Innova J, Bidik Segmen Usaha

Kijang Innova tidak ingin identik dengan mobil keluarga. Pt. Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) selaku ATPM (Agen Tunggal Pemegang Merek) mulai masuk sektor bisnis. Karena itu, akhir pekan lalu PT. TAM melansir varian baru, Kijang Innova J Grade.

Operation Manager Jatim Plus Auto 200, main dealer Toyota, mengatakan bahwa Innova J bakal dilansir dengan dua jenis. "Yang membedakan adalah jumlah tempat duduk, yakni tujuh dan 5 seat. 5 seat diproyeksikan untuk operasional perusahaan. Jadi, ada tempat untuk membawa barang sekaligus penumpang," katanya.

Keunggulan lain yang membuat innova J lebih kompetitif adalah harga. Ardian menyebut harga mobil jenis baru Innova ini adlah berkisar Rp. 180 juta. Nilai itu selisih R. 20 juta Innova E yang sebelumnya merupakan varian sejenis termurah. "Jadi sangat cocok untuk kendaraan operasioanl perusahaan," cetusnya.

Meskipun murah, Innova J Grade tetap mempertahankan keamanan dan kenyamanan standar Kijang Innova. Diantaranya tilt and power steering, single AC, power windows, power door lock, serta Toyota auto alarm.

"Mesin dan body juga sama. Bedanya hanya di interior saja. Innova J tidak memakai tape dan velg standar," paparnya lagi.

Innova J dengan harga juga dihadirkan dengan bridging bagi pelanggan dengan status sosial yang terus meningkat dan terus berkembang ke arah ekonomi mapan. Harga yang terjangkau memungkinkan kepemilikan bagi mereka yang menginginkan kenyamanan Kijang Innova. "Jadi, keluarga-keluraga muda bisa membeli Innova," cetusnya.***

Kenaikan Harga Membuat Bisnis Ban Anjlok

Kenaikan Harga Membuat Bisnis Ban Anjlok
Kenaikan harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) Oktober 2005 telah memicu kenaikan harga sejumlah kebutuhan pokok. Kenaikan harga itu juga berakibat pada tingginya harga bahan baku. Akibatnya, banyak industri yang dengan terpaksa harus menurunkan kapasitas produksinya, guna menyiasati biaya produksi yang terus melonjak.

Kenaikan harga BBM itu, dampaknya terus dirasakan hingga kini. Salah satu sektor yang paling terpengaruh adalah industri otomotif. Di sektor ini, penjualan kendaraan bermotor (mobil dan motor) mengalami penurunan yang cukup signifikan, yakni antara 40-50 persen dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun lalu.

Di bidang otomotif, salah satu subsektor yang turut merasakan dampak kenaikan harga BBM adalah industri ban. Tahun 2004, total produksi ban (mobil dan motor) di Indonesia mencapai 54,2 juta unit, meningkat dibanding 2003 yang hanya 47,5 juta unit. Tahun 2005, total produksi ban nasional mengalami peningkatan sekitar 12,9 persen mencapai 61,2 juta unit.

Peningkatan sebesar ini disebabkan penjualan kendaraan bermotor (mobil) yang mencapai 533.000 unit dan sepeda motor sebesar 5,1 juta unit. Demikian pula dengan volume ekspor ban nasional yang terus tumbuh setiap tahunnya sejak 1999. Tahun lalu, ekspor ban mencapai 28 juta unit lebih. Namun, memasuki 2006, volume penjualan ban nasional mengalami penurunan. ''Penurunannya mencapai 40 persen,'' kata Dodi Trenggono, asisten Pemasaran, Pasifik Jaya Ban, kepada Republika.

Penurunan ini disebabkan kenaikan harga BBM yang memicu naiknya harga bahan baku ban yakni karet alam menjadi 2,6 dolar AS per kilogram. ''Padahal akhir tahun lalu, harga karet alam hanya sekitar 0,45 sen dolar per kilogram dan mulai bergerak naik pada awal tahun menjadi sekitar 1,5 dolar per kilogram. Pada saat ini, harga karet alam sudah mencapai 2,6 dolar per kilogram,'' kata Ketua Umum Asosiasi Produsen Ban Indonesia (APBI), Aziz Pane, pekan lalu di Jakarta.

