SAPU TANGAN YANG JATUH

Pada suatu hari ada seorang wanita yang bernama chalesina.

Dan seorang laki-laki yang bernama jagora

Pada suatu ketika seorang wanita berkunjung ke rumah jagora karna jagora tak tau yang memesan kue jagora memanggil ibunya ibu jagora bernama Krishanti.

Lalu kata Jagora:”ibu……,ibu…….”!

Lalu ibu jagora langsung keluar rumah .kata ibu Krishanti:”ada apa sih kok berisik”!

Kata Jagora:”ini bu ada wanita yang membawa kue katanya ibu memesan”?

Kata Krishanti:”iya nak iu memesan kepada wanita gadis ini,oh,iya ibu hamper lupa memperkenalkan kalian berdua”!

Kata Jagora:”apaan sihibu kasian wanita itu kalo dia gak mau gimana”!?

Kata krishanti:”mau kok wanita ini baik masa menolak tawaran ibu sih,ya kan non Chalesina”!?

Kata Chalesina:”heheheh,bisa aja ibu ini “

Kata krishanti:”oh,iya non sini kue nya kan non mau kenalan sama anak ibu Jagora”

Sambil tersenyum kepada non chalesina dan mengambil kue yang ia pesan tadi.

Lalu chalesina dan Jagora mengulurkan tangan nya dan memberitahu nama mereka masing masing .

Kata Jagora:”kenalkan namaku Jagora,panggil saja rawi”

Sambil tersenyum kepada Chalesina.

Kata Chalesina:”kenalkan namaku Chalesina,panggil saja lesina”

Chalesina langsung membalas senyuman jagora ke Chalesina.

Kata krishanti:”nah kan sudah kenalan sekarang kita makan berama saja kue nya bagaimana kan enak sama yang bikin nya.”

Affiliate Sales Programs - How to Choose a Good Product

 By Jack Lowry

Choosing a good product to sell from your affiliate sales programs depends on two main things. First, you need to have some degree of knowledge or expertise about that product or, more importantly, you need to be interested in the product's category or topic. And secondly, you need to make sure the product owner's webpage has a high sales conversion rate.

The beauty of affiliate sales programs is that although competition might affect your success to some degree, it is not a liability to have tons and tons of other affiliate marketers promoting the same product. As long as you are able to drive traffic to your affiliate product's website, you will be able to make a lot of money in whatever affiliate sales program you choose.

When first deciding upon a product, your knowledge and enthusiasm for the product are most important. Even if you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about an affiliate sales program's product, it just takes a few days of study and research online to learn what you need to know to make money. If you are truly interested in a product category, then you shouldn't have much trouble finding out what you need to know to make money with your affiliate sales program.

Once you've decided upon a particular category of products from which to choose, look at the products that are hot sellers. The affiliate sales program should provide a list of products arranged by category, like Clickbank. Visit the websites of some of the top sellers in the affiliate sales program, and find out if they offer any affiliate bonuses for a lot of converted sales and any other useful stuff like pre-made pictures you can put on your website to advertise with. Also try to determine if they have a good conversion rate, 10% and up is considered pretty high.

Once you can narrow down your affiliate sales program's product selection with these criteria, you will be well on your way to being successful.

Choosing A Good Name For Your Product or Service

By John Xavier

Product and service names are important-- they make it easier for customers to remember the product or service involved. A good name will have lasting impressions and positive associations. This improves the effectiveness of advertising, facilitates word of mouth, and attracts even more customers, leading to more sales. A bad name for a product won't leave a pleasant taste in your customer's mouth, so please use consideration when naming your product or service.

First of all, does your name have any negative connotations? If it does, it definitely is worth it to consider using another name. Even the catchiest names can go horribly bad if the name carries a secondary, even if less obvious, negative meaning.

Secondly, is an appropriate web address available for your name? In this age of internet and web dominated society, you would be missing out on a lot of chances to make a sale if you do not have a web site for your product or service. You may need to make changes to your product's name if you can't find an available domain name.

Thirdly, does your name sound well in everyday conversation. It is not wise to choose a complex name that is prone to tongue twisters. You also shouldn't choose a name which is embarrassing to say. If you do choose an embarrassing name, your customers will not feel like saying it that often and word of mouth marketing will suffer. This is unfortunate since word of mouth costs absolutely nothing!

