salah satu negara penghasil keramik terbaik dan terbesar di dunia.

2. Excelso



Salah satu yang bisa kita lihat selain produk kopi kemasan mereka adalah Excelso Cafe.
Mungkin sebagian besar orang ketika berada di cafe ini, takkan terpikir bahwa Excelso adalah brand cafe lokal.
Kebanyakan orang akan berpikir bahwa Excelso adalah sebuah cafe luar negeri (bisa jadi Amerika) yang membuka cabangnya di Indonesia.
Tapi siapa sangka sebenarnya Excelso ini adalah salah satu anak perusahaan dari Kapal Api Group, yang cukup dikenal dengan brand-nya Kopi Kapal Api.
"Beroperasi sejak 1991 di Plaza Indonesia, cafe Excelso telah menjelma menjadi salah satu ikon gaya hidup di kota-kota besar di Indonesia"
(dikutip dari majalah Swa edisi 29 April - 11 Mei 2010).

3. Buccheri



Produk-produk dari Buccheri adalah Sepatu dan Tas Kulit.
Diproduksi mulai tahun 1980 melalui PT. Vigano Cipta Perdana.
Banyak orang tak menyangka, bahwa merek besutan Ediansyah ini merupakan produk asli buatan Indonesia.
Mayoritas penikmat sepatu dan tas kulit menyangka bahwa Buccheri adalah buatan Italia.

4. Terry Palmer



Banyak yang mengira Terry Palmer merupakan brand dari luar, padahal handuk Terry Palmer tersebut diproduksi di Tangerang.
Terry Palmer merupakan brand handuk yang dimiliki oleh PT.Indah Jaya.
Handuk yang diklaim sebagai handuk paling higienis ini telah diekspor sampai ke Jepang, Australia, Amerika hingga negara-negara Eropa.

5. Broco



Brand ini merupakan milik PT.Broco Mutiara Electrical Industry, yang berdiri pada tahun 1985, dan memproduksi alat-alat dan instrumen kelistrikan.
Kini produk-produk Broco telah banyak digunakan, baik oleh bangunan komersial, tempat tinggal, maupun hotel bintang 5.

6. Casablanca



Siapa yang menyangka kalau merek Casablanca asli dari Indonesia?
Banyak orang menduga kalau merek parfum yang banyak dipakai eksekutif muda ini, berasal dari perancis.
Parfum casablanca, yang dalam iklan-iklannya banyak menampilkan model-model bule itu, ternyata diproduksi di Muara Kapuk, Jakarta.

7. The Executive



Sebelumnya bernama "Executive 99" yang lahir tahun 1974.
Lalu pada tahun 1985 berganti pemilik, dan tahun 2000 berganti nama menjadi The Executive.
Saat ini, brand The Executive bisa dijumpai di Malaysia, Singapura, dan beberapa negara Asia Tenggara lainnya.

8. Paseo



Paseo merupakan brand tisu berkualitas premium yang diproduksi PT.Pindo Deli sejak tahun 1998.
Paseo kini kini telah diekspor ke negara-negara Asia Tenggara (Singapura dan Filipina), Australia, dan Belgia.

9. Edward Forrer



Edward Forrer adalah perusahaan alas kaki dan tas asal Indonesia.
Perusahaan ini dinamakan sesuai nama pendirinya, Edward Forrer, atau lebih sering disapa Edo.
Dimulai dengan memproduksi sepatu pada tahun 1989 di Bandung, kini Edward Forrer memiliki lebih dari 50 gerai di Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, dan Hawaii.
Edward Forrer memiliki kantor pusat di jalan Veteran No.44 Bandung, Jawa Barat.

10. Silver Queen



Silver Queen, Chunky Bar, dan Ceres, siapa yang tak kenal dengan ketiga merek coklat ini?
Tahukah anda, kalau produsennya PT.Petra Foods, menjadi salah satu pemain utama di pasar global.
Petra Foods, perusahaan milik keluarga Chuang ini, menjadi pesaing berat M&M’S, produsen coklat nomor wahid asal Amerika.
Produk-produk dari PT.Petra Foods tersebut juga telah merambah ke setidaknya 17 negara di antaranya Thailand, Jepang, Filipina, Hong Kong, Australia, dan China.

