Strategi Menulis Buku Best Seller
Hampir sepanjang waktunya terkuras untuk berkomunikasi dalam bahasa bisnis sistem dan logic programming. Maklum saja Leman adalah seorang pengusaha dan konsultan Teknologi Informasi. Namun justru bukan dari dunia TI namanya melambung, melainkan dari dunia tulis menulis, sesuatu yang berada di luar profesi awalnya. Bukunya 50 Chinese Wisdoms dan The Best of Chinese Saying terbitan Gramedia Pustaka Utama menempati posisi lima besar menurut laporan Koran Tempo per 31 Desember 2007.
Rahasianya? “Seorang penulis harus mempunyai naluri bisnis, bisa melihat dan memanfaatkan peluang. Jangan menulis hanya sekadar hobi atau mengisi waktu. Tetapi coba jadikan menulis itu sebagai peluang bisnis, visi bisnisnya dikedepankan (tanpa mengabaikan aspek lainnya). Dengan demikian, ia bisa mendorong orang memanfaatkan strategi-strategi yang bisa menjadikan buku-buku tersebut berhasil,” ungkap bapak tiga anak ini.
Lebih lanjut Leman menuturkan, dalam menulis buku dirinya menggunakan strategi yǐ yì dài láo (Dengan sabar menunggu musuh kelelahan). Inti strategi ini, jelas Leman, menekankan pentingnya menjadi pelopor pasar, memasuki dan menciptakan pasar baru dengan memanfaatkan momentum yang tepat, tidak boleh terlalu cepat atau terlalu lambat untuk memenangkan kompetisi. “Saya memanfaatkan momentun di mana banyak masyarakat yang haus akan ‘Chinese Wisdoms,’ karena selama tiga dasawarsa ini, kebebasan untuk mempelajari salah satu bahasa dilarang oleh pemerintahan Orde Baru.”
Selain itu, Leman mengadobsi strategi měi rén jì (Siasat memanfaatkan kecantikan wanita). Penjabarannya, imbuh Leman, pelanggan mempunyai kebutuhan atau keinginan selain kualitas, oleh sebab itu seseorang harus bisa menggunakan ‘kecantikan’ untuk menggodanya. Jika mereka ‘tergoda’ atau tertarik dengan penampilan tersebut Anda telah berhasil. “Buku-buku saya desain sedemikian rupa agar nuansa Tiongkoknya begitu kental dan menarik. Banyak testimoni dari pembaca mengatakan mereka jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Sebenarnya penjelasan dari strategi ini mei ren ji sangat luas, dan saya jelaskan dengan detail dalam buku The Best of Chinese Strategies,” ujarnya tanpa bermaksud jumawa.
Jurus lain adalah shù shàng kāi huā (Menempatkan bunga palsu di pohon). Dijelaskan Leman, inti dari strategi ini ialah bagaimana menampilkan sesuatu menjadi tampak luar biasa, eksklusif, canggih, gagah, kokoh, menarik ( walaupun mungkin produknya ”biasa-biasa saja”). Yang dipoles bisa dari segi produk, kemasan, suasana (misalnya ruangan perkantoran, restoran), status dan sebagainya. ”Saya berhasil menggunakan judul-judul yang menarik, terlihat canggih, menarik dan dashyat zeperti ”The Best of.....,” katanya membuka rahasia.
Strategi lainnya adalah àn dù chén cāng (Menuju Chen Cang melalui jalur tersembunyi).
Inti dari strategi itu adalah dengan mengfokuskan calon pelanggan (lead) pada satu titik tertentu. Setelah mereka mengkonsentrasikan diri di sana, Anda menggunakan jalur yang”tersembunyi” untuk memperkenalkan atau menjual produk.
“Implementasi dari strategi ini dapat dilakukan dengan mengundang para pelanggan atau calon pelanggan datang ke suatu event; seperti talkshow, pameran dan sebagainya (ini adalah suatu tindakan yang terbuka), dan mempromosikan produk (ini dilakukan secara terselubung). Dalam marketing, dikenal dengan istilah promosi below the line,” pungkas pria yang pendidikan formalnya tidak pernah terkait dengan profesi tulis menulis ini.
