Self Fulfilling Prophecy

First off, why did I call this "Self Fulfilling Prophecy?" I don't know. Call it a Holy Spirit thing. Intuition? Honestly, I was told to call this article that, but it has nothing to do with that, really. It has to do with Markethive going viral, exponential growth. And my call out to you to be part of this amazing venture.

I also have to say, I love Markethive, I mean I really love this system, I am passionate about it. It is my life's work, my calling and I know many of you feel the same way. I am humbled the Lord has called me to build it. So there, now you know. OK here is the article I have spent a week writing.

Nice illustration huh? Again doesn't have a lot to do with this article, but then again it does. While writing this article I have also been completing our Pitch Deck, Financials and Business Plan. I have made a ton of Infographics like this as well. All in preperation for Markethive going viral, gaining perspective and acquiring. We are now gaining interest from Angel Investors. We are on our way. So here is the article.

I am calling upon all of you to help propel Markethive exponentially. There are 3 things we need you to do and I am asking you to do this so, I can leverage your assistance to turn Markethive into one giant Entrepreneurial Ecocenter driving huge results, results that will reward every single one of you.

Upgrade to Entrepreneur. As of this notice, Entrepreneur is now classified Entrepreneur One. Explanation to follow.

Primary Mission: More Customers and More Revenue for you with Markethive
Markethive is a Commerce Platform (look for the coming Store Fronts), an Inbound Marketing platform (nearly identical to Marketo) that recently sold to Adobe for 4.75 billion, an integrated social community (navigation familiar to Facebook and LinkedIn), and a Digital Media Network (like Western Journal, Cointelegraph, Mashable and Techcrunch) all integrated and fully operational right now.

Alexa Ranking. Credible Traffic 3rd party confirmation:
To help build a solid ecocenter for the entrepreneurs, being able to publically display our traffic with a 3^rd party is necessary to establish Markethive’s credibility. Each member can assist us by installing the free browser extension from Alexa @ https://www.alexa.com/toolbar. We are now approaching 100,000 unique daily visitors. Our internal tracking, Alexa and WorthofWeb all confirm this. These numbers are critical to establish our rates for members to pay for our advertising and marketing services. Allowing us to reference similar digital media networks like AMBCrypto and Blockonomi .

AMBCrypto Alexa 23,841 : Price: $5,500
https://coinbound.io/buy/ambcrypto-banner-ad-top-content/
Blockonomi Alexa: 54,230 Price:$1,850
https://coinbound.io/buy/blockonomi-banner-ad/

Therefore it is to all of ours focus and recognition is that traffic and credibility are the key aspect of our strategy and you can help. BTW: As we continue to develop Markethive’s “Infinity Bounties” Markethive will eventually recognize your Alexa browser extension as you login and give you additional ranking, bounty and advantages in the “Infinity Bounty” program. The core of Infinity Bounties is you registering your social accounts with Markethive and then following Markethive’s social networks. Doing this increases your earnings in the faucet system. There is more to it as well, but that is the foundation of this service, now….

Refer 3 to activate your faucets
Markethive requires you to refer at least 3 people to activate some of our services, particularly the Faucet and the Hive Ranking. The Faucet system is a micropayment system that all Markethive usage like posting, commenting, blogging, emailing, etc. pays you in MHV coin for your activities and other members activity in reaction to your activity (blog swiping, blog subscribing, tipping, etc.). The Hive Ranking rates your activity and popularity and the higher your rank the greater your faucet earnings. So the more you use Markethive and produce quality content the more you make in MHV coins which have value that can be used for Markethive services, exchanged for Bitcoin, sold for fiat, or used at other 3^rd party systems, stores and services.

Entrepreneur One Upgrade
The current Entrepreneur Upgrade is the premium highest level you will ever have the opportunity to acquire. It contains all the leveraged advantages you need to accelerate your success in Markethive:

