Rahasia Ebook dan Produk Penghasil Duit

Artikel bukan milik saya tetapi milik marketer terhormat indonesia, Nias Zalukhu. Alasan gw ambil karena penting banget isinya, menutur gw. Dan beliau juga mengizinkannya.

Ini dia Rahasia Ebook dan Produk Penghasil Duit

Sebelum memasuki artikel mengenai Bisnis Online Affiliate, saya ingin membahas sekali lagi tentang internet marketing. Bukannya apa-apa, karena bagaimana pun seorang pelaku Bisnis online harus memahami sebenarnya apa dan bagaimana Internet Marketing itu. Saya ga mau membahas lebih jauh mengenai internet marketing ini, karena memang sangat sensitif dan membutuhkan pemahaman yang bijak dan sebuah kedewasaan. Jika anda belum siap membaca sebuah kenyataan dan belum bersifat dewasa dalam menghadapi suatu kenyataan saya sarankan agar TIDAK MEMBUKA ARTIKEL INI lebih lanjut.

Namun jika anda siap membaca, saya harap agar membaca dengan teliti kata per kata dan kalimat per kalimat agar tidak salah pengertian.

Seperti yang pernah saya sebutkan pada artikel awal seri Fakta dan Mitos Bisnis Online, bahwa memang saat ini di Indonesia dunia internet marketing dan bisnis online telah mengalami sebuah cobaan yang tidak boleh dianggap sebelah mata. Ini terjadi karena ulah para Oknum Internet Marketer yang memasarkan produknya tidak memikirkan efek negatif dari apa yang mereka lakukan.

Melihat pasar negara kita dimana masyarakatnya cenderung ingin mendapatkan sesuatu dengan cara yang mudah dan cepat, para oknum internet marketer itu secara tidak sadar (atau sengaja??) justru telah merusak citra bisnis online itu sendiri, dengan memasarkan produknya di balik kemasan produk lain.

Dalam kehidupan nyata saya ingin mengambil 3 buah illustrasi yaitu sebagai berikut:

1. Seorang sales menjual Paket Ikan Busuk dengan promosi secara langsung.
2. Seorang sales menjual Paket ikan Busuk dengan promosi ikan segar.
3. Seorang sales menjual Ikan busuk di dalam Paket Ikan segar dengan promosi Ikan segar.

Pada kasus pertama tentunya gak akan ada yang mau membeli. Sedangkan di kasus kedua itu namanya penipuan. Sedangkan kasus ketiga, itulah yang saat ini dilakukan oleh para Oknum Internet Marketer di Indonesia. Walaupun Paket yang ditawarkan tidak segar-segar amat. :)

Saya mengambil contoh 3 buah paket Ebook yang ditawarkan oleh 3 situs yang terkenal dengan tawaran Mesin uangnya, Yakni: FormulaBisnxx.com, BikinDuxx.com dan UangPanxx.com, saya sensor biar ga menimbulkan kehebohan hahahaha.

Semua program di atas menawarkan program untuk mendapatkan uang yang banyak dalam waktu singkat dengan cara yang mudah. (Baca saja landing pagenya :) ). Namun pada kenyataannya, baik itu Sistem Mesin Uang Otomatis (SMUO) maupun Ebook yang mereka jual, tidak lebih dari kamuflase dari produk yang mereka tawarkan sebenarnya yakni: MLM (Multi Level Marketing).

Dengan membuat halaman landing page berisi testimoni para anggotanya yang sukses (saya justru menantang para yang memberi testimoni itu untuk mempublikasikan screenshot penerimaan mereka seperti yang mereka katakan :p), serta bukti screenshot penghasilan pemilik situs (saya harus katakan bahwa screenshot itu merupakan hasil penjualan ebook ataupun program tersebut, bukan hasil pendapatan mereka lewat bisnis online seperti yang mereka promosikan).

Ketika seseorang menjadi member, tentunya pasti akan kecewa dengan apa yang didapatkannya karena tidak sesuai dengan apa yang dibayangkan (itulah resiko menjadi orang yang ingin cepat kaya dengan cara mudah). Karena sebenarnya cara cepat untuk mendapatkan uang yang dipromosikan adalah dengan menjual produk itu kepada orang lain hehehehe…. sekarang sudah kebayang kan?

Yup Multi Level Marketing.. itulah sebenarnya produk yang dijual oleh ketiga situs di atas dan situs-situs lain yang menawarkan produk yang sama. Karena jika mereka langsung menawarkan program mendapatkan yang lewat Multi Level Marketing, pasti ga akan ada yang tertarik. Jadi dibuatlah sebuah Produk lain berupa Ebook dan Software sebagai PEMBUNGKUS MLM itu sendiri.
Lalu apakah ITU SALAH?

Hohoho sabar.. jangan emosi dulu…… Kalau saya justru mengatakan jawabannya adalah :
TERGANTUNG DI SISI MANA PEMBACA IKLAN DAN PEMBELI PRODUK TERSEBUT

Jika dilihat dari sisi Internet Marketing, cara di atas sama sekali TIDAK SALAH karena itu merupakan salah satu trik marketing.

