Wow… sebenarnya RahsiaInternet.com sejak 2005 tak pernah berubah-ubah. Dalam penjenamaan perniagaan Internet, konsisten adalah penting- jangan selalu ubahkan website atau yang disebutkan “rebranding”. Dalam perniagaan Internet, jangkamasa 2-3 tahun untuk ubahsuai laman web adalah baik. Kalau terlalu dekat jangkamasa perubahan, takut laman web anda belum lagi dikenali, dan perubahan akan melemahkan jenama.
So, lepas 3 tahun, barulah saya dapat ubahkan laman web RahsiaInternet.com… beri a fresh look! So, bagi pelawat tip satu minit, dapat jadi yang pertama melihat- website yang lebih simple, professional dan consistent look.
Oh ya, sudah pasti, dalam penjenamaan, warna jangan diubahkan!
Ada beberapa perkara yang baru saya tambah bagi mereka yang mempunyai masa terluang:
Tip hari ini #1, dalam perniagaan Internet, ubahsuai laman web untuk jadikannya “fresh”. Jangan terlalu cepat, kerana kalau cepat, orang ramai tak sempat menanam jenama anda di minda mereka. Dan jangan terlalu lewat, kerana kalau lewat, laman anda akan jadi out of date! 2-3 tahun adalah jangkamasa yang baik.
Ok, itu pengumuman & tip pertama… yang kedua…
Akan saya umumkan esok!
Irfan Khairi - Terhangat di pasaran! Agak-agaknya apa ya? Ha… ni saya nak buat satu pertandingan ni. Siapa boleh teka dengan tepat, saya kasi hadiah special punya
Clue: bukan lagu KRU… kalau lagu KRU, nanti dia kata saya ni “Jantan terhangat di pasaran” pulak
Siapa dapat teka dengan tepat, sebelum saya umumkan (probably esok) dapat hadiah.
Tip hari ini #2, buat pelawat anda terfikir-fikir sebelum melakukan sesuatu. Dulu saya pernah sebut tentang teknik “teaser” ini. Kalau dilihat, Steve Jobs dari Apple memang bijak menggunakan strategi ini sehingga satu masa dulu, ramai yang tertunggu-tunggu bagai nak rak dengan kemunculan iPhone!
So, any takers? (kalau salah takpe… bukannya kena denda. Malah, anda juga boleh menjanakan idea lagi)
The Old Navy affiliate program made a new piece of video creative, powered by Qoof, available to affiliates recently.
In addition to the regular commissions available to affiliates for referring sales to Old Navy, when they promote this “fashion files” video, they’ll receive a $25 BONUS on their first sale.
The video has a number of interactive elements for consumers to see product details, photos, and a call to action to click through and purchase.
I’d love to see this become as common as the old dinosaur 468×60 banners.

I read Gunter Ollmann's post in the IBM ISS blog with interest today. Gunter is "Director Security Strategy, IBM Internet Security Systems," so he is undoubtedly pro-outsourcing. Here is his argument:

The GeekCast regulars of Shawn Collins, Jim Kukral, and Lisa Picarille, were joined by the legendary Scott Jangro.
Jim greeted Scott with a touching rendition of Lionel Richie’s “Hello.” After we wiped away a collective tear, we talked about everything from the new Seinfeld ad with Bill Gates to Lisa’s anger towards vanity license plates that don’t properly describe the person driving the car.

Brian Trammell and Bill Yurcik were kind enough to ask me to deliver the keynote at the 1st ACM Workshop on Network Data Anonymization (NDA 2008). The one day event takes place 31 October 2008 at George Mason University in northern VA. My talk will discuss the trials and tribulations of OpenPacket.org, and changes planned for the project.Copyright 2003-2008 Richard Bejtlich and TaoSecurity (taosecurity.blogspot.com and www.taosecurity.com)
A friend of mine is working on digital defense strategies at work. He is interested in your commentary and any relevant experiences you can share. He is moving from a "deny bad, allow everything else" policy to an "allow good, deny everything else" policy.
Rob Lee was kind enough to ask me to deliver the keynote on the second day of the SANS WhatWorks in Incident Response and Forensic Solutions Summit. The two-day event takes place 13-14 October 2008 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV. The conference agenda looks great, with training classes available before and after the summit. The tuition fee is $1,595 if paid by 10 Sep or $1,845 thereafter. I am very much looking forward to attending this event.

Dalam surah Al-Baqarah, Allah menggelar umat kita sebagai ummatan wasatha. Yang bermaksud yang Terbaik. Wasatha juga bermaksud Adil seperti disebut dalam al-Asas fit Tafsir.
Ummatan Wasatha = Terbaik + Adil
Sekiranya konsep ini dipegang dalam perniagaan, perniagaan kita perlulah perniagaan yang terbaik dan adil. Keuntungan yang kita dapat juga adalah yang terbaik dan adil. Usaha yang kita lakukan juga perlu yang terbaik dan adil.
Bila dalam perniagaan, bila usaha kita terbaik, produk kita terbaik, dan perniagaan kita keseluruhan adalah terbaik, memang tiada sebab kita tak boleh dapat untung yang terbaik- sehingga boleh digelar jutawan.
Itulah dianya perniagaan konsep ummatan wasatha. Terbaik dan adil.
Bagaimana caranya? Jawapannya dalam surah Al-Imran yang menyebut tentang golongan ulul albab. Iaitu golongan yang berakal + berilmu + berfikir.

