Kesendirian tak selamanya Mematikan

Sist and Bro, banyak orang yang tidak menyukai kesendirian,
karena waktu yang dilewati terasa lebih panjang dan
melelahkan.

'Sendiri oh sendiri'... Ternyata hal remeh ini bisa
menjadi masalah besar bagi sebagian orang!


Sist and Bro…., banyak orang yang tidak menyukai kesendirian,
karena waktu yang dilewati terasa lebih panjang dan
melelahkan.

'Sendiri oh sendiri'... Ternyata hal remeh ini bisa
menjadi masalah besar bagi sebagian orang!

Apakah Sist and Bro termasuk yang demikian? :-)

Memang, kesendirian seringkali diidentikkan dengan hal
yang menakutkan, mengesalkan, bahkan menjadi simbol
kesedihan. Namun, jika kita mau membuka pikiran,
sebenarnya kesendirian itu tidak selalu mematikan!

Kesendirian bisa memiliki dua makna...

Pertama, kesendirian menyangkut fisik yang sebenarnya,
tanpa ada orang di sekitarnya. Kedua, hanya berbentuk
perasaan saja.

Bisa jadi seseorang berada di tengah keramaian, namun
merasakan kesunyian. Mungkin pernah mengalami
hal serupa, terutama ketika menemui masalah dengan Sist and Bro
rekan kerja, sahabat, keluarga, atau pacar? :-) dan lain
sebagainya..!

Satu hal yang perlu inga Sist and Bro t, kesendirian dengan arti
apapun sebenarnya bukan masalah jika kita mampu
mengelolanya dengan baik, atas perasaan, sikap dan
segala situasinya.

Bagaimana kita bisa mengelola kesendirian supaya lebih
bermakna? Lakukan hal berikut :

1. Cari kesibukan dengan melakukan aktivitas positif
yang sangat Sist and Bro sukai, misalnya dengan membaca,
menulis, olahraga, menyanyi? :-) Apapun kesukaan
Sist and Bro . Dengan cara ini, kesendirian akan terasa lebih
menyenangkan!

2. Kedua, ingat-ingat kembali hal-hal yang menjadi
impian Sist and Bro dan belum sempat dilakukan. bisa
membuka agenda-agenda pribadi, foto-foto jaman
dulu, buku-buku, dan lain sebagainya.

Percaya, cara ini akan menyadarkan aka Sist and Bro
sempitnya waktu untuk mewujudkan segalanya.
Kalau sudah begini, bukankah kesendirian itu jadi
menyenangkan? ;-)

3. Ketiga, buat daftar sebanyak-banyaknya tentang
keinginan yang ingin Sist and Bro wujudkan selagi masih
hidup. Mungkin dengan cara menuliskan kembali
'keinginan gila' saat Sist and Bro masih kecil? Atau mimpi-
mimpi lain yang belum terlaksanakan?

Saat itu Sist and Bro akan sadar, ternyata banyak sekali
hal yg memerlukan kesendirian utk mewujudkannya!

4. Dan yang terakhir.... Sebenarnya ini merupakan hal
*utama* dan yang pertama yang harus Sist and Bro lakukan...
Mendekatlah kepada Yang Maha Mencinta diri Sist and Bro
Kesendirian ini akan semakin menyadarkan hakekat
keberadaan Sist and Bro di dunia.

Semakin keyakinan ini kuat, maka akan semakin
kokoh kemampuan Sist and Bro mengarungi kehidupan,
dengan segala situasinya.

Intinya, jangan biarkan Sist and Bro terjebak dalam kesendirian
dengan suasana 'hati yang negatif', membiarkannya
berlarut-larut, hingga membuat Sist and Bro putus asa.

Kalau Rochimin mau membuka mata, kita sebenarnya tidak
pernah benar-benar sendiri. Ada orang lain di sekitar
kita.

Yang jelas, pasti selalu ada orang yang bisa Sist and Bro
jadikan teman, dan ajak bicara!

Jika Sist and Bro mau terbuka, dalam kesendirian Sist and Bro bisa
merenungkan banyak hal. Dalam kesendirian Sist and Bro bisa
menemukan kedewasaan, kebijaksanaan, ide brilian,
dan memaksimalkan potensi yang Sist and Bro miliki.

