Andi Hope for Better Future

When the pace of big city lifestyle starts to get you down,  and you need a little holiday vacation in a more scenic, rural or adventurous setting , check out some of these great escapes in  living in one of exotic and low cost island in Indonesia, that is Batam island. Take a long weekend, or use a portion of your annual holiday leave to see more of this fascinating country that we expats are temporarily calling home.

Just imagine the air fares you’d be spending to get back to Indonesia again for holidays in the future! Many savvy tourism operators, recognizing the great pool of potential customers right here in-country, offer discounts to resident expatriates. Don’t get stuck in the big city , get out and see what Indonesian life is like in more laid back, traditional settings.

Batam island is a strange juxtaposition of being the island of the world’s largest Islamic country, but at the same time its nightlife is also one of the most vibrant in the Asia Pacific region. A nightlife district popular among single expats is Nagoya entertainment district, or just called NED, this compact district is bounded by the Melia Panorama, Goodway and Harmoni hotels. Lucy’s Oarhouse is easiest to find, turn left out of the Melia’s front entrance and walk 100m. The famous PP Banana GoGo is upstairs. Rio Rita is over the road. Turn right out Lucy’s front door and you can see the Jungle Bar, Classics, Red Cock, Bistro, Ice Pub and Steps Music Lounge.  McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and several money changers are in the same area.

Batam is one of the largest islands in the Riau archipelago, and not long ago it was just another poor island with coastal villages and unspoiled nature. In 1970s, the island underwent a major transformation from topologically forest area into a major harbor and industrial zone. Now is one of fastest growing tourist destinations in Indonesia in terms of visitor arrivals. It is only 40 minutes from Singapore with boat. Batam time is one hour ahead of Singapore. When you depart from Singapore harbor you are in Batam Center  in 45 to 60 minutes.

There are three places for you hanging out or exploring,  before heading back for a good night’s sleep :

1.  Karaoke

There are literally hundreds of karaoke bars located in almost every direction of Nagoya. It is very popular with Chinese and Singaporean, so most of the songs are in Chinese with some well-known English songs. Beside a large karaoke hall, many of them also provide private rooms for a group of three-to-eight people or more, an option to avoid bad singers in the open lounge who seem to think they are competing on Pop Idol. Below is the list to sample:

• Merlion Hotel                                    Location: Sriwijaya Road, Nagoya)
• Kompleks Cipta Utama                  Location: Near Center Point shopping centre
• Permata Indah                                  Location: Windsor Central, Nagoya
• Barong Karaoke                                Location: Puri Garden Hotel

2.  Nightclubs

Nightclubs or discotheques here usually play alternate between techno music and some up-to-date pop. Some places also have live bands, playing English, Indonesian, Chinese, and Singaporean songs. The nightclubs here open from 19:00 onwards and all get busy around midnight and run until 05:00. No strict dress-code although flip-flops are not allowed for clubbers’ own safety. Below is the list of some famous clubs for all party animals:

• Ice Pub                                                Location:Near Mandarin Regency Hotel
• Jungle Diskotik                                Location: Komp. Batam Plaza
• Ozon Discotheque                           Location: Bromo Komp, Baloi Indah
• Planet Ozon Discotheque             Location: Raja Ali Haji Road

3.  Massage Parlours

There are many massage centers that are reputable establishments that offer a professional massage service. Then again there are plenty of the dodgy massage parlours  that will give you a massage and depending on the girl, will offer you that happy ending you may want. There are several massage parlors in the bar district behind Harmoni Hotel which do offer the cheaper massage service like this. An hour massage can be as low as 75,000Rp ( about US$8) though the girls will generally ask for another 200,000Rp (about US$22)  for the happy ending or some call it a sensual massage and with most things in Indonesia a bit of bargaining can bring the price down. Below is the list of some famous massage parlours which I put ranking from 1 (for the  ”clean” massage without additional) to 10 (being the tendency  to get massage with additional service) :

• Rank 1    Sport Massage    Location: Near Goodway Hotel
• Rank 2    Sawadika              Location: Next to Top 100 Penuin
• Rank 3    Puri Garden Massage    Location: Puri Garden Hotel
• Rank 4    Indo Thai    Location: Penuin Traditional Market
• Rank 5    Pas Massage    Location: Near Newton area
• Rank 6    Flower    Location: Newton area
• Rank 7   Beauty Moon   Location: Behind Harmony
• Rank 8   Fortune   Location: Newton area
• Rank 9   Moonlight   Location: Beside of Pujabahari Market, Nagoya
• Rank 10   Queens   Location: Centre Point Nagoya

Imagine a home business you can learn in a few weeks, commit a few hundred dollars and have the potential for huge gains -this is the ultimate home business and the good news is anyone can achieve success with it.

