Jumlah pengguna internet di Indonesia terus bertambah. Seperti diberitakan harian Kompas, pada tahun 2012, jumlah pengguna internet di Indonesia mencapai 55 juta orang. Ini berarti ada peningkatan 30,9% dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya. Apa saja yang dicari orang dengan mengakses internet? Selain berburu informasi dan bersosialisasi melalui media
sosial online, ternyata cukup banyak
juga orang yang mengakses internet untuk berbelanja. Jika sebelumnya
tren berbelanja didominasi oleh mal-
mal berpendingin ruangan, kini kian
banyak saja orang yang memanfaatkan media online untuk shopping.
Tidak percaya? Coba saja tengok hasil survey yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan penyedia layanan kartu kredit Mastercards di sini.
Berdasarkan hasil survey yang dilakukan pada periode Desember 2011 hingga Februari 2012 ini, sebanyak 77% responden di Indonesia menunjukkan kecenderungan untuk berbelanja online. Masih menurut survey yang sama, pertumbuhan minat belanja
online di Indonesia juga mengalami
peningkatan hingga 15%! Itu sebabnya, sama sekali tidak mengherankan apabila bisnis yang dilakukan secara online saat ini semakin menjamur. Mengikuti prinsip “ada gula ada semut”, di mana pembeli berkumpul, maka di sana pula penjual menggelar “bakul”. Nah, untuk Anda yangtertarik untuk terjun ke bisnis online,, berikut lima hal penting berdasarkan pengamatan saya yang perlu diperhatikan:
1. Gali wawasan. Di mana lokasi yang ramai dikunjungi orang? Apa tren produk yang sedang laku di pasaran?
Informasi tersebut bisa Anda dapatkan dengan cara browsing di internet dan bergabung dengan sejumlah milis. Cobalah pula berbelanja di beberapa toko online yang sudah “establish”, agar Anda bisa membandingkan kualitas layanan yang diberikan.
2. Tentukan lokasi & metode berjualan. Langkah selanjutnya adalah menentukan lokasi dan metode berjualan yang sesuai dengan produk Anda. Jika Anda punya banyak teman atau pengikut di media sosial, tak ada salahnya mengawali bisnis Anda di situs media sosial tersebut. Kepercayaan adalah salah satu landasan hubungan bisnis yang sehat, bukan?
3. Promosikan usaha Anda. Layaknya toko konvensional, toko online pun memerlukan promosi agar bisa menarik pembeli. Caranya bisa dimulai dengan menyebarkan link berisi promosi tentang toko Anda di media sosial atupun blog yang Anda miliki.
4. Konsisten dan sabar. Yang namanya merintis usaha, tentunya Anda tidak akan dengan serta-merta meraih sukses dalam waktu singkat. Konsisten dan sabar adalah dua modal utama yang perlu Anda milikii dalam berbisnis online (juga dalam jenis bisnis lainnya).
5. Teliti sebelum menjual. Ketika
berjualan secara online, Anda tidak
dapat bertemu dengan calon pembeli secara langsung. Karenanya, sikap hati-hati dan waspada amat
diperlukan agar Anda terhindar dari
upaya penipuan. Semoga tips-tips di atas berguna bagi Anda yang ingin memulai usaha di dunia maya. Selamat menjadi pebisnis online!

Dear Freda:First, I want to thank all our friends who vote with what they buy. Without their fafhitul supports, Third Place will not even exist. Third Place will have her historical significance in Taiwan's Salon and Spa industry.Third Place is the first Salon and Spa in Taiwan that don't use fear based and distrust based Commission System to reward hairstylists or Spa aestheticians. People told me that I am crazy to trust young hairstylists will work for non-commission. All hairstylists got into this profession for money, not for their passion or service from heart. I just want to prove to them that they are wrong. People want to be trusted and wanted to participate in something larger than themselves. Of course, we have a merit based salary with open book management and 20% profit sharing and a different career paths for all our hairstylists. They can open their own salons and stay within our network, they can become a teacher at Canmeng Institute or they can be a happy hairstylists who practice Daymaking everyday with their best friends ( guests ). Hairstylist is a beautiful and rewarding profession if you decided not to put money in the center of your career path. In Canmeng, we are trying to create a new beauty industry which is not built on commission, but on lifestyle choice and Daymaking. Time really flies, especially, during our age.I intend to focus my time on Ripplemaker Foundation starting in 2013.Ripplemaker Foundation's mission is to help people to realize their dream through entrepreneurship. I firmly believe people don't need charity, people just need chance.In many ways, Ripplemaker Foundation is like a Profit for Purpose ( PFP ) business. Ripplemaker Foundation will be financed completely by my own efforts, not seeking any donation or government fund. I think this is the problem for most NPO who needs donors, sponsors and grants to survive. I think PFP business is the next phase, in addition to the buzz business model: Social Business or Social entrepreneur.If you read my book or search this blog, you will find the origin and the evolution of this PFP Business model.Well, I am going to put it into experiment now. ( Red Room is actually a kind of PFP business model already, if you look closely. )Thank you for your well wishes. I shall need it.Ping
What a treat to find your website via Pinterest. I'm thgohuorly enjoying your entries, candor and humor. A few girlfriends of mine and I have been talking about what products we use that actually -really- work. The list is short.Budget is important to me, so I've been using the Drug Store brand: Neutrogena, some Garnier and Loreal. And my big splurge (I ask for Christmas and my birthday) are Clarins products. I'm just 39 and feel like I should really start using products that will do something. What are your favorites and what do you recommend?
There is absolutely <a href="http://jmkwonrnh.com">nohintg</a> about the first bikini that is sophisticated or flattering. The second one is not very flattering either. It's like they decide what size swimsuit to get and then just force the model to wear it no matter what. That first suit is practically pornographic. It's a shame because she is a pretty girl who could have looked much better.
