Etihad Airways to Pilot Winding Tree Blockchain

United Arab Emirate’s national airline has teamed up with a Switzerland-based blockchain

startup to provide its internal information systems. Winding Tree, a decentralized business-to-business marketplace built on ethereum, will provide logistical support for Etihad Airways’ distribution system, according to a Reuters report on Thursday. The move will allow the airline to bypass third-party operators that currently manage its inventories – such as flight times, travel itineraries, and baggage tracking. Tristan Thomas, Etihad’s director of digital and innovation, told Reuters these third parties often provide an overpriced service. Pedro Anderson, Winding Tree’s chief operating officer, redoubled that claim and

told Reuters:

“We have been doing experiments and new solutions on the platform. Ultimately, that benefits the consumer. When there’s innovation, you start to have disruption, you have competition which results in better prices for the consumer.”

“Very few have chosen to disrupt the distribution world and that’s because those are major players with very significant margins that have acted to keep that kind of a closed shop,” said Thomas In fact, Winding Tree provides real-time information systems for a number of airlines, hotels, and tourism offices around the world. In 2017, the firm partnered with Lufthansa to develop a blockchain-based travel marketplace powered by a cryptographic token. Months later, Russian airline S7 revealed it was using the distributed ledger to issue air tickets. AirFrance also combined its APIs to oversee its airline management systems. With its wide birth and ability to manage a vast array of data, Winding Tree counts not only global distribution systems run by entrenched firms like Amadeus and Sabre, but also consumer facing websites like Expedia and Booking.com as competitors.

Ethereum Price Prediction and Analysis ETH Continues Correcting Growth

Ethereum Price Prediction and Analysis – ETH Continues Correcting Growth

Bitcoin keeps growing robustly, its dominance reaching 68.4%,

which is a two-year maximum. At the same time, the Ethereum is attempting a bullish trend. The general growth of digital assets in case the leading cryptocurrency manages to renew local maximums looks highly probable. The British financial regulator Financial Conduct Authority has declared that it is not going to regulate the BTC and ETH, as well as other cryptocurrencies. In the document signed the cryptocurrencies are regarded as exchange instruments. Such coins are decentralized and in most cases used exactly as exchange means. The FCA has specified that such digital assets are out of their jurisdiction.

However, earlier the British regulator planned to ban selling such contracts as futures for the BTC to retail investor, which could put serious pressure on the cryptocurrency market in general. Some time earlier, a computer game developer Blockade Games, which is trying to realize the Bitcoin Lightning Network as the interface for the Ethereum contracts, declared that the future of digital money belongs to the BTC. The second cryptocurrency ETH is going t be used for less functional projects, such as games on the basis of blockchain.

The company representatives also noted that a lot of users of different games prefer keeping their money in the Bitcoin. Anyway, such situations when the developers use to networks for project creation will give mid-term support to the Ethereum as well. On H4, the Ethereum keeps forming an ascending channel, moderate but stable. This trend is the correction of the previous decline. The quotations are currently aiming at 38.2% ($239.45), upon reaching which the market may rise to 50.0% ($254.30) Fibo. As the main support, the current minimum of $190.41 should be regarded. A breakaway of this level may signal a continuation of the mid-term descending trend.

On H1, the previously stable ascending channel has been broken through at the resistance line. This signifies the growth of volatility at the moment, which promises an upcoming correction and growth in a longer perspective. Speaking about the correcting decline, the first goal may be at the support level of the previous channel around $224.50. Upon completion of the correction a new impulse of growth may be aimed not just at 38.2% ($239.45) Fibo, but even as high as $245.00.

North Korea Stealing Cryptocurrency Funding 2 Billion Weapons Programs

North Korea Stealing Cryptocurrency, Funding $2 Billion Weapons Programs

North Korea is generating billions of dollars in support of the illegal weapons programs

and ballistic missile launches according to a confidential report from the United Nations. Experts providing the report suggest North Korea is using cyberspace, launching sophisticated attacks as a way to generate more funds. Though the report is troublesome, it’s not completely surprising. Cryptocurrency offers criminals an opportunity to skirt government regulations across the globe, steering clear of all the red tape that governs central banks. The .U.N.’s report goes on to say that many of the cyber criminals operating on behalf of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are doing so under the guidance of the Reconnaissance General Bureau, the country’s top military intelligence agency. At the present moment, illegal activities and 17 different countries are under investigation. Authorities at the .U.N. believe as many as 35 attacks on financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges and mining pools involve individuals representing DPRK.

