KANYE WEST – From ProducerRapper To Christian InnovatorEntrepreneur

KANYE WEST – From Producer/Rapper To Christian Innovator/Entrepreneur

Kanye West is full of contradictions.  He’s arrogant but self-deprecating. Remarkably rude but also sensitive. His style of hip hop and messages in his music along with his unique persona have made him the most important rap star of the 2000s who had a way to bring mainstream to him rather the other way round. 

The celebrity muso and entrepreneur had a huge impact in early September 2019, when he purchased a 3,200-acre property which is part of Monster Lake Ranch in Cody, Wyoming, now known as West Ranch. He also purchased numerous commercial properties on Cody’s Big Horn Avenue, and a second ranch in the Big Horn Mountains just outside of Shell. 

 

Working Only For God

In an in-depth interview, at his home in Cody, Wyoming West spoke of his enlightenment and says his addiction to alcohol made him do some crazy things. Now plagued with the stigma of being crazy by some, he himself admits he is cocky and confident that comes across as arrogance, and now says he will only use these traits working for God. All his trials and tribulations have set him on his more committed path to follow Jesus and give service to God. 

Along with his wholehearted commitment to God, West released his first Gospel Album “Jesus Is King”, it was a logical extension to embracing his Christian faith and his new mission. He is also passionate about his Sunday Service, attending every single one accompanied by The Samples, the choir who brings heavenly harmonies with celestial and united praise.

Although Kanye never shied away from bringing religious topics into his art, Sunday Service is a new emergence. Bringing together his love of music, fashion, and Jesus Christ, Sunday Service is hand-crafted for the social media age and comes to define this new era of Kanye West attracting crowds of new followers embracing the faith along with other celebrities taking part in the worship.  

Apart from the Gospel albums of original music, recently released, Kanye and the Choir cover contemporary hits from artists, rewriting some of the lyrics accordingly praising God and received heartfelt acclaim from the artists themselves. The video below showcases just some of those songs.

Everything Kanye West does now is in service to God. As West explains, he goes to bed each night clearing his head and wakes up in the morning an empty vessel and lets God do the driving. He says it’s now his job to spread the word about Christ. 

“I told you all about what fashion did for me, I told you what Hennessey had done for me, now I’m telling you all about what Jesus has done for me.” 

Kanye knows he is not a religious leader or theologian, he admits he has a lot to learn. He is self-aware and knows he will experience spiritual warfare, however as Kanye stipulates he is about lighting up the world. He is about being a beacon and have others experience joy and imagination. It’s not about entertainment, it’s more about imagination. 

“Witness the imagination and feel good. Know that things are possible. That’s my job and that’s what I am on this earth to do. I ain’t trying to say the right answer, I’m just doing what I feel… trying is failing. There’s no ifs, woulds, coulds or shoulds. It just is and we just are.”

West goes on to say when he talks it’s like a dog whistle. The people that need to hear it, hear it. The people that don’t hear it are afraid to hear it or they don’t believe anything can happen. Many who have not experienced a church like gathering or aware of the gospel are enjoying the realness and relaxed atmosphere West has orchestrated with Sunday Service. Kanye believes this is great for Christian creativity and now that he’s on his new path, this will start a revolution in the creative world of the young people of this generation and the next. West says,

“Christian creativity has been so bland for so long. This will be a cultural wrecking ball. The church is too traditional. God doesn’t just exist in the four walls of a church. God is in everything and is everywhere. ”

New home For Yeezy Apparel Manufacturing

The influence of rapper/Christian innovator Kanye West continues to grow. Since purchasing the properties in Wyoming, the Christian Innovator has taken steps to build a large meditation center in Cody, however, the permitting process was stopped and is under review by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to determine whether the meditation center would disturb the sage grouse habitat and mule deer migration corridors. 

West also announced that he was moving the headquarters of Adidas Yeezy, his multibillion-dollar shoe and apparel business to Cody. He and partners began preparations for a manufacturing facility, a “sample/prototype lab”, at the former Cody Laboratories warehouse. Meanwhile, Adidas started advertising for jobs based in Cody. 

James Klessens, The CEO for Forward Cody speaks favorably in anticipation of West’s upcoming plans for Cody and the future of Yeezy Manufacturing and interest in sustainable housing and building practices which is another feather in West’s cap as he pursues the idea of eco-friendly Domes, dubbed Star Wars-inspired housing.

He said he plans to move the industry forward on sustainability, starting with hydroponic, cotton, wheat and hemp farming in Cody, along with searching for ways to make the dyeing process less harmful to the environment. The climate and soil are good for hydroponics, along with developing their own fabric from seed to sew, farm to table which offers full sustainability and be able to see the whole process.  

“Our color is a big signature of the brand, but also dyeing is one of the main things that’s impacting the planet and the fashion industry, so just being responsible from A to Z,” West said.

 

“We Don’t Hope, We Just Do” 

At a seminar held in November of 2019 at the annual Fast Company Innovation Festival in NYC, West revealed that Yeezy plans to create factories in which he wants to hire “second-chance people” who’ve gone through the prison system. He plans to make his manufacturing entirely eco-friendly, moving it all to South and North America in the next two years, including at his 4,000-acre ranch in Cody. So essentially moving manufacturing from overseas to America in order to create jobs. 

Steven Smith, the lead designer of West’s shoe brand Yeezy, said West is not “blowing smoke” about making shoes from beginning to end in the United States. Smith displayed a prototype made in Atlanta the day before the seminar, using in part, algae harvested from ponds. Read more about the eco-friendly process here 

“We’re going to bring jobs back here. We’re going to make Yeezys in America. This is a revolution,” Smith said. “Eco-concerns are intersecting with what we do. This is just the beginning of the future that Kanye envisioned for us to start working on.”

West added: “We took the word ‘try’ out of it and we just ‘do,’ like Yoda says.” 

 

President Kanye? 

He went on to say, in spite of the chuckles from the audience, 

“When I run for president in 2024, we would have created so many jobs that I’m not going to run, I’m going to walk.”

West first made headlines about running for President in 2015 when he made a cryptic announcement during the MTV VMAs.During an awards acceptance speech, West said, 

"As of this moment, I have decided that I will be running for president in 2020. … We're going to teach our kids to believe in themselves. I don't know what I'm going to lose after this. It don't matter, though. It ain't about me. It's about ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth."

Being an avid supporter of Donald Trump, West decided to step back when Trump took office in 2016. Kanye West has come along way since then and still holds dear to his same plans in 2024. 

Kanye West’s vision is to work only for God and the good it can bring humanity. He says we need humility in humanity and everything he does and continues to do will be for his spiritual church. As his brand is an expression of how he feels even the design of his shoes will be aligned with names of verses from the Bible. 

 

Sunday Service Is Proof That The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways

The Sunday Services have been held in many locations across the U.S. Although these are a full-blown Kanye West production you can find him not in the spotlight but in amongst the people and choir, singing and giving praise. These people are all here to give praise and sing their hearts out, using all of their talents. This is a very different atmosphere to a traditional church gathering. 

The look, the sound, the tone was undeniably Kanye West’s vision and creation, and yet for most of the performance, he was as much as an observer as the audience was, only singing or rapping for a small percentage of the service. 

The Lord works in mysterious ways and the Kanye West Sunday Services had many worshippers thinking, why do we feel so good? Is that the spirit? Is this holy? Of course, it is. 

West brought his gospel choir and band to the masses in South L.A. and delivered an unforgettable performance that deserves an Amen. In the video below, listen to the amazing introduction of the service as choir director, Jason White raised his hands and the choir sang loudly and fervently to the tune of Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna”, the very powerful choral piece from Carmina Burana. West had rewritten the 85-year-old classic so instead of the singers belting out the original lyrics which are…

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis

they sang…

“Jesus is King!
The King of Kings!
Our God, give praise forever!”

Later in this service, Kenny G appeared along with rap artist, Clipse, performing the song “Use This Gospel”  surprising and delighting the already overwhelmed crowd. 

The music, vocals, and choreography were positively inspirational and are destined to spread the word. The performance, lighting, sound, and spirit makes his newer material, “Jesus Is King” album a very powerful and unique live experience. These Sunday Services are perfect for relaying the Gospel and humanitarian truths in an unorthodox setting, as more newfound followers gather in united praise bringing peace, joy and spiritual enlightenment to the masses. 

Jesus is King. Kanye is just his "hype man".

KANYE WEST – The Road To Renewal

Leave a comment

KANYE WEST – The Road To Renewal

Continuing on from Part 1 of Kanye West’s Journey, for over a decade long, the artistic genius went on to successfully create hit albums of a variety of music genres that were critically acclaimed, polarizing, influential and captivating, earning him the reputation of “America’s favorite bad boy”.

