Harga Cabai Mahal, Bagaimana Menyiasatinya?


Tidak dipungkiri bahwa cabai merupakan bahan pangan yang sangat dibutuhkan hampir disetiap dapur rumah tangga. Di kalangan kaum ibu, cabai merupakan suatu hal yang penting yang harus ada hampir setiap waktu. Untuk daerah-daerah tertentu seperti Sumatra Barat dan Riau dimana cabai merupakan "makanan wajibnya", keberadaannya sudah bisa dibilang selalu harus ada di setiap menu masakannya. Tidak perduli apakah harganya murah maupun harganya mahal. Tetap dibeli dan jadi incaran.

Namun bagaimana bila biaya dapur yang sudah disediakan terbatas? Apalagi menyaksikan harga cabai dari hari ke hari semakin mahal. Apakah ada menyiasati mahalnya harga cabai ini? Berikut kami suguhkan tips menyiasati harga cabai yang mahal.

Kunci penting dalam menyiasati mahalnya harga cabai adalah melihat musim panen dari cabai itu sendiri. Berdasarkan kebiasaan, bila sudah mulai masuk musim kemarau, persediaan cabai melimpah dan otomatis membuat harganya jadi lebih murah. Nah, murahnya harga cabai di musim kemarau ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk membelinya dan menyimpannya sebagai persediaan. Nah lho? apakah bisa menyimpan cabai dalam waktu yang lama? Bagaimana kalau busuk? bukannya untung bisa jadi malah buntung....

Tunggu dulu... semuanya kan ada jalan keluarnya. Namanya juga tips, tentu ada kiatnya bagaimana agar cabai tidak cepat membusuk.

Berikut langkah-langkahnya:

1. Sebelum membeli cabai dalam jumlah banyak, siapkan tempatnya terlebih dahulu. Bisa berupa baskom, anyaman rotan maupun ember.
2. Pilihlah cabai yang hendak dibeli agar kualitasnya terjaga.
3. Cuci bersih cabai tersebut lalu tiriskan.
4. Setelah tidak basah lagi, untuk cabai keriting, haluskan atau blender lalu tumis hingga matang. Beri tambahkan garam secukupnya, selain nanti saat memasak tidak direpotkan lagi dengan memberinya garam, hal ini juga bisa mengawetkan cabai tersebut.

5. Untuk cabai merah besar yang mengandung banyak air, jemur sebentar di tengah matahari agar rasanya tak berubah. Setelah itu haluskan dengan blender lalu tumis dengan sedikit minyak hingga matang. Sama dengan cabai keriting, jangan lupa tambahkan garam secukupnya.

6. Siapkan beberapa botol bekas, cuci dan keringkan. Masukkan cabai halus matang tadi ke dalam botol bekas tersebut. jangan lupa untuk menuliskan tanggal pembuatannya dengan spidol water proofing (tahan air) agar tidak luntur. Simpan seluruh botol tadi di dalam kulkas. Bila ruang freezer kosong, sebaiknya di simpan disana. Stok cabai matang ini bisa tahan hingga 1 bulan di dalam freezer.

Tips ini sangat membantu sekali bila tiba saatnya cabai langka dan harganya mahal. Bila kiat menyiasati harga cabai yang mahal ini dilakukan semua ibu-ibu, niscaya kelangkaan cabai dan mahalnya harga cabai disaat bulan ramadhan datang tidak akan terjadi lagi.

catatan:
Bila persediaan cabai ini masih bersisa disaat harga cabai masih tinggi, agar umurnya bisa lebih panjang lagi, tinggal Anda jemur kembali cabai-cabai tersebut atau digongseng beberapa menit agar bibit jamurnya mati dan tidak sempat hidup.***

2008 Trends in SPAM
FTC had made little if any dent in the amount of SPAM, instead SPAM blocking systems have paved the way to remove much of the spam out there. When the Federal Trade Commission took on the SPAM case their public relations campaign stated; "We Plan to Take a Bite Out of SPAM!" and although this was met with anger from the company that makes the product Spam, the FTC was off and running chasing that bone.

Unfortunately, before they could bring any solid cases to court they had to decide what Spam was and they held meetings around the country to come up with a good definition. Once they did it was 6 months later and Spam had increased by nearly 1500% and it was not stopping there. Meanwhile spammers seeing the writing on the wall increased their volumes in the hopes to make tons of money and then retire early. By the time the FTC brought any cases to court in this country foreign spammers had joined in and SPAM was then over 3000% higher than when the FTC started and although they did bring about high-profile cases, which put a speed break on US based Spammers, their cases only accounted for 1-2% of all the SPAM on the Internet. Some would say this was a dismal failure and I am one of those people after having done 100s of hours of research on this topic, nevertheless they did try.

Today, the SPAM is still being sent out, but it is not being received thanks to SPAM blocker technology that is either catching it in your inbox or at the server. So, for now SPAM is not as bad as it was, but it is still a problem and will be for the remainder of this year. ***

How to Find the Message Header For a Yahoo Email Address
There are many reasons that you might want research an email message. Two of the most common reasons are to find out more the sender and try to stop spammers. Others might need to check up on their children's online activities. Still others might just be curious about the path that emails take to reach them. Whatever the reason, one of the easiest ways to find out more information about email addresses and their senders is to find and use the email headers. Email headers are, essentially, digital envelopes; they tell computers where messages came from and where they're going. By accessing this information, you can learn more information about mysterious messages.

If you're using Yahoo!, finding email headers is quick and simple. First, login to your account and open the message you'd like to learn more about. At the top right of the pane, you will see the word reply. Right next to reply, there's a downward pointing arrow. Clicking on this pops up a menu. Select "Show Original," and the headers will pop up in a separate window. Now that you know how to use Yahoo! to find email headers, all that's left is deciphering the header.

