One of our clients, employment tax specialist Brenda Hague, sent me an email today offering some advice to those of you that are employing people and how you could save money on tax and national insurance:

It’s been announced (to be confirmed in the Pre-Budget speech in November) that anyone entering into a childcare voucher scheme after April 2011 will not receive tax or national insurance relief as they do now, so there is a window of opportunity for employers who are thinking of entering into these schemes (usually via a salary sacrifice scheme, which quite simply can save both employer and employee money) to do so prior to this date.

Employers with existing schemes will not lose this tax and national insurance relief until April 2015

For further advice about setting up a childcare salary sacrifice scheme call Brenda on 0800 917 9176

Do You want to set your online sales alight?

For the last time this year, I am holding a special two day Internet Marketing Clinic on 5th and 6th November in Manchester.

There are only six spots available, and it’s first-come, first served.

I am giving a special £1000 discount to members of the Inner Circle, and £500 off to attendees of Ken McCarthy’s System UK Intensive (if you’re not a member of the Inner Circle).

To apply, please use THIS FORM BELOW only. To get full details on what one of my clinics can do for your business and to see a ton of video testimonials, go to my Internet Marketing Course page (but don’t sign up there, sign up below):

I’ll be closing the doors to this as soon as it’s full. If you miss out, you’ll have to go on the waiting list (although we don’t know when we’ll have time to do another at the moment). I can promise you that we will be having some special guests at this clinic, and the promise of a big bonfire complete with sticky toffee apples!

I’m rethinking my twitter strategy. I put up some autofollows thanking people for the follow and pointing them to my offers like the free DVD, but Maine Copywriter Julie Eason told me on Saturday night how much my auto tweet annoyed her when she followed me. So, I’m going to change all that today..

Also, I keep getting these tweets which are really starting to piss me off:

“Hey, I just added you to my Mafia family. You should accept my invitation! :) Click here: “

Why are you adding me to your mafia family? Who are you? Why haven’t you got a life? Stop bothering me all you dickhead pretend mafiosa’s and get on with some work will ya?

What’s your most annoying auto-twet?

I’m not a big believer that signing petitions will ever make a difference to much, but one of my lovely subscribers Suzie asked me to blog about this, so here I am.

There’s a petition on the Downing Street website that states:

“We would like the government to intervene to end the ongoing dispute betweeen Royal Mail and CWU. This is now affecting thousands of small businesses, as they cannot guarentee their items are delivered or payments received. The government should step in and act as arbitrator to end the striking farly for both sides, and ensure that the backlog of mail does not result in thousands of small businesses going bankrupt -which will happen if this strike continues through Christmas.”

I signed it. You can too here.