Names of new internet startups, especially Web 2.0 companies, are especially important. They will have no offline equivalent and will need to rely entirely on web marketing if you want to get your site well-known. It is even harder for new internet startups to choose a name. Not only do you have to have a memorable, good-sounding name, you have to be sure that the domain name is available. Names that are short and catchy sounding are tough to get domains for, since most of the pronounceable 4-letter and shorter names are already taken.

Choosing a good name for your product or service is an important but often overlooked task. Do not simply go with what sounds the best at first. Research, do some experiments, and get people's impressions of the name before settling on your final decision.

Choosing Good ClickBank Products to Promote

Deciding on the ClickBank product to promote can be a difficult task, since there are so many product options to choose from. This post will try to narrow down the field to help you get started as you find the right product to promote as an affiliate marketer.

Although there is no exact method to find a profitable product, there are a few things that will help you increase the chances of your success. Here are a few recommended steps to find a profitable ClickBank product to promote.

Choosing a Niche
First, think about what market you would like to work in. It is best to choose the market that interest you the most. It is a good start to choose a market relating to your skills, experience or hobbies, because you are going to spend a lot of time talking about them.
Targeting your customers

After choosing your niche, the next important step is to understand who is buying in this niche, and what they are interested to buy. One good way to research this is to browse forums related to your niche to find out what are the buyer's needs, wants and what obstacles they are facing.
Choosing Top-Selling Products

After having a good understanding of your customers, it is now time to choose some good products to promote. Click bank uses a measure called "Gravity" to represent how well a product is being sold. This will roughly tell us how many other people are making sales with the product. The higher the number, the more people are selling it, showing us the increase in competition. However, this is not the only measure to consider before choosing the product. My preference is to find products that has a gravity of over 40, because these products have a record of selling well some other affiliate marketers. Though you may also consider if the gravity is below 40, but those below 30 might be a waste of time to promote.

A very high gravity on the other hand, informs us of a high competition in the niche. Don't let this discourage you from choosing the product though, because competition is good as it means that the demand for the product in the niche is high. Besides products with high gravity, low gravity products could still be worth promoting. It might be new but could be a great opportunity for great sales. You shouldn't reject an otherwise high quality product because of its low gravity score.

Commission

The next thing to look out for is how much money you are going to make per sale. I would go for anything over $20, with higher preference on those closer to $30, so that any money or time I spent is worth my time n promoting it. I aim to spend less time and make more money.

Persuasive Pitch Page

Finally, do not forget to take a long look at the sales pages of the products, since you will be relying on them to convert your HopLinks into commissions. Do you get convinced? Does the page address the concerns in the market? Are you persuaded by it or feel it to be credible, or does it sound unbelievable or to good to be true? Would you buy the product? One rule of thumb to decide if the sales page is good enough is to see whether you will be strongly attracted to buy the product.

Multiple Products
As an extra, some good ideas is to find a market that has multiple related products being sold. The advantage of multiple products allows you to create a review page, which would increase your chances of making sales. One mistake many people make on writing reviews is that they write all positive reviews about a product by telling visitors how great and amazing it is. While there are still sales, but this is not the best way to write reviews for ClickBank products. Having some sort of wishlist or what the product is missing is a better way to show readers what he product has, and still give an honest and trustworthy feeling in the review.

Deciding on the right product is the first step of becoming a successful affiliate marketer, and if done right, it will greatly improve your chances of earning a good income.

Hope you found these tips for choosing good ClickBank products to promote helpful. Do share with us if you have any special strategies of your own.

Getting good airsoft products is about accessories too

When you made the decision that you want to buy your very own airsoft replica, it's a proper idea for you to get as much information as possible from the online retailer that you hope will supply you with a variety of choices when it comes to these airsoft guns.

That means that you will need to look for a location that has an outstanding inventory of everything from sniper rifles to replica pistols because it's necessary for you to have the best selection of airsoft guns possible to choose from. However there's more to making a purchase of any airsoft product than just picking the kind of replica that you want to suit your lifestyle. You also need to be sure to have a look at the different kinds of accessories that go along with your selection to keep the product running smoothly and efficiently and your own personal safety at an optimal level.

With that said it's important to remember that airsoft guns do in fact fire projectiles so one of the first accessories that you should be looking for is a high-grade pair of safety glasses that will protect your eyes from any kind of ricochet. An online retailer that is very serious about selling you quality airsoft products will also have a fine selection of safety glasses for you to select from so that you can enjoy the gaming experience without worrying about your own personal safety.