This can be a significant reward for those that aggressively build “associates” the term used for the leads, Markethive provides (profile page and default capture page). Our first infinity airdrop will be 500 coins, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to offer a system as powerful and valuable as the Markethive system that also rewards new members with an immediate 500 coin reward. You can easily promote this and build 1000s of referrals that will add up to significant coins and customers.
Secondary Matching Airdrop Bonus: When your associate customer upgrades to Entrepreneur, we airdrop them 100 coins and you will also receive 100 coins as a matching bonus.
Matching ILP Loyalty Program: You also get an equal ILP share after 12 months of continuity with the Entrepreneur program. This is only available for the first 1000 Entrepreneur upgrades. What that means….Liken to an ICO, your monthly payment is accrued and if you stay current for 12 straight months, we contribute to you a full 10% ILP and continue to offer this 12 month reward for 10 years or your stop payment. This offer is limited to the first 1000 active upgrades.
Banner Ad Program: You also get unlimited 1^st level Banner advertisement in all of our traffic portals and Internet properties. This offer is incredibly valuable. Markethive properties are already receiving significant traffic and as we grow, this traffic is included with this Entrepreneur upgrade.
Press Release Program: Markethive will also be delivering a Press Release system as a hybrid liken to PRNewswire (traditional distribution) to include Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, CNNMoney, MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, Bizjournals.com, Business.com , Wired, Tech Crunch, Engadget, Computerworld, CNET News, InformationWeek, R&D Magazine and more in the Tech industry. Our Media List will be greater than 4000 media organizations, journalists, reporters, bloggers, producers, freelance writers and editors across print, online, blogs, radio and television.
It will also publish to our growing social network followers (40,000 and growing via MH subscribers) and our growing members WordPress blogs (about 3000 and growing with MH members). When Markethive reaches 1 million members our Social Following is projected to be at (700,000 – 2 million followers total) and about 150,000 WordPress sites. These WordPress sites will be mini news media and vertical news media like http://aimhigh.news along with publication to Markethive’s portfolio of sites like https://Markethive.com , https://Markethive.net , http://allaboutco.in, http://aboutbitco.in , and http://aboutco.in .

Cointelegraph, a vertical tech news media organization, which charges about $8,500 per release with an Alexa rank (2,646) social followers (1.3 million) and 16,000 subscribers justifies their price. Markethive’s press release will be priced accordingly and increase as our subscribers reach grows. The second biggest digital news media site to Cointelegraph is CNN with an Alexa rank (10,899) charges $1800 and only posts to their main site front page.

The Entrepreneur One Upgrade will include one Press Release per month for life as long as your Entrepreneur One Upgrade remains active and current. This does not accumulate. Additional Press releases will be discounted.
Sponsored Article Program: Sponsored content is a piece of brand journalism that lives on a publisher’s website. It’s usually written by the publisher’s staff so the article matches the tone and voice of rest of their content. Sponsored article are published to the same distribution Markethive articles are published on plus, notification of articles is sent to our social network, and the 1000s of connected WordPress sites. Sponsored articles run from high end media sites like Cointelegraph for $7500 to an average of $1200 for most other media systems in the general markets.
Co-Op Customer Acquisition Program: Markethive strategic campaigns will designate %60 to %80 of our revenue into Marketing and Advertising campaigns. These campaigns will point to Markethive assets like:
Markethive.com
Markethive.net
Aboutco.in
Allaboutco.in
Aboutbitco.in
Ewav.net
Iwav.net

Traditional Customer Co-Op programs charge $50 to $100 per customer. Cooperative marketing programs foster teamwork between a brand (Markethive) and its channel partners (Markethive Subscribers). Channel partners often don’t have large marketing departments. Markethive is more equipped to create professional advertisements and deal with media placement. Markethive Entrepreneur Upgrade subscribers create the demand and. Co-op marketing programs take advantage of the sale channel’s local presence. This benefits both the partner and the brand.
Commerce Portals: To sell on our commerce portals, like Big Kahuna (A website builder like WIX), Beelancers (A freelancer service like Freelancers), Markethive Exchange (A full service crypto exchange like https://idex.market/) you must be an active Entrepreneur One Upgrade to sell or trade. This eliminates processing fees and commissions like found on Freelancers, Upwork, Guru, etc. Buyers have no obligation other than free registration with Markethive. This change in services where it is traditional to be constrained into the platform and pay high processing fees and commissions is eliminated with the Markethive Entrepreneur Upgrade system.
Crowd Funding Portal: If Markethive engages (likely we will) with a crowd funding campaign, promoted to top crowd funding systems like ICOranker, ICObench, Tokentops, Airdrops.io and Cryptoslate.com etc. We will be sharing the campaign traffic via all Entrepreneurs through our crowd funding portal @ Markethive.io and giving all Entrepreneur Upgrades their own self replicated portal to help in the campaign. These portals will earn equal matching shadow shares if they bring in new ILP purchases and will also be traffic portals earning new members as well.

So I have to ask, what are you waiting for? And now a word (audio) from the CEO

How to be an authority (Know Your Why First)

Being an authority figure in the online space should really be the goal of any website. When you are an authority figure you have the power to socially influence through your actions and words which means you hold a great deal of power & trust in front of your audience. The Bing Webmaster Blog recently put out a great piece on being an online authority which I think everyone should read. Please keep in mind that being an authority figure does not come from slapping together a mediocre plan. It takes though and dedication to put together a fierce action plan.

