The Markethive Vault – Unlock Your Potential

The Marketing and Engineering genius and visionary, Thomas Prendergast, CEO, and Douglas Yates, CTO, along with his team is laying the final foundation for the wallet installation – The Markethive Vault. 

The Vault is your new bank account and will also replace the current payment center with a far more effective and rewarding system. This will make all your purchases and upgrades easier to manage, giving you rewards and creating a new class of token, likened to a stablecoin, called Markethive Ad Credits, rewarding thrift and savings with discounts and interest paid to you monthly.

The Vault holds Markethive Ad Credits and MHV coin. It will pay interest on your threshold amount, MHV coin you have deposited into the Vault and your Coin Clip balance. It will also be the source to pay for **services. You will be able to fund it automatically or manually by Credit Card, and Bitcoin. Auto Payments can be scheduled to keep a minimum balance to ensure the monthly paid services like the Entrepreneur Upgrade run smoothly. 

As well as interest paid, the higher the balance in your vault, the higher your Hive Ranking will go. Higher Hive ranking will unlock additional banners and a new service Markethive is introducing in the near future, The Video Program,  where you are paid to watch videos.

 

What Are The Services? 

The **services I am referring to are the Incentivized Loan Program™, Entrepreneur Upgrade, and SNAP Department that are available right now. This will also include Video Advertising, Press Releases, Boost Advertising, in fact, all services in due course.

INCENTIVIZED LOAN PROGRAM™ and ENTREPRENEUR UPGRADE: 

The ILP™ is completely and totally compliant to the regulatory and UCC code which means it is not a security. Incentivized Loan Program is a loan. There is no limit to the amount of money you choose to loan Markethive. 

The best part is even the small investor can participate by way of the Entrepreneur Program at $100 per month. This earns you a 1/10th share of an ILP for every 12 months that you continuously contribute to the program. That is significant as the ILP will be like a Bitcoin in that it will be able to be broken down into satoshis or bits, ie: 1 millionth of a token. So 1 full ILP equals 1 million ILP tokens or satoshis. More on this in upcoming articles.

This enables Markethive to conduct bounties, rewards, and trading on the ILP. The ILP and Entrepreneur Loyalty Programs simply turns this powerful engine of Markethive into a cash cow. 

Additionally, taking part in the Entrepreneur One Loyalty Program unlocks the coming commerce hubs and portals, Banner Ad Program, etc, and the matching MHV Coin Bonus for each of your referrals into Markethive. 

THE SNAP DEPARTMENT

S.N.A.P is the acronym for Social Network Auto Poster system. This service is a plugin to your WordPress site and will automatically post your articles and blogs and the blogs you subscribe to, to all your social media and blogging platforms. This gives you incredible reach to enable you to build your brand awareness and presence online. 

Furthermore, The Snap Department will become an Advertising Agency and will consist of 

• Staff Writers to write articles or a series of autoresponder emails for you.
• Designers to do Banners Ads, images and logos
• Research Department to research for you for marketing purposes
• Professionals to design and set up your word press site

A full-blown Ad Agency which includes Copywriting, direct marketing, consumer marketing, response marketing, blog casting, WordPress development, capture page development, etc.

Markethive is becoming a Media Company. 

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

 

_{The image above is an example of how it will work}

 

How Does The Hive Rank Contribute?

The Hive Rank is responsible for bonuses, bounties, and increases in revenue. This means you will get increased earnings from the faucet. If you’re an entrepreneur upgrade you get an increase on your matching bonus. It will also be responsible for Royal Bee Of The Day which gives you additional rewards for the day. The Hive Rank also plays a big part in the interest you earn in the Vault. The higher your Hive Rank the more interest paid to you. 

The Driving Force Of The Vault. 

The vault is where the Markethive Advertising Credits will be held. Advertising credits are similar to a stable coin. One Markethive Credit = USD$1. Instead of paying $100 per month for the Entrepreneur Upgrade Program, you will pay 100 Markethive Ad Credits. These credits can be purchased through the Vault via Bitcoin or credit card. In fact, you can pay for anything through the vault such as the Banner Program, SNAP installation, Press Releases, and Sponsored Articles and more as these services are implemented and introduced into the Markethive system.

Also, you can deposit Markethive Coins, (MHV) into the vault and you will earn up to 5% compound interest in MHV, roll it back into the vault and accumulate. This vault credit can be used to buy ILPs or an Entrepreneur Upgrade. By putting it back into the system, Markethive is giving you more value on your Markethive coin and paying you interest on it, similar to Staking. 

What Is Staking? 