Namun jika dilihat dari sisi orang awam yang tidak mengerti Internet Marketing, maka cara di atas BENAR-BENAR SALAH. Dan justru menganggap itu adalah penipuan.

Lalu sebenarnya apa isi Ebook Penghasil Duit yang ditawarkan di situs-situs sejenis di atas ? Walaupun tiap ebook yang dijual disajikan dalam bebagai kalimat namun saya justru melihat ebook-ebook itu justru saduran bebas dari ebook produk luar negeri. Dan adapun langkah-langkah untuk mencari duit yang tertera di dalam ebook itu bisa saya simpulkan memiliki beberapa persamaan yakni:

1. Member mendapatkan uang dengan menjadi reseller ebook mereka.
2. Member disuruh membuat ebook sendiri dan memasarkannya di internet.
3. Member diajak bermain FOREX.
4. Member diajak untuk bergabung di berbagai program affiliasi.

Simpel bukan ? Namun seperti yang saya katakan di atas bahwa kita tidak dapat mengatakan hal ini SALAH ataupun BENAR. Karena tergantung di sisi mana kita memandangnya.

Lalu mengapa saya mengatakan pemilik ketiga situs di atas dan situs-situs lain adalah Oknum Internet Marketer ?

Ada beberapa hal yang dapat saya catat mengapa saya mengatakan mereka merupakan Oknum yang justru merusak dunia bisnis internet maupun internet marketing di negara kita.

1. Mereka menawarkan program mendapatkan uang dengan screenshot penghasilan mereka dari MLM itu sendiri, jadi seharusnya MLM itu harus diikutsertakan dong dalam promosinya. Jika ingin benar-benar melakukan strategi MLM dengan menjual produk Ebook ataupun software maka BERIKANLAH BUKTI Screenshot pendapatan melalui apa yang dilakukan di Ebook itu. (Disinilah letak penipuan pertama).

2. Mereka menawarkan ebook yang justru menyuruh pembaca melakukan aktifitas PELANGGARAN. Misalkan di ebook yang dijual UangPanxx.com, di situ diajarkan untuk memanipulasi data agar dapat diterima di ClickBank. (walau sebenarnya hal ini sah-sah saja dan sudah banyak yang menggunakannya namun hal-hal kecil seperti inilah yang menyebabkan nama Internet Marketer Indonesia di dunia Internasional menjadi rusak). Sebenarnya selain cara tersebut masih ada cara lain (yang sudah saya jalankan selama ini), walaupun susah dan penuh resiko namun saya lebih memilih mencari partner di luar negeri yang menjadi “Pemilik Usaha” sehingga bisa mendaftar di Clickbank, ya kesannya di balik layar gitu. Emang bisa ? Ya bisa saja, selama partner kita adalah orang yang memang benar-benar kita percaya karena ini menyangkut soal uang. Ruginya, ya karena orang di balik layar ya ga keliatan wkwkwkwk. Cara yang lebih terhormat bukan ?

3. Adapun SMUO yang mereka tiawarkan adalah tidak lebih dari Script Website Menjual Produk lewat Multi Level Marketing secara online. Para Oknum Internet Marketing yang menawarkan produk ini secara sengaja menyembunyikan istilah MLM itu sendiri padahal mereka sendiri sadar bahwa MLM di negara kita begitu dipermasalahkan karena telah banyak yang menjadi korban para downline terbawah.

4. Beberapa situs sejenis mencatut nama-nama orang besar (bahkan disertai foto) sebagai penarik pengunjung untuk bergabung, padahal mereka sama sekali tidak menjadi anggota (bahkan mungkin tidak tahu). Apa ini bukan penipuan ? Seperti kasus yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini seorang sahabat saya blogger pengelola Ekonurhuda.com yang nama dan blognya tercantum sebagai member di Uangpanxx.com. Ketika Ecko protes, justru beliau ditawarkan jalan damai dengan memberi keanggotaan gratis. (Untuk diketahui bahwa Ecko hanyalah reseler di situs itu, bukan anggota terdaftar).

5. Harga-harga bonus yang mereka tampilkan lewat situs mereka sama sekali tidak beralasan, karena sebagian besar bonus-bonus itu adalah Gratis. Trik ini mungkin tidak salah jika bonus-bonus tersebut tidak diembel-embeli dengan harga yang ga masuk akal.

Mungkin cukup 5 hal itu yang ingin saya bagikan di sini, karena saya memang sama sekali ga berniat untuk “menghancurkan” ketiga pemilik situs di atas. Saya hanya ingin agar mereka LEBIH BIJAK lagi dalam memasarkan produknya, sehingga tidak menimbulkan efek negatif bagi dunia internet marketing itu sendiri.

Saya mencatat program Cosaaranda.biz memiliki sistem promosi yang lebih BIJAK dan masuk akal lewat halaman utamanya walaupun produk yang ditawarkan mungkin sebagian hampir sama namun iklannya tetap menarik walau tidak harus dengan kalimat yang menjual mimpi.