From Google:

“If a site is an authority in your industry, you can bet that it will be for Google as well. So if you’re a web designer, a link from Smashing Magazine or A List Apart helps, as a lot of other web design sites will be linking to those sites, thus causing those sites to be ‘hubs’ in the web design space.”

— Joost De Valk, Yoast

Being an authority online comes with huge benefits.

Increased rankings for individual website pages
Industry authority
Heavy online influence
Increased business
Immense traffic spikes

Basically there is no down fall to being an authority figure in any industry but if you truly want to get there you have to lay out a path in the right direction to make it happen.

Here are some great ways to get on the right path to be an authority figure in your space:

Be Knowledgeable

If you are just getting started in your space you are not going to influence anyone overnight. Authority requires seasoning and experience in a space along with being able to present that experience in the right manner in front of your target audience.

Get Active in your Community

You absolutely have to get active socially in front of your community. If you want to be viewed as a leader you will have to engage with your audience on social communities like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. You also want to make your website a destination spot that promotes back and forth interaction. (important)

Be a Resource

You want your audience to come to you for advice and help. Once they start turning towards you for help that means they are starting to look at you in a whole new different light.

Encourage Sharing

If you want others to share your material you are going to have to share their material as well. Encourage proactive content sharing so your audience can learn from not only you but from the people around you too. This will allow you to become a central hub which is really the focus of your efforts.

From Google: (again)

Its generally held that when an engine assigns deep links to the content of your website, you’re an authority. And while this is more or less true, the engine seeing you as an authority happens well in advance of those links appearing.

As you produce useful content, we try to match that useful content against queries. If the actions searchers take indicate they are pleased with your content as a solid resource, then we try you again the next time. This testing happens a lot. Hundreds of thousands to millions of times, depending on query volumes and content matches.

We watch the patterns of interaction and soon enough, those resources that searchers seem to be particularly pleased with start to float to the top. We’re not just talking click-through-rates here, either. We’re talking the entire signal-set that influences ranking at work here.

Do you have unique, useful content? Check.
Do you produce new content frequently? Check.
Do you have a solid history? Check.
Do you have trustworthy links pointing at your content? Check.
Do you have an active social presence? Check.
Do people retweet and like your social content? Check.

Negative Trust Influences

What can you do to your own site, or could a competitor do to you, that will nuke your trust and therefore rankings?

“I always think that links have a positive or negative value. Let’s say the BBC gives you a +10,000 and a spammy blogspot link gives you a -100, you still have a positive 9,900 score. The problems occur when the BBC get hit with a link selling penalty, if your backlinks have fallen into negative equity things go south quickly.

Get caught selling links and your link value could shift from a positive value to a negative value, so I re-visit my clients links monthly and check out what’s happening to the sites that link to them”

— David Naylor, Bronco

Buy and Sell Links – First is if you are obvious in your link buying, don’t expect to last long in the search engines. Mr Cutts is very keen on tracking down and destroying sold links. There are even some sites that are so “dirty” in Google’s eyes that a purchase in the right place and right time can nuke you over night. Don’t believe me? Ask the right people at the right conferences to show you the evidence. That’s all I am saying 🙂

Bad Neighbors – If your links are not paid but still associate you with the seedier parts of the interwebs, don’t be surprised if you are seen as guilty by association.

Comment Spam – Leave the spam up, get it indexed, and watch your results rocket to the bottom. It’s the “broken windows” theory of SEO.

Unnatural Growth Patterns – Google will look carefully at your link growth for any signs of unnatural acquisition. This isn’t to say that if you get on the front page of Digg and garner 20k visitors and as a result, 100 fresh links that you will be penalized. What is likely though is they will take a closer look if your brand new domain arrives out of the gate with one page of content and 10,000 links overnight.

Lack of Link Diversity – Are your links coming from friends and your own sites or are they arriving naturally because your content is awesome?

Thin or Spammy Content – Duplicate, scraped or feed content, or spammy gibberish is likely to get marked down. As you would expect, Google is aiming to promote the highest quality. They will use human checks, algorithms and watch the behaviour of their customers to see if what they are delivering meets expectations.

So the first element to emphasize is make your site evolve as naturally as possible!

“You can manufacture authority with a very intelligent link building campaign but more often than not it’s the natural growth of the site and links with other sites in the same industry that gives Google reason to trust the site.”

— Patrick Altoft, BlogStorm