Deciphering email headers is easier said than done. Headers are meant to be read by computer, not humans, which means they're not in plain English. However, the information you need shouldn't be hard to find. Scan down the document and find the last (lowest) repeat of the phrase "Received: from"; this line should refer to the computer that originally sent the message. Just to the right of "Received: from", you should see an IP address (the ten or so digit number with periods). This is the Internet print of the computer that sent the message. With this traceable number, you might be able to find out more information about the sender of the message. Of course, using email headers isn't the only way to do research about strange email messages. If you want to find the owner of a Yahoo! email address, you can also use a reverse email lookup. Reverse email lookups search for strange email addresses and provide the name of the owner, and sometimes even more information. So if you need to learn more about a strange email, you can use the Internet to assist in your search. ***

Menjaga Harga Beras

Menjaga Harga Beras
Masyarakat saat ini dihebohkan dengan kenaikan harga beras yang begitu dramatis. Di mana-mana terjadi kenaikan harga yang melonjak tinggi. Di Pasar Induk Cipinang, Jakarta, kenaikan harga beras Rp1.000 hingga Rp1.500 untuk kualitas 1.

Yang lebih memprihatinkan, kenaikan itu terjadi di daerah-daerah penghasil beras. Ketika operasi pasar dilakukan Bulog, rakyat berjubel untuk membeli beras, bahkan sempat terjadi beberapa keributan. Terkait dengan lonjakan harga salah satu kebutuhan pokok itu, para pejabat elite justru saling memberikan pernyataan kontroversi dan tidak konsisten. Misalnya, menteri pertanian mengatakan bahwa periode 2007 tidak ada kebijakan impor beras. Sebab, akan terjadi kenaikan produksi dan dibandingkan dengan kebutuhan konsumsi nasional, akan surplus.

Untuk periode 2007, ditargetkan terjadi kenaikan produksi sekitar 2 juta ton ekuivalen beras. Tetapi, beberapa hari setelah itu, rapat koordinasi yang dipimpin Wakil Presiden M. Jusuf Kalla yang diikuti beberapa menteri perekonomian beserta Dirut Bulog memutuskan untuk segera mengimpor beras sekitar 1 juta ton secara bertahap. Saat itu menteri pertanian tidak hadir dalam rapat.

Mekanisme Pasar
Pada dasarnya, perdagangan beras di Indonesia adalah bebas, diserahkan kepada mekanisme pasar. Jadi, jika suatu daerah yang menjadi lumbung beras panen raya, beras akan mengalir ke wilayah, bukan produsen. Apalagi sistem penjualan oleh petani/buruh tani menggunakan sistem tebasan. Pada saat panen, dalam waktu singkat gabah/beras itu sudah dikuasai tengkulak pedesaan sampai penggilingan-penggilingan besar.

Karena itu, saat kondisi produksi beras mengalami perubahan yang drastis, terutama akibat iklim yang tidak dapat dikuasai manusia misalnya banjir atau kemarau panjang walau memungkinkan surplus, stok padi dikuasai para pengusaha/pedagang.

Jika itu yang terjadi, hal tersebut akan digunakan sebagai spekulasi untuk mendikte harga di pasar dan mendapatkan keuntungan besar. Dalam hal ini, yang sangat dirugikan adalah masyarakat berpendapatan tetap, terutama PNS dan buruh tani yang jumlahnya mayoritas, serta petani yang tidak menguasai stok, buruh pabrik, dan masyarakat kecil perkotaan. Menurut UU No 7/1996 tentang Pangan, pengadaan pangan dan menyediakan stok menjadi tanggung jawab pemerintah, meskipun ditambah kata-kata “bersama masyarakat”.

Oleh pemerintah, instrumen untuk mengendalikan tersedianya beras secara nasional diberikan kepada Bulog. Karena itu, jika harga beras tidak terkendali, itu mengindikasikan bahwa stok beras di masyarakat memang sangat tipis. Hanya, sering terjadi perbedaan data tentang stok beras masyarakat yang dimiliki Departemen Pertanian dengan data BPS maupun Bulog. Padahal, seharusnya perbedaan data itu tidak boleh terjadi karena mengindikasikan hubungan yang kurang harmonis dan perbedaan metodologi perhitungan.

Tidak Ada Alternatif
Stok beras pada akhir Maret diperkirakan tinggal 300 ribu ton. Maka, tidak ada alternatif lain kecuali mengimpor. Dengan kenyataan itu, kebijakan impor beras seharusnya tidak menjadi alergi bagi siapa pun.

Tafsiran banyak pihak, baik DPR maupun lembaga organisasi sosial kemasyarakatan dan para ahli ekonomi pertanian bahwa impor beras akan menjadikan pelestarian kemiskinan di tingkat petani, sungguh tidak logis. Tanpa melihat konteks serta asumsi dasar yang digunakan, memang seyogianya impor beras merupakan kebijakan insidental dan harus dipertimbangkan, bukan dari aspek politis tapi merupakan kebutuhan sosial ekonomi.

Karena itu, ke depan Bulog perlu dikembalikan menjadi lembaga yang bertanggung jawab terhadap pengamanan harga dasar gabah. Tidak sebagaimana sekarang yang diatur Inpres No 9/2005, istilah harga dasar dikaburkan dengan istilah harga dasar pembelian pemerintah (HDPP) sehingga terkesan kurang ada kebijakan pemerintah (Bulog) untuk mengamankan harga dasar tersebut.

Juga, perlu ada subsidi terhadap jumlah minimal stok cadangan nasional beras yang dimiliki pemerintah setiap tahun. Tujuannya, menjamin tersedianya beras di pasar sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya lonjakan harga. Tentu dengan cara operasi pasar yang dapat melindungi konsumen. Seyogianya pula, semua pihak, termasuk pakar, lembaga-lembaga terkait, dan organisasi kemasyarakatan yang memperjuangkan aspirasi petani mampu menetapkan harga dasar gabah yang harus dijamin pemerintah.

Dengan begitu, harga gabah dapat menguntungkan dan merangsang produksi para petani. Selain itu, hal tersebut dapat melindungi konsumen pada saat-saat stok beras di masyarakat menipis.

Selain itu, perlu ada ketetapan harga atas (selling price) beras yang tidak boleh terlampaui. Pada saat yang sama, perlu lebih diwaspadai kemungkinan masuknya beras ilegal yang mendompleng impor resmi. Selama ini, pendomplengan beras impor terjadi karena adanya izin kepada swasta untuk mengimpor beras kualitas khusus, biasanya kualitas super. Dalam melakukan OP, agar efektif, Bulog harus melalui lembaga RT/RW. Mengingat pengawasan stok yang dimiliki Bulog sangat terbatas dan beras tersebut jangan sampai jatuh ke tangan pedagang. ***

The Hole In THe Reverse Funnel System Found!