Kenaikan harga bahan baku karet alam ini menyebabkan harga ban juga naik. ''Harga ban naik, sedangkan daya beli masyarakat makin berkurang, akibatnya volume penjualan kendaraan bermotor pun turun,'' tambah Dodi. Tahun 2005, volume penjualan ban mencapai 40.889.589 unit, naik dibanding tahun 2004 yang mencapai 35.343.973 unit. Peningkatan penjualan ban tersebut sangat dipengaruhi oleh peningkatan ekspor yang terjadi sepanjang tahun 2005.

Penjualan untuk kategori Original Equiment (OE, dibeli oleh Agen Tunggal Pemegang Merek), pada 2005 mencapai 2.833.642 unit, melonjak hingga 20,7 persen dibandingkan tahun 2004 yang mencapai 2.348.564 unit. Dan penjualan untuk kategori replacement mencapai 10.040.396 unit atau naik 8,2 persen dibandingkan tahun 2004 yang mencapai 9.283.334 unit. Sementara ekspor mencapai 28.015.551 unit, meningkat 18,1 persen dibandingkan tahun 2004 yang mencapai 23.712.075 unit.

Dari volume produksi, untuk ban mobil, produksi terbesarnya masih didominasi jenis mobil penumpang. Berikutnya jenis ban untuk truk ultra-ringan, truk ringan, lalu ban bus/truk dan ban untuk off road. Demikian juga dengan volume penjualan. Ban untuk mobil penumpang menempati peringkat teratas dengan pangsa pasar mencapai 44,8 persen atau sebanyak 24,3 juta unit, disusul ban untuk sepeda motor sebesar 34,4 persen dengan volume penjualan 18,7 juta unit. Berikutnya ditempati ban untuk truk ultraringan, truk ringan, bus/truk dan jenis ban off road.

Dilihat dari sisi pelakunya, pada 2004, PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk masih mendominasi dengan volume penjualan 13,9 juta unit. Pesaing terdekatnya adalah PT Bridgestone Tire Indonesia dengan volume penjualan 4,6 juta unit, lalu PT Sumi Rubber Indonesia, PT Industri Karet Deli, dan Mega Safe Tyre Industry.

Pasar ekspor
Melihat kondisi pasar dalam negeri yang belum stabil, produsen ban mengalihkan dan meningkatkan pasarnya ke luar negeri (ekspor). Tahun 2005, volume ekspor ban nasional mencapai 28 juta unit lebih. ''Pengalihan penjualan ke pasar ekspor itu bagus dan merupakan pilihan agar industri ban tetap hidup. Apalagi, pasar ekspor masih sangat luas,'' jelas Ketua Komite Tetap Pengembangan dan Pemasaran Produk, KADIN, Thomas Darmawan yang juga Ketua Umum Gabungan Asosiasi Produsen Makanan dan Minuman Seluruh Indonesia (GAPMMI).

Azis Pane menjelaskan, dengan kenaikan harga ban di dalam negeri --(tahun ini naik antara 7-10 persen)-- maka untuk mempertahankan pasar, produsen ban berupaya mengalihkan pasr ke luar negeri. ''Sejak BBM naik, penjualan ban dalam negeri terus anjlok hingga awal tahun ini. Oleh karena itu kami alihkan sebagian produk untuk ekspor, sehingga tidak mempengaruhi kinerja industri ban nasional,'' jelasnya.

Dari total produksi ban nasional, sebanyak 82 persen dipasok ke pasar ekspor, dan sisanya 18 persen di pasok ke dalam negeri. Ekspor tersebut, sebanyak 77,5 persen dikuasai ban untuk mobil penumpang, disusul ban mobil truk ultraringan, ringan dan bus.

Aziz menjelaskan, penjualan untuk ekspor makin besar sejak lesunya pasar ban dalam negeri akibat kenaikan BBM tahun lalu. Penjualan dalam negeri pada tahun 2005 sebesar 11 juta dolar AS dan tahun 2006 diperkirakan 12 juta dolar AS. Sedangkan nilai ekspor 2005 mencapai 520 juta dolar AS dan 2006 diperkirakan 640 juta dolar AS. Aziz menambahkan, selain dilempar ke pasar after market, produksi ban nasional juga di pasok ke pasar OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) yaitu kalangan industri otomotif. ***

Finally - A Top Secret Way You Can Get Google AdWords Pay-Per-Clicks FREE

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE! A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an "oversight" on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads. And no, nothing about his "secret" is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the "inside" at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children's toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I've actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for ... and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines ... all of which I got for free ..." So powerful is his secret that he's able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved. Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines. One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique ... and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."

