What’s up in Whoville, what’s the news today..?
There is this big story some of it you know, so much to tell, how should it go..?
Telling this big story… we thought long and hard, how to use things that you already know… to put on a big show.Remember, it’s Christmas you know…
So we thought a lot about what you need to know, then we decided first to go with some old things that you know, adding some new things… that you just have to know..!
What follows this cute little scroll, comes from a Christmas long, long ago.

Buckle your seat belts, on a journey we’ll go…
YES, YES, I know, you may actually think, this is a silly way to go…
But as you will soon see… this is really not, about you or me..!
It is really much bigger, there’s a whole world to set free…
and let me just add… that this story will wrap all things up, in a blanket so warm, so comfy, so no one gets cold.
A blanket made not, with some Silver and Gold, but with something better…
Let us say, that concepts from an older day… often they did “Pay it Forward”, and so will we…
From this point forward, we have a big mission… global we go, just so that you know.
Because as you will soon see, the only way for Whos like you and me, is to…
~ “Be the Change You Want to See”
which brings us to the changes you came to see…!!
This will be a ride to remember, you’ll see…
Like most good Christmas stories, there is a big bad goof, known to you and me as the grouchy Grinch… to the right as you see.
He is the one who would steal Christmas he thinks… and as you know, he would take all of these things… from each Who, even all the good Whos, we know.
But, it’s Christmas as you know…
and the Grinch simply must not win, so let the stories begin..!!
Thinking and Planning, the Time is Now Here…
As we can see Mr. Grinch has been quite busy… planning and working bringing such tears and fears to so many Whos in Whoville… some so close we can see.
His job well done in recent years…Indeed, it is so hard to choose his best work;
- Was it the homes foreclosed in twenty oh eight;
- The lean economy followed by bankruptcies, so many meeting such fate;
- Or maybe the 79,000 spies in so many great Whoville industries;
- Perhaps it was the henchmen in the Grinch’s old basement, hacking and breaking many Whoville companies and all the Whoville government;
- Or was it compromised machines voting the next Great and powerful “King of Sleepy old Whoville”?
Regardless, the Grinch, started working his magic quite early and has been working and working all this whole year, ordering the closing of each business all around… drowning the merchants of the once-great… Whoville
Business by business, month by month until the one thing running, the almighty and Great Grinch Machine, so carelessly devouring all Whos in its path, set to deliver “necessary things”, all shiny and bright, with nothing made right, and that’s just not right..!!The Grinch, smirks and thinks…
“broken toys are so naughty, its’ so very nice”
While, every once happy and nice not-necessary merchants in Whoville, dare not work, hug, or sing, they must ask no questions and complain they must not, today they simply do not disobey.
Giving Mr. Grinch everything he might say each bright new day.
The Whos are quite worried, and restless they are…
It has been a bad year, after many so far…Who families in masks, scraping at pennies, with not so many gifts for any.
Whos stay at home, and always indoors, you know how it goes, fearing a bit of more news. Whos no longer happy, with kids staying home, so no time alone.
It’s likely true, so many Whos are set to lose…
At this moment, Whos each one…
they can feel that the brew is not done, but it’s not a good stew, not even for a Who.
While it’s a sad day in Whoville, but changes all-new… are coming quite soon.
The Whoville Daily Reporter
BREAKING NEWS
Because the following news contains the Good, the Bad, AND the Ugly, it is NOT suitable for children, and not a fun part of this Christmas story… Just saying, before you open Pandora’s box, this is what the news is like today in Whoville, too little Good, too much that is not.
The Bipartisan Whoville news reports not one, but both sides of the news so that you can decide for yourself.
We find it incomprehensible that the governments of the world, worse the United States government would shut down so many businesses this year, placing most small businesses on the critical list, while “they” continue to collect a paycheck..?
For the record:
“We do seriously object, and take our stand against this action in any form”.

