DOA & THE POWER OF ATTRACTION
Semua Orang pasti tahu & sadar, ketika berdo'a akan mendapatkan ganjaran balik (The Power of Attraction).
Berdo'a untuk semua orang pada pengucapan do'a awal merupakan cara terbaik untuk mengharapkan vibrasi sejumlah orang yang dido'a kan.
Umat Islam pada khususnya pemimpin Do'a berjamaah selalu ucapkan Do'a pada awal, Ya ALLAH .. ampunilah segala kekhilafan umat muslim & muslimat (tentunya seluruh dunia), dst.
Anda tahu berapa jumlah muslim & muslimat seluruh dunia? dan bahkan jumlah umat manusi yang meng-esa-kan TUHAN? .. THE POWER OF ATTRACTION akan bermain!

Bukankah 99 Asmaul Husna disebutkan pertama bahwa ALLAH SWT adalah AR-RAHMAN (MAHA PENGASIH) ? #SelarasON

Enam Bagian Waktu SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
Sobat DIGITAL, ada 6 (enam) bagian waktu "SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT". Dapat juga diterapkan pada Media Digital lainnya, seperti Blogging.
Bagian waktu pertama adalah IDEA (termasuk Strategi tentunya). Bagian kedua, CREATE dan ketiga adalah PUBLISH.
Tidak hanya sampai pada PUBLISH lalu Sobat DIGITAL tinggal pergi (Hit & Run). Bagian waktu keempat adalah ENGAGE, bagaimana waktu Anda curahkan untuk berinteraksi dengan Audience, ada pada bagian ini.
Lalu bagian kelima adalah ANALYZE. Pada bagian ini, Sobat DIGITAL dapat mengukur tingkat engagement dan metrics lainnya.
Terakhir, bagian keenam adalah REPEAT, ulangi lagi dengan IDEA baru berdasarkan ANALYZE sebelumnya.
"Ada dua kenikmatan yang kebanyakan manusia tertipu karena keduanya: kenikmatan kesehatan dan kesempatan (waktu luang), HR. Al-Bukhari" ..
Sobat DIGITAL, gunakanlah waktu sebaik mungkin!

Terima kasih Pak Nicho, as usual, Pemaparan yang selalu mencerahkan Kita semua 💪💪💪😃😃..
Kompassers Nusantara, menarik apa yang disampaikan Pak Nicho barusan, pada LEVEL 5 AMBITION sangat relevan dgn situasi COVID-19 PANDEMIC .. terus berjuang & berkarya!!

Terima kasih Pak Bobby @KOMPASS "Bobby Meidrie" , sungguh Pemaparan yang mencerahkan Kita semua, kereeen TOP 💪💪💪😃😃..
Kompassers Nusantara, seperti yang disampaikan Pak Bobby barusan, prinsip FOLLOWERSHIP sangatlah berperan untuk CREATE THE NEXT LEADER, tentu saja mencapai STAR terlebih dahulu dengan CRITICAL THINKING nya & PARTICIPATION ..
Pada dasarnya Kita harus ADAPTIVE terlebih dahulu atawa menerima "keinginan" kelompok and then sampai ke CREATIVE, menciptakan standar nilai sendiri based on perjalanan ADAPTIVE tadi ..
Sekali lagi terima kasih banyak Pak Bobby, SEHAT & SUKSES selalu buat Pak Bobby & Keluarga tercinta di rumah..
BERKAH BERLIMPAH selalu menyertai .. Aamiin 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏😊

SEO dan GROWTH HACKING
Sedikit cerita mengenai SEO (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION) dengan LBO (Local Business Optimization) atau disebut LOCALIZATION/LOCAL BUSINESS/LOCAL SEO yang bisa diterapkan untuk semua BISNIS..
LBO-SEO adalah teknik lawas yang banyak dipakai Pakar Digital Marketer Dunia, dan saat ini menjadi teknik paling ampuh dibanding teknik digital marketing lain .. memang agak sulit teknik ini, tapi bisa bertahan lama terus menerus (asalkan Domain/Hosting) dibayar pertahun .. mengapa agak sulit? karena digital marketer harus pantau terus algoritma google, dimana kiranya "growth hacking" dapat dilakukan supaya bisa bertahan "abadi"..
Dan mengapa dipilih teknik yang bisa bertahan "abadi"?, karena banyak Pebisnis sekarang lakukan penghematan biaya marketing mengingat FB Ads maupun IG Ads menjadi sangat mahal, semua orang terjun ke Online karena Offline menjadi tidak relevan lagi (berlaku hukum supply & demand & new normal yang meluluhlantakkan Pebisnis Offline)..
Beriklan sosmed sangatlah mudah asal ada anggaran yang buanyaaak, but FB Ads dan Ads lain hanya bercokol pada saat campaign aja (Kick & Run Method)..
Optimasi Sosmed hanya untuk boosting atau "second platform" mengingat Sosmed bakal bisa tumbang alias postingan Kita bertahun2 akan seketika lenyap sirna , contohnya Google+ sudah tumbang, path, friendster, Myspace dl..
Pada dasarnya, siapa yang lebih dulu lakukan teknik LBO-SEO, itulah pemenangnya, menjadi AUTHORITY dibanding Pesaing..
Orang dengan mudahnya meniru metode BISNIS (tinggal ATM aja, amati-tiru-modifikasi)..
Misalnya ada Cafe "Pelopor" didalam suatu Kota dengan fisolofi yang ciamik, tiba2 ada Cafe "Peniru"! dan ketika Cafe "Peniru" lebih dahulu lakukan ONLINE PRESENCE dengan teknik LBO-SEO ketika itu pula ada OPPORTUNITY LOST pada Cafe "Pelopor" dan Cafe "Pelopor" akan sulit mengejar, GOOGLE lebih dahulu LOVE ke Cafe "peniru"..
Bahkan Cafe "Pelopor" bisa luluhlantak karena tidak ada "SEO TRUST" pada media DIGITAL!
Customer baru dan customer lama Cafe "Pelopor" akan tersedot ke Cafe "Peniru"..
Actually Teknik LBO-SEO adalah teknik Para "Buzzer" hahaha ... karena ada growth hacking disana, bagaimana optimisasi dilakukan terus menerus, konsisten terus..
"Buzzer" tentu saja bisa positif kalau untuk jual produk yang diinginkan Customer ... INBOUND MARKETING sangatlah intens pada teknik LBO-SEO...
So, bagaimana "Buzzer" bisa menguasai satu topik tertentu? yaa dengan teknik LBO-SEO!! ..
But GROWTH HACKING gak melulu DIGITAL.. GROWTH HACKING adalah salah satu teknik MARKETING .. dengan biaya rendah, Anda bisa HACK bagian mana saja dengan tujuan CUSTOMER ACQUISITION COST & LIVE TIME VALUE OF CUSTOMER miliki rasio yang optimal!!!..

Program KLINIK KOMPASS Nusantara 28 Mei 2020
Berikut ini adalah tanggapan (resume) by Idham Azhari pada Program KLINIK KOMPASS Nusantara 28 Mei 2020 ..
Terima kasih Bu Dokter Maria, as usual, Pemaparan Bu Dokter selalu disampaikan dengan menarik & mencerahkan Kita semua 💪💪💪😃😃..
Kompassers Nusantara, seperti yang disampaikan Bu Dokter Maria, saat ini layaknya seperti "bayi kembar siam", maju kena mundur kena (film legendaris warkop dki 😁😁) .. pastinya mesti ada pilihan yang mesti Kita ambil untuk hadapi NEW NORMAL/POST NORMAL/APAPUN ITU "NORMAL" ..
Kunci keberhasilan adalah DISIPLIN DIRI, disiplin Memakai Masker, disiplin cuci tangan dengan sabun & air mengalir, disiplin lakukan physical distancing agar supaya mata-rantai COVID-19 cepat putus ..
DISIPLIN DIRI harus "dipaksakan" agar terbentuk KESADARAN KOLEKTIF ..
Contohnya, bagaimana setelah peristiwa 9-11, Kita dipaksakan untuk membuka ikat pinggang, membuka jaket, bahkan gadget ikut dipreteli ketika lewat pintu pemeriksaan .. dan akhirnya terbentuk KESADARAN KOLEKTIF .. kata pepatah-petitih Minang: ALAH BISA KARENA BIASA (kita bisa karena sudah terbiasa) ..
Atau ketika saya bekerja di Japanese Manufacturing Company, istirahat dibatasi jam nya, bel pertama sudah berjalan menuju office, bel kedua sudah berada di office, akhir nya terbiasa dgn DISIPLIN DIRI karena dilakukan bertahun2 ..
Sekali lagi, DISPLIN DIRI harus dipaksakan, saat ini Kita seperti dimasukkan kedalam "black hole" untuk dapatkan BIG BANG DISIPLIN DIRI .. tentunya baik buat diri Kita sendiri dan Negara yang Kita cintai .. semoga badai Covid-19 cepat berlalu ..
Sekali lagi terima kasih banyak Bu Dokter Maria, SEHAT & SUKSES selalu buat Bu Dokter Maria & Keluarga .. BERKAH BERLIMPAH selalu menyertai ..
Aamiin yaa robbal'alamiin 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏😊

New Normal, Post Normal, Post COVID-19?!
Memang sedang TREN ? atau benar adanya akan terjadi atau mungkin secara tidak sadar sudah Kita alami ..
COVID-19 PANDEMIC tentu saja membawa HIKMAH dibalik "penderitaan dunia" didalamnya ..
Secara tidak sadar Kita sudah sering lakukan BELANJA ONLINE, BELAJAR ONLINE dst yang menggunakan MEDIA DIGITAL ..
Ini adalah akibat kebijakan LOCKDOWN , PSBB (Indonesia), apapun itu namanya yang "memaksa" Kita untuk berdiam diri di rumah dalam jangka waktu tertentu..
And then.. perilaku Kita sudah berubah terhadap bersosialisasi atau ketika keluar rumah, memakai Masker, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, selalu cuci tangan dengan air mengalir berikut sabun ..
Dst berkaitan dengan asupan gizi, cara bekerja/beraktivitas diluar rumah ..
Siap atau tidak siaap, Anda harus siaap, ALAM SEMESTA "memaksa" untuk lakukan NEW NORMAL/POST NORMAL!

RightHand Robotics debuts a new pick and place system
RightHand Robotics debuts a new pick and place system
Reliable pick and place systems have long been a kind of Holy Grail among industrial robotics. The job of moving products in and out of bins is high among the jobs that many warehouse and fulfillment centers are looking to automate.
For a few years now, RightHand Robotics has been one of the more exciting startups in the space. The company has managed to drum up $34 million in funding from investors like Menlo Ventures, GV and Playground Global.

This Hong Kong Startup Uses Technology To Change Everyday Grocery Shopping
This Hong Kong Startup Uses Technology To Change Everyday Grocery Shopping
Despite being one of the financial capitals of the world, Hong Kong has traditionally lagged when it comes to cultivating game-changing startups. Among the list of reasons for this includes the high cost of living, lack of government support and an immature ecosystem to retain talent. One commonly overlooked deterrent is the fact that Hong Kong, by most world standards, is already highly efficient—there simply aren't many outstanding problems that need solving. Real estate developer-turned-entrepreneur Clarence Ling was fully aware of the challenges that Hong Kong presents for an aspiring startup founder, but instead of leaving the city he stayed and took on the challenge.
"Hong Kong people, in general, in my point of view, are still stuck in the era of our most glorious days—back in the '80s, '90s, even 2000s. And most successful people are from real estate and finance in Hong Kong. The younger kids, teenagers, they have someone new to look up to—be in Pony Ma, Jack Ma from China or Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk—in Hong Kong, we're still talking about Li Ka-shing. It hurts me."
Ling, is the cofounder and chief development officer of Ztore, a Hong Kong-based e-commerce startup selling groceries. Ling has a broad entrepreneurial and investing background. Apart from managing Kwai Hung Group, a private property development company, he's also helped dozens of overseas companies to expand in Asia, and he's also an active investor in more than 20 startups globally, including Lalamove, which is either at or close to becoming a unicorn.
Unconventional beginnings in a well developed niche
In late 2014, after recognizing that the B2C landscape in Hong Kong was reaching a tipping point, Ling and his cofounder stumbled upon a Singaporean e-commerce company called RedMart. Ling immediately recognized that the websites of the traditional brick-and-mortar grocers in Hong Kong were antiquated at best and in dire need of an upgrade. Despite pushback from friends and family, he decided to press forward and jump headfirst into launching Ztore.
"Rental in Hong Kong is very, very expensive, compared to Singapore," Ling says. "A lot of investors actually were quite shocked that we chose an online supermarket as an entry point rather than doing electronics or fashion—these with much higher margins. But we thought if we wanted to change the customer behavior, we had to pick something that affects Hong Kong people's daily lives."...