Now to everyone else's fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he's not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We'll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."

It is currently available at:

http://raynelle31.freegoogle.hop.clickbank.net
...so you may want to head on over there now and get it.
It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?

To your success,

5 Tips for Over-worked, Over-pressured Small Business Owners

" 5 Tips for Overworked, Over-Pressure Small Business Owners"

1. Get your Top Business Goals in writing. Have them in order of importance and jot down ideas on how to get them done more effectively.

Stop and have a think about why you are in business. Ask yourself the following questions? What is the purpose of my business? What service and/or products do I offer and what is my edge over my competitors? What value will I give my clients? Who are my Clients and How do I attract them to my business? How will clients and prospects get a hold of me?

Once you have answered most of these questions, You'll be able to pinpoint what needs to get done. To get off to a good start you must get organized. Yes, this seems easier said than done but technology allows us to make this a simpler process. We suggest using a Customer Relationship Manager or a CRM to get you off and running. There are tons of CRM programs in the market you can chose from. SUGAR CRM seems to fit the bill and it's free. This will allow you to track your leads, track your clients, as well as organize your calendar and schedules. It also includes an email marketing feature that would make sending out emails to prospects just a click away. Getting organized will help you get your business running smoothly and ready to be mobile.

2. Learn how to run your Small Business from virtually anywhere.

In the past, visiting a business meant walking into a building. Today, it's can be done without having to get out of your pajamas. People want information and answers as soon as they can think of it and sometimes faster. The Internet has become todays information source and is widely used all over the globe. Getting your business on the Internet would mean getting your business available to the world 24 hours a day, everyday. More importantly, your local clients will be able to get a hold of you from anywhere and anytime. Having web presence is like having a Customer Service Agent working for you around the clock. Also, the flexibility of this virtual office means being able to change it or update it whenever you see fit. Just how others can access your business anytime and anywhere, you too can operate your virtual office from anywhere. Aside from your website, you may also start looking into Voice Over IP (VOIP) and Internet Chat to communicate with your contacts. With the growth of SPAM emails, speaking to people have been getting more relevant in building relationships in business today.

3. Build relationships with everyone you deal with in your business. This includes vendors, clients, staff and yes even your friends. They might be able to lend you a hand in something.

With a reliable and well organized CRM System, an integrated web presence, VOIP and Internet Chat avenue, building relationships will be a breeze. Studies have shown that most business deals are offspring of word of mouth. Building a solid business relationship with everyone in your address book will greatly increase your chances of being referred by them to their contacts. Networking with your contacts and some new people with common interests is a great start in getting your business some exposure. Try getting a profile in business networking sites such as Ecademy, LinkedIN and Xing.

4. How you can save some money and use your available funds properly.

Business is about keeping your cost low and profit higher. How do we put your business on a financial diet? Try to make a list of all the expenses you currently have and ask yourself if it is actually helping your business grow and moving forward. How many items in that list are "empty" calories? If it's making your expenses fat and your business weaker, then it's probably wise to cut it out. Another way to do it is to find alternatives to services or products you are currently using for your business. To cut from operational costs, you might want to use "Open Source" software, which are free, instead of costly commercialized programs that get more expensive throughout the years. Another way is to get a VOIP telephone service such as Vonage, to reduce your long distance phone bills. Are you paying full time staff for part time work? Try to assess if your labor dollars are being spent wisely. Outsourcing some administrative tasks might better fit your financial objectives better.

5. Get some HELP.

A single person cannot handle everything in an 8-hour period, sometimes not even in a few days. Many of us feel that getting everything done ourselves means getting it done right; But doing everything alone can mean not getting anything done at all. You might be an expert in your business, but there are some elements of business which does not require an expert but requires continuous monitoring. What you need for this is time. More time for work usually means less time with family, friends or activities you love to do. Are you willing to give it up? You need to get outside help for these time consuming processes. Outsourcing or Offshoring might sound expensive and unmanageable but it is actually a lot cheaper and way easier to manage since you don't have to deal with employees. Here are ways you can outsource :