It was quite by accident I found the hole. Creators Ty Coughlin and Don Granville are aware, but what are they doing about it remains to be seen. If you are reading this article it’s because you have been researching Global Resorts Network's newest marketing system founded by Ty Coughlin. And that’s how I found the Hole! I have been a Platinum Member for a few months now as well as using the GRN BizBuilder system. About 6 weeks ago, I noticed in BizBuilder a subscription form for the Reverse Funnel System, but there was no information about what it was.

So, I sent a support request asking the question. I received no response. Then, I “Googled” it. The first link I came across went directly to the Ty’s Splash Page. I signed in, went through to the order page and decided “I didn’t need another business opportunity”. I currently market 6 online businesses. I believe Global Resorts Network is the best valued product for your money on the internet today. Then last week I was in my back office of GRN and was going through some of the recent post from members. One post led me to the WAHM.com message board.

There I found a thread about the Reverse Funnel System. I read with a skeptics’ eye and was just amazed at the claims that were being made. Conversions at 35%? Prospects just going straight thru the system and joining without so much as a single phone call or email? At The Platinum Level??? Unbelievable! The philosophy between LMG and RFS is the same. We believe this is a paradigm shift in the industry. You can understand why I would be so attracted to the RFS.

However, I haven't able to get people to join at ANY level, let alone the Platinum Level of GRN without having to talk to them. I worked hard for my downline. I had a little trouble swallowing that this New Marketing System was really able to accomplish that. But I went back to Google and did my due diligence. Everybody said the same thing about this system. People were joining left and right. No calls, no emails. It truly appeared to be the first automated system. I still wasn’t ready to jump. I needed to think. I needed to know more. It just sounded to good to be true.

The next day, on a different mission, I was on the phone with my lead company for GRN because the link to order the leads had mysteriously disappeared. I asked the question, “What happened to the link?” The response was: “Julie, you haven’t heard?! Ever since this Reverse Funnel System hit we have been flooded! This thing is unbelievable. I never have seen anything like it! I had to take down the link for a couple of weeks to catch up. I don’t want my customers having to wait more than 10 days for their order to begin.” Well, needles to say, I was amazed. I asked him if he could take the time to explain this system to me as he understood it. He went on for the next 20 minutes or so and the excitement and passion that came from him was infectious about this system.

He even went so far as to state that Guru’s like Dani Johnson were going to be dinosaurs because of this system. Mind you, I had just returned from Dani Johnson’s 1st Steps To Success seminar in August in Atlanta, Georgia and am booked for her Creating A Dynasty seminar in early December in LA. To me, that was a pretty powerful statement. When someone truly believes in something they can’t hide it when talking about it. His closing sentence to me was: “just get in and drive traffic to that site any way you can”. About now, you are probably wondering about “I thought this article was about a hole In the system.” She sounds like she promoting it." Bear with me. I am getting there.

So now I was ready to jump. But how? I already belonged to GRN. I remembered the link in my GRN Biz Builder system. I went back, clicked: activate my subscription, and paid my $299.00 (actually it was only $265.00 as your biz builder subscription is included in the $299.00 and I had already paid that for the month.) Bingo! My system added the RFS website pages and flipped to the RFS system. Cool, I was in! This all happened late night Thursday September 6, 2007. But herein lies the hole. I checked my email. I was expecting a welcome letter…a Here’s the next step letter… Here’s the information to our Co-op advertising. Something????? Nothing. Hmm... Strange. Ok, I thought; let me start driving some traffic at least. I’ll probably hear something soon. And they have training calls I am sure to find out more then.

I have been in this business long enough to know, it is all about driving traffic to your site. Friday and Saturday, I sent my new RFS url to my current opt-in list, to as many free sites as I could think of such as Classifieds and FFAnet sites, Traffic Swarm & Traffic Surge. I also set up some banner ads and a solo ad that won’t start until later this week. Sunday, I started a Google PPC campaign. I am not a big fan of PPC as it can make you go broke really quick, but since my lead source wouldn’t be available until next week, I wanted to do something right away. I personally do a lot a free classified advertising. I typically get 1 opt-in a day. I got 8 in less than 8 hours! Within 48 hours and less than $12.00 spent in PPC, my conversion rate from unique hits to leads was 38%. This is unheard of in the industry. By now it was late Saturday and I realized that no welcome email was forthcoming. There was a glitch. I did some research, made some phone calls and came to the conclusion I have no upline for RFS.

Therefore, I have no access to the Co-Op Advertising or Ad Packs or any advice from a mentor on what has worked for them with this system. It appears Ty Coughlin and Don the creator are aware of this "hole” for those of us that already belong to GRN and GRN BizBuilder prior to RFS. I don’t know if there is a resolution. At the time of writing of this article, in a message from Ty, he has turned this over to Don the creator, to deal with. I am currently waiting for my contact to hear back from Don.

He was sent an email message last night. Monday night was also the first night I was able to attend a live training call for new members that Ty and Don host. I was hoping to pick up some more information; unfortunately the conference call went down within moments of Ty coming onto the line to begin the call. Next call is tonight. In the meantime, the leads keeping coming in and my conversion rate is still at 38% and above! Stay tuned and I will write a follow up to this in a few days. ***

I Absolutely Love To Work For Myself!!

I absolutely love working for myself ! It is lonely at times, and it takes discipline, however what could be better! I drink coffee when I want, eat when I want, throw in a load of laundry when I want, take the dog out, make a call, surf the net.. all when I want! The greatest part of working for yourself is not having anyone looking over your shoulder. I have had the craziest, zaniest, unstable bosses in my work history. It had been so bad at one time that I actually thought that I was going totally one hundred percent crazy! It was not a great time in my life to say the least! Right now I work from home one hundred percent of the time.

I technically have two home-based businesses. I work as a piano teacher for about 30 hours a week. This is hard labor because I work harder than the children at times! The great part of this, however is that I get paid tuition by the month, regardless of whether the children show up or not! I have the benefit of a salaried pay structure, even though it is my own business. I also get about 5 weeks of vacation and 4 day per week summers.

