Knowledge Economy = Knowledge + Economy?

Knowledge Economy =

Knowledge + Economy?

Author : Evi Widiarti

Editor : William

Knowledge Economy, hmm……what kind is this? If separated knowledge and economy, knowledge its mean information about something and economy is always regarding to money, politic and company. So when these both of term have combined to be Knowledge Economy that’s still the same meaning? I think its May? (Maybe yes, maybe no..: D).

In my opinion, Knowledge Economy is a vague term, but I think knowledge is based on economy. In case of economy for people life. For example someone who has many knowledge, maybe they’re have high education or many experiences in their life, usually they have good economy (much money) than people who didn’t have many knowledge.

The basic of knowledge is language. We talk with other people used language. We learn something that we have to know about it with the language. For example, when we want to know about computer programming, we have to know about language program that computer can identify. Nowadays, the language is must have you can used, it is English. We cannot deny if English is become International language. When people wishing to improve their knowledge, their connection and their carrier, they have to understand about English. Its mean, good knowledge in English = good economy in your life?

Are all the people who used or born in English speaking country, whether economy have well in their life always?.

Hmm….not realy. I think its depends on of the people effort in their life and the fortune in their life. Many people in English speaking country are a poor people too. So, that’s mean we have to take action and have high effort to make our dream come true and have good economy in our life.

Some people say, knowledge is a prison and don’t know much is liberate. Because some people have many knowledge has feel afraid to do something and they just afraid to failed. But sometimes some people that don’t know much they more brave to try something. For example, Bill Gates he drop out from his University and decided to learn about computer and make some experiences and now it has been success. He isn’t much to know about computer before but he always learn again and again. And he never knows about in the future that he will become success person or not. And some people who has graduated from University sometimes afraid to begin to work or experiment because of thinks over and much plan, but not at all, its just some people.

What about your dreams? Become person with many knowledge and has brave heart to something in your life and have good economy in your life, or become person isn’t know much for anything? The choice was in you.

*The initial foundation for the Knowledge Economy was first introduced in 1966 in a book by Peter Drucker.

Build Your Own Business by Now


When you wishing to become a businessman or have own factory or company maybe you you have to start the business by now. What?! by now?!  

Its hearing so imposible to do, but thats its true you have to by now, even your business its very simple or small, size its doesn't matter. 

like a book that I review now. In Indonesia the entitled Punya Bisnis Sendiri Itu Nikmat, or if I transleting to english to be Have own Business its very enjoyable. This book Author by Netti Tinaprilla and Elang Ilik Martawijaya this both Author is a merriage couple, husband & wife.

In this book Netti & Elang write about tips to have own business, the mental attituted to succesfull business, True story about small business home based like food, craft, agrobusiness and services.

In Indonesia, the succesfull business icon, one of the icon is Mr. Bob Sadino. I think all the people in indonesia knew about him. and fortunately I meet him in a seminar to discuss about build own business in LIPI building - Bogor on March 16 2008.

Its very interesting, to hear the experience about his business and how to creat and starting the business. I cannot giving you the direct link about Mr. Bob Sadino but maybe you can google-him.

Back to the book, Netti & Elang try to write with the detail of business, like the based price of the material, cash flow etc.  I think this book is very relevan by now, actually Indonesia face the economic crisis and joblessness problem, have own business is a wisely  way out.

Netti & Elang think realistic to facing this situation and giving solution to joblessness problem in Indonesia. But build own business its seem like open the jungle, like you walking in the dark and you never know what happen on the later. Its need a fearless to start.

Review of Google Prenuer Book from the author Bob Julius Onggo


On Sunday Feb 17, I have bought a book in Gunung Agung Bogor Trade Mall, the book title is Google Preneur by Bob Julius Onggo. Well, I wish I can invest my money by buy this book because I realy need it. Yes, I need to upskill my knowledge about Internet marketing. I have plan to be Internet Marketer in 2-3 year later. So, I think I was taking a right way when I bought this book.

Mr. Bob write this book like he said in a seminar, so fast and straight to the point. I think for people when they are not friendly with internet its difficult enough to understood about this book, but if you often going to browsing internet you have to understood chapter by chapter.

For this time I think every people that have know internet, I trust they know about Google. Yes Google is celebrity in internet. Like Yahoo too booth of them the biggest search engine in internet. Every day many people searching in internet by Yahoo & Google. If you read in Mr. Bob website http://www.bjoconsulting.com/ he said when women from venus & men from Mars so now Women from Yahoo and Men from Google. Maybe someday Yahoo & Google will be merriage….hehehhe…

Back to the book, Mr Bob tells about how to increase the website to be high page rangking in Google or Yahoo also MSN with SEO (Search Engine Optimiser). And how to make our website can be in the first page ( Top 10) when the customers try to search our product in the internet. How?
He said, if we want to our website become top ten list in search engine, we have to submit the various keywords in our website. Yes! For 1 product may be you can find 100 or more keywords for called that product including if the customer write the wrong spelling in seach engine box. I think its very rasional to apply in our website.And then he explain too about the website that can help us to take SEO.

Generally, I take many information from this about, actually about my mindset if the real product can sell in internet its like a common strore in our real life. The product must be for company or corporate needs. So we can get order not one or two product but 100 item or more. He also give some sample the online store his own and that online store still survive and succeed until now even only promote in internet.

For further detail maybe you can visit his blog about this book at http://googlepreneur.blogspot.com/
He also give recommend regarding the website to optimize our website, they are:
http://www.alexa.com/ , http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/sofware/link-management/ , http://www.linkpopularity.com/ , http://marketleap.com/verivy/ , http://laxxo.comlinks/SEOToolset.htm , http://www.daxell.net/links/arelis.htm and more.


The perfection is only God’s own, eventhough generally this book is very good I think and a must have for people who wish to learn about Internet marketing, I disagree with his opinion on the back book cover. He said if the internet marketing is no needs money for first our invest. For learn Internet marketing needs a lot of money, for property like computer and then internet, electric, buy book literature and then our time,mind and our spirit to learn about Internet Marketing its needs more then a lot of money. When we have own store and we wish to promote to the internet we have to buy domain and bill to the hosting. And if we wish to shortcut to call a consultan to build our online store, we have to prepare alot of money too. I think the conclusion is never for free for everything, its needs a payment for all the things we needs in this world and for Internet marketing too.

Fuiih..I think I have written many words..ok I think enough, last but not least, This book is very good and I recommended for all people who wish to learn about internet marketing. When we have power knowledge about Internet marketing, to be rich is not Impossible anymore.

Have a great day!

Cheerzz..
