bisnis Internet, sebuah pilihan logis

 
Kalo di suruh milih jadi buruh atau jadi internet marketing tentu milih jadi internet marketing. Masalahe semua omongan marketing selalu bombastis..(padahal aku juga merketing hihihi) ... ada yang bilang pendapatan seketika jutaan ,
bisnis internet uopooo iku..dsb. Semua pekerjaan memerlukan kerja keras dan yang terpenting lagi adalah kerja cerdas. Begitupun dengan bisnis internet, ga bisa mak bedunduk tiba-tiba pendapatan jutaan, boong banget itu. Yang penting kudu dijalani dan menginvestasikan uang dan WAKTU mu dengan hati-hati. (Kalo bahasa marketing gak ada istilah hati-hati), adanya maju terus tabrak semuanya..dwoh... Satu keuntungan yang pasti dari internet marketing adalah sebuah INVESTASI yang tidak akan pernah mengecil. Resiko internet marketing sangatlah kecil, begitupun kalo pendapatan di awal2 juga pasti kecil2 dulu..pelan2 lalu membesar dan makin besar. Bisnis internet bisa lewat affiliate semacam adsense, bidvertiser, ppc indonesia untuk iklan lokal dan banyak lagi. Klo yang makelaran seperti yang aku ikuti yaitu amazon.com trus bisa juga kalo mau makelaran di ebay tapi aku juga baru nyari2 caranya gimana, tapi yang penting ya bisnis makelaran produk lokal, jual rumah tanah, mobil, meja kursi, sapi, kambing, kucing, pitik, semut pokoke semua komoditas yang bisa di perjual-belikan dan bisa dimakelari. Mangkanya klo ada yang butuh bantuan MENJUALKAN SESUATU silahkan kontak alamat emailku. Kasih info yang jelas, pokoke tak jual semua atau minimal kupajang di puluhan website dan blog, soal komisi bisa diatur (kayak filemnya WARKOP), Yang penting gimana caranya biar you punya produk bisa cepet laku . Pengalaman sih pemasaran lewat people to people lebih efektif dari iklan, jadi klo lewat blog kan menyentuh ruang personal seseorang jadi lebih gampang payune. Nah segitu aja bisnis internatannya klo ada pertanyaan tanya ama google, di situ banyak info . Trus jangan lupa daftar ke blogonsite.com biar bisa di jawil2 kalo ada bisnisan yang berbau komisi dari makelaran dan segala pemasarannya halah opo iku hehehee..ngantuk .

Majukan Bangsa INDONESIA MERDEKAAA..ngantuke rek..

Email Marketing: Using Email to Reach Your Target Audience and Build Customer Relationships

 
In these days of fancy, sometimes overdesigned Web sites and banner ads, we often forget e-mail's huge potential for marketing. This book aims to remind us and explains how this cheap, easy-to-use tool can be one of your online business's best assets. The authors are keen to point out they're advocating not spam but rather targeted, well-constructed marketing messages. To make effective use of e-mail as a marketing tool, you need a strategy rather than a splatter gun, and the book talks you through the process of crafting one.
You also need to know how to write a good e-mail, and one of the book's key sections takes you through the do's and don'ts, from the wording of the header to signing off. Examples from the real world are included so you can see how the big guns do it. Standard e-mails are not your only option, and the book devotes space to alternatives such as e-newsletters and e-promotions. The first can help people develop an affinity with your Web site, and the second offers something free in return for a site visit--a gift certificate, for example.

The book explores other aspects, too, such as getting mailing lists together and doing market research.

92:4 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

92:5 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (God),

92:6 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

92:8 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

92:9 And gives the lie to the best,-

92:10 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

92:11 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

92:12 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

92:13 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

92:14 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

92:15 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

92:16 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

92:17 But those most devoted to God shall be removed far from it,-

92:18 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

92:19 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

92:20 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

92:21 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

90:5 Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?

90:6 He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!

90:7 Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

90:8 Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

90:9 And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-

90:10 And shown him the two highways?

90:11 But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.

90:12 And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-

90:13 (It is:) freeing the bondman;

90:14 Or the giving of food in a day of privation

90:15 To the orphan with claims of relationship,

90:16 Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.

90:17 Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.

90:18 Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.

90:19 But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand.

89:12 And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

89:13 Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:

89:14 For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.

89:15 Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

89:16 But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"

89:17 Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!

89:18 Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!-

89:19 And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

89:20 And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

89:21 Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

89:22 And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,

89:23 And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?

89:24 He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"

89:25 For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,

89:26 And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.

89:27 (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

89:28 "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!

89:29 "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!

89:30 "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!

THE OVERWHELMING THE PALL Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

88:1 Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

88:2 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

88:3 Labouring (hard), weary,-

88:4 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

88:5 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

88:6 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

88:7 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

88:8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

88:9 Pleased with their striving,-

88:10 In a Garden on high,

88:11 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

88:12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:

88:13 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

88:14 Goblets placed (ready),

88:15 And cushions set in rows,

88:16 And rich carpets (all) spread out.

88:17 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

88:18 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

88:19 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

88:20 And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

88:21 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

88:22 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

88:23 But if any turn away and reject God,-

88:24 God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

88:25 For to Us will be their return;

88:26 Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

THE MOST HIGH GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

87:1 Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

87:2 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

87:3 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

87:4 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

87:5 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

87:6 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

87:7 Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

87:8 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

87:9 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

87:10 The admonition will be received by those who fear (God):

87:11 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

87:12 Who will enter the Great Fire,

87:13 In which they will then neither die nor live.

87:14 But those will prosper who purify themselves,

87:15 And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

87:16 Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

87:17 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87:18 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

87:19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.

THE MORNING STAR THE NIGHTCOMER Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

86:1 By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

86:2 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

86:3 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

86:4 There is no soul but has a protector over it.

86:5 Now let man but think from what he is created!

86:6 He is created from a drop emitted-

86:7 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

86:8 Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!

86:9 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

86:10 (Man) will have no power, and no helper.

86:11 By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

86:12 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

86:13 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

86:14 It is not a thing for amusement.

86:15 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

86:16 And I am planning a scheme.

86:17 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).

THE MANSIONS OF THE STARS CONSTELLATIONS Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

85:1 By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;

85:2 By the promised Day (of Judgment);

85:3 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-

85:4 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),

85:5 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

85:6 Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

85:7 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.

85:8 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-

85:9 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God is Witness to all things.

85:10 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.

85:11 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),

85:12 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.

85:13 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).

85:14 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,

85:15 Lord of the Throne of Glory,

85:16 Doer (without let) of all that He intends.

85:17 Has the story reached thee, of the forces-

85:18 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?

85:19 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!

85:20 But God doth encompass them from behind!

85:21 Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

85:22 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!

THE SUNDERING SPLITTING OPEN Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

84:1 When the sky is rent asunder,

84:2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-

84:3 And when the earth is flattened out,

84:4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

84:5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).

84:6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.

84:7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

84:8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

84:9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

84:10 But he who is given his Record behind his back,-

84:11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

84:12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

84:13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

84:14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

84:15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

84:16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

84:17 The Night and its Homing;

84:18 And the Moon in her fullness:

84:19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

84:20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-

84:21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

84:22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

84:23 But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

84:24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

84:25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