Dalam kesendirian pula Sist and Bro bisa mengungkap
kejujuran, yang bisa jadi terkalahkan oleh sombong dan
ego yang seringkali Sist and Bro temukan di keramaian!

Tidak bisa dipungkiri, kesendirian bisa datang kapan
saja kepada setiap orang, termasuk kepada Sist and Bro.

Nah, jika suatu saat atau bahkan saat ini Sist and Bro sedang
dilanda 'kesepian' alias merasa 'sunyi sepi sendiri',
Sist and Bro harus ingat, bahwa kesendirian tidak selamanya
mematikan!

Kelola-lah perasaan Sist and Bro dengan baik, dan buatlah
kesendirian menjadi lebih bermakna. :-)

Stop Selling Directly to Customers – Build a List

Today, I want to share with you one of the biggest mistakes
affiliates make. I want to share this with you so you wont make the
same mistake:

The one major mistake many affiliates make is not setting up a
list. Affiliates will often send traffic that they generated to
affiliate links, rather than a list. When they do this, they are
unknowingly making a bet that visitor will buy on first contact.
Unfortunately, this is generally not the case. Visitors often need
to be warmed up to a product - through the course of multiple
visits and additional information - before they are willing to
purchase from a person or a business. This is where building a list
comes into play.

By building a list, affiliates can fix this problem. Additionally,
they can retain traffic, warm it up, and then direct it to
different purchases in the future. This means that it isn't a
one-shot deal: instead, they can attempt to sell the same person
multiple products over the course of time.

Now, in order to do this successfully, the affiliate in question
must purchase the necessary tools. I personally suggest using
Aweber for the actual autoresponder service.

Check it out here:
http://www.affhelper.com/recommends/Aweber


Aweber is relatively inexpensive ($20/mo.) and comes with a
formidable range of services, including spam checkers and macros.
Best of all, it is whitelisted by many email clients and boasts a
delivery rate of 99%. This service will not only manage your list,
but it will also help you build it. It includes free tools that
allow you to create web forms, pop-ups, and hover-ins - all of
which can be used to increase your opt-in rate.

Now, in addition to purchasing the autoresponder service, you will
need to setup your own site if you do not already own one. If you
already own a related site, you can simply add your opt in form to
a page on your existing site. If not, I suggest purchasing a cheap
domain and hosting service and using this to host your list forms.

I use Hostgator for my hosting and you can check them out here:

http://www.affhelper.com/recommends/Hostgator

Once you have your site and your autoresponder setup, there are
only two steps left: the first is building a course of some sort
that is related to the affiliate products you will sell; and the
second is creating an opt-in form that converts.

The first part is relatively easy. Start by determining your topic
and then outline it over the course of five to seven days. Remember
that everything should be written as if you are talking to a
person, rather than as if you were writing a formal article.

If you don't feel comfortable writing these articles yourself, you
can always hire a ghostwriter at elance.com for $5-15
per issue, depending on the size.

Once you have created your autoresponder series, you will want to
feed it into your autoresponder, setup advertisements in the text
for the affiliate product you are planning to sell, and then create
an opt-in form for your list.

The last part - setting up an opt-in form - is quite important.
Strangely, this is something marketers often neglect. They spend
the time to create a good course, weave in affiliate links so they
don't look too obvious, set the send off dates on all of the
emails. . . and then fail to create an opt-in page that will convert.

So here's a little information on how to make your opt-in page
convert...

First of all, keep in mind that the sole purpose of an opt-in page
is simply to collect opt-ins. Don't splatter that page with Google
Adsense ads. Don't include a navigational menu that visitors can
use to browse your site. All of these things are bad because they
detract from your primary purpose - your "most wanted response" --
which is to get visitors to opt-in to your list.

I personally suggest that you create what is called a "squeeze
page." The purpose of a squeeze page is to do exactly what I said
was important in the above paragraph: to "squeeze" new visitors for
their names and email addresses. Here's a few things an effective
squeeze page should include:

1. A professional graphic header. That's right: don't cheap out on
the graphics. Hire someone who doesn't make blurry headers using
horrible templates. You might have to slap down a horrifying $10,
but it will be worth it. I promise.

