Jack Ma are two of the richest men on earth, so shopping habits are definitely changing.

In other financial news, the UK economy’s growth rate has slowed in the last quarter to, however, your economy is run by you, not the government. Growth, GDP, inflation.

Focus on your own business and on your self development and career, not the world economy, which will always be fluctuating!

You can get in on the online revolution quicker and cheaper than ever before. You don't need a fancy website, you don't need your own product or a garage full of stock and you don't need a huge budget. What you DO need is some training and knowhow, focus and persistence!

One of my mentors Russell Branson has written a fantastic book about building a following and tribe called Expert Secrets. Russell has a special promo running for a limited time where he will give you the Expert Secrets book for free as long as you pay for the postage.

Millions of jobs will be lost as Uber driverless cars and the digital revolution changes everything





Uber driverless car 

Think your job is safe? Think again. Read this...

U.S. tech giant Uber are rolling out plans to allow users to hail self-driving cars, not in the distant science fiction-based future, but within weeks, the company has confirmed.

The firm provides millions of taxi rides around the world through self-employed drivers running their own cars.

The launch will take place in Pittsburgh, where it is teaming up with Volvo. Volvo has already been testing self-driving versions of the same vehicle in Sweden as part of its "Drive Me" project, said Alan Stevens at the UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). The firm has also trialled the vehicle in Australia and plans to do so in London next year.

This is a clever publicity stunt for Uber, as the vehicles will actually be supervised by a human driver, who can take control if necessary, however, it is clear where this is going. Uber eventually hopes to replace its one million drivers, Bloomberg said.

Uber are also in the news this week after launching a legal Challenger in London against new rules to impose English tests on drivers.

Uber's founder Travis Kalanick has been outlining a world dominating vision of a self-driving fleet for some years and has raised £10 billion dollars to make it happen.

A spokeswoman for the firm told the BBC: "Starting later this month, Uber will allow customers in downtown Pittsburgh to summon self-driving cars from their phones, crossing an important milestone that no automotive or technology company has yet achieved.

"In Pittsburgh, customers will request cars the normal way, via Uber's app, and will be paired with a driverless car at random. Trips will be free for the time being, rather than the standard local rate of $1.30 [£0.98] per mile."

Over three million people are employed in the transport industry in the U.S. alone. It will be long before most of our goods will be delivered by driverless cars and trucks. Amazon has already started using drones to delivering parcels in America.

Early results from tests show that robot-driven cars are safer than the average human driver – and they don’t drink or get into road rage!

On a more serious point, we are all going to have to adapt to more and more of our jobs being done by computers, robots and  machines. This is happening now across many industries and will remove humans from tens of millions of jobs in the next few years.

How to survive the digital revolution

The digital revolution is already upon us, so get ready! However, I am convinced that you can work from home and make money online provided you have the right internet training and support and real products of value to market. You need training. If you try tinker at it on your own you will reduce your chances of making enough money to quit your job and living the life you really want. Nearly all businesses use the internet these days, so it's not some obscure idea. The latest internet boom is only just starting, according to the experts, and we can all ride the next wave.

Fortunately, the internet has opened up a new world of learning, working, socialising and doing business. Millions of people already work from home earning a living by using platforms such as Amazon, Ebay, Upwork and of course Uber. We no longer need to go back to school or university to learn new skills. We can work from home, start a business or find a new life partner all from the comfort of our home.

At the click of a mouse, you can now find everything from a short instructional video to a full degree course online. If you would like more information on a free course on how to survive and thrive in the digital economy and discover the truth about how to make money onlineclick here.

Bank of England cuts UK base interest rates to .25% and pumps more money into the economy

The Bank of England voted to cut base interest rates from 0.5 to 0.25% today, and pump more money into the economy by quantitative easing (QE) - printing money to you and me!

The move is designed to stimulate the economy, including a £100bn scheme to force banks to pass on the low interest rate to households and businesses, and will reduce mortgage payments for millions of borrowers, which should encourage us to go out and spend more money.




Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said there was scope to cut the interest rate further.if the UK went into recession, and added that a majority of the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) backed a further cut if subsequent data showed the economy was slowing.

What does all this mean to the average person?

For most people, it will not make much difference to their daily lives. Over half the population do not have a mortgage, but savers, especially the retired, will suffer a further fall in the amount of interest they receive.

The question to ask yourself is: how will this affect my economy?

Despite the fact that the Bank of England has been printing money, the high street banks are not lending enough to small businesses, and mortgage brokers tell me that the lenders are restricting loans and pulling in their reins.

In the digital economy, things are still booming worldwide, A growing trend is for a more fulfilled and less materialistic life. People in developed countries are starting to move away from the traditional way of working in a job, with more and more of us opting to work from home or spend more time with the family, even if this means giving up a corporate job with a large salary.

In the last few years technology has made this dream a reality for millions of people who want to leave the rat race.

Anyone, for instance, stay-at-home mums and dads or home-based entrepreneurs, can now work from home using platforms set up by companies like Upwork.comfiverr.com, Ebay or Amazon.com. We can even trade stocks and currencies using real-time software linked to trading floors that would have been out of reach for individual traders just a few years ago.

Starting a business online in the multi-billion dollar digital economy has never been easier and does not require risking the huge capital needed for traditional bricks and mortar business, such as a franchise or retail outlet.

Is Facebook and Google's domination of media advertising really bad for digital entrepreneurs?

Just wanted to share an interesting article – ‘Beware of the big beasts as Facebook and Google squeeze rivals’  – by Gideon Spanier, head of media at Campaign magazine, for the London Evening Standard.