West toured with U2 in 2005 – 06 which inspired him to make hip hop more atmospheric and empowering to be performed in stadiums and arenas. He started to draw influence from both rock & roll music like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Killers, plus house music which originated in Chicago, where he grew up.  

Kanye puts himself in places where a vain or trendy person wouldn't dare try, like wearing pink polos, kilts and, skinny jeans. He made a career of consistently and willingly making himself the underdog by going against the grain for the sake of not just being able to say he did it first but to also avoid being boxed in or marginalized. 

His dedicated passion to reinvent the wheel along with his intense and dynamic creativity amassed him international acclaim and godly recognition. On West’s sixth album “Yeezus”, his song “I Am A God” was a powerhouse and punchy approach that has come to define the genius of Kanye West. “Yeezus” remains the only album to have sold fewer than 1 million copies in the US. Yet it was critically well-received, not least by the rock legend Lou Reed, who told Rolling Stone that “Each track is like making a movie… The guy really, really, really is talented.”

 

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Kanye explains his meaning behind his song “I Am A God”

Kanye West always sees an opportunity in just about everything and when the music industry began to worry about the effect the internet was having on its profit margins, West just embraced the change with a video for his single “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and he hired the comedian/actor Zach Galifianakis to lip-sync the lyrics on an alternate version which created a viral sensation. 

 

Tragedy Strikes

Kanye was on top of the world, hailed as the artist who killed gangster rap. But in November 2007, tragedy struck. His beloved mother, Donda, died from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery. Kanye West dedicated a performance of “Hey Mama” to her at the first concert he did following the funeral. Given the bond Kanye and his mother had this put him in a very dark place. Months later, he separated from his then-fiancee Alexis Phifer and his next album, 808s & Heartbreak that he released 12 months later was laden with grief, pain, and alienation. 

Kanye with his mother Donda West

At that point West abandoned rapping completely, preferring to sing through an Auto-Tune vocal processor. This technique (ubiquitous in hip hop today) turned his voice into a robotic tone and he classified the new album and sound as “Pop Art”. 

It’s not to be confused with the visual art movement, but interestingly, when you consider West has Synesthesia, which is the condition where one sense, like hearing, is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses, such as sight, so everything that Kanye sonically creates is a painting in his creative mind.

West then announced, “Hip hop is over for me”. However, it wasn’t. He won two Grammys for guest raps he made that year, on Estelles’ “American Boy” and TI’s “Swagger Like Us”. 

 

Oops! A Faux-Pas Or…

Notorious for his controversial statements, (of which there were many)  and after the passing of his mother, West’s state of mind was fragile and coupled with a bottle of Hennessy, he invaded the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Vocal award at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. He took the microphone from her and said although he was happy for Swift, Beyonce did a fantastic video clip, inferring Beyonce should have won the award instead. 

“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!”

The reverberations from that moment are still being felt, however, West did apologize publically, then retracted his apology in a 2013 interview with the New York Times. However, by 2015, they became friends. It’s evident that some on social media are still riled by the act, but time and circumstance have a way of healing and leading to self-development as Swift recounts in her biopic, “Miss Americana”. 

In her story, she makes it clear how much these incidents wounded her, and how a young woman desperate to be liked could be deeply hurt when she finds out it’s impossible to be everyone’s favorite. It made her stronger, more independent and the woman she is today. It could be said that one person’s faux-pas is another person’s gateway to a life lesson learned and growth.

Kanye West Focus On Fashion

Following the Swift fiasco, West took a break from music and relocated to Rome stopping off at Japan along the way for a time. His focus was on fashion at that point. He had already been collaborating with labels including A Bathing Ape and Nike on limited-edition sneakers since 2006. He gained more experience as an intern for other labels, reportedly for Gap and Fendi. In 2009, West partners with Nike for his own shoe, the Air Yeezys. 

West launched his first collection in Paris in 2011 which was very much criticized. Feeling wounded, West gave a speech at the show’s after-party, pleading “Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow.”  His second collection a year later only received lukewarm acceptance, subsequently West announced he would no longer be showing in Paris.  

In 2013 he collaborated with the French label APC on his capsule collection. In an interview with W Magazine, he explained,

“I tried to come out of the gate going crazy. And it didn’t work. So now I have to somehow put out something that says, ‘I look sensible!’?”

Contrary to his personality, the collection consisted of understated tees, hoodies, and jeans. 

 


Kanye West’s Capsule Collection: Adidas “Yeezy” sneakers and Jewelry collection 

 

He then signed a $10 million deal with Adidas and launched his first apparel collection of Yeezy Season 1 in 2015. This collection had a mixed reception but his Season 5 collection in 2017 won praise and notably, Yeezy is the No 1 searched brand on the internet. 

He had a passion for fashion, showcasing his own style of apparel and the collection of Yeezy sneakers with Adidas Boost technology. West maintains that his brand expresses how he feels, not to keep up with trends or societal culture. Prior to that, he donned other high-end designer labels because he could and it made him feel good – It helped to feed his ego. He is still perceived today as the Louis Vuitton Don.

Now on a new quest, keeping his ego in check and getting back to grassroots, it’s all about bringing manufacturing back to America, from seed to sew, along with job opportunities for people in prison reform or second chance people. More about that later.
   
As a musician, what makes Kanye West one of the greats is his ability to innovate – to push the sonic boundaries of hip-hop. As a Fashionista, he has become a force in fashion with the desire to create designer fashion affordable to the people en-masse. 

 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian – Equally Yolked

Kanye West and reality TV star, Kim Kardashian began their relationship in April of 2013, engaged in October, then married in May 2014. Happily married for nearly 6 years with 4 children. Their first daughter North (born June 15, 2013) son Saint (born December 5, 2015) and another daughter (born via surrogate January 15, 2018). Then came their fourth child, son Psalm, via surrogate in May 2019. 

Married life and fatherhood have helped West grow and realize what is important in life. In a recent interview, he described his relationship with Kim as equally yoked. They both have a spiritual connection to God. West considers his union with Kim a life-long commitment 

“It’s a God bond,” he says, Someone to call on, or call out. Someone that can call on you or call you out – Equally yoked. Someone to complain to and someone to grow with… as we grow and raise our children” 

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are one of the strongest couples in Hollywood and beyond after almost 6 years together.

The Turning Point

West went on to make his 7th album in 2016, “The Life Of Pablo”, tweaking his songs and resending them to streaming services, describing the album as a “living, breathing, changing creative expression”. That same year he started his Saint Pablo Tour, where he performs on a stage suspended in mid-air. However, with still 21 shows on the agenda the tour was canceled. 

In his last performance, West delivered a 15-minute rant, speaking his mind on personal gripes, naming names, business issues, revealing he was $53 million in debt and political stance, hailing Trump for President, before storming off the stage saying the show’s over. 

Subsequently, Kanye West was admitted into UCLA Medical Center, initially for exhaustion, only then to go through psychiatric tests and ultimately diagnosed with mental health issues. More succinctly, Bi-Polar Disorder. Reportedly, West never got over his mother’s untimely death. He has been put in the category of an HSP – Highly Sensitive People, but he has been called “crazy” by many. 

 

 

According to West, this was a crucial wake-up call that would change his life. His time in the hospital gave him space and the time he needed to not only get back on track but to re-evaluate his life and purpose. He had visions and divine messages to help him in his time of renewal. People call it a break-down, Kanye likes to call it a “break-through.”

The next 2 years West closeted himself, holed-up in the studio creating his 8th album “Ye” which has been a nickname of his and touched on issues ranging from sexual assault topics to West’s own controversial comments about slavery and being bipolar. In an interview following the album’s release, he expanded on the bipolar topic saying it is his “superpower”. He asserted that the condition fueled his creativity, but he also admitted that it led to unfortunate consequences.  

West deactivated his Twitter and Instagram accounts during that time due to the backlash he was receiving from many of his controversial comments, beliefs, and support for President Trump. Like him or not, he believes he has the right to express his own opinions and not be controlled by the system or manipulated into being something that he’s not. 

In 2018, Kanye dusts off the cobwebs and returns to the public eye, reactivating his Twitter account and music output with “Ye Vs.The People”. As the title insinuates, he needed to express his thoughts and feelings after becoming a recluse resulting from his experiences. It may even be seen as cathartic to some degree. Incidentally, the track was not included on the album. 