2. A strong headline. Before you tell someone to opt-in to your
list, you have to reach out and GRAB their attention with a large
font, red headline. Make your headline CLEAR and COMPELLING. Do not
use complex sentence constructions. Do not fill it with fluff. But
do make strong, quantifiable claims...

3. Compact, compelling text that is no longer than two paragraphs.
You aren't selling them a car or a house. All you're doing is
basically saying "Hey! Here's a really, really, really good reason
to opt in to my list. Did I mention my list was free? Opt in now,
please." So absolutely blow them away in those two paragraphs, but
do no more. Additionally, consider giving them a free report for
joining your list - which they can download as soon as they opt-in.
This is a good incentive and it will push them to join.

4. A call to action. This is where you tell readers to stop kicking
the tires and opt in. Explain how their future could depend on it.

5. Your signature. If any signature is included with the opt-in
list, it will immediately gain credibility. People want to see a
signature, so write yours down, scan it; and add it to your squeeze
page. You can either scan in your signature or use the following
tool: http://www.vletter.com/.

6. A no spam clause. Simply tell them - in a few words - that you
will not spam them and you will not sell their information. This is
very important. Telling them that will make them far more likely to
opt-in.

Once you have setup your opt-in form, the only remaining step is to
drive various traffic sources to your opt-in list, collect their
email addresses - and then wait for the commissions to roll in.

Thank you for reading this series. Please look out for the next
lesson.

To Your Success,
Pawel Reszka

4 Pertanyaan Yang Harus Ketahui Sebelum Membuat Hobi Menjadi Bisni

Hari ini kami mau berbagi informasi mengenai hal-hal apa
saja yang perlu Anda ketahui sebelum terjun ke dunia
bisnis yang berasal dari hobi. Mudah-mudahan informasi ini
bermanfaat untuk rahim :-)

Memang sih, KELEBIHAN dari membuka bisnis yang berasal
dari hobi, kita tahu betul bahwa kita akan menikmatinya. Kita
juga akan merasa lebih 'fun' dalam mengerjakannya. Jauuhhh..
dari rasa bosen! :-)

Tapi apa benar begitu? Sebelum memutuskan untuk membuat
hobi rahim menjadi bisnis, coba ajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan
ini ke diri sendiri terlebih dulu.

1. Apakah Anda bersedia melakukan sesuatu yang
berulang-ulang terus?

Diharuskan mengerjakan sesuatu secara berulang-ulang dengan
baik tentu sangat berbeda dengan mengerjakan aktivitas rekreasi
(hobi) tanpa tekanan dan tanpa target bisnis.

Tentu saja jika ingin mengubah hobi menjadi bisnis, Anda
harus siap dengan konsekuensi ini.

2. Apakah hobi Anda cukup berharga untuk dijadikan bisnis?

Jangan hanya memikirkan kesenangan rahim semata. Lakukan
"market research" sebelum membuat hobi Anda menjadi bisnis.
Jika ternyata prospeknya kurang menguntungkan, sebaiknya jangan
dipaksakan. :-)

3. Apakah hobi Anda bisa tetap memotivasi Anda dalam
menjalankan bisnis hingga 15-20 tahun mendatang?

Tantangan nyata dalam menjalani bisnis yang berasal dari hobi
adalah bagaimana membuat hobi tersebut tetap menantang, menarik
dan berarti sebagai bisnis dalam 15-20 tahun mendatang. Untuk
itu, buat daftar mengenai hal-halyang paling menarik dan menantang
bagi Anda. Lalu tetapkan satu atau dua ide paling potensial
yang bisa memotivasi rahim dalam menjalankan bisnis.

4. Apakah Anda tetap akan menikmatinya walau...

Jika kelak rahim diharuskan menghasilkan 10 ribu karya
atau melakukan hobi Anda ratusan kali setiap tahun,
apakah rahim akan tetap menikmati hobi rahim?

Intinya, memang tidak ada yang salah dengan membuat hobi
menjadi bisnis. Hanya saja matangkan konsep, lakukan market
research dan rancang business plan sebelum menjalankannya.