Establishing your own E-commerce site is not like what it used to be. There are thousands of competition that is all too willing to get a bigger share of the pie. Every scheme and method you can find to augment your sales would be very beneficial.
We have got to admit to ourselves. Most of us are into it for the money. We are not going to waste our time and effort just for the fun of it. Many sites would not wait until hell freezes over just to see their profits. While there are some who takes things lightly there are always those who would rather see profit any given day.
It is common knowledge that without traffic we have no business. Like any business, without any customers you don’t get sales. Traffic represents all the people that gets a chance to see what you have to offer. The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them.
Nobody puts up an E-commerce site that doesn’t expect profit. We have a startup capital that needs to be regained. With a consistent traffic, we at least have a fighting chance to achieve that probability. Monetizing your traffic would optimize your chances of making the best out of it.
Making Money out of your Traffic
The best and most proven method of making a profit out of your traffic is using advertising. The internet generates hundreds of thousands upon hundred of thousands of traffic everyday. Most of them are searching for something. While some are just looking for information there is also a good percentage that is looking for something that they need.
The internet has proven to be a very reliable source in finding what was deemed to be a very unsearchable product. The internet has made the world a smaller place; you can advertise a product from the depths of Istanbul and still find a buyer from the center of Philadelphia.
Generating traffic is not an easy task. You have to contend with a great number of sites to generate a good number of traffic flow. But if done successfully this could open up a Pandora’s Box of possibilities. One of the benefits is monetizing your traffic flow.
So, to get to the core of it the more traffic you generate the more likely you are considered as a desirable, desirable, in a sense that a good traffic flowing site is easily convertible to profit. Basically traffic equals profit. Advertising is the name of the game; with the good advertising scheme you can use your traffic flow to your advantage.
When you have good traffic you have a good number of potential customers, customers that are willing to pour money into your coffers. Other than that these are also traffic that can be redirected to sponsored links that are willing to pay you for a sizeable portion of the traffic that you have generated.
This scheme is called “pay-per-click”. With every click a visitor of your site makes on an advertised link you will be paid. The more traffic you generate and the more clicks that happens would spell to more profits.
Affiliate Programs
Another method of monetizing your traffic are affiliate programs. You can link up with other tried and tested sites and online companies and monetize your traffic by having a percentage of sales generated by traffic coming from your site.
The basic idea is, traffic generated from your site will go to another site that can offer a product that you do not carry. Many programs can keep track and make records of transactions that was made possible because of site linkage.
When purchases are made by customers that was led by your site to their site you get a percentage of that sale. Affiliate programs would give you the benefit of monetizing your traffic without the actual need of carrying or promoting a certain product.
There are so many ways and methods to monetize your traffic. All it takes is a bit of hard work and the desire to successfully launch a profit-earning site. The internet is a veritable source of information, many tips and guides are offered everywhere in how to monetize your traffic and make your site a good profit earner.
If you are using your autoresponder to sell a product or service, you must be very careful as to how you approach your potential customer. Few people like a hard sale, and marketers have known for years that in most cases, a prospect must hear your message an average of seven times before they will make a purchase. How do you accomplish this with autoresponders?
It’s really quite simple, and in fact, the autoresponders make getting the message to your potential customers those seven times possible. On the Internet, without the use of autoresponders, you probably could not achieve that. Too often, marketers make the mistake of literally slamming the potential customer with a hard sales pitch with the first autoresponder message – this won’t work.
You build interest slowly. Start with an informative message – a message that educates the reader in some way on the topic that your product or service is related to. At the bottom of the message, include a link to the sales page for your product. Use that first message to focus on the problem that your product or service can solve, with just a hint of the solution.
Build up from there, moving into how your product or service can solve a problem, and then with the next message, ease into the benefits of your product – giving the reader more actual information with each and every message. Your final message should be the sale pitch – not your first one! With each message, make sure that you are giving the customer information pertaining to the topic – free information! This is what will keep them interested in what you have to say.
This type of marketing is an art. It may take time to get it exactly right. Use the examples that other marketers have set for you. Pay attention to the messages that you receive from other marketers. Start a ‘swap’ file, and keep those messages. Use some of the better sales copy for your own autoresponder messages – just make sure that yours doesn’t turn out to be an exact copy of someone else’s sales message!
Remember not to start with a hard sale. Build your potential customers interest. Keep building on what the problem is, and how your product or service can solve that problem or fill that need. If you are doing this right, by the time the potential customer reads the last message in that series, they will be convinced enough to make a purchase!
