Masalahnya investasinya itu 130% (menurut saya ini sangat besar, karena tidak semua member yang ikut bisnis PTC mempunyai modal untuk investasi). Banyak juga member bintangbux yang komplain tentang kebijakan ini, saya harap admin bisa merubah kebijakan ini.</p><script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-3729391494996529";google_ad_host = "pub-1556223355139109";/* 336x280, created 1/2/11 */google_ad_slot = "9999796698";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>Visit Indonesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446820669197796506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677406719384572563.post-21650193538488502372011-05-10T20:47:00.000-07:002011-05-10T20:51:36.810-07:00VTRBux Bonus Member Advanced<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.vtrbux.com/?ref=ptclovers"><img src="http://www.vtrbux.com/images/banner3.gif" /></a></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Satu lagi PTC yang memberikan keuntungan bagi para membernya dan layak untuk diikuti.</span><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Beberapa Keuntungan VTRBux</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">1.

Sama sekali tidak. Anda hanya melakukan klik iklan saja dan memakan waktu sekitar 2 jam sehari.<br /><br /><b>Lalu bagaimana saya memulainya?</b><br />Ok, kita mulai kupas tahap demi tahap.<br /><br /><b>Jika anda akan mengikuti PTC, perhatikan baik-baik hal-hal berikut:</b><br />1. <b><i>Cari tahu terlebih dahulu apakah PTC itu benar membayar atau tidak</i></b>. Caranya silahkan cari testimoni atau kesaksian member yang sudah mengikuti PTC tersebut. Anda bisa mencarinya di google atau melihat pada forum PTC itu. PTC tidak ada forum? Hampir pasti itu SCAM.<br /><br />2. <b><i>Lihat berapa harga pembayaran per klik iklannya dan jumlah iklan yang tersedia</i></b>. Hitung baik-baik. apa sebanding waktu yang anda keluarkan dengan bayaran anda. Untuk hal ini akan saya bahas pada point lainnya.<br /><br />3. <b><i>Perhatikan Harga Pemasangan Iklan dan Harga klik Iklan</i></b>. Maksud saya apakah 2 hal ini berbanding lurus atau tidak. Misalnya rata-rata Pemasangan iklan adalah Rp 100/View, lalu anda dibayar 300/View ini sangat tidak masuk akal. Sebaiknya jauhi PTC itu kecuali memang PTC ini sedang dalam masa Promosi.<br /><br />4. <b><i>Jangan tergiur dengan promosi PTC yang mengatakan gratis member Premium</i></b>, Gold atau semacamnya, karena hal ini hanya memberikan tekanan kepada anda supaya anda bisa mempertahankan status tersebut. Jadi lebih baik yang anda dapatkan adalah nilai per klik daripada keanggotaan gratis. Misalnya di salah satu PTC bila anda mendaftar mendapatkan bonus Premium Member selama sebulan. Harga biasanya adalah Rp 50.000, lalu setelah anda hitung biaya perkliknya tidak akan bisa sampai Rp 50.000 sebulan. Maka hal ini hanya jadi beban sia-sia.<br /><br />5. <b><i>Perhatikan nilai Pay Out atau Cash Out sebuah PTC</i></b>. Jika Payout PTC itu rendah, maka anda akan bisa mendapatkan bukti pembayaran lebih cepat, dengan demikian selanjutnya anda bisa menginvestasikan lebih pada PTC tersebut.<br /><br />Sahabat, semua yang saya tuliskan adalah bagaimana kita memulai bisnis ini dengan tanpa modal sedikitpun. Jadi kita akan mengelola apa yang kita dapatkan supaya menjadi lebih besar.<br /><br /><b>Pengalaman pribadi saya jika mengikuti sebuah PTC</b><br />Saya akan menghitung kembali berapa yang bisa saya dapat dalam 1 bulan. Jika saya bisa dapat Minimal $3 dalam 1 PTC maka saya akan ikut, tapi jika kurang dari itu saya mempertimbangkan untuk tidak ambil bagian.<br /><br /><i><b>Lho, 1 bulan cuma $3 ? Kecil donk</b></i>.<br /><br />Iya sangat kecil jika dilihat dari nilainya. tapi jika dihitung kembali 1 PTC hanya makan waktu 3-4 Menit per hari, maka ini sebuah nilai yang besar.<br />Bagaimana kalau anda ikut 20 PTC ? maka <b><i><u>1 bulan anda bisa dapat $60 hanya dengan bekerja kurang dari 2 jam dalam sehari.</u></i></b> Ini hanya modal gratis saja dapat paling kurang $60. Besar bukan?