Overall, this is a pretty good deal and I am certainly not complaining! I also work in internet marketing. I call myself an experienced newbie because I spend several hours a day learning about this very exciting field! I sell two different wealth generating programs as well as various affiliate programs. I am having so much fun learning, and I feel like my learning curve is huge at this time! I am excited, challenged, and highly motivated in what I am doing. I will not say that I do not get frustrated at times, because I do.

This is a tough business! Overall, I do love to work at home and I make a pretty nice living doing so! I try to get to the gym and go outside of the house to meet people so I do not get too lonely. I do not believe that I could ever work for anyone else again! ***

Kiat diTengah Kenaikan Harga Minyak Goreng

Kiat IRT di Tengah Kenaikan Harga Minyak Goreng
Terpaksa Mengirit, Lebih Sering Merebus
Kenaikan harga sejumlah bahan keperluan pokok salah satunya minyak goreng, membuat para Ibu Rumah Tangga (IRT) harus pandai-pandai mengelola belanja dapur. Sebagian di antaranya memilih mengirit dengan menggunakan minyak goreng yang sama sampai menghitam, dan ada pula yang memilih memasak makanan tanpa menggunakan minyak goreng.

Laporan KARTINI FATTACH, Kota kartini-fattach@riaupos.co.id
AKSI pengiritan terpaksa diterapkan Dina (27 tahun), IRT yang menetap di Jalan Mekarsari, Bukitraya. Kepada Riau Pos, Rabu (8/8), Dina mengaku mengatasi kenaikan harga sembako, semisal minyak goreng, dirinya jarang masak dengan di goreng.

‘’Saya lebih banyak memasak makanan yang direbus atau menggunakan santan. Kadang untuk minyak goreng yang sudah dipakai, masih dipakai lagi secara berulang-ulang. Kalau sudah menghitam baru dibuang,’’ aku Dina. Diungkapkan pula, tiga hari lalu dirinya membeli minyak goreng di pasar seharga Rp8.500 per kg. Harga ini sudah mengalami kenaikan dari sebelumnya.

Dina berharap, pemerintah segera menyikapi kenaikan harga sembako berupa minyak goreng, telor dan terigu ini, supaya masyarakat jangan terlalu berat dalam memenuhi keperluan hidup. Dikhawatirkan pula, pada bulan puasa nanti, harga Sembako kian naik. Padahal saat puasa sangat banyak keperluan Sembako yang harus dibeli. Perhatian pemerintah ini harap Dina, semisal dengan menggelar operasi pasar Sembako murah di tingkat RW, seperti yang digelar saat Ulang Tahun Kota Pekanbaru beberapa waktu lalu.

‘’Ketika Ulang Tahun Kota Pekanbaru lalu, ada penjualan sembako murah, tapi untuk Ulang Tahun Riau belum ada terdengar. Kita berharap momen ini juga digunakan pemerintah untuk membantu rakyat,’’ ungkap Dina. Kenaikan sejumlah sembako ini juga membuat pemilik warung terpaksa menaikkan harga jual barang-barang tersebut. ‘’Menjelang bulan puasa ini, harga sembako memang banyak yang naik, itu sudah biasa, apalagi nanti setelah puasa akan bertambah naik harganya. Karena harga di pasar naik, maka kami pemilik warung juga harus menaikkan harga jual ke warga,’’ ungkap Mama Rino pemilik warung di Jalan Beringin Perumahan Beringin Indah.

Mama Rino menambahkan, dirinya menjual minyak goreng seharga Rp9.500 per kilogram. Sementara gula pasir dijual seharga Rp6.000 per kilogram, telur ayam pun naik dari Rp600-Rp650 sekarang dijual dengan harga Rp700 per butir. Kenaikan sembako juga membuat pemilik usaha kecil kian terhimpit. Adalah Iin (32), pemilik usaha kecil kerupuk ini juga mengeluhkan adanya kenaikan minyak goreng dan tepung. Usaha kerupuk yang dijalani Iin yang terletak di jalan Inpres membuatnya bingung untuk menaikkan harga pasaran kerupuk yang biasa dijual seharga Rp200. Mengatasi ini Iin terpaksa mengakali dengan membuat ukuran lebih kecil dari biasanya, dengan harga tetap sama.

‘’Susah untuk menaikkan harga kerupuk, nanti takutnya tidak laku. Tepung tapioka naiknya sudah tiga persen, ditambah lagi kenaikan minyak goreng. Jadilah sekarang penghasilan hanya cukup untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari dan membeli bahan kerupuk,’’ keluh Iin. ***

Wanna Be A Successful Internet Marketer? Reality Check!

The fruits of a successful Internet marketer are very tempting to a newbie in Internet marketing. The dream of making money while sleeping or relaxing by the pool and beach sure conjure up a tempting picture! And the image of cash pouring in at the push of a few buttons cooked up by some Internet marketers just increases the excitement felt by Internet marketing newbies.

The statistics on sales made online sure makes that a definite possibility. According to figures given by PC Magazine, in UK alone, web sales in 2007 rose 29% to a staggering £130 billion! Now, who wouldn't want a slice of that online pie? Even if its a teeny weeny slice! At Internet marketing seminars like World Internet Summit, you can commonly hear the Internet marketing experts say, "As long as you know how to send email, you can be Internet marketer!" But is it really possible to make your fortune from the Internet? Sure, its certainly possible to make piles of cash from the Internet. It's been proven before. But then again, is it really that simple? Certainly...for some people.

People with the right aptitude and mindset do make fortunes online. But for the majority, a huge, overwhelming majority I suspect, making enough money online to quit their day-time job remains a pipe dream. Many new Internet marketers want to make it big but don't have a clear idea how to go about it. So they buy coaching programs from "gurus", hopefully to short cut the learning curve. But many "gurus'" coaching programs are not of the quality they claimed to be. Even if they are, newbies are not guaranteed success.