Hal penting lainnya adalah memiliki pengetahuan bagaimana
memasarkan bisnis rahim baik secara offline maupun online.
Karena tanpa marketing yang tepat, tidak ada orang yang akan
membeli produk rahim.

Carilah tempat terbaik untuk mempelajarinya. Misalnya, seperti
Asian Brain Internet Marketing Center yang merupakan tempat
terbaik bagi rahim yang ingin mendapatkan pengetahuan
mengenai internet marketing.

Bersama kami, Anda akan belajar bagaimana menjadikan HOBI
menjadi sebuah bisnis!

Belajar di Asian Brain IMC hanya Rp 245.000,- per bulan, tapi
ilmu yang akan rahim dapatkan bakalan 'segudang' :-)

Sebagian orang berfikir Rp.245.000/bulan itu kemahalan, tapi
setelah mereka menjadi member, mereka berfikir LAIN. :-)

Karena mereka akhirnya melihat dengan mata kepala sendiri
kalau ilmu yang Ahira berikan di member area itu JAUH lebih
berharga dari sekedar Rp.245.000,-

Kami ajak Anda untuk memBUKTIkannya! :-)

Salam,

Don't Sign Up With Clickbank Affiliate Programs Without Reading This

If you are a stay at home Mom or Dad, or you are tired of your 9 - 5 job, you sometimes wish you had a way of making money working on your computer at home. Well, if you go online to look for work at home opportunities what you will likely get are hordes of pyramid schemes that aim only to take money from you. However, there is also one genuine aspect of online business you can do. It is called Affiliate program, and it is free to join.

Simply put, there are several thousands of Affiliate programs online, some of which are also fraudulent and may likely not pay you commission. There are also very genuine and respected Affiliate networks, but I prefer and use the one called Clickbank, because, to me, it is the most conducive and trustworthy. ClickBank has a market place on their site where lots of products are lined up for Affiliates to pick and promote for commissions ranging from 25% - 75%. This product promotion is known as Affiliate marketing and the products are usually digital products consumers download into their PCs.

Affiliate marketing is the work of getting people who are already interested in a product to locate it through several means including placing a special link from Clickbank called hoplinks on your site or blog, doing a PPC campaign, writing articles and pointing a link back to your site or blog from the directories where you post your article. If other webmasters fancy and use your articles, your author bio must be left intact to link back to your site or blog, too. The most popular means of advertising affiliate products is Google AdWords ads, though you can advertise your affiliate products' links just about anywhere you can online, but especially where you know that people who are interested in the products will see the links.

The foregoing is, in a nut shell, to tell you how affiliate programs work. But when you get down to do affiliate marketing, there are lots of secrets to finding a product that people are already looking for, which in Internet marketing is called "niche finding ". A lot of people are already affiliating with all the different products on the Clickbank market place so it is quite competitive. Even the product owners are also selling their products online.

So, as in every other business undertaking, you must have some informed knowledge of how to go about finding hot affiliate programs to promote, know how to promote them, know where to find the buyers and how to advertise the benefits of your products to them to convert them to buyers.

This is the Waterloo of most affiliate marketers. They will read all I have written above and think that it is easy as that, but the truth is that you have to learn the ropes, get to know the secrets the successful affiliate marketers are using to generate visitors or traffic to their sites or blogs, how to accurately do your PPC to bring visitors to your products and so on and so forth.

Most wannabe affiliate marketers do not take all the above into consideration before diving into the business only to become frustrated. If you want to make money as an affiliate, make sure that you get a mentor, someone who is already making money as an affiliate marketer ===> You Make Money Online not only teach you how to make money online, but also provide with the necessary tools to make money fast with affiliate programs.

Dear Frustrated Marketer,

I am writing this letter because I believe I have something that is truly going to help you start making real money online. No more BS and no more empty promises. This system works and I am going to prove it to you.

I have discovered this method accidently and wasn't going to share it with anyone at first. I thought that it worked for me only because I already have some experience and know a few things about affiliate marketing. When I first stumbled across this method I was like.....hmm this can't be.....way too easy....that's impossible!

