A weblog or what is known as blog, is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser. Darren Rowse from problogger.net make the definition simple for us. According to him a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. In short blog just another website that update frequently and the recent news placed on the top.
Nowadays there are a lot of blog provider that offer blog activity to their user. This blog is hosted at blogger.com. It is a free of charge service where you can create IF you have Google account a.k.a gmail account. Other popular platform is wordpress. As far as I know both platform are globally used by people to blog. Both blogger and wordspress are free service but both of them have different advantages.
According to its usage blogger use their blog to write their daily stories to share to other people, or write about their hobby, or, if the blogger happen to be sales person or a marketer, the blog is used to generated more sales to their products. It became lifestyle then. Many bloggers become interested in what it call monetizing their blogs. Companies saw this opportunity to increase the sale of their products. Webblog that have hundreds even thousands of viewers (now followers) are given mutual benefits by the company to gain profits from their traffic. As people tend to use Google to search everything they need the search engine then develop their business to advertise products. Adwords then came to be the weapon and Adsense came next.
Personally I use blogger, multiply and wordpress platforms to blog. Two of them have general topic, and This one mainly focus to share my knowledge of internet marketing. There are tons of articles of how to make money from home in the internet. You may search it in google, bing, yahoo, or baidu.

All business, including using the MLM system in the literature on the Islamic sharia, basically categorized in mu'amalat discussion in the chapter Al-Jabal '(Sell-Buy). The legal origin of the legal aspects of selling-purchasing in the principle is based on fiqih as suggested by Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jauziyah, "Basically, all the religious law forbidden unless there is a proposition that orderred , while the origin of law and mu'amalah transaction is lawful unless there is a proposition that melarangnya." (See I'lamul Muwaqi'in 1 / 344). It certainly made for the business to meet the elements of sharia that is free from unlawful elements are;
Usury (Interest-Based Financial Transactions); LOL. said: "He shalallahu 'alahi wasallam said:" Aba has seventy-three-door is the most minor sins such as adultery with someone who's own mother "(HR. Ahmad 15/69/230, see Shahihul Jami 3375)
Gharar (Contract is not complete and obviously); From Kareena pleased. said: "He shalallahu 'alahi wasallam prohibit the sale and purchase gharar." (Agnostic HR.)
Fraud (Tadlis / Ghisy); From Kareena pleased. said: "He shalallahu 'alahi wasallam pass someone who sells food, he entered the food on hand, he was misguided. But he said: "It including among our people who deceive." (HR. Muslim 1/99/102, Abu Dawud 3435, Ibn Majah 2224)
Gambling (or Maysir High speculative transactions that are not associated with the Real Productivity); Allah Ta'ala: "O people believe, indeed, drinks khamr, dice, sacrifice for the gods, on the fates, the act is syaithan it distracts." (QS . Al-Maidah: 90)
Kedhaliman and exploitative (Dzulm). Word of God: "O those who believe, do not eat each other neighbor's property by way of falsehood ..." (QS. An-Nisaa: 29)
Goods / Services that are sold are or contain the sacred. From Ibn 'Abbas ra. said: "He shalallahu 'alahi wasallam said:" Verily, Allah forbid, when over a nation to eat something, then he would forbid price. " (HR. Abu Dawud and Baihaqi with new sanad)
(Lihat Majmu’ Fatawa Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah, Zadul Ma’ad Imam Ibnul Qayyim 5/746, Al-Burnu, Al-Wajiz fi Idhah Qawa’id Al-Fiqh, hal. 191, 197, Asy-Syaukani, Irsyadul Fuhul, hal. 286, As-Suyuthi, Al-Asybah wan Nadzair, hal.60).
Allah SWT. berfirman: “Allah menghalalkan jual beli dan mengharamkan riba” (QS.Al-Baaqarah:275), “Tolong menolonglah atas kebaikan dan taqwa dan jangan tolong menolong atas dosa dan permusuhan.” (QS.Al-Maidah:2) Sabda Rasulullah saw: “Perdagangan itu atas dasar sama-sama ridha.” (HR.al-Baihaqi dan Ibnu Majah), “Umat Islam terikat dengan persyaratan yang mereka buka.” (HR.Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Hakim).
The issue of business MLM asked about the legal status of lawful and unlawful status-syubhatnya can not be beaten flat. Can not be determined by the incoming company is not in the membership APLI (Direct Seller Association of Indonesia), including a unilateral claim by the MLM company Sharia because there must be evidence and guarantor of sharia, or sharia, or kehalalannya certificate that can diperftanggungjawabkan such as the MUI, but depending on the extent to which in practice management systems, marketing, and operational activities of goods / services that are sold after a through study and research according to sharia. According to the notes APLI, there are currently more than 200 companies are using an MLM system, and each has characteristics, specifications, patterns, systems and models which are a basic individual MLM companies that were considered lawful or unlawful.