The Renewal

By this time West had relocated to Wyoming with his family, which is his “happy place”, a place away from “it all”  Although West was working on a new album titled Yandhi with a planned release date of September 29, 2018, it was delayed indefinitely. In April of 2019, Kanye West “woke up” and completely changed his direction spiritually, emotionally and physically.  In August of 2019, it was announced that he was working on another project which would display Kanye and his career in a whole new light that continues to gain momentum. 

Next, we’ll focus on Kanye’s life after renewal to the present day along with what has been deemed as Kanyean Philosophy.

Kanye West His Journey Authenticity vs Controversy

Leave a comment

Kanye West His Journey 
Authenticity vs Controversy 

Who Is Kanye West?

Kanye West is a Grammy Award-winning Rapper, Songwriter, Record Producer, and Entrepreneur. With a keen interest in designing and fashion, he also released his fashion label “Yeezy”, clothing and footwear apparel. His music has jumped from being a sensation to very much in demand in the rap industry, while his personality, his philosophies, and his willingness to speak out for what he believes in consistently land him at the center of controversy. 

Because West is renowned for being outspoken on his views about life, culture, religion, and politics, these controversial topics attract widespread media attention. He is a huge cultural figure who encourages people to think freely and be their own person and is often demonized by society and media channels.

Known for his arrogance Kanye West will be the first one to tell you he is a 21st-century phenomenon. A producer turned rap superstar who has reinvented hip hop many times over in the course of his outstanding career. The creative genius that he is, is somewhat overshadowed by his ability to put his entire foot in his mouth. He says he’s only human and often retracts any emotionally-based derogatory opinions and statements he blurts out publically. 

His name, his style, and the way he conducts his business are unique. His thoughtful reflections in interviews reveal a complex man that few have taken the time to understand. This and subsequent articles look at that multifaceted star, exploring his career as singer and producer, but also looking at the forces that prepared him to be the man he is today, relaying his mission and his message to anyone who will listen.

The Genesis Of Kanye West

Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1977 and grew up in Chicago from the age of three after his parents, Ray West and Donda Williams divorced amicably. He was raised in South Shore, Chicago, a middle-class neighborhood, by his mother and spent the summers with his father. 

Ray West (Father) was a photojournalist for the Atlanta Journal newspaper and a political activist in the Black Panthers. He later became a Christian counselor. Kanye’s mother, Donda West, was a teacher who became a professor of English at Chicago State University. West admits he came from “the wrong side of the mall” rather than the wrong side of the tracks. At the age of 10, Kanye and his mother moved to China for a year where she taught as part of a university exchange program. He had a somewhat religious upbringing which reflects in his music but somewhere along the way he admits he got lost. 

 

Talented and Determined 

After the China experience and returning to Chicago, Donda, West’s mother, helped a then 13-year-old Kanye and paid $25 to cut his first record in a basement studio. In 2004, Donda recalled in an interview with Red Eye, Chicago Tribune, 

“The microphone was hanging from the ceiling with a wire coat hanger. But he was so excited, I couldn’t say no.” 

Donda West told the Tribune his talent was evident even as a small boy at the age of 5, composing poems from gazing at the flora and his surroundings creatively visualizing it through the eyes of an artist and then transcribe it the way a poet would. She went on to say, 

 “People say Kanye and humility don’t belong in the same sentence, but he had that determination since he was 3. We need more people who aren't afraid to speak their minds,
I have always encouraged him to think and to speak the truth as he sees it."

 Kanye West and his mother had a very close bond, “My mother was my everything” he told TV News in 2005. Donda became his manager playing a significant part in his music career before she died from heart disease in 2007 at the age of 58. Her death profoundly impacted West musically and personally.

 

“Drop-Out” On The Road To Fame

West got caught up in the South Side hip-hop scene where he met his mentor DJ and producer No I.D. West graduated from Polaris High School and received a scholarship to study at Chicago’s American Academy Of Art. He has a love for the visual arts but dropped out of college to pursue music where he channeled that love for the arts into his music. 

He spent time working with local artists in Chicago where he realized his talent for producing and developed his own signature style dubbed “Chipmonk Soul”. He got his big break when he relocated to New York in 2001, handling the production for Jay-Z’s songs, a well-known New York Rapper. He then went on to produce for other major talents, including rappers, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Ludacris, also singers Alicia Keys and Beyonce. 

 

Music Producer Not Enough For Kanye

Although Kanye West was cementing his reputation as a brilliant producer, he was not content with that. He wanted to be upfront as a rapper, however, he was not taken seriously as a rap artist. According to Jay-Z, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, 

"We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by. Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work."

West lacked the “Gangsta” credentials that were a prerequisite at that time. He was an arty middle-class kid who wore pink polo shirts and Gucci loafers. He got similar negative responses from other labels and recalled how he’d leave meetings disappointed and crying every time. West pleaded with Roc-A-Fella Records and finally in 2002, Damon Dash reluctantly signed him to record his music, but did so mainly to retain him as a producer. 

Not long after in October 2002, West was involved in a head-on car collision while driving home from a recording session in California, which left him with a shattered jaw. He wrote and recorded a song about that experience “Through The Wire” while his jaw was wired shut as a result of reconstructive surgery. Nothing was going to stop him and after writing the rest of his debut album while convalescing in L.A. he revised, rewrote and refined the production adding gospel choirs and strings that he paid for out of his own pocket. 

 

"Through The Wire" Video Clip

 

The album named “The College Dropout” was finally released in 2004 and made Kanye West a star. It sold 2.6 million copies and broke the mold of Gangsta Rap with themes that included consumerism, racism, higher education, and his religious beliefs. On the single of that album, "Jesus Walks" he rapped: 

"They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus. That means guns, sex, lies, videotapes, but if I talk about God, my record won't get played."

 

A Young Kanye West Makes His Mark

"Jesus Walks" – The original version.

The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and West received 10 Grammy nominations and winning 3 awards for the best rap song, “Jesus Walks” and best rap album. West went on to create his own record label, GOOD Music, (an acronym for Getting Out Our Dreams) in collaboration with Sony BMG.  

Kanye West, being the restless bourgeoisie, brimming with creativity, wanted to see how far he could expand the hip hop genre of music and hired an orchestra. He spent $2 million and a year working with the composer John Brion, who had never worked with a rapper before. The results were prodigious, and he won another three Grammy awards. Best Rap Album again, “Late Registration” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200. Plus Best Rap Song for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," and Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger." This is an achievement West would repeat with every subsequent solo album release.

Gold Digger is one of my fav songs from his newly branded genre of hip hop, which incidentally West asked Jamie Foxx (Comedian/Actor) to accompany him on this song. As Foxx relates in this interview, this took place at a party Foxx was hosting for a number of hip hop artists where he met Kanye West for the first time. Foxx had always had a hankering to get into the music business and just happened to have a music studio at his house. He agreed to do it but didn’t think it would be a success. The rest is history.

Success Story From The Suburbs

Kanye West became known as the success story from the suburbs – a hip hop artist without street cred. Kanye remains popular because he is regarded as truly one of the best rappers of all time. He has made headlines for his bizarre tweets and his grand pronouncements, his award-show stage invasions, his extravagant fashion sense and his marriage to reality TV star, Kim Kardashian.

But when West channels his impulsive and brash swagger into his music, the results have been stellar. Consequently, he has eight solo albums debuting at No. 1 and 21 Grammy awards. (no rapper has won more). He has been included twice in Time magazine's 100 most influential people list, also praise from Lou Reed, Prince, Elon Musk and of course from Kanye West himself. His music resonates and regardless of his antics or personal life, he remains relevant to many from all walks of life. 

Next, we will look at how West is now following a different path and what led him to his life change. He along with his family have moved to Wyoming where he has taken time to reflect and move forward. So Markethive and Kanye West are practically neighbors! In a recent interview at his home in Wyoming, West passionately declared… 

“Things are changing and God has the last laugh"

MARKETHIVE EMAIL SYSTEM Powerful, Reliable And Ethical

The benefit of the Markethive Autoresponder is probably one of the most powerful aspects of our inbound marketing system. Our leads associate capture funnel systems unique method of using social networks to join Markethive and any other business you conduct from your Storefront within the Markethive platform ensures that Markethive produces an emailing system that delivers your messages within seconds to 97% of your recipients’ account with a 100% delivery to their INBOX. 

Note: The other 3% is usually because the recipients’ inbox is full and cannot receive any more emails.  

The Markethive Autoresponder System has been established for more than 20 years. The founder and CEO of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast invented the first autoresponder, then refined and established the email system and the concept of Automated Marketing which is now called Inbound Marketing. 