Staking simply stands for holding a cryptocurrency in your wallet for a fixed period, in this case, the Markethive Vault,  then earning interest on it. Staking the coins you hold is a relatively easy way to earn more coins. The reward that one earns from staking varies depending on the length of the time and Hive Ranking. So it would be advantageous for you to keep it above the threshold along with an increasing Hive Rank enabling you to earn the maximum amount of interest. The Vault will notify you if you go below the threshold. 

So now there are 3 types of currency in Markethive. The Markethive Coin, (MHV) the ILP Tokens, and the Markethive Ad Credits which are always equivalent to $1usd of which you buy products and services with. So the Credits are what buys the services once we are on an exchange and the wallet is launched. And the amount of MHV coin you have determines the interest paid. 

By buying up Markethive Coin and banking it in the Vault you are essentially burning the coin and is a good thing as explained in this article on how Markethive creates coin velocity. There are many ways to burn crypto coins which is advantageous to the wealth and health of the coin. In this instance, to burn the Markethive Coin means pulling the coin out of the marketplace and staking or holding it in the Vault, so there’s less supply. The less supply the greater the demand, which in turn increases the price of the coin. 

The Vault is designed and implemented prior to the wallet being added. When the Wallet is complete and launched, then the true value of the Markethive coin will be realized. Once the wallet is active, Markethive Ad Credits and MHV Coins can be purchased and transferred over into the Vault. So this is like an online banking system. It’s a savings account with interest paid on it. 

It also changes the way you pay for subscriptions. The monthly subscription is debited from the Threshold in the Vault. Your credit card is debited and deposited into your Vault threshold to whatever amount you choose to maintain your chosen threshold and the payments debited. This also eliminates the issues caused by direct credit card payments and banks blocking your transaction. 

 

Where Are We At Right Now? 

The major aspects of the Vault have now been installed onto the Markethive platform. The Vault icon can be seen on the header of your Markethive page, next to the Hive Rank Symbol. Clicking on it will take you to the Vault page. This is the very foundation of the Markethive Wallet, the ILP, in fact, the entire system. We are very close now to launching the very heart of our ecosystem. 

Keep in mind the more you use the vault the higher the interest rate. The more you use the system the higher the interest rate. The four facets that are scored for stake interest are Hive Rank, Coin Clip score, Loyalty Level, and Attendance Bonus. Also, total interest is paid on both your vault balance and coin clip balance and the interest on this combined total is paid at the end of each month. 

 

The Vault Services

The Payment Center is being replaced with a far more advanced, effective and rewarding system called The Vault. This makes your purchases and monthly subscriptions easier to manage and is also creating a new class of exchange called Markethive Ad Credits. It will reward your thriftiness and using it as a bank account will earn you discounts and monthly interest. Interest has already been paid for this month and you will see extra MHV in your coin clip noted as Interest Credit in your payment settings. 

The Vault Statement is like a bank statement where all Vault activity is recorded, such as purchases, thresholds, funding, interest, bounties, autopay, etc. This can be viewed in your Markethive account in The Vault section and exported, saved and printed for your records. 

The Vault Multiplier is now active and where the fun starts. Play the HI/LO game and increase the amount of MHVs in your coin clip – up to 1000x. There is a 0% house edge which means neither Markethive or yourself has any built-in mathematical advantage over the long term. All rolls are provably fair so there is no way of altering the outcome. 

 

The Vault Subscriptions give you total control to maintain all your loyalty programs monthly or yearly subscriptions. You can create new ones, update credit cards, pay with Bitcoin, pause or cancel and much more.

The Vault Schematic is where we dissect, illustrate and edify the many aspects of the Vault Gauge Icon (seen up in your page header). So you know the health of your account at a glance.

Feed The Vault – This is where you can purchase Markethive Ad Credits and store them in your vault to pay for any of your monthly or yearly loyalty programs, press releases, banner ads or any other advertising program available to Markethive members. Remember the more you use the Vault, the higher the percentage of interest paid to you. 

As stated above, the fundamentals of the Vault can now be viewed on the Markethive platform, however, there is still some tweaking being done and of course, our engineers are now working on getting the wallet in place ready for all systems go! 

Your Future With Markethive

The future is bright for Markethive and You. This is an ingenious way to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Markethive Ecosystem while the MHV Coin inevitably increases in value, securing your success and prosperity within the realms of Markethive and beyond. Stay tuned for all the updates as they come to hand. Please attend our weekly live meetings hosted by the CEO, Thomas Prendergast, and CTO, Douglas Yates for all the exciting news and information. The date, time and link to the Markethive Zoom Room can be found in the menu at the top of your markethive home page under Calendar. See you there!

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.

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 (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.

Conclusion

Markethive’s growth and ever-improving Alexa Ranking, community involvement, the fact Markethive is a Social Network with continued interaction and engagement on the platform, becoming more prevalent each day moving forward.