The Tension Is Rising

North Korea has a long history of violating the human rights of its citizens and drawing the ire of the international community because of it. President Kim Jong-Un is still threatening the United States of America, continuing to put his country’s military capabilities on display with four separate missile tests already launching this summer. The country’s acts of aggression are in direct response to the fact that the .U.S. is currently going through joint military exercises with South Korea. All of this is happening despite the fact that .U.S. President Donald Trump is meeting consistently with Jong-Un. The two have already met three times to discuss halting North Korea’s weapons program. In June, Trump became the first .U.S. President to ever step on North Korean soil, setting foot in the nation’s demilitarized zone.

Still, the .U.N.’s report on North Korea’s multi-billion dollar money laundering tactics was published before the country’s most recent missile launches. It’s now quite clear that Jung-Un is intent on putting more pressure on the United States and United Nations. He is demanding more flexibility in negotiations and threatening a more intense military response as the alternative. The .U.N. Security Council is already banning exports to North Korea as a way to choke out the funding of weapons programs. Trading of coal, iron, lead, textiles, seafood and crude oil are all either banned or severely restricted. In response, the North Korean government continues to transfer weapons-related materials and other luxury goods using ships.

What Does It All Mean For Bitcoin?

As the stakes continue to climb higher and more and more politicians and world leaders are recognizing Bitcoin as an unstoppable force, cryptocurrency hacks will continue to fund black market activities and ill-intent dictators. The question is, what will political unrest do to the price of Bitcoin both now and in the future? On one hand, Bitcoin is currently trending up as alt coins lose steam. The price is flirting with the $12,000 mark. Some investors believe it’s going to be a safety net throughout this crisis. Even .U.S. Senators are going bullish. On the other hand, since Bitcoin is funding weapons programs. Perhaps the general public decides violence and a slowing market is reason enough to pull money out of Bitcoin. Time will tell. For now, the world waits on edge as tensions between the .U.S. and North Korea are heating up.

Giddy Up Or Get Left Behind – Opportunity Is A’ Knockin’

Governments all over the world are not keeping up with the technological revolution. They need to adapt quickly to a changing world and change their attitude towards cryptocurrency and the companies working with it or miss the mark. Many governments and the anti-crypto media associate cryptocurrency with nefarious activity, however, what they fail to acknowledge is that criminal enterprise has been rife with fiat currency for eons.

Tim Draper, billionaire venture capitalist, and avid Bitcoin aficionado had this to say,

“It is akin to the Luddites. They are in fact saying, ‘we will not tolerate progress.’ It will set them back 40 years. Imagine if they did this with the internet?”

He also noted, “The criminals will still want to operate with cash because they catch everybody who is trying to use Bitcoin.”

Blockchain and Crypto go hand in hand so given that Blockchain is an immutable, distributed, decentralized ledger criminal actions can be detected easily so cash gives the fraudsters a chance to stay unnoticed.

Ironically we are seeing that governments are supporting the new Blockchain technology but still very anti-cryptocurrency? That seems very confusing and verging on neo-luddism. They either don’t fully comprehend what they are dealing with or they are running scared. Could this mean they will lose control and authoritarian power over society? Especially in the case of fiat currency. Since 1971, fiat is not backed by the gold standard making it highly inflationary and totally worthless. So it basically has no intrinsic value. It has been established by government regulation and the people then, believe it to be valuable, not because it has any inherent value.

Cryptocurrency and Blockchain simply mean we will not be a slave to the current economic failings of bureaucracy. It’s essentially giving citizens, including the unbanked a real chance at some form of wealth, freedom and overall better quality of life. So Crypto can also be a valuable contribution to the people en masse. As more adoption takes place in this decentralized environment, the more power lies in the hands of the majority rendering governments inept.