The Reality Of Email Delivery

We’d all like to think our messages reach our customers’ inbox but the reality is 1 in 5 don’t in many autoresponder systems. The unfortunate side of email is spam and although spam filters do a good job of detecting junk and send it straight to the spam folder, many organizations’ legitimate emails end up in the spam folder. If your subscribers don’t see your emails, they can’t open, click or convert. 

Emails that are able to make it past the gateway and spam filters are delivered to the inbox. Emails that are deemed malicious or untrustworthy are very often blocked at the gateway or sent straight to the spam folder. The spam filters look at the reputation of the sender, subscriber engagement and content to decide if it should be placed in the inbox or spam folder. 

 
Now Considered Old School

Email deliverability rates can really make or break an email marketing campaign. Primarily, email campaigns and autoresponders use a capture page opt-in form to collect data, being a name, email and often times a phone number. This takes time and usually a number of steps to complete. You then in some cases need to go to your email to verify it. It is well documented that the more steps in the signup form process, the more likely prospects will be lost for lack of follow-through. Email verification can reduce lead conversion up to 50%, delayed verification and delivery to spam folder reduce conversion up to 90%. 

 

Email Delivery A Top Priority

The delivery of email is paramount and a top priority at Markethive. We have dispensed the "old school" process of email verification replacing it with instantaneous “One Click” subscriptions, so we can now concentrate on delivering your autoresponders and email broadcasts out to your lead databases. 

This virtually guarantees the data is legitimate and the email is clean and not from a spam trap often acquired through website harvesting. The actions available to build email lists in Markethive are via Markethive Capture Widgets, Markethive Capture Pages, Markethive Blogs, and Markethive Profile Pages. This guarantees email quality and delivers to the members of Markethive, their subscribers and lead prospects’ email delivery “to the Inbox” of nearly 100%. 

 

Markethive Autoresponder Basic setup

Below is a video explaining the basics of setting up your autoresponder.

 

The whole purpose behind this is not to spam people or hit them with messages they don’t want, but to produce quality material that helps educate people and those who are looking for answers to their particular problem through systems like this.  By using these methods you establish authority and the credibility that your sphere of Influence you create will appreciate what you are doing.

  • Also, be sure to go to the Tutorial Group in Markethive where you will find numerous short and on-point video tutorials to learn how to get started and engage in all the facets Markethive offers. These will eventually be integrated into the Automated Tutorial System where you will be paid via our Micropayment Faucet in MHV Coin for taking each step in the program.  

 

Acceptable Or Unethical? You Decide…

Although it can satisfy your curiosity to track and know who clicked on your emails, this can only be achieved through sprites that are commonly used in some email systems which is essentially spying on the recipient. The email software adds a tiny invisible image to the body of your email. This is often called a web beacon or tracking pixel. 

Good marketing practices breed a good reputation. We do not engage in shifty and sneaky practices. We do not send email from our system with hidden spy images. We do not report to our subscribers what you view, what you clicked or looked at on any given day. 

 

What we do offer is a complete Market Network with everything under one roof to be able to conduct any business without having to go to individual vertical platforms for your marketing tools.  Just knowing you have a delivery rate of 100% to the inbox and a good reputation with the Markethive Email System is much better than a hit and miss scenario other systems suffer from due to their practices. You can track your productivity through the Markethive Analytics Integration solely built for you and your URLs. 

Markethive’s email and autoresponder systems are built for beginners through to Entrepreneurs and Business Owners at any level. It has utilized the OAuth technology to capture data via capture widgets through a choice of Social Media or verified email accounts situated on your capture pages, blogs, and profile pages. 

 

Conclusion 

Markethive embraces OAuth and Blockchain technology as it keeps all your data and hard work under your control. It cannot be deleted by anyone else but you. This process also prevents 3rd parties from tracking you on our secure distributed security data system.   So when registering and utilizing the complete marketing system within Markethive to build your business, including the autoresponder system (CRM and CMS)  your security and autonomy are our highest priority. Gone from our system is the aged old and nonsecure process of entering fields with your name, email, and phone, etc, coupled with a verification email and validation link. 

The advent of the blockchain adds several new twists and may serve to be the disruption that has been overdue for marketers and advertisers that are looking to take their targeted campaigns to the next level. We are in for a ride over the next couple of years as technologies like blockchain slip into every facet of our lives. It’s not the strongest who survive or smartest, but the most adaptable.

2020 the year of Markethive has arrived

Leave a comment

Alexa Rank reached so far

Markethive runs with the Big Dogs now, here are the reasons

Alexa ranking is now under 10,000 (8,965 at this writing) which means
150,000+ unique daily visitors (internal data confirmed by WorthofWeb https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/markethive.com/ )
Over 20 million monthly impressions
Domain worth over $4 million just based on traffic
Similar Banner programs to Markethive cost $15,000 and up to run a full month.

Example
CoinMarketCap Alexa 584 Cost for full month ad $285,808 USD

Contelegraph Alexa 2,795 Cost for full month ad $21,000 USD
Warriorforum Alexa 4,340  Cost for full month ad $38,700 USD

Coingecko Alexa 6,645 Cost for full month ad $33,488 USD

Newsarama Alexa 16,249 Cost for full month ad $17,847

 

The Banner Exchange
(One of the many benefits of our first loyalty program)

The upgrade to Entrepreneur One gives exclusive reseller rights to Markethive’s total site impressions. Each limited E1 (Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program) will max out at 500 subscriptions. With this scenario, as Markethive has already reached massive traffic and continues the meteoric climb, we can assume that by the end of the year, Markethive traffic will reach into the altitudes of Alexa rankings similar to our exceeding CoinTelegraph (Estimated impressions per month: 255,735,720) and WarriorForum (.Estimated impressions per month: 71,503,740).

Markethive is projected to reach somewhere within that range by years end. Even at todays impressions of over 20 million per month, the earnings just from reselling ad impressions per E! subscriptions, based on the max of 500 subscriptions would earn to day over $2000 per month and projected to climb to between $7,500 to $25,500 based on .05 per impression. Even lowering that estimation to just a penny per impression still yields a major profitable return. This is what drives Markethive, to build real business solutions for our members. It is the core of the Loyalty programs. To join the limited Entrepreneur One (E1) loyaty program just navigate to https://markethive.com/?upgrade (make sure you are logged in first) and join the program. It is limited to 500 and these accounts are going fast.

 

New Video System

Markethive has begun our migration to our own video system. No longer required for you to connect your Youtube account to Markethive to display videos, now any video can be displayed throughout your system with just simply adding the videos link at the point of post.

This is all in preparation for Markethive launching our own video platform at http://markethive.tube/ This new system will have the following features built into it.

  1. Live video broadcasting and publishing to the top 5 video systems (depending upon your registering your account to Markethive. Youtube | Vimeo | Dailymotion | Facebook | Twitch.
     
  2. Your Video channel will include a live newsfeed other members can post to similar to Youtubes Community channel https://www.youtube.com/markethiveceo/community but will also allow remote publishing from other networks.
     
  3. Auto publishing to 20 video and social platforms with one upload to Markethive. https://www.lemonlight.com/blog/20-places-to-post-your-video-now-that-its-done-1/
     
  4. Produce live interactive web conferences as the web conference system will integrated into Markethive’s video platform. Recording and broadcasting built into the system
     

Markethive’s old Youtube API system has been removed. If you had archived videos within that system, you will have to start a new with the new system as it was not possible to transfer the old system over due to Youtube preventing us from accessing the required account codes to do so. We apologize for this disruption, but it was not possible to move forward without this disruption.

 

Public Crowd Funding

We are going to launch our official crowd funding campaign this first quarter of the year. This means a significant ICO style marketing campaign, utilizing a top industry consultant, influencer Youtube channels, and press releases. The traffic will flow to our crowd funding site, which will be replicated for all Entrepreneur One loyalty members and will also rotate all the traffic to the root domain to be shared with active Entrepreneur One loyalty members. There is a major benefit to the EI loyalty members and that is receiving a matching bonus for all ILP’s that are acquired through the campaign site. What this means as Markethive acquires more ILP members, our Entrepreneur One loyalty members will receive matching ILP shares.

Crowd Funding will drive new business via new traffic from well targeted audiences. We have literally been preparing for t5his launch for several years. We are very close to launching our first wallet allowing certified members to transfer coin to exclusive exchanges. Markethive and our dynamic ecosystem is about to become mainstream. We are targeting gaining over 1 million new members during this campaign.

If you want to be part of this, you need to be upgraded to the Entrepreneur One loyalty program found at (must be logged in) https://markethive.com/?upgrade .
This is our first loyalty program and will be our most lucrative. It is also limited to 500 members, after number 500 upgrades, it will never be available again.

