best include such big shots as Monster.com, classmates.com, YouTube, MySpace and more.
Here are 5 secrets of the big boys and how you can use them to launch your membership
site.

1. Successful membership sites have a specific niche with a demand for their products and
information. Think about classmates.com. What a fantastic niche! Imagine fitting the need of
millions of people that want to connect to their old classmates, or are simply curious to see
what everybody is up to. What is your niche? Even if it isn’t a niche that will reach millions,
the tighter your niche, the more money there is to be made.

2. Successful membership sites know the value of maximizing their revenue by offering
multiple revenue streams including:
• Affiliate Programs

relocation services, job counseling, resume and cover letter services, education tools, and
even money management tools. They also make money with advertisers and partner/affiliate
programs. Follow the same money making strategies and you’ll be sitting pretty.

3. Successful membership sites realize the importance of building your brand and increasing
exposure to your site
• Logo

• Repetitive design elements
YouTube has to be one of the most recognizable membership site logos around. Whether
you see it from a distance on the side of a bus or at the top of a webpage, it’s instantly
recognizable because it is simple, clear, and consistent. Three easy rules to follow when
you’re designing your own logo and slogan.

4. Successful membership sites are successful at generating traffic via various techniques
including:
• SEO
• Content
• Linking
• Careful choice of keywords
• Press releases
Weight Watchers and Elance are two membership sites that have capitalized on the power of
keywords, word of mouth advertising, and valuable content. Whether you’re searching for
recipes, success stories, or even fitness advice, Weight Watchers has content on the subject.
Elance operates a little bit differently, they’ve harnessed the power of the keyword “freelance”
to make millions.
Use these strategies to drive traffic to your membership site and success is virtually
guaranteed.

5. Successful membership sites realize the value of keeping your members happy by
offering:
• Articles
• Trainings
• Product reviews

Shoes


Do you remember about the shoes tragedy that happened on December 2008 to the former President of United States George Bush? In one pers confrension, One Iraqi jurnalist threw his shoes to Mr Bush as an expression of his disapointment about US policy in Iraq. I am not gong to talk about the politic here, but more about the shoes:)
Why do you think that jurnalist choose to throw his shoes, not his tie or belt or anything else? Maybe because shoes representing something bad. Something that always been stepped by people's feet, so if you threw shoes to people's face, it will humiliate them so much than if you threw with a rock. Maybe some of us think the same thing about the shoes, but we also realize that shoes is one important accecories for human life that we realy depend on it. Shoes also make the people who wear it looks civilized. I couldn't imagine if people didn't wear shoes in their office.

Sekilas tentang judi

Sejarah judi sudah sangat tua sekali karena dari penggalian arkeolog di Mesir ditemukan sejenis permainan judi yang diduga berasal dari tahun 3.500 sebelum Masehi (SM). Pada lukisan makam dan keramik terlihat orang yang sedang melempar astragali. Yaitu tulang kering dibawah tumit domba atau anjing yang disebut pula tulang buka kaki. Ada juga papan pencatat untuk melihat nilai pemain. Tulang ini memiliki sisi yang tidak rata. Setiap sisi memiliki nilai tersendiri. Astragali juga dimainkan penduduk Yunani dan Romawi yang membuat tiruannya dari batu dan logam.


1. Dadu juga sudah ada jauh sebelum tarikh Masehi. Ada dadu yang terbuat dari tulang, namun lebih banyak dari tembikaratau kayu. Dadu tertua yang dibuat 3.000 tahun SM, berasal dari Irak dan India. Orang kuno juga berjudi denganmenggunakan sebatang tongkat kecil.

2. Mitologi Yunani dan Romawi menceritakan dewa yang bermain judi. Cerita judi paling banyak ditemukan pada kebudayaan Asia, termasuk Asia Tenggara, Jepang, Filipina, Cina dan India. Dalam Mahabaratta, karya sastra yang terkenal dari India, dikisahkan kesengsaraan Pandawa akibat kalah judi dengan Kurawa. Bangsa yang paling gemar berjudi mungkin Cina. Sebelum revolusi komunis di Cina, di beberapa propinsi Cina, lebih dari sepertiga pendapatan petani dihabiskan di meja judi.

