MarketHive may be the next Big Thing in Social Networking for Entrepreneurs!

MarketHive may very well be the next generation of Social Network to change the way business is done on the Internet.  Every few years now on the Internet, there are companies that develop new innovative ways of marketing and communication.

It is likely that MarketHive will be that kind of disruptive company that breaks the rules or status quo. on the Internet. MarketHive may become the social network of the year in 2015.

You may ask why I would say that.  If we look merely from the viewpoint of authors, (who are really entrepreneurs in today's digital publishing marketplace), MarketHive seems to have hit a sweet spot.

Did you know that Amazon's catalogue, or inventory of ebooks went from two million titles at the beginning of 2014 to over 3 million titles at the beginning of 2015. This is simply a phenomenal increaese of historical proportions!  It is no wonder that individual authors in most cases, have seen falling revenues for their ebooks. It is a simple case of supply and demand.

So what does MarketHive have to do with authors?  In order to get a publishing contract these days, or to be successful as a self-publisher, you need to have a following of readers. If you are trying to sell your books on Facebook, unless you are a very knowledgeable and experienced marketer, you are unlikely to have great success.  If you have a big marketing budget, you might be able to buy an audience on Facebook, but there are substantial risks as well.  On MarketHive you will have a much, much easier time to find readers and gain a following.

Supposing Facebook gave you a link and said that anyone who joins Facebook from this link will automatically become your Facebook friend, instead of requiring someone to track you down on Facebook, ask to become a friend, etc,

Would that be something valuable?  You can bet on it!  Or if you could set up a group and automatically have your new friends become members of that group.  Would that also be desirable? Of course it would be. Or if you could have a free autoresponder to communicate with your friends and group members.  What would that be worth!

This is just the beginning of what MarketHive offers for entrepreneurs. Membership in MarketHive is completely free, but right now you can join by invitation only.  I expect sometime in March it will be open to the general public.

You can learn more about MarketHive at Goldfinch Digital Marketing my main blog.

There is also a growing amount of information available on the Internet now, including on YouTube.    You can also visit the MarketHive Blog. Good Luck in all your endeavors and God Bless!