 

Listing on Exchanges

We are now aggressively working to get the MHV coin listed on a few top exchanges. This should go pretty fast as the integrity of the MHV coin is stellar. Highly ranked Alexa score. Millions of coin transactions on the blockchain. A growing active community. A massive amount of positive articles on thousands of media sites, press releases, forums, etc. An A+ BBB rating. An active and running system.

Example of the requirements as stated from Poloniex:

Straight from their websites: “We don’t have a definitive set of criteria as each project is unique. We listen to the community and select projects that we believe are unique, innovative, and that our users would be interested in trading.” If your coin isn’t complete vaporware and has real demand, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem getting it listed. Poloniex cautions they cannot list coins that resemble securities. Their website explicitly mentions The Howey Test. Assuming you read our Guide to Launching an ICO, you know the importance of the Howey Test. But just in case you need a refresher: The Howey Test was a precedent from a 1946 Supreme Court case. The ruling gave the SEC guidelines as to what could be considered a security. So, make sure your coin doesn’t resemble one.

The leads or other developers of your coin must have fully verified accounts on Poloniex. With new coins trying to get listed daily, it would be arduous for the Poloniex team to manually verify the identity of everyone submitting. Poloniex does not require or accept payment for listing, so you don’t have to budget for that to get your coin on the exchange. The process is relatively simple.

Here is the link and as you can see, we will cruise easily through this process of getting listed.

https://www.coinist.io/how-to-get-your-digital-token-listed-on-an-exchange/

Which now leads us to….

The Wallet Loyalty Program release

Our wallet is going to be released in phases or waves so to speak. The first release will make the wallet available to Entrepreneur One Loyalty Members. This release is imminent. The next release will be rolled out after the Vault is completed and will be included in Markethive’s entry loyalty program.

The “apprentice” loyalty program is in the works and will be released soon, but as far as date setting goes, we do not do it. I will expand more on our new loyalty programs here in the near future.

Eventually the wallet will be open to everyone, but government regulations are slowing it down.

 

The Loyalty programs

Markethive’s first and enterprise level loyalty program is the Entrepreneur One Loyalty program. It includes every current and coming platforms like the Banner exchange, the Press release exchange, the video ad exchange, the social network broadcast exchange, the NewsFeed Boosts and the list will be infinite. It also rewards 12 months with a 1/10th ILP (Incentivized Loan Program). It is limited to 500 members.

Once filled Entrepreneur Two will be released, it will cost more, will not include the banner exchange and the 12 month loyalty reward is reduced to 1/20th of an ILP. It will be limited to 1000 people.

The Entrepreneur Loyalty Program will continue to release different levels as the company expands it’s services.

There will also be an entry level loyalty program (apprentice) as well as a mid-level one (journey). The entry level will have a handful of benefits, like a matching bonus lock, the wallet a dn access to membership searches, messaging and deeper analysis of who has visited your blogs and profile page.

The mid-level loyalty program (journey) will be focused on delivering the same benefits as the entry program and in addition greater rewards for completing the automated tutorials and blogging and blog subscribing.

Loyalty programs reward you for making a monthly monetary commitment to Markethive. Loyalty programs give you greater advantage, reach and benefits free members do not receive. Similar to LinkedIn.

 

Pruning Policy

Markethive does not terminate accounts based on behaviour, or policy violations. If you want your account deleted, only you can do so. There are two ways to delete (completely removing all your content, videos, blogs, newsfeed posts and comments, coins, friends, associates, etc.
 

  1. Log in and go to Settings (https://markethive.com/settings) > Profile Page and click the delete Account link and confirm 2 times and your system will be completely purged and all activities and remnants of your existence in Markethive will be gone, forever with no options to restore. Or….
     
  2. Do not login for over 6 months and your account will automatically be pruned, terminated all evidence, friends, associates, coins, holdings record, images, videos, (everything just like delete above) will be deleted permanently with no options to restore. This is because we are going to be enacting KYC to make sure all members are legitimate members, to prevent scamming and fraud from the system. This will also satisfy the ever encroaching anti-terrorist laws of the United States and other world principalities.
     
  3. If you were a BOD holder from the defunct Shell Holdings, your BOD was grandfathered over to Markethive and converted to an ILP. If you terminate or allow your account to be pruned, you will have forfeited that conversion with no ability to retrieve it. It would be wise to pay attention, because Markethive is going to achieve success.
     

If you have not logged in in a long time, yet received this email, then it would be an urgent matter to log in sooner than later. If your account has already been pruned, due to not logging in over 6 months, then you will not receive this email.

We project Markethive will achieve over 1 million subscribers or more by years end of 2020. We do pray you will stay the course with us.

 

Our Support dedication

We are currently using Telegram for our support, which runs 24/7. It is a community based system, so all support issues are broadcasted to the entire Telegram group members. Full transparency and allows us to deliver to you a better support experience than found anywhere else. Consider Facebook, Google, LinkiedIn, Uber and Twitter having some of the lowest rating for support, Google support is a number that never answers and an email that never get’s returned and a forum that is never responded to.

But the mother of all worse support is IBOtoolbox. The only satisfaction you will ever get there is they use Paypal and when you do a chargeback, they do not even repond to it, so you can always get your payment returned. The humorous part is their support forum is over run by spammers and porn/ Honestly, how can companies behave so callously and stay in business. Now to be fair…

There are companies out there with incredible support and on my top of the list is Knownhost. They only support via email, but are fast, responsive and effective. This is why after 10 years I still host all my non Markethive domains with them. I give then an A PLUS! Amazon is another stellar company in the support field and deserve an A PLUS as well. I am never dissatisfied when I need to contact them, ever! And second place goes to GoDaddy where they annoy me a little bit with their interface, their support is quick, intelligent and responsive, so I give them an A.

I was raised in my early years of business by a wealthy business man who drove into my head, deliver the very best quality backed up by the very best service and support and you will be successful. Simple as that, and that is Markethive!

 

Focus on Quality is our prime objective

It may have taken us 20 years to build Markethive, but not only is Markethive innovation above and beyond any potential competitor, but attention to excellence and perfection are built into our DNA. We are never satisfied with “Good Enough” or even worse, “What do you expect for free?” We are dedicated to deliver the very best quality systems and we compete within ourselves, rarely paying attention to how others may try to do it. Innovation, not replication, quality instead of mediocrity, offering tutorials to help gain understanding and perspective creating loyalty, yep this is Markethive and it belongs to you our members as well.

 

Building a Nurturing Culture

Requiring all members to validate their true identity is done to make sure the culture in Markethive is populated with real people revealing their real identity. This is done to prevent hacking, scamming and criminal activities. A true validated identity fosters trust and relationships. KYC also makes it easier for Markethive to operate worldwide especially within those countries who have set up severe obstacles in regards to crypto and their KYC|AML regulations. Case in point is this article

Deribit Releases Specifics of New KYC Policy Following Move to Panama

Deribit, a crypto futures and options exchange that is moving from the Netherlands to Panama to avoid Europe’s new Anti-Money Laundering law has released its newly updated Know Your Customer (KYC) policy.

In a Jan. 17 blog post, Deribit clearly said that its relocation to Panama has been mainly caused by the new Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), a major European law that aims to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing by stricter regulation of crypto-related businesses.

Markethive is delivering a unique system, where our coin is not for the sake of raising funds, like every other crypto enterprise, but to fuel our own ecosystem. Here is the basics of our system as simply as I can illustrate it.

  1. We are populated with likeminded entrepreneurial people from all walks of life, from every country in the world. A true melting pot all with a desire to achieve financial freedom and economic sovereignty.
     
  2. Markethive offers an Inbound Marketing platform on par with the best platforms like Marketo (recently sold to Adobe for $4.75 billion). Inbound Marketing platforms include: Customer | Lead acquisition and management systems (CMS); Email broadcasting and autoresponders; Lead capture funnel pages; Landing and sales pages; Community based (exclusive to Markethive) Social Network broadcasting (like Hootsuit); Blogging platform (exclusive Markethive feature broadcasting to subscribers WordPress); Automated educational tutorials (exclusive to Markethive); Lead associates nurturing (exclusive to Markethive your leads or associates,  “members” are offered to get paid to use the system, take the tutorials and promote the system subscribe to your social networks and engage in the community.); Content production via blogs, and a whole lot more in building and maintaining campaigns, coops, rotational traffic, etc.
     
  3. Store Fronts that integrate referral accounts, shopping carts, recruiting pages, integrated Ebay, Amazon, Etsy etc., selling platforms.
     
