Minisite Rahsia Publisiti Kini Berfungsi

Seperti kata orang, bukan senang nak senang. Sesungguhnya tepat sekali kata-kata ini. Apatah lagi, jika sesuatu yang kita lakukan itu di luar kemampuan atau kemahiran kita.

Itulah yang terjadi di sebalik kelahiran satu minisite yang mahu dikenali sebagai RahsiaPublisiti.com ini.

Pada awal perancangan, ia sepatutnya berada di alam maya pada 12.12.2009 (cantik tarikh itu). Dan sekali gus sedia menawarkan eBook Rahsia Publisiti Percuma untuk dimuat turun secara percuma kepada pembaca khususnya mereka yang berkecimpung dalam perniagaan, pemasaran, perhubungan awam, keusahawanan atau para pelajar kolej yang berkaitan.

Tetapi disebabkan pelbagai rintangan dan aral yang melintang, akhirnya ia berjaya disiapkan sebulan kemudian. Itu pun dalam keadaaan yang serba kekurangan dan pada awalnya tidak lari daripada masalah teknikal. Ramai yang memberi reaksi spontan eBook yang dimuat turun mempunyai masalah kerosakan fail. Maknanya fail PDF yang dimuat turun tak dapat dibaca langusng. Saiz asal, 2.41MB. Apabila sudah dimuat turun, saiznya menjadi 1.4MB dan gagal dibuka.

Alamak, apa yang boleh aku lakukan? Web master aku sedang bercuti kerana isteri bersalin. Tak kan aku tak berhati perut nak mohon dia abaikan keluarga dan memberi tumpuan kepada penyelesaian masalah teknikal ini? Oh, tidak! Tetapi, minisite aku juga penting kerana aku sedang melaksanakan hebahan secara berperingkat kepada pihak media dan sahabat taulan. Walaupun pada dasarnya, ia belum dirasmikan lagi. Kerana aku memilih tarikh 18.01.2010 untuk dirasmikan kepada khalayak umum. (Kenapa 18.01.2010? Apa signifikan tarikh ini? Nanti cerita kemudian.)

Aku tak malu bertanya kepada sesiapa sahaja. Ditakdirkan aku menemui seorang malam tadi pada jam 10:21 malam. Interkasi kami hanya melalui Facebook. Dia tidak serik membimbing dalam talian. Aku dah hampir mati akal kerana masalah ini seolah-olah terlalu besar untuk aku tangani. Dia sabar memberi tunjuk ajar. Memberi penerangan tanpa rasa jemu. Aku yang rasa dah lesu. Apa tidaknya, jam panjang dan pendek dah hampir bersatu. Cuba punya cuba... akhirnya berjaya diselesaikan berkat kesabarannya memberi bimbingan hingga jam 12:39 pagi! Ya... selama 2 jam melayan masalah dan kerenah ketidakpandaian aku!

Beliau yang aku maksudkan ialah seorang yang kukenali di satu bengkel internet dan kami berkawan menerui Facebook. Empunya nama ialah Mohamad Radzi Md Rejab yang mengendali beberapa blog, antara lain ialah http://iberwang.com.my.

Entri ini aku dedikasi untuk beliau kerana harga persahabatan dan ilmu yang disalurkan tidak ternilai. Bukan setakat minum teh secawan sahaja Radzi!

Hong Kong’s Largest Online Printing Company, e-print, Has Opened in Malaysia

(KUALA LUMPUR, 12th) Hong Kong’s largest online printing company, e-print, has opened in Malaysia.It held an open ceremony of its first branch in Malaysia on Jalan Pudu today.


E-print Internet Printing Co. Ltd. (hereafter “ e-print”) started its business on October 3rd, 2001 in Hong Kong. Within a few years it has grown from a small outfit employing 6 workers to become a 300-strong enterprise. The printing machines have increased to 8 units and e-print now has 60,000 square feet of factory floor space. It will continually expand, even to regions outside Hong Kong; the Malaysian branch is one of the major overseas expansion.