Prospek cerah Ikan mas “bocah”
Ikan mas laleutik (kecil-kecil) ini ternyata memiliki pasar yang prospektif. Tak pernah ada kata rugi dalam membudidayakannya. Russanti Lubis
Ada gula, ada semut. Begitulah gambaran bisnis ikan mas balita yang dijalankan Rosyid Dahlan, mantan Account Officer Bank Rakyat Indonesia cabang Cianjur, Jawa Barat. Dikatakan begitu, semula ikan mas balita cuma dibudidayakan, di Cianjur khususnya, secara sambil lalu. Mendadak, boleh dikata begitu, dibudidayakan secara intensif. Hal ini, ternyata dipicu oleh banyaknya permintaan dari kalangan berduit di Jakarta.
“Orang-orang Jakarta kalangan atas justru lebih menyukai ikan mas balita dibandingkan ikan mas dengan ukuran pada umumnya. Dengan digoreng garing, ikan-ikan seukuran jari tangan orang dewasa ini, akan terasa renyah dan gurih saat dimakan. Bahkan, beberapa orang menjadikannya sebagai teman minum teh atau kopi,” jelasnya. Sekadar informasi, ikan mas balita ini, karena ukurannya yang mungil, hanya dapat dikonsumsi dengan cara digoreng.
Apa sih ikan mas balita? “Ikan mas balita merupakan nama dagang yang diberikan oleh sebuah perusahaan katering di Bogor, terhadap ikan mas yang saat dipanen baru berumur sebulan. Sebenarnya, istilah ini mengacu kepada ikan-ikan tersebut setelah mereka diolah atau digoreng. Produsen lain mengistilahkannya ikan laleutik (Sunda: ikan kecil-kecil, red.), ikan baby, dan sebagainya. Sedangkan dalam pembudidayaan ikan mas, ia diistilahkan putihan,” katanya. Sekadar informasi, dalam pembudidayaan ikan yang berwarna kuning keemasan ini, terdapat tiga tahapan yang harus dilalui, yang dimulai dari penetasan dan diakhiri dengan pemanenan. Ketiga tahapan itu diistilahkan burayak, gabar, dan putihan. “Serah, itu istilah Cianjurnya,” imbuhnya.
Dari segi bisnis, Rosyid melanjutkan, mengembangbiakkan ikan mas balita lebih berisiko dibandingkan membudidayakan ikan mas dalam ukuran normal, yang jelas-jelas lebih menguntungkan. Tapi, bila petani ikan mas tidak mempunyai lahan yang cukup besar, budidaya ikan mas balita tentu saja lebih prospektif, apalagi untuk kondisi saat ini. “Untuk membesarkan ikan mas hingga seberat ¼ kg saja, dibutuhkan lahan yang sangat besar. Jadi, bayangkan berapa luas empang yang harus kita miliki, jika kita menebar satu liter benih ikan mas, padahal dalam satu liter itu terdapat 2.000 benih,” ujarnya. Sekadar informasi, satu liter benih ikan mas dijual dengan harga Rp50 ribu.
Budidaya ikan mas balita, khususnya, juga sangat tergantung pada kondisi lokasi pembudidayaan. “Ikan mas balita bagus dikembangbiakkan di daerah yang memiliki kondisi alam dan cuaca seperti Cianjur, misalnya di Ciganjur atau Depok,” katanya. Di samping itu, sebelum budidaya dilakukan, kita juga harus memiliki empang yang benar-benar terpelihara. “Caranya, keringkan empang terlebih dulu selama minimal lima hari. Setelah itu, kawinkan ikan mas betina dengan pejantan dalam empang tersebut. Usai perkawinan, di hari yang sama, ikan mas betina akan bertelur. Tiga hari kemudian, telur-telur ini akan menetas. 12 hari berikutnya, ikan-ikan ini sudah dapat dipanen dan dijual. Jadi total waktu yang dibutuhkan dalam budidaya ini hanya 20 hari,” ungkapnya. Usai dipanen, empang harus dibersihkan lagi. Jika kurang subur, bisa diberi pupuk.