Even as the coaching programs' quality is important in contributing to a newbie's success, just as important if not more so, is each individual's mindset and aptitude. Even with the best Internet marketing coaching program, if the newbie is not prepared mentally and physically to take action to implement it, he or she will not succeed. If he or she is not prepared to put in the hours to go through the program, he or she is better off saving the expensive fees, steering clear of such coaching programs.
Some people buy such programs after being shown how good they are, hoping that the programs will somehow transform their lives. The successful Internet marketers are some of the most hardworking people despite what some claimed. If the newbie is not mentally prepared to dig in the trenches and do the required work or wants success bad enough to do whatever it takes, its best to stick to their day jobs.

Sure, they can outsource the tedious work but not everything can be outsourced. So what does it take to be a successful Internet marketer?
7 traits of a successful Internet marketer, in no particular order:

1. An entrepreneurial spirit
2. A can-do, never-quit attitude and does whatever it takes to make things happen
3. A marketing expert and be innovative in marketing techniques
4. Internet & technically savvy (not an absolute must but it sure cuts your learning curve)
5. Ability to focus on what's important, one at a time in terms of priority
6. Integrity as a good business person. Building trust relationships successfully is huge, huge factor in Internet marketing
7. Be well-informed about the current and effective marketing techniques and ability to apply them quickly. This also means willingness and ability to learn and apply new stuff (techniques and technology) If you have all 7 traits, GREAT! If not, you can still succeed if you have some of them. If you are unwilling or unable to find time to take action to learn the ropes of internet marketing AND implement the knowledge you've acquired, don't sign up for the "guru's" coaching program! Don't fool yourself into thinking that just by purchasing the program, you will somehow succeed in creating a passive income stream.***

Why it’s a BAD Idea to Promote Hot Selling Products on eBay

Do a quick search on Google, Yahoo, or your favorite auction resource site, and you'll quickly discover there are several software programs targeted to vendors who want to promote hot selling products on eBay. The infatuation with hot selling products exists because sellers believe if you target items that have a robust sales pattern, you'll have a better chance at profiting on eBay.

This is both true and false. Yes... hot selling products can improve your bottom line. But unfortunately by the time the average eBay seller
(a) realizes what the hot selling products are,
(b) purchases stock to sell on eBay, and
(c) actually puts the items up for sale, the demand is already being met by other eBay sellers who probably started the hot selling product trend some time ago.

Not only that, with thousands of people also having access to the same hot selling product lists, you'll have to contend with other eBay vendors who have the exact same ideas that you do. So you'll be up against the original sellers who are currently feeding the demand, AND doing the tango with newer sellers who have jumped on the same hot selling product bandwagon that you did. Okay maybe this won't happen to you. But suppose it does.

What if competition becomes so great that prices start dipping below the wholesale cost that you paid for the item? (It happens all the time on eBay.) And what if you lose $100, $200, or even $1,000 on inventory that you thought would be flying off the shelf? Suddenly that hot selling item is looking rather cold sitting in your garage collecting dust. So if not hot selling products on eBay, then what? Do what the majority of PowerSellers do. Sell what you want, instead of what's hot. Repeat after me, "Every day ordinary items sell extremely well on eBay... Every day ordinary items sell extremely well on eBay... Every day ordinary items sell extremely well on eBay."

Allow this to become your mantra, because it is very much true. I know this from first-hand experience as I analyze top sellers instead of hot products. And my research has continuously shown me that mediocre products don't necessarily translate into mediocre sales. For instance, there's a seller right now who clears about $1,000-$2,000 a week selling magnets. And that's AFTER eBay and PayPal fee's. Another seller promotes homemade CD's to a specific audience and clears $900-$2,000 a week. A few sellers make $500-$700+ a week - after expenses - promoting public domain information. And the cool thing about public domain information is that anybody can sell it because it's free. So that's pure profit by selling something they never paid for. Talk about the ultimate arbitrage opportunity!

The ultimate key in succeeding no matter what product you end up selling, is to build a successful strategy. To figure out 'how' to profitably market what you have, instead of chasing after the next great thing. Because once you have the strategy part down, you can sell anything on eBay and make it a hot seller to your bank account. ***

Malaysia Krisis Harga Minyak Goreng

Malaysia Krisis Minyak Goreng
Hilangnya pasokan minyak goreng di pasaran belakangan ini membuat Pemerintah Malaysia angkat bicara. Menteri Perusahaan Perladangan dan Komoditi, Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui mengatakan pihaknya tengah mempelajari tentang hilangnya minyak goreng di pasaran, khususnya kemasan satu kilogram. Diingatkan pula, kendati demikian para penjual dilarang menaikkan harga jual minyak goreng dengan dalih naiknya harga minyak sawit sebagai bahan baku. Sebab, Pemerintah Malaysia sudah menyubsidi harga tersebut agar para produsen minyak goreng tidak sampai rugi dan tetap mendapatkan keuntungan.

Siapa saja yang menaikkan harga minyak goreng sesukanya dapat ditindak berdasarkan undang-undang yang ada. Tidak ada alasan bagi produsen menaikkan harga jual meskipun dengan alasan harga bahan baku sedang naik,’’ kata Peter Chin Fah Kui. Dikatakannya, minyak goreng adalah salah satu yang terdapat dalam senarai produk komoditi yang penjualannya dikawal pemerintah. Krisis kekurangan pasokan minyak goreng dalam kemasan satu kilogram ini semakin mengkhawatirkan ketika sejumlah negeri di Malaysia turut melaporkan hal yang sama. Terengganu, Selangor, Perak, Pahang, Johor, Perlis dan Sarawak dinyatakan sebagai daerah yang dilanda krisis minyak goreng.

Utusan Malaysia hari ini menurunkan laporan krisis minyak goreng sebagai kepala berita di halaman depan. “Ke mana Menghilang?”, demikian judul besar yang tertera di harian nasional tersebut. Sementara Berita Harian pada halaman depannya menulis “Harga Jual Minyak Goreng Dikawal”.

Kekurangan pasokan minyak goreng paket ini dikatakan sebagai akibat dari ulah pihak-pihak yang bertindak sebagai penyalur sebelum sampai ke masyarakat. Mereka menahan pasokan minyak ke pasaran dengan dalih harga di pasaran sedang tinggi. Tindakan seperti ini menurut Menteri Peter Chin Fah Kui yang bakal membuat harga minyak menjadi lebih tinggi lagi.