I was getting tons of traffic and making sales without even spending a single dime!

Oh and this has nothing to do with:

- PPC

- Article marketing

- Blogging

- PPV

- Youtube (but I am going to show you one little trick that combined with my method will get you tons of views)

- Classified Ads

- Facebook

- Twitter

- Any type of Social marketing

- SEO

- Email marketing

- JVs or Affiliates

- Forum marketing

- Product creation etc.

...None of that!!

I thought it was just one-time thing and I just got lucky, but I decided to investigate this method a little bit further and see if this could become a long term income generator.

So I went to work and started testing this method for varies niche markets to see if I can repeat what I have just experienced with my first run with it.

This method is truly unique. In fact it's so powerful I did all the testing myself behind closed doors in my office. No joke!

I tested this method in 3 different markets and the results were stunning. Not only I was able to repeat the first run, but also got more traffic and even more sales! This method is easily scalable!!

After my initial testing I knew I had just discovered the easiest and fastest way to making money online from home.

With that said, I decided to show this method to a few friends of mine that have never made any money online or had any previous experience in affiliate marketing. I did this on purpose because I wanted to see if they can get the same results as I did. I knew that if they succeeded then anybody can do this from home.

So I showed them what I was doing and told them exactly what to do step by step. I gave them about a week to try this out.

Now get this....after that week they were generating traffic and sales. Not as many as I did with my initial test but it was happening for them too. All they had to do now is just keep doing it until they get results that would replace their day job. Yes, it's that simple

Case in point: This method works for anyone and you don't need any extra technical skills or be a super affiliate with an existing mailing list. You can make money online with this method starting today.

Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to make any money online. If you were doing PPC about 4 years ago then you know how everything changed since then. Even SEO was as easy as making dinner, but not anymore.

Aren't you tired of all that frustration and hitting your head against the wall?

Well, I am about change all that for you in just a few minutes from now.

So What Is This System All About?

It's a scret method for driving traffic to your offers, or affiliate programs. It involves creating simple, short documents that will flood your accounts with hard cold cash virtually hands-free. I will reveal everything inside the members area. I am going to show you exactly step by step ...nothing left out

ClickBank Affiliate Guide

First of all, you need to set up an account with CB. To sign up with clickbank just go to their homepage at clickbank.com and click on the sign up link. Fill out the registration form and confirm your email address to activate your account.

Next, you will need to find products to promote and develop your business strategy. Mainly affiliates promote clickbank products using Google Adwords. You can also build a niche website and get it to rank on top of the search engines to reveive free traffic. SEO requires some skills and more time is needed to start generating a decent income. Using Google Adwords you can tap into instant targeted traffic and see profits the same day.

If you want to learn more about SEO then read Killer Niche Marketing ebook.

So how do you find profitable clickbank products? Well, CB lists all their products within the marketplace by popularity. That means the more sales of the product the higher it will rank within the Marketplace.

CB also gives you data like on the screenshot below:

[$/sale] - Tells you how much you could earn per transaction resulted from your promotions ( this amount is an avarage after refunds)

[%/sale] - Tells you what is the percentage that the vendor pays out to the affiliate

[%refd] - Shows the percentage of sales made by affiliates ( you can tell if the product is being promoted by affiliates or if the vendor makes most of the sales)

[grav] - Shows the gravity of the product. The clickbank gravity tracks all the sales made. Clickbank doesn't reveal exactly how they calculate that number.

Here are different strategies that clickbank affiliates use with Adwords:

1. Bidding On The Specific Product Name - With this method you are trying to monetize on the traffic generated by other affiliates. When a specific product makes a lot of sales it becomes popular on the Internet and a lot of people will search for its name on all major search engines. This allows you to tap into highly targeted visitors that are ready to buy. Cost per click could be high if the product gets a lot of searches.

2. Using Massive Relevant Keyword Lists - By utilizing this method you could generate a lot of cheap traffic. The key to making it work is to generate a lot of keyword phrases and track which ones make the most sales. I highly recommend Keyword Elite software to create your lists of keywords. You could also try the free keyword suggestion tool from Google.