Dari setiap liter benih yang ditebarkankan dihasilkan 30 kg ikan mas balita. Tapi, hasilnya tidak selalu sebesar itu karena banyak faktor, misalnya penyakit, benih dimakan binatang lain, air yang terkena polusi, atau cuaca yang kurang mendukung. “Musim kemarau bagus untuk mengembangbiakkan ikan, sedangkan musim penghujan akan menghambat pertumbuhan ikan,” jelas pria yang mulai serius berbisnis budidaya ikan sejak tahun 2000 ini. Di sisi lain, ikan mas balita juga dapat dibudidayakan di sawah (minapadi, red.). Tapi, karena dilakukan secara tradisional atau alakadarnya dan disambi menunggu benih padi siap tanam, maka hanya akan dihasilkan 20 kg untuk setiap satu liter benih yang ditebarkan.
Dalam pemasarannya, di tingkat petani, ikan-ikan imut ini dijual dengan harga Rp16 ribu hingga Rp17 ribu per kilogram, maksimal Rp20 ribu/kg. Sedangkan setiap kilonya berisi sekitar 200 ekor. “Saya panen sebulan sekali sebanyak 50 kg, sedangkan setiap minggu saya harus memasok 4 kuintal ke sebuah perusahaan katering di Bogor, sehingga saya harus mengumpulkan sisanya ke para petani ikan balita setempat. Bahkan jika bulan puasa tiba, saya harus memasok sekitar 3 kuintal per tiga kali seminggu,” kata pemilik sembilan empang dengan total luas hampir 2 ha, yang tersebar di Kampung Kopo, Kampung Joglo, dan Kampung Bojongrenget, yang semuanya terletak di Cianjur. Setelah diolah (digoreng dan dikemas, red.), ikan-ikan ini dijual ke konsumen dengan harga Rp55 ribu per ¼ kg.
“Bisnis (budidaya) ikan itu tidak merugikan. Bahkan, kadangkala mendatangkan untung besar, meski tak jarang hanya untung kecil yang bisa diraup, tapi tidak pernah merugi, sepanjang sudah memiliki atau mengetahui pasarnya,” ucap Rosyid. Anda tertarik? Silahkan lihat boks.

Web Design Opportunity
And all without printing, postage or phone costs! The problem is that for most people, designing a website is on a par with building your own TV set–a major mystery best left unexplored. But if you can unlock the secrets of HTML and you’ve got a flair for graphics and copywriting, then Website design could be the business for you. The advantages to this business are that it’s creative, you can start part-time on a minimal budget, and even if you don’t already know HTML, it’s not difficult to learn once you set your mind to it. And you can deal with clients in any geographic region without leaving your computer. You should have a good rapport with your computer and have mastered the basic skills to get around in cyberspace. You’ll also need a talent for graphics and copywriting because your goal for each client will be not only to get the website up and running but to design one that’s easy to navigate through, visually appealing, and clearly yet cleverly worded. Get started by designing a few sample sites to showcase your talents, and be sure to mix up your sample work to include e-commerce, information portal, and so on.
The Market
Your clients will be businesses–you can target everything from SOHOs to nonprofit organizations to professional associations to government agencies. Choose a geographic or specialty area to start with–say, small businesses in your community or real estate agencies–then send direct-mail pieces explaining the values of a website and your services. Put up your own website both to attract business and to serve as a sample of your work, and establish links with other internet sites so potential clients can find you through as many paths as possible.
Needed Equipment
As a Website designer, your most important tool will be, of course, your computer; make sure yours has a fast internet connection. You’ll also need a scanner (inexpensive is OK), Web page creation software, and a graphic design package. If your Web page software doesn’t have the oomph to upload files to the internet service provider, you’ll want a program to carry out this task.