  4. Production of digital media content from a large population of members that pays you to subscribe and pays you to publish. Where best content gets added to the Markethive distributions systems earning even more for the producers.
     
  5. Community based News Feeds, groups and support platforms that build a community as well as Internet reach and seo dominance (exclusive Markethive service)
     
  6. Advertising services: Banner Exchange, Press releases, Editorials, Sponsored Articles, Live (Influencer) Interviews, News Feed Boosts, Videos, Social Network Broadcasting, WordPress Broadcasting, and more.
     

Building an empowered community is the primary vision of Markethive. Incentivized, ongoing training, comradery, common mission, integrated growing community. It is being the building of the community with access to these powerful tools and commerce platforms that delivers unparalleled results.

Markethive has produced the ability for every individual in every diverse culture in every country the ability to build a real financial solution, a sovereign freedom that this system offers; that no other system has envisioned or come close to achieving.

And that is a nurturing culture and is exactly why Markethive is dedicated to create and is delivering; a real membership of verified and validated likeminded members.

 

Markethive Morning live broadcasts

Markethive will be broadcasting live video broadcast talk shows several times per week. They will be live video broadcasts and will be broadcasting from the Markethive Newsfeed for now as well os direct via Youtube.

These broadcasts will be called Markethive Live until we come up with a better brand. Feel free to make suggestions in the comment section of this blog.

See you all there

THE BANNER PROGRAM AT MARKETHIVE

Leave a comment

THE BANNER PROGRAM AT MARKETHIVE

There are so many facets to Markethive, as it is a complete Market Network with a Social Media interface. It has everything you need to succeed in whatever it is that you do online, including the potential of extra revenue made available to *Entrepreneur One (E1) associates through the Banner Program. Our banner program is very innovative, where Markethive returns 100% of our ad-revenue back into your pocket. There have been 20+ years of high energy poured into Markethive. This is a Divine inspiration and places all of the members of Markethive first and foremost. 

AAA Real Estate

The banners slots in the Banner Program are AAA top of the page real estate and displayed on the complete Markethive Network which includes the many websites Markethive owns. This means your banners are viewed not just by members within Markethive, but also to the vast internet traffic and onlookers. 

Notably, the lower your Alexa Rank, No 1 being the top, the more expensive the banner advertisements. With Markethive’s ever-decreasing Alexa ranking (currently at 9,008) and since there are millions of sites ranked by Alexa, that’s way up there in terms of traffic,  plus a consistently increasing number of unique visitors and members at Markethive. Being an E1 member gives you ownership of a limited resource of the most prominent, sought after advertising spot in Markethive and makes this an exceptional lucrative opportunity. 

To give you an example, at Coinmarketcap, the banners are being sold for an average of $300,000+ a month. To break it down you will pay $16 per CPM (Clicks Per Mille = 1 Thousand Impressions) On average the estimated impressions for a top banner per month are 23,190,000. That works out to $371,056 per month.  Coinmarketcap currently sits at 593 on Alexa Ranking. 

Now let’s have a Markethive example. Let’s say the E1 is capped at 300 members. 165,000 unique visitors divided by 300 EP1s = 550 impressions on 1 page. The number of impressions into 50 pages per day would equate to 27,500 equalling 825,000 impressions per month. So if you had to pay a rate of say $10 per CPM, that would equal $8,250 a month for banner advertising expenses. 

Keep in mind these banners will be viewed on the complete Markethive Network and all other systems that we have, so the number of impressions any banner receives will be exponential. 

You will get this type of exposure for only $100 per month with the Entrepreneur One Upgrade. This part of the program is up and running now where you can create a banner and upload it via the Advertising page found in your profile settings. 

Very soon Markethive will be launching the Banner Exchange where any E1 member can create a Banner Ad business within the Markethive system by putting their unused Banner slots/impressions up for bid and being paid in MHV. If you have no need to use them yourself why not sell them?  

https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/markethive.com/

The Banner Exchange 

The Banner Exchange, exclusive to the Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program where each E1 member receives an equal share of the total number of impressions from the massive traffic Markethive receives. 

We are now basically hitting 165,000 visits per day. Pageviews, (impressions) are nearly 25 million per month. With the very real possibility of the Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program closing at 300 members, that equals around 83,000 impressions allotted to each E1 loyalty member, who can then sell their unwanted impressions on the Markethive Banner exchange which is open to all Markethive members to purchase. At today’s impression value of .02 per impression, that equals a potential income just from the banners of $1,660 per month, with the potential be a lot more.

Coming soon, there will be a group in Markethive with a banner ad exchange panel/interface where all members can visit and view the banner slots, times and dates available, etc, that are up for bid. You can stipulate whatever price you see fit. Also, Markethive Coin (MHV) will be the only currency used to purchase the banner slots.

My guess is some people are saying “I have no use for the Banner Ad Program”. Or “I don’t use banners. I don’t have a personal business that requires banner advertising”  Being an Entrepreneur One Upgrade gives you the opportunity to have a Banner business and make a significant income. And this is apart from the ILP that is also included which is considered a legacy and a very lucrative living.

 

Are Impressions Important For Your Business?

Yes, they are the very foundation of the advertising process. They are important for branding campaigns. Awareness is created from impressions and continuing to drive impressions will be key to brand success. Increased impressions will lead to increased engagement and community size.

1. Impressions are the “eyes” that see your add. This could be as little as a three-second scroll in some cases.

2. Reach/Engagements involve some kind of interaction, usually. But the impression comes first.

3. Lastly, clicks, and/or actions are the most important. That is where your leads, and ultimately, your sales come from.

You can’t have reach or clicks without impressions first. Without impressions, which is the availability to view, there would be no clicks.

 

How Does The Banner Exchange Work?

The Bidder pays you for the banner slot. They will then upload their banner into your Banner Control System and the Markethive Admin will take the necessary steps to approve it.

Note: There are certain guidelines and qualifications that need to be followed when creating a banner: 

  • Ensure your banner is sized to 960px x 80px.
  • Use images with white or transparent backgrounds.
  • Fade any graphics to white that touch the banner edge.

If it doesn’t meet the qualifications. Markethive reserves the right to make changes to it. This will be free of charge as an Entrepreneur. 

So now you can sell your banner slots if you are not going to use them for your personal business. This is a limited resource to an ever-expanding market. The demand is only going to continue to increase.

 

A message from the CEO and Founder of Markethive Thomas Prendergast explaining the Banner Exchange Platform, with even bigger numbers and the comparisons of other sites in our industry.  

 

MHV Coin Velocity

If you’re wondering how the value of the Markethive Coin (MHV) is measured, here is a simple explanation of how the ecosystem works. The Banner Program is just one more way Markethive is increasing our coin velocity. The fact that we are a meritocracy, exponentially growing daily as a social network with all the marketing tools, gamification, and loyalty programs we have and are still implementing is ensuring the credibility, velocity, and ultimate success of the Markethive Ecosystem and its Universal Income. 

Many coins and tokens on the market have no velocity as they don’t have a real use case. All the services free and otherwise Markethive offers, increase the velocity, supply, and demand of the MHV coin. Utilizing the coin within Markethive for services and loyalty programs including but not limited to,

  • Faucets/Micropayments
  • Incentive Loan Program
  • Press Releases 
  • Sponsored Articles
  • Banner advertisement 
  • Banner Slot Bids
  • Boosting Posts
  • The Vault

By the very nature of MHV being a consumer coin, it’s not open to speculation like many other coins on the market. The benefits of being on the inside of Markethive transacting with MHV in its ecosystem are many, and while this is happening velocity and demand increase.  The added benefit is the Markethive Exchange and MHV being listed on 3rd party exchanges gives it liquidity. 

 

Come to the Markethive meetings held every Sunday at 10 am Mountain Time. The meetings hosted by the CEO, Thomas Prendergast, and CTO, Douglas Yates are live, relaxed, very inspiring and above all very transparent.  Stay informed about the massive undertaking and progress Markethive is making for the benefit of every Markethive member. The way Markethive is structured we have a lot to look forward to.  

Conclusion

The introduction of the Banner Exchange which is a great way to earn even more income is just one more reason to Upgrade to Entrepreneur One before it closes for good. This is very limited and once the Banner Ad Exchange Panel is released the E1 Loyalty Program along with the Banner Program offer ends to new members, but all existing and active E1s will have the Banner Program and income potential for life. Active meaning they are current and in good standing with their $100 per month subscription.  

As the Markethive community exponentially grows, the demand for Banner ads just internally will be huge and they will only be available from E1s. Keep that in mind as we approach 5 million, 50 million, 500 million or more.