11. Sophie Martin



Sophie Martin didirikan oleh pasangan suami-istri berkebangsaan Perancis, Bruno Hasson dan Sophie Martin.
Pada tahun 1997 mereka datang ke Indonesia karena Bruno mendapat tugas di sebuah perusahaan perancis yang ada di Indonesia.
Mulanya, mereka tak berniat lama-lama tinggal di Indonesia, namun Bruno dan Sophie bukan pasangan ekspatriat biasa.
Sophie piawai merancang tas, sementara Bruno, dengan skill marketingnya yang tinggi, jeli mencium peluang bisnis untuk memasarkan keterampilan istrinya.
Dengan mempekerjakan seorang tukang jahit di loteng rumah, mereka merintis cikal bakal Sophie Martin.
Karena pernah menjadi handbag designer untuk Christian Dior selama 2 tahun, maka produk yang pertama di buat adalah tas.
Ternyata tas-tas yang dipromosikan dari mulut ke mulut tersebut, mendapat respon positif.
Pintu untuk melebarkan sayap pun terbentang lebar.
Trik Sophie Martin dengan menambahkan kata "paris" di belakang brand Sophie Martin tersebut ternyata cukup berhasil, dan mengecoh banyak konsumen.

12. L E A



Merek Jeans ini ternyata produk asli Indonesia.
Meskipun toko dan iklannya bau-bau Amerika, namun produk ini murni made in Indonesia.
Yang jual maupun yang beli tidak pernah minder terhadap merek ini.

13. POLYTRON



Melihat atau mendengar merek Polytron, boleh jadi yang terbayangkan adalah produk elektronik dari luar negeri.
Padahal, sesungguhnya Polytron lahir di Tanah Air, di Kudus, Jawa Tengah (Jateng), yang kemudian menembus pasar Eropa, ASEAN, Timur Tengah, dan Australia.
Bahkan, Polytron bisa dikatakan kini tinggal satu-satunya produk nasional-tanpa prinsipal-yang masih bertahan, setelah melalui perjuangan panjang dan gelombang pasang surutnya industri elektronik nasional.
Menurut yang punya merek, Polytron merupakan gabungan dua kata, yaitu poly yang berarti banyak, dan tron diambil dari kata elektronik.
Jadi, Polytron diartikan sebagai kumpulan (banyak) elektronik.
Barang elektronik, seperti produk audio, video, kulkas, mesin pengatur suhu udara (AC), dan pompa air merek Polytron sebenarnya lahir dari tangan putra-putri Indonesia di Kudus, Jateng.
sekarang produk Polytron menguasai 15 persen pangsa pasar produk elektronik nasional.

PILKADA DKI IMPLEMENTASI DARI KEBHINEKAAN BANGSA INDONESIA


Apa hubungannya Jokowi dan Barcelona? Jawabnya tentu saja karena keduanya sama-sama jago baik dikandang maupun tandang, meski dalam bidang yang berbeda. Satu dalam hal Politik, dan satunya lagi dalam sepak Bola. Terlepas dari hal tersebut paling tidak hasil Pilkada DKI Putaran pertama telah mengisyaratkan kepada kita semua, bahwa Jakarta adalah milik Bangsa Indonesia yang didalamnya telah mewakili semua unsur budaya yang ada.

Jakarta merupakan etalase bangsa Indonesia. Hal ini berarti apa yang terjadi, bagaimana kondisi dan situasi Jakarta hampir bisa dikatakan merefleksikan kondisi Indonesia. Sudah seharusnya Jakarta dipimpin oleh orang yang mempunyai visi dan misi yang bisa menjaga kebhinekaan bangsa Indonesia.

Banyak orang bertanya pada diri sendiri, mengapa blog, apa artinya? Reaksi ini terutama didasarkan pada waktu dan komitmen yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan platform blogging. Saat ini
blogging banyak membuat uang  dan didalamnya ditemukan motivasi dari mereka.

Membantu Orang Lain
Membuat konten blog yang menargetkan memecahkan masalah umum yang terkait dengan niche tertentu mencerminkan niat mulia.

Anda harus memiliki minat yang tulus dalam  apa yang Anda tulis.