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.

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.

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!”

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.

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.

Social Network Setup And Registration PAYS YOU!

The Major Advantages

By now I think all of us who work online have numerous social media accounts. As Markethive is a complete market network incorporating inbound marketing with SaaS tools, eCommerce, digital media, and a collaborative social media platform, you could say it is the granddaddy of them all. Markethive is making it possible for you to utilize all your accounts across the social media platforms where it will literally pay you to register all your separate accounts through the Markethive platform and by subscribing and following the many Markethive social media accounts will qualify you for the Infinity Bounty Program. (Currently in development)

 

The Infinity Bounty Program

The “Infinity Bounty” program is designed to enhance most of our future and current Bounty, Faucet and Airdrop programs. Markethive’s flagship Coin Bounty is our “Infinity Bounty” which requires social registration and social following with at least 9 of your social media accounts and following 12 of Markethive’s social accounts. This Bounty affects all of our future bounties. 

Markethive has the technology to recognize when you’ve connected and following their accounts and will then reward you with MHV coin, increasing your micropayments by 10%. Also, a 10% discount on the Entrepreneur Loyalty Program upgrade, as well as receive gifts, being invited to contests, Ad Co-op and Proof of Concept campaigns for all qualified Bounty members. 

The CEO and Founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast, explains the steps in this blog “The One Bounty To Rule Them All”.

 

 

The Markethive Community is exploding and at the heart is a collaborative and supportive ethos. The Market is exploding as the whole world is becoming entrepreneurs so there’s a huge demand for Markethive products. Markethive owns the technology and has spent the last 20 years building it. 

Built on its own blockchain with a cryptocurrency that is a consumer coin and not dependent upon the speculative value as is the case of other cryptocurrencies and platforms. This creates an eternal economic velocity in the entrepreneur ecosystem within Markethive making it easy for Markethive to reward the members via Bounty Programs, Micropayment Faucets, contests, and gamification.

Markethive, The Complete Social Market Network is becoming known for its generous Infinity Airdrops and continuous micropayments faucet system that is now active within the Markethive platform, where all members are paid for utilizing the system including learning what Markethive has to offer via the Getting Started page and don’t forget we at Markethive “Tip” Instead of “Like”. It stands to reason if they tip you they like you. This is creating universal income for all entrepreneurs who are active.

As Thomas Prendergast states,

“It is evolution, inspiration, prayer, faith, and application. Each step we take in creating is opening more doors. It takes courage to open these doors and walk through them. This is how this service came about. And it is going to make Markethive a force for the people.”

 

Pete Ade, a veteran Markethiver says, 

“If such a thing existed since the dawn of making money online, I think we will not have the current failure or drop out rates. This is a true blessing. How I wish I had such a system as a newbie online? Well, better have it now than never. Being in Markethive is being in the right place at the right time. All we all need is to take the right actions. I am following the instructions and taking the right actions, what about you?”

 

Increase Your Reach With Blogcasting

Registering your social accounts in Markethive opens up many more benefits and has the potential to increase your reach into the millions. As Markethive grows so do your followers and subscribers. Every time you publish a blog, that article is posted out to literally hundreds even thousands of social network news feeds and WordPress sites. 

The Blog cloud has the ability to create massive reach, SEO and backlinks at an exponential rate utilizing Markethive and WordPress to all Social Media and blogging platforms. This is a reach that goes beyond technology.  Markethive has developed a technology for the blog platform which has facilitated a combination of cultural and viral shifts. 

For example, If I subscribe to your blog and I have 20,000 followers across all my social media accounts, and you have 15,000 subscribers each with a similar following, your blogs have now been potentially seen by around 300,000,000 people which by enlarge are not directly subscribed to you. This is called a “reach” and extremely powerful. 

Markethive with their proprietary Blogcasting system has certainly made it exponentially more powerful.  They have certainly added fun, collaboration, reach, groups and storefronts, understanding, and power to the process. 

To understand more about the advantages of the Markethive Blogging system and social network integration go to this blog, “Markethive Blogging Platform – What Make It Outstanding?”.

Moving forward, the amount of followers/subscribers Markethive has in all of its social networks increases the viability of being a paid Press Release and sponsored articles platform as Markethive is now a media broadcasting system or news site. This is additional revenue and will be shared within the system in the vernacular of the Bounty Program, making it that much more lucrative just for being part of Markethive and using the platform to promote your business. 

 

And We’re Just Getting Started! 

Although this amazing system is up and running, for the most part, Markethive is still in Beta and continues to gain momentum and has now broken a new record with a Global Alexa Ranking currently at 9,993 and consistently improving every day.  This puts Markethive in the top 1% of digital news sites, in fact, any other similar network marketing site.