It's important to keep in mind here that some of the airsoft guns that you will be looking at are more powerful than others and while in most instances a pair of goggles will be good enough there are some times where you might feel more easy with a full face mask that includes eye protection. However, not all the accessories that you can buy from any airsoft retailer have to do with safety and you should be looking for a firm that can supply you with some of the more interesting and fun accessories like rubber bayonets and even leg holsters that can either be used for a replica or a real gun.

When you're looking to get yourself involved and are searching the Internet for airsoft guns, you need to be sure that you are dealing with a credible airsoft dealer. When you see the combination of a good inventory and some excellent accessories you can rest assured you're on the right path.

Building Strategic Alliances Is Necessary To Business Success

By George Tyler  
 

Building alliances can be tricky. Building strategic alliances is time-consuming in that to do it well, you need to be able to see the big picture. In a recent article written by Ken Lyons; 63 Free (or Almost Free) Ways to Market Your Business, each and every suggestion has its roots in building relationships. Mr. Lyons' advice isn't repetitive. It's just that the art of building strategic alliances is in and of itself the most effective, direct, and foolproof way of marketing your business. With the right alliances, you have others talking about your business to potential customers.
When one is making a list of 63 Free (or Almost Free) Ways to Market Your Business, especially if that list is good, every single suggestion is going to have the same brand of wisdom deeply embedded in it. Your business depends on relationships. That being said, expecting the typical business owner to set aside his crucial to-do list to devote the time and energy it takes to find and build alliances with other businesses is somewhat ridiculous. Yes, it's absolutely necessary, but is there a fire to put out? No? Well then most business owners are going to turn their attention back to the fire they were putting out before we interrupted them. Most business owners would welcome some advice.
Here are just a few of Mr. Lyon's suggestions;

• Partner with related, established but non-competitive companies to co-sponsor webinars, white papers, etc.


• Help influential people in your space promote their own products on your blog and on social media (I guarantee that most will return the favor and help promote your stuff too).


• Build a tool or feature you know a thought leader will love and give it to them for free (make them a brand advocate).


• Run a big group interview - helps you build relationships and brand evangelists within your niche, gets links, social media engagement and you can potentially create a super authoritative document that ranks for a competitive topic.

How do you find a good partner who will help you get new customers? The first step is asking your current best customer. Your customers love you and usually want to help you. Ask them who else do they, as business owners, like dealing with. Ask them who is the best sales person or business owner that they like dealing with, besides you, of course. Then ask for a face-to-face introduction.
The best way to conduct that introduction is for you to take your customer, and their friend to lunch. Then your customer will rant and rave about you, as you meet a new potential partner. Next step is developing a relationship with this new partner and develop business that helps both of you. Learn to track your mutual success to ensure the relationship is achieving everyone's goals.
You are ready to explore what strategic alliances can do to help your marketing plan really soar. If you need help, find a trusted advisor to guide you.

5 Things to Look for When Shopping for CRM Systems

By Jeff Weigang  

 
When it comes to shopping the different CRM systems on the market, you want to pay attention to a few different factors. Once you choose a customer relationship management program for your computer, you want to stick with it to avoid conversion problems and a loss of data. However, to ensure you get the most out of the program, you want to make sure you buy the right program from the very beginning. You can use various consulting services to help you select the right program. To make sense of it all, pay attention to the following 5 things.

1. Compatibility. As you look for different CRM systems, you want to look at the compatibility with the rest of your computer programs. The less you have to input, the better it will be. When you can use the system in conjunction with Outlook, it will make it easier to send off marketing messages. In addition, there are programs that will work with the systems that will allow you to share customer information to avoid duplicate entries.


2. Ease of Use. You shouldn't have to spend a lot of time learning the CRM systems that are installed on your computer. Additionally, when you buy a system, you want to make sure that other employees know how to use it as well. When it runs just like your other programs, it will be easier to use, which means you will spend less time working within the program on a day to day basis.


3. Type of Data. Not all CRM systems have the same amount of data. You want to look at the programs to see how much they are able to hold. You may want to consider how it will hold previous purchases, information about the customer and even the reports that it can generate. Consider what you need now as well as what you may need as you start to expand your business.


4. Marketing abilities. Some CRM systems handle marketing strategies better than others. You may want to send out a different marketing plan to one demographic over another. Further, you may want to make recommendations to certain groups based upon their needs or past buying history. When you have more marketing strategies available to you, it will allow you to tap into more of the market to compete with the competition and increase sales at the same time. Take the time to explore which systems will offer what.