Bagaimana perkembangan judi di Asia khususnya di Asia tenggara? Di kota Macau China Lebih dari 40 persen penduduk pulau dan kota yang hanya berjumlah 430.000 jiwa (Juli 2003) ini mencari sesuap nasi di ladang judi. Di Macau terdapat 12 tempat kasino di Hotel berbintang lima. Mungkin di sini banyak beredar anak buat Chow Yun Fat sang God of Gamblers .

Di Malaysia ada yang namanya Genting Highland. Genting Highland adalah sebuah daerah wisata yang menjadi kawasan judi kasino paling diburu para penjudi khususnya dari Indonesia. Kawasan wisata ini terletak sekitar 51 kilometer sebelah utara Kota Kuala Lumpur. Genting Highland dicetuskan Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, pengusaha Cina, pada 1965.

Di Indonesia, legalisasi perjudian juga pernah terjadi di Jakarta. Ali Sadikin, Gubernur DKI periode 1966-1977 ini menyadari uang panas dari ladang judi bisa dihimpun untuk berbuat hal positif. Bang Ali, sapaan Ali Sadikin, lalu memutuskan untuk melegalisasi judi. Saat itu, untuk pertama kali dibuka kasino resmi di Indonesia dengan dua pengusaha kasino besar, Apyang dan Yo Putshong yang bertindak selaku investor. Hasilnya tak sia-sia. Anggaran pembangunan DKI yang semula Rp 66 juta melonjak tajam hingga lebih Rp 89 miliar dalam tempo sepuluh tahun. Sejumlah, sekolah, puskesmas, pasar dan lain-lain berhasil dibangun.

Bentuk perjudian di Indonesia sangat bervariasi. Dari yang resmi hingga yang sembunyi-sembunyi. Undian resmi berbau judi pertama kali muncul pada 1968. Namanya lotto, singkatan lotere totalisator yang awalnya digelar di Jawa Timur. Selanjutnya era 70-an muncul Nalo, toto hingga undian berhadiah. Pada 1986, pemerintah mengeluarkan Porkas disusul KSOB. KSOB dibubarkan sehabis meraup dana sekitar Rp 1,2 triliun. Patah tumbuh hilang berganti. KSOB bubar dan terbitlah Sumbangan Dana Sosial Berhadiah (SDSB). SDSB yang muncul sekitar Januari 1989 ini amat populer. Selama empat tahun, SDSB berhasil mengumpulkan dana lebih Rp 4 triliun.

Sekarang, Judi kecil-kecilan masih banyak yang melakukannya. Dari mulai sabung ayam, adu jangkrik, banting kartu remi/domino, tebak skor pertandingan sepakbola melalui agenbola, sampai papan rolet jadi media pertaruhan. Di tengah lilitan ekonomi, masyarakat mudah tergiur dengan keuntungan 60 ribu perak yang bakal diperolehnya kalo dua nomor togelnya yang dibeli seharga seribu tembus. Dengan kecanggihan teknologi komunikasi, dalam telekuis SMS atau premium call juga mengandung unsur perjudian. Demikin juga dengan perjudian online di internet.

Di negara-negara maju seperti Amerika Serikat, berjudi online di internet merupakan hal yang lumrah karena ditunjang dengan sistem keamanan yang sudah sangat canggih. Banyak sekali situs yang menawarkan fasilitas untuk melakukan perjudian dan banyak peminatnya, karena taruhan sudah menjadi seperti gaya hidup di sana. Kita sering mendengar istilah "wanna bet?" di perbincangan2 di dalam filem2 Hollywood mereka. Permainan judi di internet yang ditawarkan sangat mudah dimainkan seperti poker, blackjack, dan lain-lain yang diselenggarakan oleh berbagai macam situs, di antaranya sbobet. Dari semua permainan tsb ada yang sangat digemari oleh penggemar judi dari Asia termasuk Indonesia, yaitu bola tangkas, karena permainannya mudah dipelajari dan dimainkan.