<br /><br />Sekarang ketika anda sudah tahu besaran yang akan anda dapatkan maka anda sudah bisa memulai investasi lebih.<br />Saran saya, jangan ikut lebih dari 20 PTC. ini supaya anda bisa fokus menjalankannya. dari 20 PTC yang anda ikut coba tentukan 5 PTC yang bernilai lebih, akuntabilitas dan bisa dipercaya. Juga lihat apakah nilai upgradenya murah dan hasil yang kita dapatkan lumayan.<br /><br />Seperti saya katakan di atas, bila dalam sebulan anda mendapatkan paling kurang $60, maka sebagian dari keuntungan yang anda dapatkan <b>diinvestasikan kembali</b> ke 5 PTC yang anda lihat bagus. Baik itu upgrade member maupun sewa Refferal.<br />Dari pengalaman saya, ketika saya melakukan hal yang demikian maka dalam bulan kedua pendapatan saya meningkat 2x lipat. Jadi dalam bulan kedua anda bisa mendapatkan paling kurang $120.<br />Bulan ke-3 saya kembali lagi menambah 5 PTC yang saya upgrade dan sewa refferal, maka kembali pendapatan saya berkali lipat dari yang sebelumnya.<br /><br />Sekarang saya ikut 20 PTC dan 10 PTCnya saya sudah upgrade member dan menambah sewa Refferal.<br />Berapa Penghasilan saya Sebulan? <b><i><u>Paling kurang, sekali lagi paling kurang $400.</u></i></b><br />Berapa Modal awal saya? $0, setelah 3 bulan saya bisa dapat paling kurang $400.<br />Anda masih bisa bilang ini kecil?<br />Bagaimana dengan bulan-bulan selanjutnya saat investasi saya semakin besar?<br />Sekali lagi apa yang saya tulis adalah pengalaman dan jika saya bisa maka anda juga pasti bisa.<br /><br />Oh iya, saya tadi sempat mengatakan soal Sewa Refferal<br />Dalam Program ini ada 2 jenis refferal<br /><br />1. <b>Direct Refferal</b> adalah Refferal yang anda dapat langsung dan mendaftar dengan memakai link anda. Jadi jangan ragu untuk promosi. 1 PTC anda sudah punya 5 DR saja maka anda sudah untung.<br /><br />2. <b>Rented Refferal</b> adalah Refferal yang kita sewa dari PTC tersebut. ini bisa berupa sistem atau orang yang mendaftar tanpa upline. Bedanya dengan DR adalah RR ada biaya sewa per bulan. Jadi sebelum anda menyewa refferal maka pikirkan baik-baik dan sesuaikan dengan Nilai Klik refferal<br />Misalnya 1 Refferal berharga sewa $0.5 Sebulan, lalu keuntungan dari per klik refferal adalah $0.005/iklan.<br />Dalam Sehari ada 10 Iklan. Maka :<br />10 Iklan x $0.005 x 30 Hari = $1.5 yang bisa dihasilkan 1 refferal selama 1 bulan<br />Anda punya 10 Refferal = $15 Per bulan. Lebih banyak lagi refferal? hitung saja berapa keuntungan anda.<br /><br />Jadi, setiap kita yang mau menekuni bisnis ini pasti akan mendapatkan hasil yang luar biasa.<br />Siapa saja bisa ikut bisnis ini yang penting bisa internetan hahaha...<br /><br /><b><i>Saran saya buat Sahabat VP.</i></b><br />Bila anda akan ikut sebuah PTC, maka mendaftarlah dengan link mereka yang sudah memberikan anda informasi dan keuntungan sebuah PTC. Karena bila anda mendaftar tanpa upline, maka anda menjadi milik orang lain. Sangat disayangkan mereka yang sudah memberitahukan bisnis ini pada anda dan mereka tidak kita balas kebaikkannya.<br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-3729391494996529";google_ad_host = "pub-1556223355139109";/* 336x280, created 1/2/11 */google_ad_slot = "9999796698";google_ad_width = 336;google_ad_height = 280;//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></div>Visit Indonesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446820669197796506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677406719384572563.post-13297544122571640062011-05-10T19:54:00.000-07:002011-05-10T20:02:18.252-07:00BINTANGBUX Daftar Premium Akun Gratis<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bintangbux.com/?ref=ptclovers"><img src="http://www.bintangbux.com/images/banner1.gif" /></a></span><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nah, yang berikut ini adalah PTC Bintangbux</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PTC ini berasal dari Indonesia, masih baru namun terpercaya dan terbukti membayar.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Keuntungannya:</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1.