Restricting Crypto Is Inhibiting Our Younger Generations

The approach some governments are displaying by restricting new technologies is a desperate measure and will not work in the long term. Banning will not work. How can you ban cryptocurrency but approve of blockchain? The problem lies in the fact that many in government seem to lack a clear understanding of this technology, this futuristic economy, and also the needs and wishes of society. To me, it seems to be very self-serving on the part of the politicians protecting themselves and their interests. People have become more aware and are tired of politics and a lack of transparency. Governments that take this stance are restricting their growth and will end up losing their power.

Statistics show that the younger generations would rather invest in cryptocurrencies than traditional stocks and up to 70% would invest if it were made easier by mainstream, which means there is a perpetuating interest in new technologies and the future currencies.

Foster An Entrepreneurial Culture Or Get Left Behind

The good news is some countries have embraced cryptocurrency-based technology such as the San Marino Republic and in the course of Venezuela’s hyperinflation, the government has turned to crypto as a solution to the economic crisis. Malta is another country to embrace the new technology. Cryptocurrency exchanges along with many other companies have relocated to the new economy friendly Mediterranean island nation.

The way economies around the world perform is altering dynamically, as the respective power switches from established, centralized forces towards those that support and respond to the unparalleled empowerment of individuals. If governments are to overcome the challenges they face and maximize the benefits of this change for their communities, they need to get their bureaucratic head out of the sand. Otherwise, the transformational forces of what is taking place will leave them and their citizens behind.

Other Cryptocurrencies Rise Up

Ten years ago there was only Bitcoin and although it is still the flagship cryptocurrency, many more have been created since then. There are literally thousands now and many will not amount to anything. However, a select few will rise up and be a true peer to peer currency with the concept of Ethereum and smart contracts, a way has opened up for the utility or consumer coins and platforms and with that an endless amount of opportunities for all types of use cases.

You’ll find some in the supply chain industry, where leading Blockchain startups like VeChain has quickly gained fame. More pertinent to online marketers and small business owners with an online presence is the Market Network replacing old school Social Media and Marketing and is exploding on a global scale.

Aligned with Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency is some major players such as Ethereum, Lite Coin, Markethive Coin to name a few. These coins have secured their place in the cryptocurrency world as they have a concept, products, and services underpinning them. This is needed for sustainability and velocity. Also by aligning themselves facilitates the ease of liquidity through either their own and 3rd party exchanges.

Opportunity Knocks

If you’re looking for an opportunity to increase your brand awareness and presence online in an autonomous, collaborative environment with privacy and freedom of speech, away from the centralized environment of web 2.0, and into the newly defined complete reinvention of the web being Web 3.0. then Markethive is the answer.

Leading US Crypto Exchange Heads to Bermuda Amidst Regulatory Uncertainty

Poloniex plans to shift the majority of its crypto trading operations offshore,

according to parent company Circle. The move comes amidst regulatory uncertainty and pressure in the US, which lacks a clear legal framework or guidance for cryptocurrency-related businesses or crypto investors. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire says that 70% of Poloniex users are not based in the US, prompting the move to another jurisdiction. Allaire says Poloniex has already secured its Digital Assets Business Act license to operate in Bermuda, reports Coindesk.

Says Allaire,

“The lack of regulatory frameworks significantly limits what can be offered to individuals and businesses in the US.”

In May, the Delaware-based exchange stopped offering nine coins for its customers in the US due to regulatory uncertainty: Ardor (ARDR), Bytecoin (BCN), Decred (DCR), GameCredits (GAME), Gas (GAS), Lisk (LSK), Nxt (NXT), Omni Layer (OMNI) and Augur (REP). The CEO also confirmed that the company’s recent downsizing, eliminating roughly 30 employees, was partly due to the lack of clarity from US lawmakers. The company’s current focus is global and getting beyond the US bottleneck. “It took a long time working with the Bermuda government and the Bermuda Monetary Authority.” “The project to establish a new international operations hub for our market, exchange and wallet services, was a major project.”

The move will also allow Poloniex to explore being able to offer financial services, adding that users could expect to see more “yield-generating crypto accounts.” Poloniex ranks in the top 100 crypto exchanges in the world with a 24-hour trading volume of roughly $16 million, according to data compiled by CoinMarketCap. It is also listed among Messari’s Real 10 Volume index reflecting legitimate trading volumes from leading industry players. In the wake of last week’s two congressional hearings on Facebook’s upcoming digital asset Libra, crypto insiders are assessing the highly critical response from US lawmakers who are determined to halt the project in its tracks. The hearings sparked an intense debate about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and new corporate digital assets that are all vying for a place in the digital economy.