Hong Kong e-print Director Mr.KK Chan said, “The reason e-print has chosen Malaysia to open its first branch is because Malaysia has a language-skill advantage that other countries lack. This, plus a conducive geographical environment, convinces Hong Kong e-print that Malaysia is absolutely the correct first step in the globalization of its enterprise. Additionally, the Malaysian market has a population of close to 30 million, very similar in terms of business environment to Taiwan, a country where internet printing companies are the most numerous and successful. E-print believes Malaysia has considerable potential and future. The key factor of e-print successful philosophy is customer oriented, and it hopes its can adapt by Malaysian. Towards this end, e-print seeks partnership with local printing companies so that e-print can be localized, while helping Malaysian printers conform to international standards.”


The traditional printing company lacks of standardization in terms of pricing, quality and delivery time.Thus e-print has, from the very beginning, imported automatic Computer-to-Plate technology and modern high-speed printing equipments. These, together with our self-developed imposition software, allow e-print to control over cost, production time and product quality. Additionally e-print has standardized its pricing and made its products affordable. Now everybody can enjoy the benefits of printing.


E-print Malaysia Managing Director Mr. Brian Poon said, “The Malaysia e-print is 100% for Malaysian although the system is developed by Hong Kong. With our online management system and the international standard printing technology, we can guarantee that there is no difference between the production from two countries. We differ only in the way we serve and price our products to suit local requirement. E-print adopts a cost control system that has been in use in Hong Kong for many years to ensure the most cost-effective production. Thanks to Hong Kong self-develop online printing system, we manage to save the million dollars of software development cost every year. Thus we can ensure our price will always be competitive.”

In order to provide lower price, Malaysian short run printing companies here generally use second-hand machines, but not e-print. From the day it was established, e-print decided to pursue high international standard, to ensure their customers enjoy the best quality printings at the best prices; so e-print has chosen the Heidelberg Speedmaster Anicolor, a German latest printing machine. This machine forms the solid foundation of e-print printing quality. It has higher standards that other machines cannot match; its high quality printings are free from color-variation and “ghosting” problem. That aside, for color management standards, e-print uses the ISO 12647-2 Standards and Heidelberg is responsible for its supervision and implementation. On top of all these, e-print uses Heidelberg ink complemented by Hong Kong supplied color control and management, all to ensure that the quality of print-outs meets the highest German printing standards.


With high-technology now so well developed, people find themselves always racing against time. Besides having a transparent pricing and providing high quality products, e-print is saving customers’ time with convenient online printing systems, for example: document upload system, online order tracing system, product-ready SMS alert and online payment system. In this information technology era, e-print needs to ensure their customers can get everything they want without having to leave their homes.


“The services we now provide are leaflet (advertising flyer), poster and business card printing. We promise to provide more diversified products in the future, including Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bind book printing, and we hope these will in time become our star products. In conjunction with our Malaysian opening ceremony, we introduce our special price of business cards (100 cards per box) for RM6.00 per box!” Brian Poon explained.


For further details, visit their web site www.e-print.my or inquire at the customer service hotlines 03-2142 9300 / 03-2141 7300 / 03-2145 0615. The business operation is at No. 3 Lorong Brunei 3, Off Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.

Calling to Newbies – Step by Step Course on Internet Marketing

If you are not a tech savvy and wish to set up a internet business, you will want to check out my friend, Vincent Cheng’s 2-day internet marketing course namely Sales 2.0 Marketing 2.0 Training Seminar for an extremely reasonable cost (I think he is practically giving this away!).

Personally, I wouldn’t call it as a seminar. It’s a hands-on practical training. It designed especially to those who know less about IT and the best of all, you would be able to refresh your lesson for FREE (yes, no kidding, for FREE) after attending this 2-day course. I have attended on 25 & 26 July and would be attending another session to recap what I may have missed out on this coming Sunday.

If you have been wanting to set up a website for online business and wonder how to generate leads using social media especially Facebook, and just needed a concise step-by-step tutorial and still not sure if the course is perfectly for you... I highly recommend you to witness it yourself to the preview a.k.a 2-hour Facebook Revolution Makerting Workshop on every Wednesday night 7:30pm. Did I tell you it’s FREE? Well, if you walk-in to the workshop, you need to pay RM50. If you register and pay online, RM30. If you mention my name, it is FOC! The options are there, the choice is yours!