Bagaimana dengan internet marketing yang sesungguhnya ingin menjual produknya yang memang benar-benar produk berguna dan sesuai dengan apa yang ditawarkannya ? Saya sangat prihatin, karena dengan kasus-kasus di atas justru mereka harus berjuang lebih keras lagi dalam memasarkan produknya. Untuk menghargai mereka maka saya menyebut saja beberapa Blogger sekaligus Internet Marketing berikut ini, minimal untuk menyemangati mereka agar terus berjuang dan berkarya di dunia internet marketing dan bisnis online di kemudian hari.

1. Pakde Sumintar dengan Produk Billing Internet serta program baru yang akan segera dilaunchingnya.
2. HRXONE dengan produk Amazon2Wp nya.
3. Harry Persikers dengan Produk Domain ber PR.
4. Putra Eka dengan VCC Paypal.
5. Angie dengan Layanan Content Writer.
6. Ollie dengan Toko Onlinenya.

Maaf jika masih ada nama-nama lain yang belum saya sebutkan, namun pada intinya sekarang kita telah mengetahui sebenarnya ada apa di balik program penghasil uang di internet yang ditawarkan melalui landing page dengan kalimat-kalimat yang fantastis. Semua kembali pada diri kita masing-masing, apakah menganggapnya BENAR atau SALAH. Namun minimal dengan membaca artikel ini, kita bisa menghindari diri dari membeli produk Ikan busuk yang dicampur di dalam paket ikan segar.

Selanjutnya saya akan membahas tentang bisnis Affiliasi dan Referal, yang tentunya dengan harapan dalam seminggu hingga 2 minggu mendatang, teman-teman yang membaca artikel seri Fakta dan Mitos Bisnis Online bisa mendapatkan uang dari internet. Ya walaupun ga langsung mendapatkan ratusan dollar dalam waktu singkat, tapi minimal pada awal, teman-teman pembaca bisa mendapatkan belasan hingga puluhan dollar dalam waktu sebulan. Selanjutnya dengan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan, ratusan dollar atau ribuan dollar sebulan bukanlah hal yang mustahil. Yang pasti, teman-teman ga perlu membayar untuk membaca artikel di blog ini bukan ? Hahahahahaha…….

Sangkuriang fell in love with Dayang Sumbi and planned to marry her, only for Dayang Sumbi to recognize his birthmark just as he was about to go hunting.

Web Disigning


Website is a handy and trendy marketing tool for business. For a good website, the visual web design must be attractive and must be able to grab the attention of a large number of visitors.

Web designing is an art and has to be done with interest and involvement. When done with involvement, the user-friendly feature will automatically get incorporated in the design. Stunning web design with good programming and marketing strategies will greatly increase the visibility of the website to the Internet browsers.

From this introduction it can be easily understood that web design is the key aspect of a website. For designing a user-friendly website here are a few tips which I gained through my experience in web designing. These useful tips, when implemented, will yield good user-friendly web designs.
Here to go.

1). What does the website convey?
Your answer to the question will lead you all the way to a good and meaningful web design. For designing a website, one should have a theme. On getting to know more of what the website is about, as a designer or as a Webmaster, it will be easy for you to design accordingly.

2). Planning for the web design
Planning makes work proceed smoothly. The first step in planning is research. Surf through the web to find sites similar to yours. Do a simple yet meaningful research to understand the pulse of the visitors. On doing so, your first impression will always be the best one.

3). Setting theme and layout
After your research and planning, the vital part of your web design is the collection of assets. The first step will be theme selection and webpage layout. There are personal websites, informational websites, ecommerce websites and service providing websites. It is all in the hands of a designer to select a matching theme to satisfy the need and implement it attractively.

4). Web Page Design
Neat and informative web pages are the most visited pages on the net. To design such a web page, the important elements to be taken note of are the header, footer, text area and the navigational area. Avoid using animated/flashy headers and navigational icons. Use a uniform header and footer to give a professional look to the website. These, when designed with care and when followed, will result in good web design.

5). Site Map and Navigation
In web designing, the term navigation is very much apropos with user-friendly. Navigation within the website should be very clear and easy. Always try to implement normal links for moving around, and avoid animated buttons. The column to the right of the webpage should have good navigational links. The site map is another important and easy way for finding web pages in the website. So, never forget these as these are the principal tips to be remembered while designing.

6). Usage of images and text
Web designing is all about expressing the ideas of the business to people. For it to be a success, use of correct images for communicating the content of the website to the visitors is a must. The text in the webpage must be search engine optimized and must convey the message clearly.

7). Page Size and Download Time
After placing the images, links and the text, the complete page should not exceed 30 KB. This size will ensure that the page is downloaded quickly, within 5 to 6 seconds. This time is crucial time because either it may bring visitors or divert them to another website of the same type.

The above are a few important tips to be considered while designing a website. You can follow them or modify them to suit your need. But the fact is that designing is about presenting the information in an elegant, decorative and user-friendly way.

Employee Performance Appraisals

Employee performance appraisals are considered necessary in order to provide information about performance rankings. This information assists in making decisions regarding salary fixation, promotion, confirmation, transfer, and demotion.