Politicians have not yet figured out a way to deal with emerging blockchain technology and the many products and services currently in development to bring more financial inclusion for people all around the world. The threat of digital assets lowering costs, rivaling existing infrastructure and challenging the traditional banking and monetary systems has prompted many prominent politicians, including Maxine Waters and Brad Sherman, to demand a moratorium on Libra.

Visa is Entering The Crypto Space invests Heavily in Custodial Services

Visa is Entering The Crypto Space, invests Heavily in Custodial Services

As the crypto revolution has moved forward,

the major credit card companies have maintained a curiously low-key approach to its evolution. Now, Visa appears ready to enter the space, having recently made significant investments in blockchain startups, and revealing plans to offer financial services that utilize the technology. These moves are a clear sign that the world’s largest payment network has accepted the fact that cryptocurrencies are now a permanent element of the global financial landscape. Visa has not entirely ignored the evolution of cryptocurrencies. It has followed their development closely, and has filed for a number of blockchain-related patents. However, it is no secret that it, along with other payment processors, do not support their use. Most notably, purchasing cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, with Visa cards is restricted in much of the world, and classified as “high risk” where permitted. Also, the company has been reluctant to work with exchanges and wallets to create crypto-linked debit cards, although in a few instances such cards have been issued.

Now, Visa may be changing its position. It has just announced a $40 million investment in Anchorage, a blockchain startup specializing in crypto custody. Anchorage intends to create custody solutions that go beyond mere cold storage, but also give clients greater flexibility in how their funds are managed. Perhaps Visa intends to play a role in this process. Earlier this year Visa also announced the launch of B2B Connect, a blockchain-based international payment service. Similar to Ripple’s xRapid or IBM’s Stellar-based Blockchain World Wire, B2B Connect will facilitate cross border fiat transfers, focusing on business clients. Rather than use a public blockchain, Visa’s service will utilize Hyperledger Fabric. Visa is known to be collaborating with IBM on the platform, which is curious given Big Blue’s own foray into this sector.

The extent to which Visa can succeed with these new ventures is subject to debate. Critics have long asserted that custody solutions are an unnecessary and costly service that offer little extra security to the task of storing cryptocurrency. Also, the long-term viability of fiat transfer services has long-been questioned by crypto purists, as mass adoption may render fiat obsolete. Nevertheless, Visa brings a level of unquestioned experience and trust to these emerging business applications that could make all the difference in the eyes of a skeptical public. There is thus the very real fact that Visa’s entry into the crypto space is adding a degree of legitimacy to the reputation of blockchain assets. Regardless of whether or not it succeeds with its current plans, Visa’s move is one more indication that traditional financial institutions are taking distributed ledger technology seriously.

Most notably, Visa executives clearly understand the threat cryptocurrency poses to their core business model of facilitating electronic debit and credit card payments. Soon crypto options will be available on virtually every point-of-sale terminal on the globe. Merchants will encourage their use to avoid paying Visa’s costly transaction fees. Although Visa has yet to create a clear response to this challenge, perhaps these new offerings indicate that the company understands that it must find new revenue sources if it expects to survive long-term.

Writing well – What is the secret?

What is the secret to writing well?

I think it is really one word, practice, practice, practice.

You can have a vast vocabulary. You can have near perfect command of your prose, perfect grammar, and syntax, but if you don't write often, you will not develop into a good writer.

That is one reason why blogging is such a great activity.

Content creation for a blog is simple. You can write about whatever you like. You can be serious, ironic, whimsical, humorous, or anything that suits your mood or personality. As long as you write and are true to yourself, there is someone out there who will take interest. Having stated this, there are a few things you should pay close attention to when you write that will save you either headaches or embarrasment.

1) Write sincerely. Do not pretend to be someone you are not. It is amzaing how quickly a phony writer can be spotted.

2) Use a grammar checker. I prefer Grammarly. It checks not only grammar but other writing faux pas as well, such as overuse of commas, (my personal weakness), syntax, spelling, wordiness, style, punctuation, and even plagiarism.