That island is Bali, a fertile land of rice paddies and holy mountains also known, appropriately enough, as the Island of the Gods. While the passage of time has wrought certain changes, the essence of Bali, the very soul of this heavenly place is unchanged, and can be found on sacred land in the very heart of the island. Amandari is this place. Perched above the verdant Ayung River Gorge outside the artist’s community of Ubud, it overlooks natural forest and an emerald green cascade of rice paddies, tilled as they have been for centuries. Amandari is also an intrinsic part of Kedewatan, a village that upholds the same age-old traditions and values that the Balinese, a people for whom family and happiness are paramount, have believed in and practiced for centuries. Established 20 years ago to capture and preserve the purity of Bali’s unique culture and joyful spirit, Amandari has done just that, reflecting this truth in every nuance of its name – ‘peaceful spirits’. Amandari is located in the village of Kedetewan, around five minutes from Ubud. The complex consists of thatch-rooved individual villas with private gardens, and appointed with paras volcanic stone and Balinese marble. This hotel in Bali is a Conde Nast award winner as well as a Travel and Leisure award winner.

The fabled Mount Agung, a volcano revered as a home of the gods by the Balinese, rears 3,142m above sea level, providing a dramatic backdrop to the 34-suite resort. Perched on the coast near the village of Manggis in East Bali, Amankila is blessed with a white crescent of private beach, incredible views of the Lombok Strait and cliff-side grounds around the three-tiered pool, sweet with the scent of frangipani and tuberoses. But this hideaway resort offers more than the simple pleasures of sand and sea. Amankila is the ideal base from which to explore the cultural diversity and rich history of East Bali, a place of temples, palaces, rice paddies and ruins, of villages where crafts lost to the rest of the island are still practiced, and where religion is an intrinsic part of everyday life, seen both in colourful festivals and in simple daily offerings to the gods.

It is situated in the Minangkabau highlands, 90 km by road from the West Sumatran capital city of Padang. It is located at 0°18′20″S 100°22′9″E / 0.30556°S 100.36917°E / -0.30556; 100.36917, near the volcanoes Mount Singgalang (inactive) and Mount Marapi (still active). At 930 m above sea level, the city has a cool climate with temperatures between 16.1°-24.9°C<br /><br />Bukittinggi is located about 2 hours north-east by road from the international airport. The only way to get there is by car. But all the roads are good and smooth. As Bukittinggi is a tourist destination, try to avoid traveling on weekends as the traffic can be quite bad especially when climbing uphill.<br /><br />How to go?<br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline">By chartered minivan</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Known by the locals as "<b>Travel</b>" is cheapest way to get there. The approximate price is about IDR 25,000/person for one way. The vehicle is a Honda Odyssey 2.4 minivan with a capacity of 7 seats. Keep in mind that the bus driver usually waits until the chair occupation is about 75%. Once the car is "full", the minivan will depart and take the passengers to their destination.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">DAMRI is the bus operator that goes to Padang (price $Rp 17.500) from there you can continue to Bukittinggi by minivan ("travel")for the price $Rp 15,000. Not recommended for those who don't want to stop at Padang. Several bus companies (such as ALS) run buses from Parapat near Danau Toba. The trip is very winding and rough, and takes approximately 15 hours. Be prepared for bus sickness, and to pay around 185,000 IDR (as of 2010). As the trip is uphill from Danau Toba, the one-way fare is more expensive this way than coming from the south. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Numerous buses go from Medan to Jakarta and stop on the way at Bukittinggi. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.m3nghua.com/MyGallery/images/my_photos/bukit_tinggi_trip/dsc00576.JPG" alt="" /><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"> A view from the top of another tower. Nice view~</div><p>Must See!