This is going to change the way we've worked online for the last 2 decades. This incorporates attraction, content, email, video and social media marketing and much more all on one platform on the Blockchain. Now that working online is being recognized as an occupation, this is a complete system that will work for anyone no matter what industry you are in. 

 

Regardless of what your drive is, Markethive will add to your agenda, broaden your reach, build your sphere of influence further and greater than anything before has even attempted to do. By registering your social networks and subscribing to and following Markethive’s accounts will qualify you for the upcoming Infinity Bounty Program where opportunities and increased earning potential are a given. 

 

Be part of the next generation in Social and Marketing Platforms called a Market Network. Markethive, built on the Blockchain offers a totally unique system and is the poster child of doing it right.

John McAfee’s Guide To Help You Get To Your Destination

I personally find John McAfee a fascinating, genuine and humorous character who enjoys life and truly believes at this time in his life, his god-given mission is to do anything it takes to “wake people up”, as he puts it, to the tyranny of governments and miracles of technology – Blockchain and Cryptocurrency which will free the people from the shackles of centralized institutions. I came across a blog written by John McAfee with his attempt to guide you through the checkpoints of Central America. He posted it in 2012 and tweeted it today in the hope it may help anyone traveling to join the protestors in South America. He certainly is a character and I had to have a little chuckle to myself as I read through the following…

  

The McAfee Central America Travel Guide

As all of my close friends know, I have not always been a teetotalling, drug-fighting citizen.  Prior to 1983, I was a synthesis of a corporate manager and drug dealer.  The drug dealer eventually won out, and for a period of time, that was my only occupation.  Well ….. taking the drugs that I sold also became a principal occupation.  This is not a secret, I tell anyone who asks, even the press.   Not many in the press reported much about it until Josh Davis’ eBook came out.  I am not ashamed of my past.  Our collective pasts make us who we are.  In 1983 I joined Alcoholics Anonymous and gave up alcohol and drugs entirely.  My exceptions are coffee, which some classify as a drug, and, occasionally, cigarettes.  Not proud of the cigarettes, I know they are bad.

During my drug-dealing days I became adept at those talents required of a successful drug dealer: clandestine travel through the Third World countries that produce and transport the goods; dealing with corrupt officials; dealing with drug lords and drug traffickers; successfully passing checkpoints; bribery, and in emergencies, the methods of escape.

I am a firm believer that all experience can be a valid teacher if a person listens to experience with unclogged ears.  Since it is a Saturday and I’ve had a tiring week, I will take a break from the task at hand and use what little I have learned to assist travelers that might appreciate the rewards of traveling off the beaten path in third world countries. It should also assist anyone engaging in questionable activities.  If a person does not directly harm another, then I try not to judge.  You might call this McAfee’s Travel Guide:

In order to make the most of your travels, you need to first understand that, throughout much of the Third World, there is a smoothly functioning “system” in place that has evolved over centuries. From the First World perspective, it is a “corrupt” system, and indeed, at the higher levels there is no other word for it, and this blog’s purpose is to remove the brutality and horror of such high-level corruption.  

At the lower levels, however, the system contains an element of grace and humanity, and this lower lever is all that most people will ever encounter.  You might still call this lower level “corruption”, but that’s not a helpful word if you want to acquire the most effective attitude for dancing with it. I prefer “negotiable”. It focuses the mind on the true task at hand when dealing with officialdom and removes any unpleasant subconscious connotations. So if you can view the following tools and tips as negotiation guidelines it will help bring the necessary smile to your face when the situation requires one.

Press Credentials

The most powerful tool a traveler can possess is a Press card. It will allow you to completely bypass the “documentation” process if you have limited time or limited funds and don’t want to deal with it. I have dozens stashed in all my vehicles, in my wallet, in my pockets, in my boats.  You might ask since I claim to be an upstanding citizen, why I would need such deception.  It is because I am one of the few white men who chose to live part-time in the interior of the country.  I was one of only three white guys living in the district of Orange Walk, for example. I have cars and enjoy driving and I travel frequently.  Not a day went by without having to go through a “checkpoint” of some kind.

 

I am paranoid about being caught without one when I need one. They have magical properties if the correct incantations are spoken while producing them. A sample incantation at a police checkpoint (this will work in any Central American country):

(Spoken before the officer has a chance to say anything) – “Hi, I’m really glad to see you.” (produce the press card at this point). I’m doing a story on Police corruption in (fill in country name) and I would love to get a statement from an honest police officer for the story. It’s for a newspaper in the U.S. Would you be willing to go on record for the piece?” You can add or subtract magic words according to the situation. 

