Compared with February 2015, which registered a 7.9 per cent job-switching activity, the trend leading up to February 2019 reveals that the number of people who switch jobs continue to rise.

The only upside is that the overall levels of job switching across all professions are still low compared with the 2008 statistics.

Unemployment

Among the reported 677,000 unemployed people, 87.8 per cent said they found it difficult to find work. Commonly-cited reasons for difficulties have included insufficient work experience, transportation problems or issues with health or disability.

Following a four-year campaign to increase gender diversity amongst Australia’s largest companies, the ASX 200 now has a 30 per cent participation rate, according to an industry body.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(2402) "

The Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) set a voluntary target of 30 per cent amongst Australian boards, which has been achieved.

As of 30 November 2019, the ASX 20 had a 35.2 per cent female representation, the ASX 50 had a 33 per cent representation, the ASX 100 had a 31.8 per cent female board and the ASX 200 reached 30 per cent. 

Angus Armour, AICD’s CEO and managing director, said, “While the target was reached later than planned, this is a great achievement. We should celebrate the progress that has been made, which is evidence that meaningful change can be achieved through voluntary targets.

“We should recognise the commitment of community and business leaders to achieve this milestone and applaud Australia’s top 100 listed companies for leading the way and surpassing 30 per cent.”

In response to the AICD announcement, David Dixon, First Sentier Investors’ chief investment officer, equities, said: “This is fantastic news.” 

“We view board diversity as an important investment indicator and actively encourage boards to look at diversity and inclusion as critical to improving the quality of decision making.”

There are still seven companies in the ASX 200 with no women on their boards. They are (as at 30 November 2019):

• TPG Telecom Ltd
• HUB24 Ltd (Ruth Stringer will join the HUB24 board in February 2020)
• NRW Holdings Ltd
• Pro Medicus Ltd
• New Hope Corp Ltd
• Silver Lake Resources Ltd
• Speedcast International Ltd

If you want to write and publish a Kindle ebook or a paperback book on Amazon for profit, there are some things you need to think about.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(5397) "

For starters, divide the work you need to do into three parts:

• Planning: All the work you need to accomplish before writing or collating.
• Writing: The actual writing, editing and refining stage.
• Publishing: The things you need to do before, during and after the book launch.

Planning

Everything should start with a well laid-out plan to ensure that you’ve got your bases covered.

Decide what to write about
There are many topics you can write about, and it’s easy to branch out and get lost as you write, but if you really want to increase demand for your ebook, you need to choose the right niche.

Start your planning by researching what niches have the most demand and finding which particular topics readers actually spend on.

Once you have your list, choose a specific topic you’re interested to write about. Make sure you have a good working knowledge of your chosen topic to avoid critics and bad reviews – you’ll want to build authority.

If you have a blog and have written about different topics in your chosen niche, you may also consider discussing one of your high-traffic topics at length for the ebook.

Alternatively, you may look through the Best Sellers category in Amazon’s Kindle eBooks page.

Narrow down your topic
Once you’ve chosen a topic, figure out what exactly you’ll discuss in your book and how extensively the topics will be discussed.

If there are many people who already discussed your chosen topic, consider reading what’s already out there and look for an angle that hasn’t been given much focus.

Create a schedule
Regardless of whether you already have content from your blog or will be writing from scratch, you need to create a manageable schedule from preparation to publishing.

For instance, you may give yourself 90 days to finish everything – from inception to book launch. You may set aside a week or two to audit your content and come up with a final topic and outline. Start 

writing after you have an outline and give yourself about 1.5 months to write and refine your content.

Set aside a week or two for editing, design and layout. Then, for the remaining days or weeks, focus on pre-launch marketing.

Consider the costs
Unless you’re skilled at everything that ebook creation requires, you can’t produce a book for free – you will incur expenses.

• Editing
  Once you’re done, look for an editor who can help you further refine your content and clear all the grammatical errors.
  
  
• Cover design
  You can make your own design if you’re skilled, but you may also consider hiring a designer who can create the cover design for your book.
  
  
• Royalty rates
  Amazon allows you to choose the royalty rate you receive for each Kindle ebook and paperback book you sell that meets its list price requirements.
  
  
• Marketing
  You can use free tools and your own platforms to market your ebook, but you may also consider consider using paid services if you want a targeted reach.

Writing

Narrow down your topic
Drafting an outline for the ebook can help you narrow down the subtopics to be discussed in your book – the outline can also double as your table of contents once the book is finished.

Ensure that your content stays focused on one topic and avoid bringing up too many things that you may not be able to fully discuss in the same book – unless it’s the topic for your next ebook.

Perform a content audit
You may look through your blog post to determine if you have specific topics that your audience flock to. Knowing which content has high demand can give you an idea of what your existing audience wants to read about, and knowing this may help draw in more readers.

Likewise, doing an audit can help you figure out if there’s an angle you want to concentrate on, haven’t discussed or one you want to discuss more thoroughly.

Publishing

Publishing your ebook on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is the easy part because you only need to create an account by registering with your email address. After this, simply prepare your manuscript and cover, ensure they satisfy KDP’s content guidelines, and enter the details, content and pricing information.

Make sure that your table of contents links to the correct chapters for better user experience.

Marketing
Once you publish your ebook on KDP, it will be available to all users within 24 to 48 hours, so that’s already a form of free marketing without doing much.

However, it’s still best to consider marketing the book on your own channels, such as your blog or website and social media accounts.