5. Price. While price isn't the only thing that matters when you choose CRM systems, it does matter. You can find an array of products on the market that cost various amounts of money. Before you focus on how much the system costs, you need to ensure that it has everything you need - and could potentially need down the road. Once you locate two or three systems that have everything you want, then you can make some comparisons between costs.

Five Ways to Increase Your Business Resilience

By Jan Richards 

"A good half of the art of living is resilience."
Alain de Botton
A good half of the art of business is resilience, as well.
Here's how the need for it shows up, typically:

•  All signs are that things are going pretty well.

• Oh, maybe the data show that one small thing is not quite right, but it shouldn't turn out to be a big deal, after a few process tweaks and tucks. It's really nothing to worry about.

• Suddenly, out of the clear blue, you're facing potential disaster.

That little problem you weren't worried about?
It blew up.
And now you're sunk.
Or are you?
This is when resilience is a potentially business-saving asset, if you have it.

But for those who struggle with resilience, what causes it?
It's fear.
And it's human nature, in many ways.

No one wants to think about what might go wrong.
But putting your head in the sand is not a winning strategy in any business or profession.

And it only increases stress, instead of burying it.
Manage your stress by reducing your stress, rather than by trying to ignore it.

If you'd like to grow or improve your resilience, start with the following five ideas.
They can soften the blow or save your business during unexpected and challenging times:

1. Stretch your thinking.
You'll be more prepared to respond to any unexpected situation if you consider what might go wrong well before something happens.

Just by considering a wide range of possibilities, and mentally rehearsing what you and the people you work with would do to address them improves your ability to respond effectively in any circumstance that occurs.
One way to do this is scenario analysis. In a simple, structured format, you consider the best case, worst case, and most likely circumstances.

Then you stretch even further in each direction, and consider EVEN worse, and EVEN better things that could be ahead. Having done that, your "most likely" scenario is likely to be different and more accurate, than it previously was.

And however it works out, you are likely to have previewed and rehearsed, even in cursory fashion, what you might do and how you would approach previously unexpected situations.

2. Pay attention to critical details.
Track key indicators of possible change to improve your ability to predict what might happen, before it does.
Look at it this way: you're improving the crystal ball you use to predict what will happen in the future.
To use examples in nature, animals, who are tuned in to very subtle signs in their environment, are far better than humans are at predicting and being ready for some natural disasters when they occur.

Dogs and cats, for example, can often tell when an earthquake is going to happen.
A recent New York Times article addressed birds' ability to anticipate and prepare for dangerous storms. That article is here: "Birds Have Natural Ability to Survive Storms," http://budurl.com/2l4h
Similarly, you can discover and track early warning signs of possible change in business.
To do so, start by identifying the highest risk aspects of your business.

Then brainstorm details or related trends that you could track to give you early warning about the very changes you worry about now... but could take action to prevent or minimize if you knew they were beginning to occur.

3. Figure out what processes and systems must work if only part of the company can work.
Change those core and key processes and systems now if they're the ones your business must stand on to ride out an emergency for a while.

And if that emergency never occurs... and hopefully it won't... you will benefit from faster, easier, more cost-effective processes and ways of getting work done.
That's almost guaranteed to lower your costs and improve your profits.

4. Create an emergency plan and resources for your business.
This one is easy to wave off, but it could save your business, and it could save lives, too.
Encourage your employees and friends of the business, such as your customers, suppliers, and colleagues to do so, too.

Here are links to pages on the FEMA website that tell you how to create business preparedness plans. There's also a page there that gives instructions for creating emergency kits:
Business Preparedness: http://budurl.com/mw9r

5. Practice.
Find small ways to try resiliency out.
Be creative. Be positive, even if it's not pleasant to think about.
Treat resiliency-building like a game, if you can.
It's a game with high stakes, if you have to exercise it.
Your business... and your life... could depend upon it.
And the odds are it will have beneficial effects far beyond what you might expect, even if that rainy day never comes.

7 Things Your Brand Can Do to Make Your Emails More Appealing

By Inge Van Eetveldt 

Email marketing is recognised as the most effective marketing medium and is widely known and praised for the excellent results it is able to yield. However, marketers and brands sometimes forget that apart from being a super charged sales enhancer, email is also a very personal communication channel and should therefore first and foremost be approached as such. Trying to make your brand's emails more appealing and pleasant will often work better than a hard sales pitch where the focus is solely placed on converting leads into sales. Here are a few things that will help your brand make your emails more enjoyable to the all-important subscribers who receive them.