Don’t worry about having to actually interview the officer. No sane police person would talk to a reporter about perceived corruption while at the task of being perceived to be corrupt. He will politely decline and quickly wave you through. If you do find the rare idiot officer who wants to talk, ask a few pointed questions about his superiors and it will quickly awaken his sensibilities. He will send you on your way.

The press card is powerful but has risks and limitations. Do not attempt this magic, for example, at a Federale checkpoint in Mexico on a desolate road late at night. You will merely create additional, and unpleasant work for the person assigned to dig the hole where they intend to place you.
 

Documentation

Documentation is the polite word for “cash”.

 

The real art of producing documentation is the subtle play of how much to produce. In some countries, a policeman makes less than a dollar an hour. At a checkpoint, a policeman will usually share his proceeds with the other officers lounging by the side of the road and with the police Chief. The Chief will get about 25% in countries like Colombia and Panama, so if there are three officers total, then a ten-dollar contribution will end up with about $2.50 in each person’s pocket – a good take for someone making about a dollar an hour in legitimate salary.

Nothing irks locals more than someone who produces documentation in excess of what is expected. It ruins the system for the rest of the population. The Police begin to expect more from everyone, and the populace is then burdened beyond any sense of reasonableness. I might mention that checkpoints for any given location in most countries are set up no more than once a week, and frequent travelers reach accommodations with the authorities so that they are not unnecessarily burdened to the point that they are single-handedly putting the policeman’s children through school. The police are, by and large, honest people with hearts, and few truly abuse the system.

So to give more than is reasonable is a crime against humanity. The following are some hard and fast formulas that I have learned from trial and error over the years:

Documentation is inversely proportional to traffic density – the higher the traffic, the less you pay, the lower the traffic the more you pay. This is simple economics: The police must make their personal quota from whatever traffic there is.

If you stop at a checkpoint and there are four or five cars in line, you can be assured that less than a couple of dollars will be expected from a Gringo. Smart folks carry a half dozen cold cokes and beers in a cooler in the backseat and simply reach around, grab one or the other and hand it out the window with a smile. In the late afternoon on a hot day, this will be received with far more appreciation than a few small coins. If you hand a cold drink to all of the officers, you could easily talk them into giving you a protective escort to the next town.

In low traffic areas, in addition to having to pay more, you will also entail more risk. It’s never good to travel lonely roads in Central America unless you are very experienced or closely wired into the authorities. However, if you’ve come down to do a dope score or are determined to visit sweet Crucita in some remote village and have no other choice, then strictly adhere to the following:

Do not get out of the car, even if ordered to do so. Your car is your only avenue of escape. It’s a ton or more of steel capable of doing serious harm to anyone foolish enough to stand in front of it, and once underway is difficult to stop. The checkpoint police in Central America never chase anyone down, in spite of years of watching U.S. Television and action movies. It’s too much work, plus they could have an accident. It’s not worth it for an unknown quantity. And they won’t shoot unless you’ve run over one of them while driving off. It makes noise and wastes a Round that they must account for when they return to the station – creating potential problems with the higher-ups. Not that I recommend running. It’s just that outside of the car you have lost the only advantage you have.

Smile and, if possible, joke. Say something like: “I’d like to stay and chat but I’m in a hurry to meet a girl. Her husband will be back soon.” This will go a long way toward creating a shared communion with the officers and will elicit a shared-experience type of sympathy.
Don’t wait for them to talk. Take the initiative. Have your documentation ready as you pull up and simply present it to the nice policeman while beginning your patter similar to the above, or whatever patter is comfortable for you. Never hand cash directly. Slip it in inside your insurance papers, or some other paperwork relating to your car or your journey, with about an inch of the banknote discretely sticking out. I use a Cannon Ixus 530 setup manual with the front and back cover removed. It’s small, light, and looks like it could be important paperwork for almost anything.

Remember: 50% of the police who stop you in some countries can’t read. This is a powerful piece of information for the wise.

Once the officer has removed the banknote, which will be immediate, reach out and retrieve your laptop manual (or whatever you choose to use), smile, wave and drive off immediately without asking permission, but slowly, without looking back. Doing the job and leaving quickly without appearing to hurry off is the key here. Don’t give them enough time to assess you.
The above is a failsafe formula for back roads of Central America if adhered to explicitly. Expect to part with at least 20 bucks. If, on approaching the checkpoint, you judge the police body language to be insolent or agitated, change the twenty for a fifty.

If something goes awry and the above, for some reason, has not worked, then pretend stupidity. Ask them to repeat everything they say and act bewildered. If ordered to get out of the car, smile broadly and simply drive off. Again – slowly.