How to Analyze the Cause of a Ranking Crash
How to Analyze the Cause of a Ranking Crash
In 2012, I had a large client that was ranked in the top position for most of the terms that mattered to them.
And then, overnight, their ranking and traffic dropped like a rock.
Have you ever experienced this? If so, you know exactly how it feels.
The initial shock is followed by the nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach as you contemplated how it will affect your business or how you'll explain it to your client.
After that is the frenzied analysis to figure out what caused the drop and hopefully fix it before it causes too much damage.
In this case, we didn't need Sherlock Holmes to figure out what happened. My client had insisted that we do whatever it took to get them to rank quickly. The timeframe they wanted was not months, but weeks, in a fairly competitive niche.
If you've been involved in SEO for a while, you probably already know what's about to go down here.
The only way to rank in the timeline they wanted was to use tactics that violated Google's Webmaster Guidelines. While this was risky, it often worked. At least before Google released their Penguin update in April 2012.
Despite my clearly explaining the risks, my client demanded that we do whatever it took. So that's what we did.
When their ranking predictably tanked, we weren't surprised. Neither was my client. And they weren't upset because we explained the rules and the consequences of breaking those rules.
They weren't happy that they had to start over, but the profits they reaped leading up to that more than made up for it. It was a classic risk vs. reward scenario.
Unfortunately, most problems aren't this easy to diagnose. Especially when you haven't knowingly violated any of Google's ever-growing list of rules
In this article, you'll learn some ways you can diagnose and analyze a drop in ranking and traffic...

In today's noisy, fast-paced world, finding a way to let clients and potential customers know that they are top of mind can be a major challenge for companies.

Can Blockchain Technology Make Agriculture Safer?
Can Blockchain Technology Make Agriculture Safer?
Most of what we've heard about blockchain technology has been in the realm of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. But this new technology will have wide-ranging business applications as true peer-to-peer networks become more widespread.
Smart contracts built on blockchain technology may eliminate the need for middlemen. Energy grids could use that tech to increase cybersecurity. And aerospace suppliers look to blockchain as a potential investment in keeping track of their supply lines and boosting efficiencies.
But perhaps one of the most unexpected – and impactful – applications of blockchain may be in agriculture.
Blockchains could ensure vegetable quality
The blockchain is a byproduct of Bitcoin, but its application range is infinite. Blockchain can have a significant impact beyond the internet, and it is likely the concept will be applied to all industries in the future. One example of this potential is in quality assurance – a process all businesses must contend with.
An active example of the impact of blockchain technology on agriculture is the increase in traceability of agricultural products. In Aya-cho, Higashi Morokata-gun, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, demonstration experiments are being carried out using blockchain technology to assure the quality of organic agricultural products. The data recorded includes who farmed the product, condition of the soil, nature of the pesticides and production environment. This proves the quality of the product. Agriculture experts are taking notice of these products, too, which trade at almost twice the market price due to the spotlight on them.

Exclusive: Your brain is lying to you about Super Bowl ads. This neuroscientist can prove it
Exclusive: Your brain is lying to you about Super Bowl ads. This neuroscientist can prove it
The best commercial of the 2018 Super Bowl according to the almighty USA Today Ad Meter was Amazon's "Alexa Loses Her Voice," a hilarious look at what might happen if certain celebrities were given free reign to voice the digital assistant. The Ad Meter, which for many CMOs is the only measurement that counts, is based on public votes. You liked it. I liked it. We all liked it.
Or did we?
Paul Zak, PhD, cofounder and CEO of Immersion Neuroscience, says there's a big difference between the Super Bowl commercials we say we love, and the ones our brains actually love, that we'll remember, and will most likely lead us to actually buying the product.
Which is, uh, kind of the whole point...