</p><h3><span class="mw-headline">In town</span></h3> <p>Bukittinggi is a small town, so these places are within walking distance with each other (15-30 minute walk). </p> <ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Sianok Canyon</b> (Ngarai Sianok) and the <b>Japanese Caves</b> (Lubang Japang), a network of underground bunkers and tunnels built by the Japanese during World War II. There is a two-story observation tower that overlooks the Sianok Canyon. Ticket price: Rp4,000 (Aug 2009). During dusk you can observe megabats flying from the gorges to the forest in order to feed from the fruits on the trees. This is also a good place to get in contact with guides for tours such as to Lake Maninjau (see below) or jungle/hiking trips through the Canyon. </li><li><b>Fort de Kock</b>. A fort built by the Dutch (nothing is left, only a water reservoir is on top of the hill) and <b>Bundo Kanduang Park</b>. The park includes a replica Rumah Gadang (traditional house), used as a museum of Minangkabau culture (many curiosities, such as stuffed animals with two heads and six legs, model houses and traditional dresses, foreign currencies... entrance Fee an extra Rp 1000 [Aug 2009]), and a zoo with a few very sad Orang Utans, a few expired species which are still rotting in their cages, two obese bears - not exactly a example in modern animal keeping. The Dutch hilltop outpost Fort de Kock is connected to the zoo by the Limpapeh pedestrian overpass. Ticket price: Rp8,000 (Aug 2009), camera Rp100,000 (June 2008). </li><li><b>House of Bung Hatta</b> (the first Vice President of Indonesia). </li><li><b>Clock Tower</b> (Jam Gadang) </li></ul><p><br /></p>Visit Indonesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446820669197796506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677406719384572563.post-44989287572851825172011-01-16T08:40:00.000-08:002011-01-16T08:44:52.318-08:00Arborek Tourism Village Raja Ampat<div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://cdn.indonesia.travel/media/images/upload/arborek%201.jpg" alt="" align="left" border="0" height="210" hspace="7" vspace="4" width="300" />The village of Arborek is fast rising as a pioneer among the 18 beautiful villages in West Papua that have embarked on developing local regulations for community-based marine conservation, For this, the village of Arborek has gained an outstanding reputation among both the local authority and international community. With the assistance of the national and local government, from research centers, and non-government organizations, the local people have succeeded in formulating local regulations, naming their conservation region the Mambarayup and Indip.<br /><br /><br />Finding underwater beauty is not so difficult here. Along the Arborek pier, divers can simply plunge into the water and instantly find a most intriguing illumination of the glittering of a gorgonian fan just below the surface. People in Arborek are hospitable and very industrious, creating exceptional handicrafts from sea pandan leaves to make the most of their time each day. Arborek is fascinating both underwater and in the village.<br /><br />Known as the Arborek Tourism Village, the community is known for its handicraft in making hats and noken (string bags). Unlike most women in other villages who also give a hand to their husbands as fishermen, nearly all mothers in this village produce handicrafts for a living. Although they are convinced that catching lobsters and work in pearl agro-production are much more profitable, yet they feel that handicraft is more distinguished and more graceful work for women. This is a village worth visiting. Only one and half hours from Waisai, Raja Ampat’s capital, the village of Arborek is awaiting visitors from around the world.<br /></div>Visit Indonesiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446820669197796506noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677406719384572563.post-31310047176772103592011-01-16T08:08:00.000-08:002011-01-16T08:29:18.378-08:00Weather of Indonesia<img src="http://www.indonesiatravel.org.uk/images/weather-of-indonesia.jpg" alt="Weather of Indonesia" align="RIGHT" border="0" height="247" width="305" /><b>Weather & Climate of Indonesia</b> - Because of its proximity to equator, Indonesia has tropical climate. Generally, the weather is hot and humid. Indonesian climate is divided into two distinct seasons: dry and rainy seasons. Most of Indonesia has their rainy seasons from October through April, but certain places like Maluku have theirs from March to August. During the rainy season, rain starts around noon and lasts into the afternoon. Some areas can have sudden showers for more than two hours.<br /><br /><br /> The dry season does not mean that there are no rains. In fact tropical showers in a dry season's afternoon is a regular affair. The average annual precipitation is 1800mm. The temperature is almost constant except for the exceptionally rainy season's nights, when it can drop. The temperature on the coast is about 28° C Celsius and drops dramatically in the highlands.