If you are a digital marketer, where do you advertise your product? Chances are Facebook, Google and Instagram take up the lion’s share of your budget.

The author is concerned that from a media point of view Facebook and Google completely dominate the online media and their internet advertising revenues increased by a combined $18 billion (£13.7 billion) last year. This figure is the same amount that the entire digital ad market grew globally, with the exception of China, where Facebook and Google are not active.

“Two companies generated growth equal to 100% or more of global digital advertising outside of China last year,” Brian Wieser, an analyst at Wall Street firm Pivotal Research, says. 

“Other media owners’ digital growth either came alongside Google’s as part of their ad network activities [through revenue-sharing] or displaced declines from other digital media owners.”
Both are set to grow at a faster rate than in 2015 and should add $23 billion in revenues between them this year, according to Wieser.

Facebook, still only a third of Google’s size, is catching up and has reinvented itself for what it calls a “mobile-feed” world of media consumption. Its messaging app, Messenger, hit one billion users this month, its photo-sharing app, Instagram, passed half a billion in June, and it keeps poaching senior staff from the ad industry.

Meanwhile. half of the world’s top 30 media owners saw their ad revenues fall last year, according to Zenith, the media-buying agency.

Robert Thomson, chief executive of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, the owner of The Sun and The Times, complained that Facebook had changed its algorithm to “reduce, if not remove” news publishers’ stories in favour of other posts. 

Kath Viner, editor of The Guardian, which is about to post a loss of £173 million, attacked Facebook.
“Social media companies have become overwhelmingly powerful in determining what we read — and enormously profitable from the monetisation of other people’s work,” she warned.

The author points out that while in the explosion of the digital economy, we enjoy unprecedented limitless media choice as consumers, the power lies with a decreasing number of technology giants.




Whilst the traditional print and other media players are naturally worried about their diminishing market share, smaller advertisers and digital entrepreneurs have never had it so good.

There has never been a time in history when a small business owner could so quickly launch a product worldwide and go toe-to-toe with the big boys.

In the past, businesses had to rely on a scatter gun approach using the likes of the Yellow Pages, local news advertising or leaflet drops to drum up customers. In most cases, we never knew if any of these methods actually worked, as it was almost impossible to measure.

National media coverage was and still is hugely expensive and there is still no guarantee of measurable success. Looking at a newspaper, distributed freely in London, I can see glossy ad’s costing tens of thousands of pounds for big brands – Samsung, Hilton, Virgin and VW - however, these ad’s are increasing awareness rather than directly pulling in business.  

Smaller entrepreneurs cannot afford the luxury of placing a series of £25,000 ad’s in the hope of building a brand!

That’s where Google and Facebook comes to our rescue, giving us low-cost targeted advertising with accurate measurable results. Nimble, agile digital entrepreneurs can market any product online, and even compete with larger rivals, using internet platforms like Amazon, Google and Facebook.

Millions of people are now working from home or running home-based businesses, some part-time but others escaping the 9-5 rat race to join the digital economy.

How to make money online and retire rich


We have all had the emails promising that you can 'retire young and rich' by buying the latest 'secret' or make 'tons of money' with no work.

You know what I mean, a 'once only' offer that will expire in a few hours, and the price is reduced if you buy today for a variety of amounts all ending with the figure .97! Apparently, we are more likely to but something if the price ends with '.97' - $29.97 or $47.97. And who are they fooling when they hire a big house (with no personal effects) and a Ferrari for the day and pretend they own them?



If you bought the product blindly, you were probably disappointed when you clicked the 'buy now' button only to find it was some useless course or complicated software that failed to bring in an 'avalanche of income' - either because it never worked or you did not understood how to use it?

Over the years I have researched and tried a number of different online affiliate marketing programs (selling other people's products for a commission) and courses with varying degrees of success. I had made money from the internet, but never quite found the company or product that could help me earn money while I slept or live the 'digital laptop lifestyle' lying on a beach - having said that, I can't read the screen in bright sunshine!



Yes, I'd made some money, but many of the methods I used 5 years ago were no longer bringing in the same results. Things move fast, technology changes, so I needed to upgrade my skills and knowledge. To be truthful, at this point I was beginning to wonder if it was really possible to earn a living and 'retire' though online marketing or low commission affiliate schemes like Amazon.

Then one evening I saw an ad on Facebook posted by a group of young Australian kids who were 'living the dream' on a beach in the Philippines. Having spent a lot of time in the Philippines over the years (recruiting Filipino nurses), the content caught my eye.

What interested me most was the fact that they were offering something of real value without asking me for any money upfront or credit card details. Not just some cheap ebook, but a free online 7 Day Video Course showing you how to earn money on the internet with no strings attached. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I thought why it a try?

After giving my email address to access the course I immediately started watching the professionally made videos and soaking up the easy-to-read content packed with money making ideas. Although sceptical at first (based on past experience) I had, to admit that I was amazed by the amount of valuable information freely given. I could see exactly where I had been going wrong and what to do about it in order to get out of the rat race and retire through internet marketing.

So can you really make a living or retire through online or internet marketing working from a home-based business?

Having doubted this, I am now convinced that you can work from home and make money online provided you have the right internet training and support and real products of value to market. If you try tinker at it on your own you will reduce your chances of making enough money to quit your job and living the life you really want. Nearly all businesses use the internet these days, so it's not some obscure idea. The internet boom is only just starting, according to the experts, and we can all ride the next wave.