1.Virtual Personal Assistant - it's the person that handles your calendar, your emails, your phone calls and everything else while you're out with a client. Since they work in your virtual office, they get you organized and sorted out on time without the hassle of personal issues. 2.Back Office/Administrative Officers - a team of staff that are assigned to fulfill tasks that require constant monitoring or repetitive type of work. These include but not limited to: data entry, generating and compilation of marketing reports, research and bookkeeping. 3.Telesales/ Customer Service Agents - you can have a team of experienced agents to do your telemarketing or sales calls for you. They can also answer questions regarding your products and or services. Setting up a system to do this in-house can be very costly. Why get bothered with starting from scratch when there are available packages for this type of service available and ready to go for only a fraction of the cost of one full time staff?

Once you get through these steps, you will immediately see the difference in your business. You will:

Have more free time with family, friends and things you love. Spend your working hours with clients and important business processes. Increased profits and reduced costs Enjoy life and remember why you went to business for yourself. ***

Harga Pasar Mobil Bekas Anjlok

Harga Pasar Mobil Bekas Anjlok
Bisnis mobil bekas kini lagi lesu. Penjualan, khususnya di bulan November, menurun jauh dibandingkan bulan-bulan sebelumnya. H Rudianto, marketing PT Dian Mobil, Cimanggis, Depok, Jawa Barat mengatakan, pada bulan November lalu, mobil bekas yang berada di showroomnya hanya terjual sebanyak lima unit. Angka ini sangat anjlok dibandingkan penjualan mobkas bulan-bulan sebelumnya yang mencapai 20 unit. ''Bulan November, penjualan mobkas merupakan yang terburuk di PT Dian Mobil,'' ujar Rudi.

Hal yang sama juga dialami M Iqbal dari Asia Motorindo. Jika bulan-bulan sebelumnya pihaknya bisa menjual hingga 10-15 unit per bulan, pada bulan November ia hanya bisa menjual lima unit. ''Itu pun sudah susah payah kita menjualnya,'' kata Iqbal.

Kelompok usaha penjualan used car (mobkas) milik Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Mobil 88, Jakarta Selatan, mengakui minat terhadap mobkas cenderung menurun, walaupun target penjualan masih tercapai. ''Penjualan kita sebenarnya cukup stabil. Rata-rata penjualan mencapai 100 unit per bulan. Namun, beberapa bulan terakhir paska kenaikan BBM dan kenaikan suku bunga perbankan, peminat mobkas agak menurun,'' kata Puguh, karyawan mobil 88. Puguh menyebutkan, dalam setiap bulan Mobil 88 menargetkan penjualan sebanyak 100 unit.

Faktor penyebab melemahnya daya beli masyarakat terhadap mobkas, menurut para pelaku usaha mobkas adalah kenaikan harga BBM pada awal Oktober lalu dan tingginya suku bunga perbankan. ''Faktor utamanya, jelas kedua hal tersebut. Sebab, hal itu sangat mempengaruhi daya beli masyarakat,'' kata Iqbal.

Ditambahkan Rudianto, faktor lainnya yang juga turut mempengaruhi penjualan mobkas adalah hadirnya kendaraan produk-produk baru dari ATPM yang mengambil segmen dengan cc lebih kecil -- yaitu 1.000 hingga 1.500 -- dengan harga relatif murah, sekitar Rp 100 jutaan. ''Dengan cc kecil, tentu pemakaian bahan bakar juga makin enteng. Apalagi, harga kendaraan seperti itu juga cukup murah,'' kata Rudianto yang telah 23 tahun lebih berkiprah dalam jual beli kendaraan mobkas ini.

Menurut Rudianto, kehadiran mobil-mobil baru ber-cc kecil dan harganya murah itu menjadi pesaing utama pebisnis mobil bekas. ''Mobil-mobil bekas yang harganya sekitar Rp 100 jutaan, sulit bersaing. Yang masih cukup menjanjikan adalah mobil bekas yang harganya sekitar Rp 60 jutaan ke bawah,'' tuturnya. Mengenai kendaraan cc kecil yang kini banyak digemari konsumen Indonesia ini juga diakui Jonfis Fandy, General Manager Sales and Promotion PT Honda prospect Motor (HPM). Ia mengatakan, pilihan masyarakat untuk memiliki kendaraan (mobil) saat ini, lebih mengutamakan kendaraan dengan cc yang lebih kecil dan hemat energi. ''Karena itu, mobil yang paling hemat akan menjadi pilihan masyarakat,'' jelas Jonfis.