Since its entry into Indonesia in around an 80-year, the network business Direct Sales (Direct Selling) MLM, continue to bloom and fertile mushroom and would increase again after the storm monetary and economic crisis. Players who dive in the world MLM that momentum and take advantage of the crisis situation offers solutions for the business of foreign and local players. Often called the community including CNI, Amway, Avon, Tupperware, Sun Chlorella, DXN, Propolis Gold, Kamyabi-Net, Persada Network, including the Civil ask Tianshi even wear a mask that MLM business in the money game (multiplication of money), which eventually go bankrupt as Gee Cosmos. It shows that the MLM business are much more of them among the population, given the huge reach 200 million. Imagine if the average monthly spending at least Rp 10 per thousand inhabitants, the transaction will occur and the amount of money turnaround Rp.2 trillion a month.
MLM Business in this study fiqih contemporary can be reviewed from two aspects; products or services that are sold and how the system or sales and marketing (trading / marketing). About the products sold, whether lawful or unlawful content depending on whether there are elements to the composition and the sharia, or not, as well as services that are sold. For example, does the elements contained in pigs, khamr, carrion, blood, pornography and Pornoaction, kemaksiatan, gambling. More easily the most products can be referred to the sertivikasi penny from the LP-Food And Drug Control MUI, and a certificate from the Halal Certification Board of the State of the LP-accredited by the Food And Drug Control MUI such as the Islamic Food and Nutrition of America (IFANCA), although the product is not lawful disertivikasi is not necessarily illegal depending on the content.
The company does business with the MLM system is not only running the sales products but also services products, marketing services, namely the berlevel-level (stratified) with the benefits form of marketing fees, bonuses and so forth depending on the level, the achievement of sales and distributor of membership status. Intermediary services sales this (factor) in Term fiqih called "Samsarah / simsar" is the intermediary trade (people who sell goods or find buyers) or intermediaries between buyers and sellers to facilitate trading. (Sayyid Sabiq, fiqh As-Sunnah, vol. III/159)
Begin a Free Internet Business
Tempted by the title? I have read this message over and over and I really tempted by it. How couldn’t I? Internet is making a hundreds billions of users every day. And you only work for two or three hours a day. I do not know about you guys but for me, working 6 hours a day sometimes makes me bored. Even if the job is what you like or what you have dreamed of. We are mere human being after all. If I skipped from work my salary get cut. How troublesome.
However the first question pop up in my mind is how can I start an internet business?
I looked for information on the net. I only use google to search information. And I got tons of it. Emarketingman.com for example, provides with information how to start this business. To start internet based business, this site tells me, believe that somebody that like to start an internet business have to have a website. You do not have to be an experienced or skilled in web designer. A lot of websites have provided an easy way to build your own web. Well that my amateur opinion. http://sitesell.com/ however have a more deeper explanation. One of the statement said “Why Just Build A Site When You Could Build A Business?” provocative’s isn’t? But for me it is better to have a website first than build a business. The reason is I do not have products to sell, except for this ungrammatical writing. (btw if you do not have a product to sell you still can begin business on internet). So from my point of view it is better to build a website first than to build a business. If you ask me the reason, well, it almost just like a question “which is the first chicken or eggs?” it will not make you start an action but make you trapped in satan cycle of debates.
To build a website, you need a host and a domain. Domain is the web address that browser and search engine recognize your website. A host is like a house. This is the place where you put your images, script, etc that will support your website performance.
Well you find an article about website from a newbie so that what I summed up from the reading that I read.
One of hosting and domain provider is http://bravenet.com/ this sites is not only support hosting and domain, it also provide you to choose of what web service you want. If you still a newbie like me this site gives tutorial of how things work. You can learn HTML and CSS, tables, forms, and things about FTPs. However I highly recommend w3school because blogger.com recommend this site. In this website you can learn about HTML, CSS, XML, and other website related stuffs. And its free. if you want a certificate from this school than you have to pay for it quizzes and sertificate.
If you only want a domain name than you perhaps trying co.cc. This sites serve a domain name only and its free. This site is useful if you have a low budget to start your own website. And you will also need 000webhost.com. This sites offers a free hosting service. If you have perfect bills you can upgrade to their unlimited services.
Well if you want to sign up or read a bit more about those hosting and domain site just click it.
What is the different between these hosts?
I do not read to those articles yet, but if you happen to find a good article about the best webhosting and domain services let me know. Thanks.