If you’re not an E1 member you will still be able to benefit from the massive traffic Markethive produces by purchasing Banner impressions with MHV within the Markethive ecosystem from Entrepreneur One Associates. That in itself is a marketers’ dream to actually have traffic to their site.

There is still a little time to get your own lucrative banner business within your Markethive business by upgrading to the Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program. Ready to upgrade? Welcome aboard! Entrepreneur One Upgrade

THE INCENTIVIZED LOAN PROGRAM ILP A Powerful Way To Spread The Wealth

Leave a comment

THE INCENTIVIZED LOAN PROGRAM (I.L.P) A Powerful Way To Spread The Wealth.

The Incentivized Loan Program is a powerful and beneficial way to spread the wealth. The ILP is essentially a loan and is regulatory friendly and in compliance with the UCC Code, in that, they can be compliant even with the most stringent regulatory frameworks around the world when it comes to fraud and money laundering. 

The ILP is like a convertible note which is defined as a type of short term debt financing used in early-stage capital raises. You can think of it as an IOU. 

It is essentially a legitimate way to finance projects via the blockchain and has been created and utilized by Markethive as an alternative crowdfunding means of raising funds.  Markethive is the first to offer the Incentivized Loan Program and will be one of the first companies to raise capital by decentralized crowdfunding of debt. 

ILP holders also share in the success of the company and enjoy a form of a return via interest from the net profit of the company which is 20% of the net revenue paid monthly and a balloon payment to be paid at the end of the duration of the note of 20 years. 

Here is a bullet point breakdown…

  • An Incentivized Loan Program creates a legally binding and conforming loan agreement. Because it is a debt instrument, it is not subject to tax and is compliant with the USA UCC code governing debt instruments. 

  • It is open to individuals around the world as loans are allowed almost everywhere.

  • The company doesn’t need to create tokens that are speculative and actually have no use. 

  • Markethive onboard operational capital through this debt structure. ILP holders are issued a transferable secure blockchain token.

  • The maximum amount of ILPs is limited to 1000, although we are targeting to distribute less than 1000. 1 share equals 1 full ILP.

  • Revenue generated from Markethive’s multiple revenue streams will fund the interest payments, paid through the ILP via the blockchain in MHV which can then be converted into the currency of your choice via the Markethive Coin Exchange.

  • 20% of the Net Revenue is paid to all ILP token holders per their pro-rata share as interest payments, as long as the principal is outstanding. A balloon payment is then paid out after 20 years and can be extended upon mutual agreement.  

  • The ILP Blockchain will securely, efficiently and accurately pay the interest payments on a periodical monthly basis. There can be no tampering with blockchain technology. 

  • ILP tokens are sellable through Markethive’s peer to peer auction-style exchange. This gives the ILP token holder control over their exit plan. 

  • ILPs can be broken down into fractions thereof. This can be down to 1/1000th of an ILP. There is a dedicated internal ILP Markethive Exchange being built where members can buy and sell their ILPs or fractions of their ILPs. This turns the ILP into a cash cow. 

  •  ILPs can also be obtained by upgrading from a free member to one of the Entrepreneur Loyalty Programs currently priced at $100 per month. A 1/10th of an ILP is allotted to you after 12 months of consecutive payments and for every year thereafter that you are an active subscriber. 

Imminent Growth – Lucrative Outcome

Based on the continual exponential growth according to internal and external data sources as well as ongoing development along with achieving every single milestone over the past 5 years, we are super confident we will exceed 5 million members within the next 2 years.

This is a very conservative estimate, however, based on this data, let’s play around with some figures. We can expect the following growth…

With just 10% of Markethive’s 5 million members upgrading to one of our Loyalty Programs at $100 per month equates to a monthly income of $5 million per month. 20% of the net revenue would be approximately $10 million per month. Divided by the maximum number of 1000 ILP shares, would represent a monthly income of $10,000 per month. For the holders of 1/10th of an ILP that represents a cool $1000 per month for a subscription payment of $100 per month. 

As the company grows the revenue will reflect that growth for a projected duration of 20 years before the loan becomes due which is regarded as a balloon payment. When we initially offered ILPs to our members, they were listed at $10,000, but as a growing amount of ILPs has already been acquired, the ILP is now listed at $100,000 per ILP.  As Markethive gets closer to exponential growth the value of the ILP will continue to increase along with the monthly interest payments. 

“An ILP is like owning an Oil Well”, as described by Thomas Prendergast, the Founder, and CEO of Markethive. 

Markethive is making it easy to access the ILPs for our rank and file members as we believe and embrace making Markethive everyone’s company. The Markethive coin along with the micropayment faucet is another process of giving our members long term wealth and revenue with a true ecosystem to make use of our coin beyond valuable.

Creating a “Universal Income” for entrepreneurs. Using our state-of-the-art integrated inbound marketing platform, social network, artificial intelligence, business services, ewallet, coin exchange, mining datacenter, incubator and blockchain income platforms for success in the crypto-preneurial and entrepreneurial markets.

View Markethive’s White Paper https://markethive.net/Markethive.Whitepaper.V4.pdf

 

So how do you get your hands on your share of an ILP? You can choose from the following 3 ways…

  1. You can wait for the ILP exchange to be completed and the Markethive wallet in place and then buy ILPs or shares from other members in the exchange.

  2. You can purchase ILP shares or partial shares from us (Markethive) directly. We sell full shares and fractions thereof as small as 1/100th for $1000. Purchase an ILP outright by contacting Douglas @ cfo@markethive.net (priorities are given to ILP purchasers) 

  3. You can upgrade to Entrepreneur One and receive a 1/10th share every year for up to 10 years, which works out to $1,200 a year and receive a 1/10th share. And once you have an Entrepreneur One account and stay current, you keep that account as long as you want.

Markethive Weekly Webinars – Do Yourself A Favor

There’s always something new and exciting happening here at Markethive and what better way to keep informed than attending our weekly live meetings. The Markethive Calendar is your go-to when checking what and when the meetings are held and also where. Situated in the blue navigational bar, and clicking on “Calendar” will display a pop-up window with the event, date, time and link to join. 

 

Currently, The New Markethive Economy meeting takes place on the Zoom platform. Google Hangouts may be used from time to time also. Wherever the meetings are held, the link will always be in the Markethive Calendar for you to access easily and quickly. These platforms are for the interim period until we launch our conference room at Markethive.

Markethive weekly meetings are live with the CEO and Founder Thomas Prendergast presenting and CTO, and Chief Engineer, Douglas Yates giving us all the latest updates as we move forward to launch and with the integration of the many facets which make Markethive unique in the many industries it covers, from Blockchain, Crypto and eCommerce, to Inbound Marketing, Digital media publishing, and MLM. (Note: These meetings are not recorded.)

There is always something new to learn when attending these meetings. Not only do you keep up to date with the latest news and get a better understanding of Markethive’s proprietary technology, but you’re welcome to give feedback or ask questions for more clarity on anything pertaining to the Markethive platform. 

It Lifts You Up Where You Belong

It is vitally important every new member coming into Markethive understands that it’s not just about the system, it’s about the character and caliber of people within the Markethive system. Based on collaboration, benevolence, and transparency, not division, greed, or opacity. The Markethive meetings are real and transparent, not hyped up and fake. They are uplifting and confidence-building jammed packed with valuable information and above all, friendly and supportive. 

 

Google Calendar Integration

What chaos would we be in if we didn’t have a calendar to remind us of our busy schedule? So instead of just going to the Markethive Calendar for the event within the back office, we have integrated the Google Calendar for both time-management and scheduling Markethive events, webinars, and leads that all auto-publish to your Google calendar. So you can be notified and gain access to any information and the link to attend all of the meetings from your personal calendar. This makes it even easier and is just one of the services in the Markethive environment. 

This tutorial video below will give you all the information on your Google Calendar to become a master at time management and never miss a meeting at Markethive. 

Random Airdrops… Bonus!

Most meetings randomly have MHV Coin Airdrops and the recipients are chosen from the people who attend any given meeting. These airdrops can vary and are often into thousands of coins. It’s a great incentive to attend and a sure-fire way to rapidly accumulate your MHV coin clip portfolio. The airdrops are distributed by Thomas Prendergast, so be on the lookout for a surprise in your coin clip. 

To make it even more interesting we invariably hold competitions which are announced at the weekly webinar and you will hear it first by attending the Markethive Meetings!   The old saying…”You never know if you never go!”  