You may also consider sending free advance copies to some of your loyal readers and ask them for a review. Make sure to have them indicate that they received an advance copy so their blurbs and reviews won’t be accused of being fake.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(3088) "

Based on our data, we were able to see exactly what questions our audience most wanted the answers to in 2019.

Have you ever wondered about any of the following?

5. How do I protect money in a divorce?

It seems slightly unfortunate that this one made the top five most read questions that became an article on nestegg in 2019, but it’s no less important.

And as the article says, “it might seem like a pessimistic and unromantic view of marriage, but divorce can happen to anyone regardless of age, race, sex, length and intensity of a couple’s relationship prior to marriage”.

4. How are ETFs taxed?

An old article but a good one, Stockspot’s CEO and founder Chris Brycki gave a comprehensive rundown on ETFs and how they are taxed back in 2016 when they first became more accessible to the average investor.

With a run down of the top five things for an investor to consider regarding ETF tax, it’s a mainstay and endearingly popular for nestegg readers looking to diversify their investments.

3. What’s the difference between a resident and non-resident for tax purposes?

The Australian Tax Office taxes individuals differently depending on their residency status – but the difference can be confusing.

To clear things up, we’ve outlined the different tests that are used by the ATO to determine residency as well as how they are applied.

2. What are franking credits?

Considering the divisive role franking credits played in the discourse of the 2019 federal election, it’s no surprise this was nestegg’s second-most researched question over the last 12 months.

Considering the fact that Scott Morrison went on to win the election and keep franking credits as a policy-based mainstay, it’ll no doubt still be a question asked by avid investors well into 2020.

    1. What is wealthy in Australia?

It can be hard work keeping up with the Joneses!

But in all serious – how do we measure wealth in Australia? Is it income? Assets? Property?

In this article from 2018, a number of experts weighed in – and their answers might surprise you.

You might even be left with more questions than you started with! 

Got a question that you can’t find the answer to? Let us know https://www.nestegg.com.au/contact-nestegg and we’ll write all about it in 2020!

Inflation erodes the value of a currency and increases the price of goods, making it harder to maintain your standard of living.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(2289) "

To maintain your lifestyle, your after-tax income needs to increase enough to offset the effects of inflation. This means if inflation is at 2.3 per cent, the increase you’ll need to maintain your current lifestyle should be a minimum of 2.3 per cent of your base pay.

To determine how much after-tax money Aussies need, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) regularly releases the Selected Living Cost Indexes (SLCI) report.

This report measures the impact of price changes on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses households use to purchase the same quality and quantity of goods and services.

According to the June 2019 SLCI report, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.6 per cent in the quarter ending June 2019.

Between June 2018 and June 2019 indexes, the ABS revealed a 1.6 per cent increase.

This means that Aussies should have earned about 0.6 per cent more in after-tax income in the past quarter to be able to afford the same purchases as they would have in the previous quarter.

Likewise, the 1.6 per cent increase indicates that net income in the past financial year should have increased by 1.6 per cent in order to maintain the same lifestyle.

The SLCI report also reveals that self-funded retirees were most impacted by the rise in CPI as transport, health and food costs forced expenses to increase by 2 per cent in the past year.

This is followed by age pensioners whose transport and health expenses saw a price increase of 0.6 per cent in the March to June 2019 quarter. This puts their June 2018 to June 2019 cost of living increase at 1.9 per cent.

Pensioners and beneficiaries, as well as other government transfer recipients, were equally impacted by the increase in transport, alcohol and tobacco prices.

Both groups required a 0.5 per cent increase during the June 2019 quarter and 1.9 increase for the year.

Employed households were most affected by the rising cost of transport and health expenses. The March to June 2019 quarter recorded a 0.5 per cent increase, while the year ending June 2019 revealed a 1.9 per cent increase.

The decrease in food and non-alcoholic beverage prices partially offset the price increase of other commodities.

The ATO has announced its plans to crack down on “lifestyle assets” as the government agency tries to receive a larger share of tax revenue.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(2501) "

In its announcement, the Australian Taxation Office is requesting an extra five years worth of policies from 30 insurance companies around expensive assets that might not match income statements.

The taxman is specifically targeting marine vessels, thoroughbred horses, fine art, high-value motor vehicles and aircraft.

ATO deputy commissioner Deborah Jenkins believes knowing who owns lifestyle assets such as private jets and yachts will help the government service get a complete picture around the financial situation of taxpayers compared with what is reported.

“If a taxpayer is reporting a taxable income of $70,000 to us but we know they own a $3 million yacht, then this is likely to raise some red flags,” Ms Jenkins said.

“Regardless of your level of wealth, we all need to pay the correct amount of tax, and this data will allow us to ensure those people who can afford these kinds of items are doing the right thing, along with everyone else,” Ms Jenkins continued.

Aside from helping identify taxpayers who may be understating their income, the data from insurers may be used by the ATO to identify taxpayers who have made capital gains on the disposal of certain assets but who have not declared this to the ATO.

“With high-value assets like fine art, there can be some significant capital gains made when these assets are sold, and capital gains tax may need to be paid on the sale or disposal of these items,” Ms Jenkins said. 

Insurers will be required to provide the ATO with detailed policy information where the value of assets is equal to or exceeds the following thresholds:

• Marine vessels: $100,000
• Motor vehicles: $65,000
• Thoroughbred horses: $65,000
• Fine art: $100,000 per item
• Aircraft: $150,000