3) Remember most writing mistakes are due to carelessness, so don't be offended by grammar checkers, they are there to help you express yourself more effectively and keep you from looking foolish due to careless mistakes.

4) Take a break from writing and come back later to review what you have written. It is surprising how a fresh look can make a big difference in how you write. Remember there are many ways to express the same thought. You are just looking for the most effective way to accomplish this.

5) Don't try to impress with big words. Use vocabulary that you understand well that falls within your comfort zone. (Notice I did not say vocabulary you are comfortable with. – so I did not end the sentence with a proposition).

6) Use synonyms. Try not to repeat the same word twice. Google is always available to help you with this.

7) If you are writing professionally, or for clients, you may want to hire a writing coach to review your work. This can be a great learning experience. I recommend editors at https://www.editorr.com/ The price is not the cheapest out there, but the quality of their editorial work is outstanding. If you want to hire a writer, I recommend https://www.textbroker.com/

Remember that anyone can write, but it takes a great deal of practice and some effort to write well.

Best of success in all your endeavors.

Blockchain and Data Privacy – An New Era Of Sovereignty

The internet has been with us and evolving for over two decades now. Over that time we have seen major developments, new ways to market, shop, and communicate with the world at large. Social Media has hit its peak and taken over our daily lives in many cases and never before have people had so much information about their personal lives online. There has always been an element of trust with these tech giants when using their platforms and perhaps 10 years ago we felt safe albeit naively entrusting our personal information and data but today it’s a very different story.

Data privacy has become a real issue and despite some efforts and assurances from companies we surrender our data to, breaches of privacy are happening and in some cases the order of business. Nefarious internet hacking breaking through companies security systems is one example. The other more blatant issue is negligence or literally selling our data to third parties for the purpose of online marketing and profit. We, our data and personal information is a lucrative commodity and there are very real situations and scenarios where it can be used against us. The misuse of our data is all too prevalent and the sharing of personal data is irresponsible as in the case of the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. scandal. That leaves us extremely vulnerable and people worldwide have their privacy violated in very personal ways.

The bottom line is corporations seek to make a profit. Facebook generates the majority of its revenue from advertising so the data of its users is imperative to their end goal. Greater profit for the shareholders and the users get zilch as well as being thrown under the bus. There must be a better way.

Being online in one way or another has become a way of life so the need for privacy is greater than ever. Fact is, corporations cannot be trusted so the better alternative we have on our doorstep is one of decentralization and transparency. This gives the power back to the users.

The Blockchain Era Is Here

Blockchain Technology is a versatile and very efficient solution for personal data security. Being decentralized and transparent it allows users to fully control their data and how it’s transferred and used. It gives them the power to choose who sees their information and how much of it can be accessed. It also gives the user control over the monetization of their data. It eliminates your personal data being sold without your knowledge. In this era of Big Data, Blockchain will restore our personal privacy.

There are some companies now built on the blockchain that is offering a personal data ecosystem, where users can share and sell their data as they see fit. IBM is developing a Trusted Identity Solution. The Tide Foundation has developed a decentralized system for safe storage, sharing and trading of personal data by giving users control over encrypted personal data. The Secure Key service uses Blockchain to store your passport data. These are just a few that are utilizing decentralized technology for the betterment of society.

But What About Social Media?

There have been attempts by some startups to introduce a social media-type platform. They are typically blogging platforms on a mission to give people a voice or freedom of speech with some sort of remuneration for their efforts. However, in the recent past, there have been some instances where censorship was an issue resulting in the termination of some accounts. And then there are others not on Blockchain but purporting freedom of speech and privacy albeit in a centralized environment. That’s all well and good, but we are again needing to apportion an element of trust where they are concerned.