 


 

Another Good Reason To Attend

As Markethive is in BETA, we are considered early adopters. Imagine sitting in at the meetings with the board of directors at Facebook or LinkedIn. Markethive is built for the people, with the people and is of the people and being decentralized on the Blockchain with its own ecosystem built-in, it’s very much your company and you are highly valued. You come first, so of course, with this ethos and the fundamental architecture of Markethive, your imminent success is Markethive’s success. 

Along with the Automated Tutorials system and Markethive Telegram Support Channel, you can learn so much from the weekly webinars while you are made to feel a part of the very fabric of Markethive. The first and only Social Market Network with its own Blockchain is the complete ecosystem for the Entrepreneur of which we can rightfully consider ourselves to be. 

Markethive is for everyone, particularly for the rank and file and a place to attain financial, personal and professional sovereignty. Thanks to the God-given vision and technology of Markethive we all have a way to succeed online. We no longer belong in the 99%ers.  

“Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.”  – Henry Ford

You yourself determine your own success or failure. Self-confidence is a powerful thing. If you think you can, you will succeed or somehow find a way to do it. 

Find a way to get to the Markethive weekly meetings. It’s an exhilarating way to build your self-confidence. See you there!

Markethive Hive Ranking System Rewarding Your Efforts – Increases Your Earnings

Leave a comment

Markethive Hive Ranking System
Rewarding Your Efforts – Increases Your Earnings

The Hive Rank – What is it? 

Markethive’s Hive Rank algorithmically calculates and scores your activity and the interactivity you receive on your productivity you accomplish within the Markethive system.

The system tracks your engagements which include activities such as commenting on posts, friending and following people, subscribing to members’ blogs, messaging, joining groups, tipping and all other basic good practices that will have a positive effect on your hive rank score. It will increase and in doing so, increase your earnings. 

This also includes productivity like creating or swiping blogs, posting, creating capture pages, capture widgets, setting up autoresponders, creating groups, etc. All of this activity assigns predetermined and various calculated values that determine your score on any given day. These values do have a half-life which means depending on your activity, they will diminish which causes your score to fluctuate. In other words, your Hive Rank points expire and constant activity helps to keep your total score at a maximum.

Scores can reach into the thousands, depending on how consistently active you are on the platform, and the reciprocity achieved,  along with your utilization of the inbound marketing tools at your disposal and marketing efforts. High scores can also increase your micropayment faucet earnings, Infinity Bounty rewards, achieving Super Status and becoming qualified to achieve the coveted “Royal Bee of the Day”. 

Super Status – Royal Bee Of The Day (This is currently in development.)

Royal Bee which is Level 6 on the hive rank score is the highest one can achieve. The trick is to stay there. One of the benefits is you will be given the accolade of “Royal Bee For The Day” that will be on display for all to see.  This achievement can only be acquired once every 30 days. 

While you reign in this esteemed position for the day, you will receive all the new signups into Markethive for that day produced by the Markethive Marketing Department. That means as an Entrepreneur Upgrade, you will also receive the 500 coin matching bonus for each verified registration of all signups. Plus your micropayments faucet earnings will also be increased for any activity performed.  

What About Free Members?

Those who are a free member can still achieve the status of Royal Bee For The Day. This will put you in Entrepreneur Upgrade status for the day and you’ll receive the same rewards accordingly. 

Note: As a rule of thumb, you do not receive the matching bonus, as a free member, however, the associates you acquire through the system will be held for you as your associates and if you decide to upgrade within the first 30 day period you will be paid a 100% of the matching bonus of 500 coins. 

 

What steps Do You Need To Take To Activate The Hive Rank?

Whether you are a free member or an Entrepreneur Upgrade, to activate the Hive Ranking system you must have at least three referrals registered in Markethive through you. This includes verification of their phone number upon joining. If they don’t complete the verification process, then technically they have not joined Markethive. 

The Key 

It’s not just what you do within the Markethive Platform, your Hive Rank is also driven up by the engagement you receive when you post or market your blogs and/or capture pages. If your content gets a response and a lot of traffic coming to your site that also increases your hive rank. 

For example, when you create a capture page and promote anywhere on the internet, that capture page will, in turn, drive your Hive Rank numbers up.  So it’s not just what you do within Markethive, your hive ranking score increases due to the results of what you do. 

The key is to be active and consistent with all that Markethive offers to achieve these generous rewards which can only increase your universal income within the Markethive Ecosystem. 

Gamified But Cannot Be Gamed

Gamification makes it fun, exciting and competitive and above all increase your earning potential. Notably, there are limits to certain activities. For example, you can’t produce 10 blogs with one line of content on any given day just for the sake of increasing your score. You can create as many blogs as you like, however, your Hive Rank score will not reflect your activity in that case. 

So, in essence, the system cannot be gamed. Not even the creators of the algorithm can game or manipulate the system. 

Remember, some activities are time-limited so your hive ranking can drop but will rise after performing those tasks again. Eg: Logging in to Markethive daily. Alternatively, if you are blocked by a member, this can negatively impact your score for a time. The various categories included in the Hive Rank system can be found under settings and has 41 active categories at this stage.

Like a credit score of your activity and actions, the Markethive system monitors actions you conduct and rates them into an algorithm to display a rank level commensurate with your activity, engagement, and behavior. 

 

Markethive Is Built For You

Markethive has got you covered with an excellent gamification system that produces real income. It also enhances the building of your business with Markethive services and makes it fun and rewarding! There are many other platforms that are gamified, however, it is all in-house. You are rewarded with points or credits only. This only allows you to use those credits within that certain platform for advertising your brand, which otherwise would cost you money to do so. 

Markethive being the complete ecosystem built on the Blockchain, with its own Crypto Exchange, the Vault, mining hives, (in development), Markethive Cryptocurrency Coin (MHV), and products for sustainability will provide you with universal income with ease of liquidity to use that income. 

The Hive Rank is responsible for bonuses, bounties, and increases in revenue and plays a big part in the interest you earn in the upcoming Vault. Currently, in development, the Vault will replace the current payment center with a far more effective and rewarding system. It’s like having your own bank account within the Markethive ecosystem! The higher your Hive Rank the more interest paid to you. The Markethive Vault is unique and will be ready along with the Markethive Wallet. More about this in upcoming articles. 

Stay informed on all the developments of the Markethive Ecosystem by attending the weekly webinar on Sundays at 10 am Mountain Time. The link to join us at that time can be found in the Calendar in the blue navigation bar at the top of your Markethive home Page. Need to know what time it is in your country? Go here… https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html 

It is important to note Markethive is not an MLM or affiliate company, it is a referral company. So free members can benefit greatly by just referring 3 people which will activate the faucet or micropayments and Hive Rank. That means you don’t have to spend any money within the system. Simply build it and get rewarded.  

 

Markethive is the next generation of all things social media and marketing. So “GET ACTIVE!” and conduct your business and online activities with a system that truly rewards you so that you may have the success and create wealth that will surpass any other social media platform out there today.

Inbound Marketing Real World Example

Leave a comment

I just acquired my own home, complete with DIY home renovations etc. I used to be a general contractor way back in the 70s. So I can do most of the work, or even better, hire someone and know the work is being done correctly and timely. So I am now the perfect customer for the home improvement industry.

I have a kitchen to redo. I went to the local hardware store to look at their store models. I looked at some upscale homes for sale to see what their kitchens looked like, to get ideas. I am exploring. I became aware of a new technique called epoxy counter tops.

So I start searching for more information on epoxy counter tops. Is the epoxy toxic? Does it hold up with years of kitchen use, how do you do it yourself, you get the picture. So I find many sites online about it, but most of them are trying to sell me some product or to hire them or buy their premade counter tops and I keep searching around. As I search I keep running into very explanatory blogs about the epoxy counters and these are published by a company called Stone Coat Counter Tops. (https://www.stonecoatcountertops.com/) They offer a ton of instructions, information which has convinced me to make a simulated granite set of counters for my kitchen saving me huge costs.

I discovered their videos on their Youtube channel where they have over 500,000 subscribers, receiving views in the millions.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3fH_b2I1Y

It also helps that the owner that does the videos is pretty cool with a wonderful sense of humour. You can’t help liking him and that makes me want to do business with them.

Now I am interested in their product, so I check out their Twitter account, yep great support there, with only 1500 followers, but represented. They have a current Facebook page with 209,000 followers, impressed so far. They have a humble following on LinkedIn (202 followers) and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/stonecoatcountertop (23,400 followers)

Bottom line they are well branded on the Internet. I have growing confidence, next step to call them and reach out to them.

See the Inbound Marketing at work?

I will continue on with this project and report in the comments below. These types of projects is what Markethive is designed to accelerate and leverage.