Dari pantauan Riau Pos di beberapa kedai di wilayah Kajang dan Bangi, Selangor, kelangkaan minyak goreng juga juga menjadi topik pembicaraan para pemilik toko. Menurutnya, mereka kelangkaan ini bersumber dari pasokan distributor, bukan mereka yang menyimpan minyak goreng tersebut. “Kami tidak mungkin menyimpannya karena kalau ketahuan pihak berkuasa (pemerinta, red) urusannya jadi besar. Kalau ada barang ya dijual, kalau tak ada ya beginilah,’’ kata Usman, penjaga salah satu toko harian yang terdapat di Kajang.

Namun menurutnya kelangkaan juga terjadi karena ada pihak toko yang enggan menjual minyak karena untungnya sangat tipis. Pihak distributor meletakkan dengan harga yang lebih tinggi dari biasanya, sementara kalau dijual di pasaran tidak boleh lebih dari harga yang sudah ditetapkan.
“Untungnya sangat tipis jadinya, hanya sekitar 40 sampai 60 sen untuk setiap kotak. Di dalam satu kotak biasanya ada 20 bungkus. Harga patokan pemerintah untuk satu bungkus minyak goreng kiloan adalah 2,5 ringgit. ***

Do We Need A Coach As We Begin Our New Work From Home Internet Business?

When I began my internet marketing business some months back, I felt like a babe lost in the woods. I had invested quite a bit of money at the beginning and I was eager, determined, and impatient as I worked very hard to earn it back. I stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning as I surfed and navigated the internet.. desperate to make the money back that I had spent. Needless to say, I had jumped head first into internet marketing very impulsively, with little support and guidance with an incredibly guilty feeling that I may have actually thrown my money down the toilet bowl.

I was lost, confused, eager, excited, and exhausted. Most of all, I needed some guidance to get me through the initial phases because I was wasting a whole lot of time doing nothing. I did not understand the basics of internet marketing, and some of the advice I was getting was misguided and plain wrong. Lastly, when I would call my "sponsors", much of the time I felt like I was bothering them. I cannot describe how it feels when you are actually irritating or annoying the person who is supposed to be helping you after you spent thousands of dollars in your internet marketing home based business. So... Do we actually need a coach as we begin our new internet marketing business?

My answer to this question is yes... we do need a coach as we begin our business and start to work from home in an attempt to make money online. We cannot run a home based business without good solid support or guidance, because chances are that we will actually fail or give up. The statistics are very bad when over 95 percent of home based businesses fail. As I stated in previous articles, I believe that most people give up due to lack of support or in their belief that they will get rich quick without any work on their part. If we are not careful we can seriously go astray in our online marketing business as we market our program or service using ineffective methods.

We can also go broke using expensive, even fraudulent advertising methods which do not work. Internet marketing newbies can be very vulnerable to predatory people online who are just there to take your money by playing up on your fears. So yes... an internet marketing coach can help guide you in the right direction so you can succeed as you work from home. You can make excellent money online with the right program and the right guidance. ***

A Website Model That Makes Money

I would like to share with you one simple strategy in creating income with your own website. This is just one method out of simply millions that you could create for yourself. Remember the internet provides no limits. This is one example that does work for me, and may give you an insight into exactly a website model, that you may like to put into action for yourself. Affiliate marketing and/or sales of any kind on the internet, requires a real commitment, as I am sure you do already realize.

The internet is really one of the greatest training grounds in the world for sales. You can try and fail many times, until you find that system and approach that will work for you. But the commitment that you show in meeting this challenge will be a lesson that you will always remember. Success is always achieved in no matter what you do, through simple hard work. There is no easy path to success, but when you achieve the success you are after, there is no greater feeling. So lets begin. In this example my website, which for the purposes of this article i will call '????'. I will give you the exact profit breakdowns. With this website I treat all my affiliate products as purely residual income, much like adsense.

Adsense itself generates for me, on this website, on average around $2 per day. I also use various other companies affiliate products, which generate around $200 per month. Also within the website, I sell e-book informational products, which I own the full resale rights for, which generate around $700 per month. And here lies the answer to making money online, no matter what you sell. The products, that generate the most income, are the ones that you will own yourself. Certainly I should be making more from the affiliate info products that I sell. But I lose commissions through simple affiliate url tampering. Commissions that are stolen or lost are a real pain. You can try every method in the book to protect your affiliate codes. But after all the hard work is done, you still lose that valuable income.

The people who sell the original affiliate product know this, which is mostly why a high percentage of the sales price is offered to an affiliate to begin with. Because they realize that a very high ratio of sales made on their products will give them the total profit back. The reasons why people change affiliate product codes etc, could run into pages. Let’s just say it is inevitable. This is the reason why I treat all my affiliate based products as purely residual income. But as you can see in this example clearly where the highest return on investment lies. And that is in the products that you actually own.

You can purchase resale rights for info products easily, and it involves not much money at all, most products are available for under $50. Or if you have the time and patience to search the internet. You can find amazing e-books that have free resell rights and the information they contain is really valuable. You will find these types of treasures occasionally, and the lights will start flashing in your eyes when you do. The information that you have just discovered is of value and that is a real key to success. This is why I, at this point, strongly emphasize the importance of this one principle. Only sell products that you feel strongly about and you know that will be of great value to the person who may purchase it.

That includes products you have bought the resale rights for, or a free product, you have discovered with resale rights. If you sell strong products with real informational value consistently you will always succeed. Your customers will return, quite simply because they know where the value of the information they seek is the greatest. And that is at your website. Always remember to put yourself into your visitors shoes. Ask yourself the question? Would you buy the products you are selling? Answer this question with a Yes. And you will be really on the start too online success. ***

Wanna Be A Successful Internet Marketer? Reality Check!

The fruits of a successful Internet marketer are very tempting to a newbie in Internet marketing. The dream of making money while sleeping or relaxing by the pool and beach sure conjure up a tempting picture! And the image of cash pouring in at the push of a few buttons cooked up by some Internet marketers just increases the excitement felt by Internet marketing newbies.