And Then There Is Markethive

CEO and Founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast had the vision and is very aware of the destructive nature of the tech giants and what it has become. Markethive has made use of the new technology, blockchain, and cryptocurrency. However, it is a lot more than just a Social Media platform. Markethive has been around as an Inbound Marketing Platform for over 20 years, with the last 4 years in beta constructing and implementing a plethora of vertical hubs and portals all under one umbrella. This is called a Market Network as first recognized in 2015 by TechCrunch

Markethive is the complete ecosystem for Entrepreneurs and is fundamentally a Social Network and an automated Inbound Marketing platform. This premier hybrid social network includes news feeds, blogging platforms, video channels, chat channels, groups, image sharing, link hubs, resume, profile page and peer to peer commerce. But more than a typical social media, Markethive has also delivered “Inbound Marketing tools” like broadcasting, capture pages, lead funnels, autoresponders, self-replicating group tools, traffic analytics, CMS and more.

Markethive has also included additional platforms for Commerce and a Digital Media site, offering Press releases and Sponsored Articles to its members. So it’s a social network, an Inbound Marketing platform and a comprehensive commerce platform for conducting business, one being a for-hire service called BeeLancers and the other for modern-day transactions called Markethive.Exchange, plus a news media site. The commerce portals and news site products and services are currently in development and will be launching soon.

Thomas Prendergast recently announced,

“I am confident to report that I believe the MHV coin and our blockchain platform is leading edge. We are the new Market Network that replaces the old school Social Networks. All of them, not just the Facebook traditional ones, but the newer ones that claim to be on blockchain but only deliver a social network with marginal tools like found at Minds, Steemit, etc. We have the distinct advantage of being way ahead of the herd on this one. With that said, when Bitcoin hits $100,000, MHV coin will stabilize on or about $5 to $20 per coin."

Blockchain and cryptocurrency is the future and Markethive has got it right on all counts as a true blockchain foundation sharing the wealth of this complete ecosystem. The difference is MHV will not just be an internal commodity like some platforms purporting to be on the Blockchain. And for the others? It's way too late to even consider integrating the blockchain. Just watch Markethive evolve.

Focus And Mission

Markethive’s focus is upon providing a user-friendly and rewarding solution to the individual by integrating them into a social network of like-minded people which nurtures a true collaborative business community.

Their mission and objectives are to pioneer “Universal Income” worldwide for all individuals (skilled or unskilled) where they receive monetary rewards, providing an avenue to create business success and goal achievement.

Markethive is a decentralized, autonomous, fluid environment which includes manifestations of intellectual achievements, social habits, innovation, music, literature, technology, commerce, and the arts. A central “hub” on a decentralized foundation using blockchain technology, is designed to encourage “reciprocal interchange” of ideas, knowledge or skills as well as providing for exchange, sales or purchases of goods, services, and commodities. It is already being predicted that Markethive will soon be the gold standard to which others will compare.

Conclusion

Blockchain Technology is essential to bring true privacy compliance to the internet. This is not only more convenient, but it is also a necessity and an excellent solution to what we are seeing now of mass data violations. So now it’s not just about protecting or monetizing the data that only you control. It’s about delivering a platform where users can have the privacy, autonomy, and freedom to be themselves socially along with an entrepreneurial environment where the possibilities are endless and real success is achievable on every level.

This futuristic model is a meritocracy and is here now and fully prepared for the future, truly representing a prime example of the next generation which is the Market Network. Markethive is a decentralized platform. Banning, shadow banning and termination of accounts is a thing of the past. No longer will you lose your livelihood and branding because of some autocratic centralized agenda-driven monopoly.

We are entering into an era of Sovereignty and Markethive has the road map and is the blueprint of where things are headed.

Inbound Marketing Is Content Marketing – Now On Blockchain At Markethive

Useful content should be at the core of your marketing. Content is the core of Inbound Marketing

Gone are the days where content means the blog posts your company writes. Instead, content marketing now includes a diverse set of content types and multiple channels to push them through. Chances are that if you’re already using social media, then you are doing content marketing to some extent.

Content marketing is accelerating at a blistering pace. By the year 2020, roughly 1.7 MB of new content will be created every second… for every living person on earth.

It’s easy to hear statistics like that and feel a sense of overwhelm – to feel like there’s no way to make your brand stand out from the crowd. But there is and I am going to show you how with this article.

What is content marketing?

To begin with, content marketing is taking any type of content (digital or physical) and purposefully sending it out to your audience.

Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.

Instead of pitching your products or services, you are providing truly relevant and useful content to your prospects and customers to help them solve their issues.