Not all Whos are Alike…
There some Whos, they call Crazy Who, not like any other Whos in Whoville, quite different indeed.
So one brave little Who working through the night to fight, she shares one idea, and the Whos they do like.Another protesting Who works feverishly for years, deep his secret workshop, over the years, he toils day and night to re-write… a sad Christmas eve… planning to turn New Year quite bright.
You may even know, or you might have a hint…
YES, the reclusive Who in this story is just me.
Really quite different, stopping for nothing, this Who climbs 10,000 steps…on a quest, changing the Whos pieces of ‘coal’ into Whos’ hopes and dreams come quite true.
Like a fine Gold… from deep within his great workshop… comes the “Mighty, and Magical Marketplace”, always playing nice music, making the Whos sing, again and again. Now officially calling for the New Year to begin.
Soothing a beast-like Grinch, our marketplace music will bring in… a grand New Year, with little to fear, hope, and good cheer.
Soon each Who, in the great town of Who, will know for true, that all Grinches…
…can in fact be beaten..!!
Really a simple 1-2, and 3, will make us all Free…
1. a Cosmic Event; next…
My plan is so simple and so sweet, but it took a lot more than a whole week.
Tweaking and thinking, and tweaking again, and again. this solution is infectious and will go viral… sharing, again and again, great blessings coming with each grin.The benefits are so very clear, and the time is so near.
With many Whos talking and singing decades they have, to proclaim the dawning of a new age;
The Age of Aquarius
While on the surface, 2021 definitely does not feel like just another turn of the calendar page… and with good reason. A completely new era is on the horizon. After 400 years, now in just hours, the “Age of Aquarius” comes into full glory..!
In a monumental cosmic event, on December 21, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will each align into the great “House of Aquarius” for the first time in nearly 400 years.
This historic event is referred to by NASA as the “Christmas Star“.
Yep, this star will be visible — be sure to look southwest about 30 minutes after sunset. This is the first time since 1623 that he biggest planet in the solar system and the ringed planet will be this close
This foretold event, “known as a great conjunction” heralds in the “Official Age of Aquarius”.
2. a Brand New Year; and then…
Aquarius is the sign of innovation, technology, and revolution. Aquarian energy tends to put the light on logical thought, innovative growth, and collective well-being.
More specifically a spotlight on humanitarian issues, because Aquarius is of course the chief sign of humanitarians.With the dawning of this great age of Aquarius, we have seen rapidly growing in number, most incredible “Moonshots”, one after another, building month and year, after another with great speed.
Let’s take a sneaky little peek…
2002 – The First Personal Digital Assistant, “SIRI” by Google;
2004 – Facebook, 2.6 billion active users per month (connecting 1/3 of the planet);
2005 – Youtube, The rise of personal video broadcasting, streamed Free;
2007 – The first touchscreen smartphone, iPhone;
2010 – A.I. Wins Jeopardy, IBM Watson;
2017 – The First Self-Driving Car (No Safety Driver), Waymo;
** Moreover, globally, knowledge is expected to increase 300%+ over the next 5 years.

Why sell your products via a Marketplace?
While the answer involves several topics, let’s start by stipulating the major differences between using any “Internet Marketplace” vs. “your own website and store”.
First, the “Internet Landscape” has changed, it’s not just for kids and games anymore. The Internet got serious (commercialized) and if you want to play on the world wide web, you must play by the “laws and rules” of the game, or face consequences including bankruptcy and jail time.
The Legal Questions
You must pick a form of business, common options include proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation. Each of these has legal concerns and obligations, and a variety of tax matter to sort.
Now about the website, in 2020 you must start with the question;
“Are you ready to defend your website against an “Alphabet Soup” of legal attacks ranging from, blind seniors, to children and cripples, infringement claims, and a plethora of claims from citizens of foreign nations you never sold a dam thing to?
Seriously, this is where we are, and it is only going to get worse. More laws, rules, and regulations, with the recent Covid-19 issues now even more health-related focus for example.
The Money Questions
Starting a company is RARELY FREE. From your legal form as noted above to local business licensing, banking, merchant processing service, etc. If you’re doing online-only business, you can often escape zoning and licensing, but sales tax, income tax, etc. will still need to be strategized.
Of course, putting a website on the Internet is also NOT FREE. There are a great number of costs that must be considered.
Website Basics:
- Domain Name
- Website Hosting
- Website Security
- Website Legal “Alphabet Soup”
- Website Structure and SEO
Once you manage these, the number of products you enter will be a time investment but is comparable to a marketplace.
The Marketing questions
Depending on your strategy; “own website and store” (OWS) or using an “Internet Marketplace” (IM), you will need to address the following marketing-related concerns:
- Customer Service
- Customer Support
- Product Delivery
- Social Strategy
- Website Marketing (OWS)
The Age of Aquarius and Mahalo.Market
Our principle founder (Ambassador Rodgers) is the quintessential Aquarian. Calling for independence, peace, prosperity, love for humanity, common fellowship, social idealism, and a purging of the toxic energies hiding truth and transparency from us all.
The Mahalo.Market answers this call, with the first online marketplace to offer 100% transparency in the business between shop owners and buyers. Encouraging each to directly interact and pursue mutually beneficial transactions.
Our marketplace only manages transactions, merchants receive funds paid instantly, without delay to their Stripe merchant account.This model is in complete contrast to the a-typical online marketplace where merchants can be “banned” for direct communications with buyers.
In our model, merchants build their own customer base, while also sharing that customer base with other participating merchants. Much like a conventional (physical) mall in your local market.
Merchants also manage their own financial affairs, for example taking payment and managing returns directly.
Unlike other marketplaces, the Mahalo.Market also “does” direct promotion on behalf of each merchant, with press releases, video, and social promotions.
We also Guarantee Buyer Traffic to Merchant Listings.
Mahalo,Market also provides Merchants with many valuable marketing tools;
- Free accounting;
- Free project management;
- Free social management tools;
…and much more, to save merchants thousands in software costs.
This is the direct result of a vision, that has taken half a lifetime to bring to fruition. A vision based on sharing and caring, and moreover the idea that… “Pay it Forward” can drive a business model to success.
Foremost, Mahalo.Market is designed to “Pay it Forward”.
- Starting with a FREE SHOP. Ensuring anyone can be successful from the start.
- Add our “Startup Merchant Program” from “newbie” to a successful merchant in 90-to-120 days.
NO COST, of course, it’s totally FREE..!
We take Advertising quite serious
JingleSPOT and the TNT posting strategy predate the Mahalo.Market.
This is how we market, by using a trifecta of; Experience + Strategy + Technology.