Program Latihan Sales 2.0 Marketing 2.0 - Revolusi Facebook

Waktu berdetik deras berlalu. Pejam celik sebulan dah lalu. Tak ada satu pun entri baru sejak bulan lepas hingga sekarang.

Bukan tak ada cerita. Tapi banyak sangat komitmen yang aku galas kebelakangan ini. Banyak sangat perkara yang aku nak capai. Masih banyak yang perlu dipelajari. Antara yang terbaru ialah mempelajari Sales 2.0 Marketing 2.0!

Selepas menyertai forum National Web 2.0 di Expo SME Solutions di Mid Valley baru-baru ini, aku tergerak hati nak dalami lagi fenomena 2.0 ni.

Apa kejadah terma 2.0 ni? Web 2.0? Sales 2.0? Marketing 2.0?

Ketepikan istilah 2.0 tu. Fahamkan istilah asasnya dulu. Apa itu web, sales dan marketing? Bila dah faham istilah-istilah asas ni, jadi ia lebih mudah untuk kita memahami web 2.0, sales 2.0 dan marketing 2.0 .

Jika web berupaya untuk kita berkomunikasi melalui alam maya, maka web 2.0 adalah versi yang dikemaskini. Yang lebih gah! Definasi yang memperlihatkan aku ni seolah-olah hebat (konon) lebih kurang gini...
Web 2.0 merupakan satu versi baru internet yang merujuk kepada generasi kedua pembangunan jaringan dan reka bentuk untuk memudahkan komunikasi, interaksi, perkongsian maklumat secara selamat, saling boleh kendali, dan kerjasama pada jaringan sejagat. Konsep web 2.0 telah membawa kepada pembangunan dan evolusi komuniti jaringan, perkhidmatan hosting dan aplikasi seperti laman rangkaian sosial, laman perkongsian video, wiki, blog dan sebagainya.
Ekoran daripada itu, maka hari ni... lebih tepat lagi adalah sejak jam 9 pagi tadi, aku berkurung di bilik latihan di Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur memperlajari teknik-teknik Sales & Marketing dengan menggunakan kemudahan-kemudahan aplikasi rangkaian sosial seperti Facebook, YouTube, Google, Delicious.com, blog, PodCasting dan mak oiii... banyak lagi!

Pembelajaran yang berterusan dari 9:30 pagi hingga 6 petang yang dihidangkan dengan adunan maklumat dan intipati terma yang baru dan segar bagi aku, sesungguhnya memenatkan otak... dan ia memberi pulangan nilai yang berbaloi! Nak tahu apa yang aku belajar hari ni... jenguk laman ini.

Oh ya... esok aku masih ada satu sesi lagi. Ini yang best! Hari ini banyak persembahan teori dengan contoh-contoh praktikal, tapi esok peserta bakal mengaplikasikan apa yang dipelajari secara hand-ons.

Bukan Lawak April Fool… Blogging Pun Dapat RM5 – RM10 Ribu Sebulan

April Fool Graphics

TANGGAL1 April setiap tahun, kebiasaannya aku akan mencorak rutin harian dengan insiden berseloroh dan mengenakan rakan taulan.

Tapi lain pula tahun ini. Aku nak berkongsi testimoni kejayaan para blogger yang menjalankan rangkaian perniagaan internet melalui komuniti blog di BlogStarz.my. Ia seolah-olah lawak April Fool kerana tanpa pengalaman atau pengetahuan IT, mereka berjaya mengaut pendapatan antara RM5,000 hingga RM10,000 sebulan!

Florentina Usuw George, 25, dari Sungai Petani, Kedah, mencatat pendapatan lumayan berjumlah RM8,000 sejak menjadi blogger di BlogStarz.my pada awal Disember 2008, secara separuh masa.

Hairpuddin Mohamad, 39, yang masih mentah dalam perniagaan internet mampu meraih pendapatan RM42,000 melalui rangkaian rakan niaga dan blogger lain.