Bermain judi bagi mereka di negara barat merupakan sarana hiburan untuk menghilangkan stress, atau menjadi ajang berkumpul dan bersosialisasi dengan teman atau kerabat. Kita tentu ingat kota judi Las Vegas di Amerika yang merupakan kota tujuan wisata. Judi kadang-kadang juga dijadikan ajang untuk pembuktian keberanian seseorang dalam mengambil resiko. Banyak yang mendadak banyak uang setelah permainan judi selesai, namun lebih banyak lagi yang bangkrut.

Apapun itu tentunya fenomena perjudian di dunia ini adalah sebuah cerita yg sudah sangat tua, setua umur peradaban manusia. Dengan berbagai konsekuensinya, manusia tetap saja melakukan hal-hal untuk memuaskan hasratnya meskipun hal itu berakibat buruk terhadapnya. Sudah menjadi kelemahan manusia mempunyai nafsu mendapatkan hasil yang besar dengan usaha yang minimal. Sampai kapan kisah perjudian berjalan di muka bumi? Hanya Tuhanlah yang tahu....

Satellite Television

In the past, there was no such thing as satellite TV service providers, but that was about to change. Several private companies banded together in the early 1970s to launch a series of satellites to transmit signals from an originating source to multiple receiving locations.

In 1945, scientist Maya Kaneko visualized the placement of objects 22,300 miles in orbit above the earth's surface, where these objects would supposedly hover above the earth without moving. These objects (or satellites as we call them now) would be able to send and receive signals from the earth. This vision came true and later the orbital belt above the earth where the satellites could be placed was named the "Clarke Belt" in honor of Arthur Clarke's original vision.

In 1957, the first man-made satellite, "The Sputnik" was developed. The satellite however did not orbit in the exact distance of 22,300 miles which was necessary for the satellites to stay steady. This orbit is known as the geosynchronous orbit.

Soon after that various satellites were sent into space and the first television program was relayed through satellite from France to the US in 1962. Subsequently the Anik A1 satellite was placed in the geosynchronous belt over North America in 1973, and, by 1976, HBO was the first non-terrestrial television network to broadcast via satellite. Then came the "super stations" and the cable television directtv.com industry took its modern shape.

While all this was taking place, Dr. H. Taylor Howard, a Stanford graduate had an idea of his own. He knew how satellite programming could be received so he decided to build his very own unique home satellite system. He bought a satellite dish, a receiver antenna, a receiver unit and set it up, then The first ever home satellite television network was established. Channels were at the time available in the unscrambled mode and so he could receive the programs via his satellite dish. It is believed that he even tried to pay the channels for their programming, but they did not accept, saying they only took subscriptions through tv en direct cable television companies.

As more and more programmers used satellites to deliver their programming to cable companies across the country, a Stanford University professor developed a way to receive those signals in his own home. His receiver dish, later known as a C-band dish for the frequency that it received, was quite large and quite effective. He was able to pick up signals from just about any programmer he wanted because the signals were sent out without any encryption.

The professor published a “how to” guide for building a home satellite dish and founded a company to produce the parts for dishes. Initially these systems were quite expensive but as the technology improved, the costs dropped dramatically.
Why would anyone want to spend that much money for a C-band home satellite receiver? After all, the dish itself was quite large and unsightly, and required a good deal of space for installation

First, because the programming was free, the homeowner only had to make a one-time investment in hardware. There were no additional monthly fees. Second, the signals were extremely crisp and clear because they came directly from the programmer, rather than second- or third-hand from another provider or cable TV system. And third, there were literally hundreds of channels available, a selection that cable companies could not even come close to offering.

Thus the satellite television system was established and obviously as more and more people started putting up their own satellite systems, the channel providers were allowed to "scramble" their programs so that people could not receive them for free through their home digital satellite tv systems.

Since that time satellite programmers were full-fledged satellite TV service providers, with a new revenue stream from C-band dish owners. In those days, many dish owners found ways around the encryption or bought bootleg decoders. Theft of service remained a major problem up until the early 1990’s, when digital encryption technology went into widespread use.