If drugs or other contraband are planted in your vehicle by one of the police while another has your attention (a very common occurrence), understand, above all, that there is a zero probability that you will be arrested, unless you add to the “offense” by pissing someone off or otherwise acting unwisely. The intent is to scare. Under no circumstances deny that it is yours. Say something like “Damn, I thought I left that at home”, or “That’s the second time I’ve been caught this week.” This will show them that you are a good-natured player and will probably negotiate. Denying ownership of the contraband will be seen as confrontational – an attitude that brings high risk when dealing with Third World authorities. The “documentation”, however, need not be much. 

They have chosen an approach to make a living that is universally considered by the locals as “not fair play”, and they should not be unjustly rewarded for it. Sure, they did go to the effort of distracting you, and someone had to go to the trouble to plant the dope, so they deserve something, but $5 is the maximum you need to pay. If they ask for more, then you can safely become indignant. They will shut up. The locals won’t tolerate police that takes too much unfair advantage of the system, and your obvious awareness of the correct protocols will alert them to potential trouble if they push things.

If you actually are carrying contraband, of any kind – drugs, guns, Taiwanese sex slaves – whatever, and are caught, then the actions that you take within the first few seconds of discovery will have a profound impact on the rest of your life. The reality is: You have been caught. The officers have options:

1. Arrest you and charge you, where you are likely to confess to other people about exactly what you were carrying and how much – thereby limiting the policemen’s ability to make off with much of the cache. Or:

2. Come to some arrangement with you that is mutually beneficial and that does not include your demise or create any undue risks to the officers’ jobs or safety.
Option 2 is obviously preferable. To anyone not fond of prisons, that is.

Your first order of business is to assess your situation. If you are in a town or even near one with reasonable traffic driving by, then the chances of your demise, or incurring harm to yourself, are virtually nil if you keep your wits about you. If you are on a lonely country road, and there is only one officer, or even two, your risks could be high, so you will be handicapped in your negotiations.

On your side, you have the option to go to jail and tell your story to lots of people, which generally restricts the officers’ abilities to make money on the encounter. The higher-ups will take it. On their side, they have guns and threats. Ignore the threats. You are fully cognizant of the fact that their sincere hope is that some accommodation can be reached that enriches their pockets and allows you to leave the area without compromising them.

So — first things first. Smile. There is no circumstance under which a smile will handicap you when dealing with authorities.

Be friendly in your speech and immediately and fully acknowledge your situation, and theirs. This puts them at ease and sets the framework for negotiation. Be polite but firm. Let them know that they will not be able to walk off with your entire stash, and do this early on. It creates more reasonable expectations in their minds. If your contraband is drugs, offer them a small hit while talking. It re-enforces, subconsciously, the idea that the dope is your possession and that they are partaking due entirely to your goodwill. If you are transporting sex slaves, then I must say first that I cannot possibly condone your chosen occupation, but offering each one of the policemen a taste of the goods may well seal the deal without any additional cash thrown in.

It’s important to be firm without any semblance of hostility. If the policemen tell you, for example, that they are going to confiscate all of the goods, then, with an apologetic manner that implies an unfortunate certainty, say “I’m sorry, but that won’t be possible”. Shake your head sadly as if you had divulged: “My mom just died”. And this is the point to present them with an absurdly low offer. If you are carrying 20 keys of cocaine or a half-ton of marijuana, then offer them $50. Alternatively, you could offer them a one-ounce bag of the weed or a gram or so of the coke. If it’s sex slaves, tell them they can look at the bare breasts of one of the least attractive women (in parts of Southern Mexico, this might actually be sufficient).

They will be taken aback at your offer, but it will place any unreasonable expectations they may have in a stark perspective. As a rule of thumb, if you are near a populated place, you will ultimately settle by parting with an amount of cash equal to about 10% of the wholesale value of the goods. On a road with infrequent and unpredictable traffic, maybe 20%. If you are on a desolate road, especially if the body language is not comforting, you may have to bite the bullet, give them the entire wad, plus your car, and ask for a ride to the bus station. Don’t expect the police to accept the drugs or contraband as payment if you are near a populated area. They would obviously be seen transferring the goods to their vehicles. If you are not carrying sufficient cash, then you are unprepared, and shouldn’t be doing shady deals in Central America.

Never display fear or hostility. Smile throughout, and crack what jokes you can.

Name Dropping

Knowing the name of the country’s Police Commissioner and Armed Forces Chief, and the Chief of Police for each county or town you will be driving through can be very helpful. Knowing all the mayor’s names will not hurt any either. Name-dropping is a powerful tool in the Third World, especially for gringos, if used appropriately. Telling a cop in America that you are friends with the mayor or the police chief will seldom help you avoid a traffic ticket, and may even increase the charges. 