Content marketing is used by leading brands. Research shows the vast majority of marketers are using content marketing. In fact, it is used by many prominent organizations in the world, including P&G, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, and John Deere. It’s also developed and executed by small businesses and one-person shops around the globe. Why? Because it works.

Content marketing aka “Inbound Marketing” is good for your bottom line — and your customers

Here are some key reasons and benefits for entrepreneurs and companies that use content marketing:

More awareness
Increased sales
Cost savings
Better, more loyal customers
Greater branding and online presence

Content is the present – and future – of inbound marketing

Go back and read the content marketing definition one more time, but this time remove the “relevant” and “valuable”. That’s the difference between content marketing and the other informational garbage you get from companies trying to sell you “stuff.”

Companies send us information all the time – it’s just that most of the time it’s not very relevant or valuable (can you say spam?). That’s what makes content marketing so intriguing in today’s environment of thousands of marketing messages per person per day.

Marketing is impossible without great content

Regardless of what type of marketing tactics you use, inbound marketing “content” should be part of your process, not something separate. Quality content is part of all forms of marketing:

Social media marketing: Content marketing strategy comes before your social media strategy.
SEO: Search engines reward businesses that publish quality, consistent content.
PR: Successful PR strategies address issues readers care about, not their business.
PPC: For PPC to work, you need great content behind it.
Inbound marketing: Content is key to driving inbound traffic and leads.
Content strategy: Content strategy is part of most content marketing strategies.

What if your customers look forward to receiving your marketing? What if when they received it, via print, email, website, they spent 15, 30, 45 minutes with it? What if they anticipated it and shared it with their peers?

How easy is it to make friends here in Markethive?

Fact or fiction, most members in Markethive do not post to the newsfeed? I think we can agree that most members join Markethive and aside from loading a picture and adding brief information to their profile page, may rarely if ever post to the Newsfeed.

What does this mean for the Marekthive members who are active? It means when an announcement appears in the Newsfeed, it may be your one unique chance to request a friend from that person, and you may not get another chance.

Of course, you get paid a small amount of Markethive coin for each friend that you invite. You need to login to Markethive every day in order to make friends on a regular basis. This activity alone will probably keep you at least as a DO BEE. If you add commenting on a regular basis, you my easily achive the level of WORKER BEE. If you write posts on a regular basis, you may achieve the BUSINESS BEE level. Depending on the frequency of all of these activities you may actually propel yourself into the ROYAL BEE catagory where there will likely be some substantial rewards.

I know well the value of the size of any social network. With effort over a 3 year period, I have managed to accumulate over 13,000 1st level connections on LinkedIn. Most of the members I have brought to Markethive have come from my LinkedIn connections. These new members in Markethive has brought me several hundred thousand Markethive coins. Remember, every new member you bring into Markethive rewards you with 500 Markethive coins as an entrepreneur.

I am not very active on LinkedIn anymore. My activities have taken me in another direction, but I am still gaining 1st level connections on a daily basis due to the size of my LinkedIn netowork alone. I state the number of connections I have on my profile title, and many people want to connect to me for that reason. My LinkedIn network is expanding now on it's own. I only have to accept connection requests with a click of the mouse on a weekly basis which only takes minutes.

LinkedIn limits the size of your network to 30,000 1st level connections, so I am less than halfway to maxing out my number of connections on LinkedIn.

Facebook limits you to 5,000 friends. I am close to that limit now.

Twitter limits your followers depending on number of people who follow you. There is a certain ratio there. I do not know exactly what that ratio is.

Instagram will not allow any account to follow more than 7500 users. Once you reach that limit, you will not be able to follow anyone else.

Tumblr will not let you follow more than 5,000 blogs. After that you will have to delete a blog if you want to follow another.

Most social networks impose restrictions on the number of people you can connect with. I do not understand this at all.

How about Markethive? There are no system restrictions to the number of friends or associates you can have. That fact alone should be enough to make you want to participate here in Markethive

This is one more example of how Markethive is the social network for entrepreneurs.

I hope this fact inspires you to be active here on Markethive. Remember, in addition, Markethive is the only social network that pays you for every one of your efforts on the network. In time, these small accumulated efforts alone will be worth a small fortune.

Best of success to you in all your endeavors!