Faktor lainnya yang juga kadang mempengaruhi penjualan mobkas, jelas Rudianto adalah saat low season, yaitu saat-saat liburan sekolah (Mei-Juli) yang merupakan masa-masa sepi penjualan mobkas. ''Bahkan, ketika Lebaran lalu, penjualan mobkas yang biasanya melonjak, justru menurun,'' ujar mantan wartawan ini.

Rudi menyebutkan, pada saat low season, angka penjualan mobil bekas turun antara 20 dan 30 persen dibandingkan bulan-bulan lainnya. ''Pada bulan lain kami bisa menjual hingga 20-25 unit per bulan. Namun, pada masa liburan, paling banyak terjual sekitar 15-17 unit per bulan,'' jelasnya. Hal yang sama juga disampaikan Indah, staf marketing PT Dharma Karya Mandiri (DKM) Kelapa Dua, Depok. Indah mengatakan, pada saat liburan penjualan mobil bekas mencapai 12-14 unit. ''Padahal pada bulan-bulan lainnya, jika tidak ada kendala seperti kenaikan BBM, dan suku bunga perbankan, penjualan bisa mencapai 18-25 unit,'' ujarnya.

Faktor lainnya yang mempengaruhi penjualan mobkas, kata Suharyadi, staf di Dian Mobil, masyarakat menginginkan perawatan yang ringan. ''Jika biaya perawatan mobkas tinggi, tentu mereka akan wait and see,'' jelasnya beberapa waktu lalu. Ditambahkan, Ardin, bagian teknisi PT Asia Motorindo, besarnya biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk melakukan perawatan mobil bekas, merupakan salah satu faktor mengapa pasar mobkas lesu.

Ditahan atau Banting Harga?
Penjualan otomotif nasional yang cenderung melemah, membuat bingung dan kalang kabut pelaku usaha. Berbagai cara telah ditempuh untuk mendongkrak angka penjualan mobil, termasuk mobkas. ''Sekarang, kita jualan mobil bekas ini serba salah. Kalau dijual, harganya turun dan sulit mencari pembeli. Tapi kalau ditahan, kita harus mengeluarkan biaya perawatan tambahan,'' kata Marketing Dian Mobil, Rudianto. Akibatnya, lanjut dia, dengan kondisi tersebut, pihaknya serba salah dalam menjalankan aktivitas.

Ia menambahkan, masyarakat sekarang benar-benar berhitung dan menunggu untuk membeli kendaraan bermotor termasuk mobil bekas. Sikap wait and see konsumen, tak ayal membuat pelaku usaha mobil bekas kelimpungan. Bahkan, kata dia, masyarakat yang memiliki mobil pun kini banyak yang beralih menggunakan sepeda motor, karena harga BBM tinggi. ''Perhitungannya sangat realistis. Daripada keluar rumah menggunakan mobil menghabiskan sekitar Rp 50 ribu hingga Rp 100 ribu per hari, lebih baik pakai motor yang biayanya jauh lebih murah,'' paparnya.

Saat ini, lanjutnya, muncul pernyataan di masyarakat, ''Pegang kunci kontak, habis cepek (Rp 100 ribu)''. Menghadapi kondisi demikian, jelas Rudi, langkah yang dilakukan agar penjualan tetap berjalan, adalah melepas mobil yang ada di showroom walaupun marginnya sangat tipis bahkan jual rugi. ''Pokoknya, bisa untung Rp 500 ribu hingga satu juta saja kita lepas. Lha, daripada ditahan tidak menghasilkan apa-apa, lebih baik dilepas saja,'' ujarnya.

Namun, kata dia, tidak semua jenis mobil yang dilepas tersebut benar-benar menguntungkan. Terkadang, ia harus melepaskan mobkas dengan bantingan harga yang cukup tinggi, yakni penurunannya mencapai Rp 10 juta per unit dari harga beli.

Ia menyebutkan, mobil Kijang SGX produksi tahun 2000 yang dibelinya dengan harga Rp 113 juta, akan dilepas dengan harga Rp 103 juta. Demikian juga dengan Toyota Crown buatan tahun 1997 yang dibeli dengan harga Rp 86 juta, dilepas seharga Rp 75 juta. Dan Suzuki Aerio produksi 2002 dan 2003 yang dibeli dengan harga Rp 107 juta, akan dijual seharga Rp 96 juta.