In Belize, offending the Police Commissioner will immediately get a policeman fired, with no repercussions to the Commissioner, and, depending on the offense, may even get the officer “erased”. So it gives an officer serious pause when you say: “The drugs belong to Commissioner (insert name). I am delivering them to a friend for him”. 

If spoken with authority and condescension, they can have a dramatic effect. No policeman in his right mind would try to validate the story. Resident Gringos, for odd reasons, are prized as friends by wealthy and prominent locals, so it would not be out of the question to be close with the Country’s Police Commissioner. If the cop asks any specifics, like, how you know the Commissioner, pull out your cell phone and say: “I have the commissioner’s number, why don’t we call him and you can ask him yourself.” You need to have solid self-assurance, or at least some large cojones, to pull this off, but in a tough situation, this can work miracles.

A small amount of research is necessary before using this approach. You need to know, for example, whether the police commissioner is really dealing drugs (almost all are). Every local inhabitant in the country will know this information (there are no secrets in the Third World). The policeman will certainly know.

You don’t have to be doing something illegal in order to use the name-dropping approach. When a friend of mine first moved to Belize, two policemen stopped him late in the evening while he was driving a golf cart across the bridge to San Pedro’s North Island. Before he could provide the proper “documentation” for a bridge checkpoint, one officer harshly demanded his drivers’ license, which he provided and then shut up. The officer’s attitude was not in harmony with a normal checkpoint situation. While he stared at my friend’s license, the other dropped a bag of weed on the back floor of the cart. (he didn’t smoke weed by the way.) When the first officer “discovered” the bag my friend said: “I hope you won’t tell the Commissioner about this. He’s a very close friend of mine and I wouldn’t want him to think anything bad about me.” The first officer divulged that they were only joking by planting the weed. He apologized and waved my friend through.

Generally, the tactic of planting drugs on people is only practiced in heavily trafficked tourist areas. The police in tourist areas are handicapped because tourists generally don’t “pay their due” to the police, or to any other functionary. Tourists consider it “corrupt” to have to pay policemen to do their jobs or to pay them in order to have the freedom to drive down the street on checkpoint day. The police, therefore, are forced to resort to unethical means in order to make a living in these places. I understand this well, yet some character flaw in myself won’t allow me to reward someone who plants drugs on me. My friend feels the same.

Gifts

Gifts occupy different strata in the system of negotiation. They are used when some future consideration is required, or after an official favor has been provided. Gifts can be small or large, depending on the circumstances and the wise person will have an ample supply ready for any event. I operate seven small businesses in Belize.  When I first opened them I refused to acquiesce to my business manager’s advice about gifts. I naively assumed I could skate by without them.  I was wrong, I finally allowed the guy to stock up on resources so that he could do the job I was paying him to do:

Now… to be fair to the authorities ….. I have no way of knowing whether these “gifts” were actually given to the authorities.  For all I know the business manager that I hired started his own retail outlet somewhere and is still living off of the proceeds. It’s difficult under certain circumstances to get at the facts.

Favors, likewise, are part of the system. They have no negative connotation, and they require gifts whose magnitude reflects the magnitude of the favor.

One common “favor” that is considered questionable is to gift an officer in the armed forces to provide armed support for a drug deal, a revenge raid, an armored car heist, or any similar function. It’s a very common occurrence but it’s deemed to be morally sketchy by most of the populace. The reason for this, I believe, is the sense of unease created by the image of highly organized, insolent, largely illiterate men with fully automatic weapons catering to the whims of anyone with spare change. 

The general consensus is that the system of “negotiation” should stop at the gates of the military. The military should uphold the system, not practice it, as my friend and philosopher Paz once said. This is no more illogical than policemen as “officers of the peace”. The fact that SWAT teams exist and every policeman carries a gun and is trained in violent tactics, should alert us to the fact that practicing peace is not the means of choice for maintaining peace.

CMS and CRM – FREE and UNLIMITED –  only at MARKETHIVE

CMS (Content Management System) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) provides two separate objectives in the business software realm. A small business needs both a CRM and CMS and Markethive has them both built-in to make it easier for you. The next generation Inbound Marketing Social/Market Network built on the Blockchain with everything needed to succeed under one umbrella.  

 

What Is A CMS? [Content Management System]

You’ll need a CMS from the outset to build your website/capture page, create content on your blogging platform and get your business up and running. (Think WordPress or Markethive) Even if you're not in business, but want an online presence to showcase a product, start a blog or promote your services, you will need a CMS. 