The statistics on sales made online sure makes that a definite possibility. According to figures given by PC Magazine, in UK alone, web sales in 2007 rose 29% to a staggering £130 billion! Now, who wouldn't want a slice of that online pie? Even if its a teeny weeny slice! At Internet marketing seminars like World Internet Summit, you can commonly hear the Internet marketing experts say, "As long as you know how to send email, you can be Internet marketer!" But is it really possible to make your fortune from the Internet? Sure, its certainly possible to make piles of cash from the Internet. It's been proven before. But then again, is it really that simple? Certainly...for some people.

People with the right aptitude and mindset do make fortunes online. But for the majority, a huge, overwhelming majority I suspect, making enough money online to quit their day-time job remains a pipe dream. Many new Internet marketers want to make it big but don't have a clear idea how to go about it. So they buy coaching programs from "gurus", hopefully to short cut the learning curve. But many "gurus'" coaching programs are not of the quality they claimed to be. Even if they are, newbies are not guaranteed success. Even as the coaching programs' quality is important in contributing to a newbie's success, just as important if not more so, is each individual's mindset and aptitude. Even with the best Internet marketing coaching program, if the newbie is not prepared mentally and physically to take action to implement it, he or she will not succeed. If he or she is not prepared to put in the hours to go through the program, he or she is better off saving the expensive fees, steering clear of such coaching programs.

Some people buy such programs after being shown how good they are, hoping that the programs will somehow transform their lives. The successful Internet marketers are some of the most hardworking people despite what some claimed. If the newbie is not mentally prepared to dig in the trenches and do the required work or wants success bad enough to do whatever it takes, its best to stick to their day jobs. Sure, they can outsource the tedious work but not everything can be outsourced.

So what does it take to be a successful Internet marketer? 7 traits of a successful Internet marketer, in no particular order:
1. An entrepreneurial spirit
2. A can-do, never-quit attitude and does whatever it takes to make things happen
3. A marketing expert and be innovative in marketing techniques
4. Internet & technically savvy (not an absolute must but it sure cuts your learning curve)
5. Ability to focus on what's important, one at a time in terms of priority
6. Integrity as a good business person. Building trust relationships successfully is huge, huge factor in Internet marketing
7. Be well-informed about the current and effective marketing techniques and ability to apply them quickly. This also means willingness and ability to learn and apply new stuff (techniques and technology) If you have all 7 traits, GREAT! If not, you can still succeed if you have some of them. If you are unwilling or unable to find time to take action to learn the ropes of internet marketing AND implement the knowledge you've acquired, don't sign up for the "guru's" coaching program!

Don't fool yourself into thinking that just by purchasing the program, you will somehow succeed in creating a passive income stream. ***

Harga Sembako Terus Naik

Harga Sembako Terus Naik
KOTA (RP) — Ibu-ibu rumah tangga menjerit. Harga barang-barang keperluan pokok terus merangkak naik. Minyak goreng yang diharapkan kembali ke harga normal yaitu Rp6.800 per kilogram, malah terus melambung dan hampir mencapai Rp9.000 per kilogram.

Salah seorang pedagang di Pasar Cik Puan, Yus (48), mengeluhkan kepada Riau Pos, Rabu (8/7), bahwa saat ini berdagang lebih sulit bila dibandingkan masa sebelumnya. Alasannya, harga barang tidak jelas kapan naiknya. ‘’Minyak misalnya, sekarang sudah mencapai harga Rp.8500-Rp.8700/Kilogram dari harga sebelumnya Rp.8000-Rp.8300. Dari kenaikan tersebut, pengecer di rumah tentu menjual hingga Rp.9000/Kilogram. Kita jual sesuai dengan modal yang kita ambil. Jika modalnya naik, tentu kita jual naik. Tentang kenaikan itu sendiri, tambah Yus, secara pasti tidak diketahuinya. Tapi menurutnya, sejak adanya operasi pasar dua bulan yang lalu, harga minyak goreng memang tidak stabil. ‘’Dari agen mengatakan kenaikan karena harga sawit yang tinggi. Itu saja yang kita dengar,’’ jelasnya sambil terus melayani pembeli. Sementara menurut salah seorang pedagang di Pasar Pagi Arengka, Toko Rahmat, Ida (52) mengatakan bahwa selain minyak goreng dan gula pasir juga mengalami kenaikan tepung terigu dan kacang tanah.

Kacang tanah yang sebelumnya dijual dengan harga Rp.10.000 - Rp.11.000/Kilo sejak sebulan yang lalu sudah naik menjadi Rp12.000 - Rp12.500/Kg. ‘’Untuk terigu kemarin sempat menghilang beberapa saat dari pasaran, pas keluar lagi tiba-tiba saja sudah naik hingga Rp1.000/Kg,’’celoteh Ida.

Dodi (30), pedagang Pasar pagi Arengka lainnya mengatakan susukaleng yang sebelumnya naik kini makin melonjak, sehingga dari harga sebelumnya mencapai kenaikan sebesar 70 persen, jadi ada yang mencapai harga Rp.7000/Kilo. Pedagang yang sudah dua kali mengalami kebakaran di Pasar Cik Puan ini juga menjelaskan tentang kenaikan harga gula pasir sekarang sudah mencapai Rp.320.000/karung dari Rp305.000/karungnya. Jadi gula pasir sekarang ini dijual Rp. 6.800/kilogram.

Kadisperindag Pekanbaru, Suradji SH menyebutkan bahwa mereka tidak bisa menekan distributor dalam mengontrol kenaikan harga barang. Dikatakannya kepada Riau Pos, Rabu (8/7), bahwa Disperindag hanya bisa memantau harga di pasaran atau mengimbau kepada para distributor dan pedagang agar tidak menaikkan harga jika tidak ada alasan yang kuat.

Tim Disperindag secara berkala terus memantau kenaikan harga. Katanya, distributor atau para pedaganga diminta agar tidak berspekulasi dan didalam menaikkan harga harus jelas alasannya. ‘’Kita hanya bisa menghimbau dan berharap kepada para distributor dan pedagang, supaya setiap kenaikan barang yang dilakukan mereka, disertai dengan alasan yang jelas dan logis. Misalnya kenaikan disebabkan naiknya harga BBM, karena bencana alam, atau sulitnya mendapat bahan tersebut. Tapi kalau tidak alasan yang jelas, diminta supaya tidak menaikkannya,’’ tuturnya.