Bantingan harga yang turun sekitar Rp 10 juta per unit, kata Rudi, diberlakukan juga pada Nissan Terrano SGX tahun 1997 yang dibeli dengan harga Rp 99 juta, akan dilego Rp 90 juta. OPEL Blazer tipe standar dan LT produksi tahun 1997 dilego seharga Rp 66 juta. Padahal harga beli OPEL Blazer tersebut Rp 73 juta sampai Rp 75 juta.

Langkah lainnya yang juga dilakukan agar peminat mobil bekas meningkat adalah melalui lelang. Pekan lalu, bertempat di pelataran parkir Makro Meruya, Kembangan, Jakarta Barat, panitia Jakarta Automotive Auction (JAA) 2005, untuk ketiga kalinya menggelar acara tersebut. Pimpinan Astria Balai Lelang, Antonius Taksoko mengatakan, melalui lelang tersebut, antara penjual dan pembeli bisa langsung bertemu dan mengecek sendiri kesehatan, fit atau tidaknya kendaraan yang ditawarkan. ''Harga yang ditawarkan pada acara JAA berkisar antara Rp 20 juta hingga Rp 225 juta per unit,'' jelasnya. Mobil yang ikut lelang antara lain Daihatsu Pick Up Zebra 1.3 (2002) dilelang mulai harga Rp 20 juta. Sedangkan tertinggi, mobil Mercedes Benz E 230 A/T (1997) dengan harga Rp 220 juta. ***

Finding Balance In My Life After Starting Home-Based Business

I am really trying hard to keep balance in my life with my new home-based internet marketing business. It has been hard, because I am also teaching piano full-time from my home! Having over 60 students(half-hoursessions), it becomes hard to fit in everything that I need to do in a 24 hour period.I am finding myself driven to work in my online business for several hours a day when I am not teaching. It seems as though posting on Craigs List is MUCH more important than doing the wash, vacuuming, or taking my dog Bella out for a long walk. Having a successful online business takes work,drive,desire,motivation, and most of all, it takes time. I do think, however, that if our lives go out of balance because of the all-consuming home-based business, that we will run into problems. It has been a month now since starting my online business and my life is still out of balance. I have not been excercising, my eating is poor, and things that are normally a priority for me have been put on the back burner. I decided this evening that I will find a return to balance in my life starting tomorrow. I will do it slowly, because trying to return to balance too fast will put me out of balance again! ***

My One Month Aniversary In My Home-Based Internet Marketing Business

I am writing this article today because I am at my one month anniversary for my home-based business!! I am excited about this day because I know that I have learned and have accomplished so much!! I have also become a really excellent typer! Having a home-based business is a really fun because you really never know what the day is going to bring!! After my one month I have met soo many nice people and I am a member of a lot of different forums.

I have been learning soo much about advertising as well as what types of affiliate programs are worth joining or not. I think one of the things that I do regret, is that I did join a few too many programs at one time. In a sense, I am picking berries from a lot of different baskets. I never decided to have a home-based business to get rich quick. I was told that this would not happen, and that most home-based businesses fail.

I do not want to believe that statistic at all because I believe that many people give up.. do not fail when they do not see immediate results! I will not give up and I will not fail. I love this business and will support anyone who wants to join me in one of the most exciting professions in the world! ***

Make Money from eBay Misspellings

It's amazing how many eBay Misspellings you'll find on eBay that have been incorrectly spelt, for example 'playstation is often 'plastation', 'playstatoin'. You can profit from these mistakes as when someone tries to search for an item using the correct spelling the misspellings do not show in the search results. You'll find that the misspelling auctions usually have fewer bids on, as potential buyers cannot find them.

If you can find these misspellings then you can purchase them at a low price, and relist for a profit by using the correct spelling so that they will show in the search results.

You have two options in finding these misspellings, the first is to physically search eBay which is time consuming and a total nightmare or the second is to use a website that can find these gems. You will find one such misspellings finder at Auction Typos just enter the correct spelling at this address like 'playstation' (without the quotes) and then select the eBay site you would like to search and the site will return auctions for playstation that have been misspelt. It's as easy as that.***