3. Creating Site-Targeted Campaigns on Adwords - With this method you can actually tell Google on what webpages you want your ads to appear. This is not an easy way to drive traffic. If your CTR (clickthrough ratio) is not high enough you could pay for the impressions and not get any clicks.

How to maximize your profits

Making money with clickbank used to be a lot easier just a few years ago. You could have just gone to Adwords and set up a direct linking campaign and watch the sales coming through, but not anymore. Clickbank has become so popular that it developed a huge competition among affiliates.

Google actually is not allowing the same affiliate page more than once on the search results anymore. So if there was another clickbank affiliate promoting the same product that you are then you would have to start a bidding war.

Don't worry, smart affiliates already figured out a way to go around this. You see, you need to develop landing pages for the product you want to promote. You could provide a detailed review of the product and bonus if the visitor makes a purchase through your clickbank hoplink.

Super affiliates go even one step further and capture their visitor's name and email address to follow up with them in the future if the sale wasn't made the first time the visitor went to the product's salespage.

Since Adwords became so competitive you could also place Adsense ads on your landing page to monetize on those who will never buy the product, but might click on your Adsense ad. This way you could lower your advertising cost.

Another thing you should consider is that the more popular clickbank product is the higher chance that your cookie will get overwritten by another affiliate.

What you should watch for when choosing a clickbank product

I have to say that there are a lot of bad products in the CB marketplace as well. Some of them don't even convert. You don't want to choose a product with a salespage that can't convert your traffic into sales, otherwise you could waste a lot of money on advertising.

Make sure that the salespage doesn't have an affiliate signup link. Believe it or not, but people can buy through their own affiliate links and steal your commissions. If the vendor has a link to the affiliate sign up page your potential customer could remove your clickbank ID and insert his/her own.

This of course doesn't apply to all the niches. Mostly products that sell in the "Business To Business", "Marketing & Ads", and "Money & Employment" categories. If you pay for traffic then you should definitely watch for the affiliate sign up link on vendor's salespage.

How to protect your clickbank commissions

There are many affiliate link cloakers out there, but you could actually do it for free without spending any money. If you are building a landing page on your own hosting account you could simply create a php file and past the following code inside it.

1. Copy the following code:


?>


2. Create an empty php file on your server

3. Paste the code

If you actually point to the file on your server through the browser you will notice it redirected it to the clickbank vendor and dropped your cookie.

Clickbank Vendor Guide

CB attracts a lot of merchants due to its huge affiliate network. If the product is good and converts then you could easily dominate the marketplace in your niche, which would also attract a lot of affiliates. Clickbank charges $49.95 one time fee to activate your account for selling. CB also charges fees per each transaction which is $1 + 7.5%. This actually might seem very high compared to other payment processors, but the fact that clickbank has a lot of affiliates makes it not an issue.

How to start selling through clickbank

It's easy! All you have to do is sign up for an account and submit a product for approval. Once CB approves your product you will need to pay the activation fee and you are ready to start selling.

Before submitting the product for approval, you must have your salespage ready and the thank you page. Clickbank might also review your product itself to check if it complies with their TOS. Also make a test purchase to check if everything works correctly.

Next you should categorize your product. Simply choose what categories you want your product to be listed in.

How to attract affiliates

First of all, you should make your listing headline catch attention of the affiliates browsing through the marketplace. You could also remove the affiliate sign up link from your salespage if your product is related to affiliate marketing. That's because a lot of your customers are aware of how clickbank works and might buy through their own hoplinks.

I also suggest that you cloak the order link, because it displays your vendor ID. It's too easy for people to generate their own clickbank link if they know your vendor ID.

Test your salespage for conversions. The higher your conversions the more affiliates your product will attract, which of course will make you a lot more sales.

Advertise your affiliate program in all major affiliate directories. Go to Google and search for websites where you could list your affiliate program.

Participate in affiliate marketing forums and network with other affiliates. You would be surprised how well this works.

How to increase your sales by motivating your affiliates

You could set up a contest once per month, and offer prizes for top performing affiliates. I suggest to increase the commission payouts to 75%. Capture your affiliate's name and email address to communicate with them. Send out announcements to get them motivated.