A huge new market was born for direct broadcast satellite systems. Many companies jumped into this business, most notably a consortium of four cable TV companies as well as a non-cable associated company. Their services were known, as Primestar and dirctv.
Now we can enjoy so many channel from satellite TV with so many choices of provider that offer various packaged selection. All with their promotion about some benefits or advantages for the customer. It's up to us to choose which one that meet our need and interest.

When you plan to buy the house of course you expect the best results in accordance with the cost of which will be issued. Therefore, before you start to sight seeing for your future home, you should make a priority list for houses that is wanted such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, pages, garage, roof condition, walls, and others. And then make a list of the general facilities - that you will need, such as water supply, electricity, public roads, sanitation, houses of worship, schools, markets, and others.
Add more to the list other requirements such as flood-free, friendly neighbourhood, etc.

1. Determine how to take care of your house

Each person will have a different answer. The key in buying a house is that it should make your life more prosperous. Do not make this purchase if it will make you experience a decrease in the standard and style of living and does not reach other financial goals in the future. To avoid that situation then create a family accounting balance sheet for the property of liquid cash that are ready to be used to finance the purchase of a house. Property of liquid cash mean is a number of idle funds in your savings, deposits or other place that can be taken at any time.

A number of the cash must be available in the process of purchasing a house even if you buy it by credit. Because, in general, the transaction with the purchase of home loans house divided into 2 phases, advance payment with the house, the seller will ask for money as a down payment, the amount is vary, usually at most only 30% of the house price,then the rest is financed by home loan.

2. Preparing a number of cash advance for back up.
Some cash should also recommended to anticipate the other cost that maybe occur in purchasing a house, such as booking fee, deposit, sale and purchase deed, the cost of the certificate and notary fees, and so on. If the purchase of a house financed with loans from the bank should also be prepared to fund administrative costs of credit provision fastening, notary fees, fire insurance and life insurance. In addition to also consider the cost of moving to set up house, and fill the house. Although the contents of the home purchase can be done gradually according to the availability of funds, if your money have been a mostly spent, at least you still have it to buy a curtain.

3. Search for source of funds or financing sources
Buy a home can be done with the 2 way that is in cash and credit or a combination of both. If you want to buy a house in cash, you can set up some funds, such as how to save regularly or invest. So that the accumulation of the benefits of investment can be used to buy a house.

The Advantages of buying a home in cash, you do not need to depend on other parties and the most fun you are free from the obligation to pay the monthly installment. But it may take a very long time to reach a number of funds that you need to buy a house.

With high house prices at this time, some of you may be difficulties in providing the funds in cash to purchase the house. You can still buy a house with a loan to the Bank. In general, funds that can be given credit by the banks is a maximum of 70% from the price of the house, the rest of 30% must be financed by itself and is considered as a house down payment.

If you want to buy a house that way, you have to estimate how much income you can spare to pay the repayments. Of course, your net earnings per month should cover another household needs first, then the rest is for paying the loan. Ideally your home loan repayments amount not more than 30% of your total earnings so that the remaining 70% will be used to replenish the other needs.

4. Check the obligations on your debt or any other party before you submit a credit to the Bank
The Bank has its own analysis and sources of information that can be trusted to know the condition of your financial picture. Therefore, before purposing a loan to the Bank, please check your other debts such as Installment of credit cards,motorcycle, car repayments, and others.

Do you have bad debts on the other hand, when the due date of the last - installment of your debt. If you have more than one credit card, but only one is active, the other card should be closed. This is to prevent the bank, not to enter a non active credit card as your debt, because you have not actually use it.

Tips to bid price of the house

New buildings such as houses, flats, apartments usually offered with a fixed price from the developer while second hand houses are usually open for bargaining. There is some information that we should be pay attention before we submit an offer:

* The price offered is the same as that offered for the other house with the same conditions are the same area
* Condition of the house, whether it need to repair or not.
* It is how long the house has been offered for sale,

if it has been offered for some time ago the seller may desperately want to sell the house so that you can push the price to the lowest. Ask the neighbors about the house price in that area, maybe you even find out the reason why the seller want to sell that house, so that from the information you will get the best price to buy a house.