Key features of Markethive CMS include:

• Custom domain names: When you join Markethive you receive (for free) a CPanel control panel and WordPress system built into your assigned domain, a subdomain of hivesfeed.com

• Web hosting: Store your website and all of its data either in the CMS or by integrating with a popular web hosting platform.

• Site editor: Change the layout of your site, either using code or a drag-and-drop editor.

• Content Library: Store content for publication including images and videos. 

• Online-store: Set up a catalog of products and integrate a payment portal so users can shop online via your website.

• Manages the creation and modification of digital content and typically supports multiple users in a collaborative environment. 

• Markethive provides capabilities for multiple users to manage content, data and/or information of a website project, or campaign but gives you 100% control of your data. 

Markethive assists you in managing content creation, editing, archiving, publishing, collaborating on, reporting, distributing website content, data, and information.

 

What Is CRM? [Customer Relationship Management] 

CRM is quite different. CRM solutions organize and manage information about leads and customers, and so it is a very important tool. Businesses, sales and marketing teams can utilize this tool to keep track of their leads and make sure they’re communicating with their customers at the most opportune times.

You will need a CRM when you start to accumulate leads and build up your client base. (Think Salesforce or Markethive)  

Key features of a Markethive CRM include:

• Contact management: Markethive acquires high-quality connections (leads) we call “associates”. In doing so, you have access to call them on their verified cell phone, email them on their verified email, message them through the Markethive system and the multiple social networks our system nurtures each subscriber to add to their account. 

• Groups System: There is also the groups' system that shares your customized funnel systems with all Markethive members. Markethive is rich in data, but unlike the other systems, your data is yours and their data is theirs.  Only You control it, not Markethive.

•  Interaction tracking: Document every interaction that you’ve had with your customer, including phone calls, support requests, and purchase history.

• Lead management: Allows you to sort to specific folders, sort by Social network, GEO, email, phone, capture page. Transfer from one group to another and delete. Markethive also has funnel page systems that capture leads for you through the Markethive One Click Widget

• Email management: It has utilized the OAuth technology to capture data via capture widgets through a choice of Social Media Sites situated on your capture pages, blogs and profile pages. You can send email campaigns or follow up directly from your CRM.  Email Deliverability: Main Inbox  99.97% Spam 0.0% Tabs 0.0%  Missing 0.03%  

Free when you subscribe to Markethive. There are no limitations on the amount or size of your list of subscribers and no upcharges. 100 addresses or 1 million addresses, you will experience nearly 100% delivery for no costs, for free.

 

Leads Funnel Technology

Markethive funnel technology is the epitome of Inbound Marketing, or Automated Marketing designed to draw visitors and potential customers in, generating massive leads and customers. Your system includes capture pages, survey pages, and your profile page all serving to bring traffic into your platform turning traffic into visitors, then leads, then customers and eventually promoters on your team.  Organic, qualified leads for your business on a platform where you can cultivate those leads into long term clients. A system that meets marketers needs on every level.

Markethive’s capture pages are twofold. Create capture pages to build referrals into Markethive, direct them to a specific group, set up specific autoresponders. Choose from a vast selection of thumbnail templates, or build a more sophisticated capture page with custom configurations for the more seasoned marketer. Either way, similar systems sell for over $200 per month and are complex and less effective than Markethive’s one-click proprietary enrolment widgets. All of this included for free to the moon Markethive.

 

Markethive On Blockchain With MHV Consumer Coin 

Markethive is a Social Media Market Platform that is essentially a hybrid between the social networks, Inbound Marketing, eBay and exchanges. What makes Markethive different to other alternatives is it's built on the Blockchain providing transparency; anyone can look at how we function and see that we are not spying on you. It also means everything you do is encrypted and private. The platform is completely decentralized, encrypted, private and secure. All of our code is open source, meaning privacy, transparency and free speech is foundational.

The Consumer coin, MHV, is being utilized within the Markethive exchange by way of airdrops, the faucet system, which rewards associates using the platform,  bounties, and loyalty rewards and the upcoming vault. So the coin is used within the commerce of the system thus creating the velocity. The Revenue is a vehicle that is used to buy the Markethive coin back in the free market so it can be redistributed into the economic vortex of the system. This is a fundamental difference to the other systems currently out there today.

The Markethive system has been developed to produce revenue in the traditional sense with the added benefits of the blockchain taking it to the next level. Markethive is a philanthropic endeavor. To give, not take. To help not exploit.

 

 

Conclusion 

This is the next generation of all things from the past. This is where it's at. Combining all forms of media and marketing built on the blockchain is the new era of online business. No more standalone platforms with the need to integrate with 3rd parties to create optimum leads and results. Markethive, 20 years in the making has had the forward-thinking and tenacity to integrate the latest technology to deliver a complete ecosystem for anybody aspiring to work online.