Keep design simple
Subscribers are often met with hundreds of emails for many hours at times on multiple screens, and this can become exhausting, especially if every email opened tries to be more colourful and attention grabbing than the next. Keeping the design simple and uncluttered can help you communicate your message without seeming overbearing - an overall more pleasant experience.

Welcome subscribers to your list
People like to feel welcome and appreciated. When subscribers opt in to your consumer email database, they are taking a risk and are often unsure about what happens next. A welcome email is seen as a friendly message that will put your new subscribers at ease while also giving them more clarity on what they can expect from the new relationship.

Friendly copy
Copywriting for email marketing is as a varied field as any other advertising copy and does rely on the creative, the product and the kind of campaign. However, for the most part it has been found that subscribers respond well to copy that is amicable, funny and 'human' rather than sales orientated.
Personalised content

The great thing about email marketing with the use of a profiled email database is that you have all kinds of information about your subscribers which can help you make your campaigns more successful. Show your subscribers that you know them by making an effort to personalise emails and by providing them with content that is tailored to each individual subscriber.
Great content

Content is king and that rule still holds true when it comes to email marketing. Instead of just marketing to your subscribers, engage, educate and entertain them with your excellent branded content.
Easy navigation

If your company's emails are more like mini-websites in themselves, it might me a good idea to add some navigation functionality to them. This helps subscribers to find what they need at a glance, which is really how long they will take to look at your email anyway. The rule here is to do whatever you can to make life easier for your subscribers.

Allow subscribers to contact you through other channels
Provide your subscribers with multiple options of making further contact with you. In the day of email, digital and ecommerce, it may seem a little antiquated to include something like a telephone number in your mailers, but sometimes it can help subscribers who are unsure to take the next step in the direction of conversion.

Choose a good product

Sometimes being new to the sales industry, or internet
marketing, many may confuse their target market and
product and/or service to be one and the same. Your
target market is a specific group of people whom

you are selling your product or service to.
Your product or service is what you are using to help your
prospective customers or your target market solve the
problems that they are faced with, thus making their
lives a little bit easier.

Objective: Join your target market and your product or
service together and the two become one and they both live
happily ever after.

Now back to choosing. A good friend of mine reminded me of
something that I feel is of vital importance when choosing a
product or service. When choosing your product and/or
service you may want to first consider choosing something
that you enjoy being involved with and that is of great
interest to you.

For example you may like fishing, and you are an expert on
choosing the proper bait for bass fishing. There are many people
that love to fish and they do not know what you know, so you
provide them with information on bass bait and the actual bait that
you use to get results.

Target market or audience: People who like to fish for bass.
Product or service: Information on bass fishing and bass
fish bait.

Choosing your product or service really doesn't have to get
any harder than this, but if you choose to keep the things that
you enjoy from being attached to words such as work, job, or
employment, well here's the other side of choosing your
product or service. Warning: If you are not enjoying what
you are doing it soon becomes a chore and chores get to
be very boring!

The other side of choosing: Research, Research, and more
Research. Now mind you, in choosing a product or service on
either side it will take some research. It's just that when
you are researching something that you enjoy it's not such a
chore. The choice is yours!

Important tips on researching your product or service;

•  Consider where the information is coming from. As you

know by now the internet is swarming with all kinds of
enticing offers, and just because it's on the internet does
not mean it's reliable or even true for that matter. (This
Website included). Yet I will continue to do my best to
bring you valuable and tested information and product
referrals.

• Visit your local library.: Your local library will have the

largest variety of information resources from newspapers,
journals, magazines, and books that you can check out for a
period of time to help you thoroughly digest the information
you need to know to be competitive.

• Check Out Your Competitors. This is where the Internet

will really work for you. For example: again you like bass
fishing, and you want to sell your special bass fishing bait.
You simply do a search on your major search engines
(Google, AOL, MSN, Yahoo), enter your keyword phrase-
bass bait - and see what the top ten are doing to be successful,
and figure out what you can offer that's better or what they
are not offering and offer it to your target market.

As I said, researching does not have to be hard or even a
chore, but for the more analytical mind here's a great
website on researching that I think you will appreciate.
