Here pertikan Compass interview with Ahira at his parents' home in Jalan Bojong Banjaran Lemongrass, Bandung.
CAN be told how to start a career as an internet marketing?
I am a villager who two years ago did not know anything about the internet let alone internet marketing. Indeed many people who do not believe.
When did the world begin to recognize the Internet?
My friend, Didier Ahadiat, one of the students who work part time as a guard warnet (warung internet-Red). He was the first person who taught me about how to create e-mail at Hotmail. Now he's become my technician. At the same time, I always believe in yourself, ask people around who also were playing their usual internet, especially chat. I always pleaded, "Please ajarin me how to make money on the internet?". At that, almost all my friends laugh. They called me was a dream.
What is your current job?
I teach part-time from level one since college. However, after level two, I was often hired by textile firms, such as the Pan Asian Textile, KTSM, Kukje-Adetex, Korin, Hanil Global Textile Industry, and many other companies to teach the Indonesian language for their foreign employees. I also teach the children who study at the International School, I teach math, science, drawings, as well as English for the people of Indonesia. Every teaching, then I get paid between Rp 75,000 to Rp 150,000 per hour. To measure students' large enough and every month I was able to produce 1000 U.S. dollars. But before teaching, I also worked as a sideline, a cleaning service, and even had to sell a story book for children. I then walk around from house to house. Until finally came to one house, and a mother offers me, than I am the streets during the hot and circumference, mending teach their children English. Since then I became a teacher.
Then the exact reason you are interested in studying the internet? Is there that inspired him?
Since I already own elementary school and help parents selling fried bananas or ice. If you go to school, I brought a big bag of three pieces, one for the books, and two for selling bananas. I always tell my Mom, when I grow up, my baseball will work to achieve, I want to work at home, a vacation anytime may, around the world, where aja may, many money, ha-ha-ha .... My mom often snaps me, "Do not dream, if you you have a factory maybe you could like it, but Dad you just regular factory employee, and Mama you just handyman gado-gado. If you want to live better, learn to be a true and must pitar ". It is the words that my mother often catapult. So, I tried to smart in school and I often become champion class. My mother also liked to say, if I want to go around the world, the first step is to learn English. I learn English from primary school at that time the village people to judge "weird". Why learn English? They thought it was just a waste of money. But I always thought it was the capital to go around the world.
So, since my primary school already able to speak fluent English because of course at the Dutch. Until I understood at the time of college and was thinking, maybe teaching is my way of life. But in my heart I often say that my brain can actually be used more than just teaching. Until one day during lunch, my sister in law told me that there is a 17-year-olds in America there are people who can generate thousands of dollars from the internet. I am quite surprised, and continued curiosity. In fact, my own sister in law did not know the internet is like what, even now he does not know how to send or create e-mail. He only knows one site: www.yahoo.com. Sister in law I am a chicken farmer, who now work together at my dad take care of other people in the village chicken. But the story he was, I was very inspired, and the next day I went straight to the cafe for the first time and find out how to make money on the internet.
What is the capital owned at that time?
Capital curious and reckless capital. When I first sat in front of the internet, my baseball knows nothing and should be doing. I do not know which sites should I visit, even I do not know "search engine" that's what. E-mail and even I do not know.
Is ins and outs faced when starting it all?
Lots. Many sad things that I went through. Almost everyone around me can not believe what I do, they think I'm strange and "crazy" because they thought I was just a waste of money. In fact, for me the puzzle not yet solved and I will not give up.
Does this profession quite promising in the future?
Very promising and will be something that was more promising than working offline.
Why?
For its target market of the world. Meanwhile, if you are working offline, you can only do one or two jobs, unless they have employees. But if online, you can do 10, 30, 40 jobs, and it only requires a one-time set-up but can produce continuously. Examples such as the Elite Team, I just make a one-time training for 30 days, but in life people can be unlimited and those who just received training from the training that I will feel like new. Even with the way online, I can teach while dozing.
How you can reap such a large income through the internet?
To sell a product, I have to say one month time. Could actually sell some products in a month because I was always busy e-mail reply from the client or the elite team. So my aim was to sell one product within a month. This time is used for research, create websites, marketing strategy, and others. Say for the product A I set up in January, I was able to, for example 500 dollars per month. The next month I set up and sell product B, and I can also say U.S. $ 500 per month as well. I still can commission from product A that I set up the previous month and an additional of product B. And, I continue to look for other products that can be sold. So you can imagine, if one year we could sell 10 different products, at some point we could get more than 5,000 U.S. dollars per month. In fact it can be, instead producing product A 3000 U.S. dollars per month after 10 months. That's why many internet marketers who earn just a scene within a few years. That happens because they already have marketing systems that can run itself and make money month per month. Done one for another, another, and another ...
What is your next goal?
I want to make online internet marketing school which I will give the name "Asian Brain Internet Marketing Center". I want to share my knowledge with people of Indonesia, to learn internet marketing and keep so they do not run out of money to spend as much as my own first time began to learn about internet marketing. I really want to change the frightened people of Indonesia do business online. In fact, there is actually equal to the gold fields. Internet marketing has changed many people's lives. We do not have to come from the descendants of conglomerates. My only real example, I am not making this up, I was a villager, although still at home, but international business he-he. ...
Now I can go to anywhere and anytime. Despite my sleep, my computer has become such a money-making machine. And I'm sure, many Indonesian people who can like me or even more.
What is your advice for those who want to wrestle like your profession? What is the condition? And what capital should be prepared?
Many people give up just a few months because he wants to fast money. That mental attitude is very wrong. Do not spam people. That is very annoying and very unprofessional. I get many e-mails from people of Indonesia who suddenly send an e-mail and asked me to do business. In the United States such a man could face five years in prison. But do not just because in Indonesia there is no law to "spam e-mail", then the spam-free people, or "harvesting".
Frankly with so you will not be rich through that way. I've never heard of spammers rich or generate thousands of dollars from the internet. So learn a proper way, and strive to become a professional internet marketer.