Oh I almost forgot. You also want to try weblogs. They can be your backup plan to begin your own internet based business. There are a lot of blog provider in the net. The most recognize are blogger, wordpress, typepad, etc. I happen to choose blogger and wordpress as my blogs because they are serving free blogs. I love free things you know, how about you?
Five Kinds of Successful Online Businesses
If you're seriously considering starting an online business, it makes sense that you would want to choose something that's going to do well right from the start. When you're investing time and money in your business, it would help to know if you're setting yourself up for failure or for success. Here are five different kinds of online businesses that have proven to be a hit with customers. Perhaps you can find your perfect business idea here too.
Health and Weight Loss
Everyone either wants to lose weight or wants to improve their health. We're a society that wants to take care of our bodies and if we look good at the same time, that's all the better. If you want to start an online business, you might want to focus on ways to help people lose weight or simply to improve their health. You can do this by offering fitness and health related products on your website or perhaps by offering eBooks that will help them make better health decisions. Try to find something that relates to a question or a concern a person has about their health - and then you have a viable and profitable business plan.
Beauty
While it used to be that beauty was something that only women talked about, that certainly isn't the case any longer. That said, women are still the consumer group that is much more likely to invest in makeup and skin care products, though men too are looking to improve their appearance. With anti aging face products, both genders can begin to reclaim their youthful appearance, which will help them feel more confident in any setting. Selling high quality makeup products and helping customers with their choices is a great business plan, as it allows customers to have the department store experience from the comfort of their home.
Exercise and Sports
But weight loss isn't the only concern with it comes to health for customers. Exercise and sports are other areas where you can make a profit with your online business. For example, selling sporting equipment or products related to sports fans is still a big business. When you work with the team and their product line, you will be able to access thousands of fans who want to support their team with licensed products.
Fashion
Of course, fashion is still a hot seller, no matter where you are. If you can present high quality fashions on your website, you will attract not only the teenaged sector, but also those in their twenties and thirties - of both genders. Look to celebrity and gossip magazines to show you what's hot and what's not and then look for a vendor that sells the same or similar items that you can them turn around to sell for a profit.
Low Price Goods
No matter what you choose to add to your website, if you can sell products available on other sites for a much lower price, you are going to do well. This goes for fashion, beauty, exercise, sports, etc. If you can find high quality products that can be sold at much lower prices, you will draw in many more customers than you could have with higher priced goods. For example, if you can find a way to sell organic goods and clothing for much cheaper than healthy food specialty stores, you can help those that want to be healthier, but can't afford the higher prices of other stores.
No matter what you choose, try at first to think of things that you yourself might want to buy online - chances are good that you're not the only one.

Free Hosting and Domain
Are you tired with your blog??? Do you intend to have more freedom to manage your content? Well I have the answer....
When browsing aimlessly in the jungle of internet, I found nice article in Indonesia to get our own domain and hosting free..
However the domain and hosting sites are different. Free domain on co.cc and free hosting on 000webhost.com.
I'm beginning to excite. My own web. That my dream. It will not the same as blog. I could make money from that. Those are my own thought. So here are the steps to own both domain and hosting sites free:
1. log on to www.co.cc
2. click on register
3. fill the forms and click create my account now.
It so easy don't you think??
The account activation will be sent to your email. After you activated your account you will be redirected to you co.cc account. You may check your email later on.
4. choose your own domain then check it availablity. If your domain name is available continue with setup.
5. choose how you manage your own domain.
co.cc offered three type of managing domain. The first one is manage DNS, when you host your file in 000webhost.com your will given a server name that is required for dns server that asked by co.cc. The second one is Zone Record. It required your host, ttl, type, and value. What are these?? well, i never had a chance to try this kind of domain management. So I suggest you guys find it... and let me know ^__^
The third one is URL fowarding. I would recomend this type of service if you just want to change your domain name for your blog. IT is very simple. Fill your blog name in url fowarding then it will redirect it to your weblog.
As for me I choose dns managing, cause I want to learn of how to make a website using my own domain and hosting. The goal is to MAKE BUSINESS in my neighbourhood.
After you have own your own domain then go to 000webhost.com. Sign up there, and just like another step it just fill forms and your hosting site is ready. The different is when you have complited the registration and you clicked the I agree and Create My Account, the server will sent you a program that generated your account validation code. Since you have entered your activation code you can directly create your account.
6. when you create an account for hosting in 000webhost there are two ways of doing it. the first one is connected to what I have explained earlier that is hosting with your own domain. In this case you will put your own free domain name from co.cc.
The second one well lets say it almost the same as blog. You will create an account as a subdomain of 000webhost, altought it not really bad actually.
7. Wait for at least two days so that those websites connected each other