Success is The Choice

How to Maximize Your Earnings with a Cashback-Advertising Program
The first factor that determines your level of earnings is the rate of earnings. Generally, you want to choose programs that pay enough to make it worthwhile to get involved. You want to be able to see yourself earn $5,000, $10,000, or even $100,000!
The second factor that determines your level of earnings is how much you start with. Because of risk, in general, it's prudent to put no more than 5-10% of your risk capital into any one program. You may want to consider how your financial situation would be affected if you lost all the money you put into a particular program. (In the case of JSS-Tripler, because it's indefinitely sustainable, you could consider risking as much as 20-30% of your risk capital.)
The third factor that determines your level of earnings is compounding. I (Frederick Mann) started with $2,000 in a particular program. I received a matching bonus, doubling it to $4,000. Then I compounded my initial earnings for a few days until my total advertising purchases reached $4,800. Then I started withdrawing earnings periodically. My plan was to continue periodic withdrawals until my original $2,000 had been recovered.
Once I'm in profit (reached a "break-even point" or achieved a "can't-lose position"), I could start compounding again. It could be 50/50 compounding, or even 80/20 -- parlaying or rolling over 80% of earnings and withdrawing 20%. The ratio would depend on my ongoing level of confidence in the program.
The fourth factor that determines your level of earnings is the percentage referral earnings paid. In a program with a 10%/5% two-tier referral system, your referral earnings can become substantial.
The fifth factor that determines your level of earnings is building your downline. If you steadily sponsor 1-3 people a day, your downline eventually gets large and can earn you many thousands.
From the table of the Top 20 JSS-Tripler Earners at the top of this page, you may be able to deduce or infer the strategies different earners are applying. You can see how much of their earnings comes from their positions, and how much from their downline.
The fifth factor that determines your level of earnings is longevity. With most high-return programs it's very important to get in early, because they are not sustainable and have a habit of disappearing with your money. In the case of JSS-Tripler, because it's indefinitely sustainable, it's less important to get in early. With JSS-Tripler, you have "longevity on your side!" (In 2005, I joined a simlar (but unsustainable) program when it had just under 59,000 members. I earned about $100,000 by the time the program failed, when it had about 300,000 members.)

Selling Or Buying Domain Names For Revenue
 by: Marcus Wilson




If you are looking to make money online, you are possibly aware that it seems that everyday new ways are being presented on how you can achieve this. Flipping domains, on the other hand, is a proven opportunity to make money and sometimes quickly, although not everyone is aware of the market for this. In a similar manner as owning a website means you have an asset, this is also the case when you purchase a domain. How domains can be sold for a nice return is something we will now explore.

There are countless domains that made people prosperous who were in this market at the start and there are many of these who still trade domains as a genuine business today. The dot com extension is actually the most valuable and the one word kind of domains are long gone in terms of availability as they are for the majority of the others such as dot net and dot org. If you can instruct yourself about this market, you can still make healthy profits once you realize where the demand is.

Short domain names have the potential to make you some money and those with the least characters are most likely to be priced at the uppermost level. One of the underlying factors these can be attractive to prospective buyers is they may be seen as brandable particularly in these days of web 2.0 sites that have short quirky names. Clearly, some will be more marketable than others and so you need to get a feel for what looks right. You should learn to get an instinct for what is right here and by looking into what actually sells and for what price, your understanding of what creates interest will increase.

If you look into niches as part of your internet marketing, you will recognize the next sort of domain that is dependent on specific keyword phrases. Google's keyword tool is used by many people for investigation in internet marketing and, in domaining, the exact match options are often used. The more occasions an exact keyword is searched for, the more valuable the domain could be to buy if you still can get it. The dot net and dot org extensions can be lucrative if you find that the more sought after dot com has already been registered. As you become more competent, you will get an idea as to what markets are the most profitable as this will have an effect on the price paid for domains.

A further area of escalating interest for domainers are extensions associated with particular international locations such as the UK and Germany. It is conceivable to unearth domains that you might not obtain for the main domain extensions and this could end up being profitable. If you keep an eye on the market, you will see that you are much more aware of where the value is. Sedo is one of the largest sites online for marketing domains so you need to see what goes on there and sign up for a forum like NamePros or DNForum.

Domain flipping can make you money online as long as you invest some hours gaining the wisdom you need to trade successfully.