10 Things Every Home Based Business Owner Needs

When you make the decision to earn income from the internet you will need to go through a set up process to be ready for business. Following are the basic steps in setting up for home business success.

1. Attitude The key to your business success is your attitude. Treat your business like a business. This is critical whether you are working part-time or full-time. One of my colleagues is a mother who works from home around her family. She has always put her family first whilst at the same time developing her business. She says, "I work part-time, but I have a full-time attitude." Put another way, "If you have a hobby attitude you will have a hobby income, if you have a business attitude you will have a business income." You can be successful working part-time and you can be successful working full-time but it is highly unlikely that you will be successful working in your "spare time".

2. Working Environment A space that you can call your own, free from distractions for your scheduled time. A comfortable chair and organized desk. Stationery supplies as required. For example: - pens - highlighters - stapler - hole punch - sticky tape - note book(s) - a simple filing system - ring binders - manila folders Consider the value of a broadband connection. Your time is valuable and a broadband connection can allow you to get more done in a given time frame.

3. Schedule Develop a schedule that works for you, your family (or "significant others") and your business. When you allot a block of time for work then use that time for work. Equally important is to schedule time for your other commitments - family time, self education (reading, listening and viewing), "health time" (exercise, cooking and eating), and leisure time. During these other times don't work. After all if one of the reasons to work from home is to spend more time with your family then you don't want your working at home time to consume your family time.

You are working for yourself and your schedule (by your choice) is your "boss". When you have people calling you or dropping around unexpectedly or maybe out-of-town visitors may want to catch up with you then you need to make a choice. Are you committed to your own business success? What will be your choice in these situations? Only you can decide what is important to you. In a family environment you may need to negotiate with your partner and children to have your business time agreed upon, during which you will not be interrupted. Put this schedule prominently somewhere so all family members are aware of your work schedule.

4. Describe Your Business Be able to describe your business concisely; a powerful one or two sentence description that someone can repeat in describing your business to others. A unique and memorable tag line can also be invaluable for promoting your business.

5. Know you’re Product or Service Once you have selected your product or service to sell, it may or may not be something that you use yourself but you need to know your product intimately. If you are selling e-books then know the content and its value. If you are selling software then use it knows it "inside out". You will develop a reputation of providing quality information and because of your product knowledge you can become the preferred supplier. It is not practical to use certain products (for example a woman may choose to sell man's shoes or vice versa) in which case the seller won't be a product user, however the seller can still know the benefits and features of the product intimately.

6. Administration Use good record keeping practices. This may involve a consultation with a tax advisor who can let you know about the optimal way to set up your financial records and what records need to be kept. Your advisor will also recommend record keeping systems and you can find out what software may simplify this aspect of your business. Additionally your obtain advice on the best arrangement for your bank accounts. You will most likely be advised to have a separate bank account. You will also need to keep track of your various logins, usernames and passwords. A very handy little software tool for this is Treepad available as either the free Lite version (without password protection) or the commercial Plus or Biz versions. http://www.treepad.com There is other useful tools for this also from a simple paper notebook to free and commercial password keepers. One popular solution is Roboform that will remember your login details and can automatically fill out your login and other registration forms. http://www.roboform.com

7. Computer Protection Your computer is the lifeline to your business dealings and must be protected including the data that is stored. You need a virus scanner, personal firewall, anti-spyware and anti-adware and preferably an email scanner with the ability to delete suspect of spam email from the server before it is downloaded to your computer. Some suggestions are: AVG Anti-Virus: http://www.grisoft.com Spybot S&D: http://www.safer-networking.org Microsoft Anti-Spyware: www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx Adaware: http://www.lavasoft.com/ Mailwasher Email Scanner: http://www.mailwasher.net

8. A Domain Name You wills most likely need a domain name for your business and one cost effective registrar is GoDaddy, http://www.godaddy.com.

9. Payment Processing You will need a way to process credit cards; that may be using services such as: - PayPal https://www.paypal.com - Storm Pay http://www.stormpay.com - 2 Checkout http://www.2checkout.com - Clickbank http://www.clickbank.com or others. This is the most economical way to get started. Once your business picks up you may need to look into your own merchant account for credit card transactions. Consideration may also be given to other forms of online currency such as eGold http://www.egold.com

10. Email accounts Once you have your own domain you can use an associated email account. This can further assist in the promotion of your business and promotes a more professional business image. As a final comment on continuing in your internet business, conduct your business ethically, provide extraordinary service and be proud to put your name to the products or services that you are selling and you will be on track to developing a sustainable long term internet business. ***

Where Does Prospecting Fit In With My Internet Marketing Home Business?

Is it true that people are always looking for something free? I would say that this statement surely has a lot of truth to it. Everything is so expensive nowadays, so why not get something for free if you can! It is my belief that giving away something for free can help you in your internet marketing home based business as an attention grabber. Because there is so much competition on the internet, expecially in internet marketing, we all could use a free prospecting tool to get the attention of a potential customer.

I think the problem, however, with the work "free" is that it may have some negative connotations attached to it. We tend to believe that when something is "free" that it may have a lower value to it, or may potentially be worthless. We also may believe that if something is "free" that there is some kind of hook or catch to it.. and/or that it could be some type of scam. I have been in situations myself where I thought something was free and it truly was over $100! After having one or more experiences like this, we are sure to become jaded over time. How could we not feel that way, after our trust as a consumer was betrayed.

If we are going to offer free incentives in our online marketing business, we must really mean what we say. If something is "free" there should be no more than a nominal cost such as tax or shipping attached to the offer. Sometimes even these added charges can turn people off, even though a small tax or shipping charge is only fair, if a person is being offered a small vacation or an expensive fruit basket! An individual should also NEVER automatically be enrolled in a program after redeeming their offer.

This is big NO NO in the world of free business incentives, even though a lot of big Fortune 500 Companies succumb to this underhanded tactic. In summary, free prospecting tools are great for expanding your home based internet marketing business if used correctly, fairly, and with integrity. I use free prospecting tools myself which are reputable, decent, and enticing and this has helped me to successfully make money online in my home based internet marketing business. ***