Nora Azalina Ibrahim, 37, dari Temerloh, Pahang, berjaya memperoleh pendapatan RM32,000 dengan bermodalkan RM693 pada mula pembabitan beliau dalam perniagaan di BlogStarz.my.

Rahimah Mohd Nordin, 62, dari Kajang, Selangor, berjaya mencatat pendapatan mencecah RM3,000 secara sambilan, hanya melalui rangkaian rakan niaga seramai enam ahli di bawah beliau.

Zamzul Hisham, 35, dari Kulim, Kedah, berjaya mencatat pendapatan berjumlah RM35,000, menerusi jaringan kumpulan yang berpusat di kawasan utara Semenanjung Malaysia.

Setelah meneliti resipi kejayaan mereka, aku yakin mereka memiliki ciri-ciri berikut:
1) Mempunyai matlamat yang jelas
2) Sedia menimba ilmu
3) Membina rangkaian perniagaan
4) Bertindak cepat dan tepat
5) Yakin dan komited

Barangkali ada yang menganggap ini hanya gurauan April Fool atau igauan siang hari. Apapun, baca cerita selanjutnya di www.HarlymYeo.my dan lu fikiq la sendiri!

Life After the 30-Second Spot: Energize Your Brand With a Bold Mix of Alternatives to Traditional Advertising

Joseph Jaffe “Life After the 30-Second Spot: Energize Your Brand With a Bold Mix of Alternatives to Traditional Advertising"
Wiley | 2005-05-25 | ISBN: 0471718378 | 304 pages | PDF | 1,6 MB

The old media strategies advertisers used for decades no longer work. Here's what does!

Life After the 30-Second Spot explains how savvy marketers and advertisers are responding with new marketing techniques to get their message out, get noticed, engage their audiences-and increase sales! Covering topics such as viral marketing, gaming, on-demand viewing, long-form content, interactive, and more, the book explains the new avenues marketers and advertisers must use to replace traditional print, TV, and radio advertising-and which strategies are most effective. This book is every marketer's road map to "new marketing."

48 Ways To Get Rich

Last week i attended a so-called FREE seminar jointly-conducted by AmBank & Wealth Mentors. It was a truly interesting 1 1/2-hour 'seminar'. The speaker Albert Cheah shared on his experience on how he started his online business and his 4-step secret blueprint to earning thousands of dollars monthly. But toward the end of the 'seminar', i realized that it was a preview session of a 3-day Ultimate Internet Entrepreneur Workshop to be held on 4 - 6 September 2008. Guess what... it's only less than $500 (yes, i said 500 but in USD not RM). It considers reasonable fee for certain people. Furthermore, for AmBank Cardmembers, they will enjoy a 24-month free interest installment payment, which they only need to pay less than RM70/month. It sounds attractive to me... but after due consideration, i have to forgo...! Alternatively, i'm looking for something really FREE at the moment. And finally, i found something which may interest everybody, namely 48 e-books on how to achieve Cash & Power. The e-books consist of:

▪ 7 Power Steps to Making Money
▪ 7 Secrets to Unlimited Traffic
▪ 7 Super Secret Ebooks
▪ 10 Steps to Killer Web Copy
▪ 99 Websites you should have bookmarked
▪ 100 Dollars Per Day
▪ 144 Business Opportunities
▪ EbayPower Sellings
▪ 100 templates
▪ 1001 Newbie Friendly Tips

How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less


In business, we can’t make a living selling to our friends. We don’t have the luxury of choosing our colleagues or our managers, our clients or counterparts in other companies. So learning how to establish rapport with all sorts of people is crucial.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re selling real estate, connecting with an audience, negotiating a deal, designing concept cars, recommending the lamb chops over the chilli con carne, looking for the perfect partner or giving the State of the Union address, you must deliver trust, logic and emotion simultaneously. People must instinctively feel, “I trust you, you make sense and you move me.”

Most people can deliver on one of these elemental forces, some on two: Nicholas Boothman shows how connect on all three instinctive levels.