Many traders see the net as a road to riches and spend time building sites and trying to make money with PPC and ad words which pay cents or selling affiliate products that never sell. There is an easier way…

It’s becoming a currency trader online – Hang on!

I couldn’t be a currency trader it’s to hard and to expensive you may say – well hang with me it’s neither. Consider the advantages and the huge advantage at the end of this list.

- You can learn the basics in around 2 weeks

- You don’t need a college education anyone can do it

- You only need a computer and an internet connection

- Profit opportunities emerge everyday

- It only takes 30 minutes a day to run

- You can get started with a few hundred dollars

- You can leverage your deposit 200 times put down $500 and you get to trade $100,000.

The last advantage is why this business is so appealing – you can trade more than you have and leverage your deposit. Of course this is a double edged sword while profits can be high so to can risk. However if you learn to cut your losses and run your profits, you can make a lot of money and ANYONE can learn the skills needed.

Now let me tell you an inspiring story.

In the eighties well known trader Richard Dennis set out to prove anyone could become a successful trader. He gathered a group of people together of all ages, varying levels of education and both sexes and set about teaching them to trade in just 14 days – then he gave them accounts.

So what was the result of this experiment?

The result was they grossed $100 million dollars in 4 years and many went on to become trading legends.

Now I am not saying you will become as rich as this group – but it proved one point:

Anyone can learn with the right education and make money and that applies to you.

There is another fact we need to throw in – making money is not “a walk in the park” where there are big gains to be made as well all know, you need certain skills and let me dwell on the experiment and stress one key point.

Dennis taught his students a method – but he taught them something more – to have confidence and discipline in what they were doing, so that they could follow the method through periods of losses to overall profits.

Discipline is the key to success in many areas of life and it’s critical in currency trading.

You must have the discipline to cut your losses and run your profits and take advantage of leverage.

The way to do this is to study forex charts and simply spot repetitive price formations and lock into profits and hold them and cut losses quickly – this can be learned by anyone.

Learning currency trading can be done by anyone but relies on the right mindset as well as method.

If however you have a desire to succeed and you work smart and get the right education you can achieve this.

It’s a challenge that’s for sure – but if you like a challenge and a business that really can produce a life changing income, then if you accept the challenge with the right attitude and get the right education you can win and make money in the best home business for profits – Now doesn’t that sound better than PPC, Ad words or affiliate sites?

After doing your do diligence and deciding on a internet or home business that is right for you. How do you bring customers to your business? Obviously, if nobody visits (traffic) your website or business, you won’t make any sales. No traffic, No Sales, No Money. If you have a huge advertising budget, you can pay to have ads written and placed in both the online and offline markets for you. This is the same as paying an advertising agency to market your product; most of us don’t have that luxury. There are numerous outlets in which to place your ads to drive potential customers, classified ads, pay per click, solo ezine ads, affiliate programs, opt-in email lists just to name a few. These are all excellent options and all cost money. Yes, you will have to spend some money to advertise. There are some free options that you can incorporate into your campaign, but those should be used as a supplement to your paid campaigns. Free ads are great, and can generate some sales, in the end you get what you pay for. First and foremost, set an advertising budget. If you only have $300 to spend, you better spend it wisely and in a campaign that has some longevity. Longevity can be that the Ad is placed in a market where it is seen for several days or weeks. But more importantly, your potential customers must be driven to a customer or potential customer database. On the internet, it is called an opt-in page. This will give you an opportunity to reach those prospects for months or years to come with sales, new products, news letters, ect. If you don’t build a customer database, you are throwing your advertising money out the window. Those who buy from you now, will probably buy from you later. Those who just browsed your business, may become a customer in the future; Let them forget about you, they may find somewhere else to purchase their products from. Here’s two Free advertising ideas for your business. Craigs List: Go to craigslist.com and post your products or business offering in the classified section. Talk about longevity, your posts stay on for 30-45 days and it costs you nothing. There are for hire companies that will create and or post your ad for you regularly in multiple cities (but then it’s not free, Maybe pretty cheap though). Social Networks: Create a Myspace and or face book page. Myspace even has a classified advertising section. If you are not familiar with these social networking sites, get familiar. On these sites you can upload personal video and pictures, link websites and create blogs about you, your product and business. It costs you nothing other than a little time. Be consistent with your advertising and if something isn’t working, change it. It may just be the headline in your ad or it may be where you are advertising. You wouldn’t want to advertise toy dolls for sale in a men’s magazine. Bottom line is you must advertise, just because you built it doesn’t mean they will come. In our next article we will provide you with some paid advertising ideas. Stay focused and the joy of prosperity will be yours!