An Introduction to the Backstage Area
Mahalo.Market – our Marketplaces…
International Marketplace + White Label Marketplace
International Auctions + International Auctions White Label
Health and Diet Marketplace + Global Gift Marketplace
Micro Jobs marketplace + Freelance Marketplace
Global Education Marketplace + Global Automotive Marketplace
The special configuration of our marketplaces makes the magic happen. Unlike most marketplaces, Mahalo.Market is configured as a collection of marketplaces. We maintain separate marketplaces for specific niche offerings, and likewise specialized marketplaces for the disabled.
For this document, we will discuss only the WordPress networks, the others will be separately discussed as each will require special documentation due to the fact that each was programmed by a different development team.
This includes the following marketplaces, scheduled for release June 2021:
- Freelance Marketplace;
- Global Automotive Marketplace;
- Global Education Marketplace;
- Micro Jobs Marketplace
Our WordPress Based Marketplace Structure
The following explains the configuration of our WordPress marketplaces, though we maintain many non-WordPress networks, dozens of SaaS Services, and other networks not discussed here.
This applies to the following marketplace networks:
- International Marketplace – Primary
- White Label Marketplace – Disabled
. - Global Gift Marketplace
- Health and Diet Marketplace
- International Auctions
- International Auctions White Label
This is how we layer the configuration of the above WordPress Networks;
- WordPress Multisite Network – One WordPress that allows millions of sites;
- WooCommerce Multisite – WordPress Network, Many Shops;
- WooCommerce Global Cart – Many Shops, one shopping cart;
- WooCommerce Multistore – Merchant Multi-Shop Management Interface.
- Import/Export to External Markets Management (Amazon, eBay, Easy, etc.)
This combination allows users to run parallel multisite WordPress Networks while allowing vendors to manage multiple shops from a single “Parent” shop, whether they be on networks or external like eBay or Amazon. Our Merchants have seamless control.
Shopping and Checkout Process – (Our Networks only)
- The cart is maintained globally across all shops on the “WP Multisite”;
- A customer can shop across all stores;
- Any cart content is carried over, even if the shop is changed;
- On the checkout page, the address information will be auto-filled as usual;
- Any coupons, shipping rates, shipping classes, etc., are inherited;
- Checkout occurs at each shop where the products originate from;
- Orders are paid via Stripe on the account of the merchant (MOR);
The resulting sale is PAID directly to the Merchant regardless of where the sale occurred in any of our networks. (eBay and Amazon sales pay as usual).
Refunds
In any case, the sale is charged to the Merchants Stripe account, and they become the MOR (Merchant of Record) important for legal and tax stance.
This also means the customer deals with the merchant for refunds, problems, etc.
We only step in if a problem takes more than 3 days to solve.
Engagement is the Name of the Game
Gamification is the use of “Game-design Elements” and “Game Principles” in non-game contexts. Put another way, a set of activities and processes used to solve problems by applying the characteristics of game elements.
Gamification has been used to Educate, Entertain, and Engage for thousands of years. Some classic game elements are; Points, Badges, and Leaderboards.
Top 7 examples of Gamification; (see the video)
- Headspace, KFC, Under Armour, M&Ms, Starbucks, Nike, Duolingo.
All 7 examples illustrate how gamification can transform loyalty programs, exercise, learning, & marketing into something much greater.

Quick Introductions to Gamification
The following videos do a good job of explaining how gamification works in context with websites.
Examples of our Built-in Gamification
We have a large number of Gamification options built into our system. Following are a few examples.
First, Scratch-2-Win
Create Irresistible “VIDEO SCRATCH CARDS” that Explode Opt-in Rates and Send Hot Leads to Any Business in Seconds
Revolutionary Gamification ‘Scratch-Off’ Technology that’s
Proven to Triple Opt-in and Sales Rates
Welcome to a brand new world of lead generation
Gamification is the key to getting website visitors more relaxed and more likely to engage with our opt-in form and brand in general.
See, ordinary squeeze pages and popups have been shown so many people have developed ‘banner-blindness’ to them and the gift they get in exchange for their information becomes devalued.
HOWEVER, when a visitor is confronted with a chance to win something ie: like when playing the lottery, the perceived value of the prize goes up tremendously.
Combine that with eye-catching graphics and video and now you have something that will really get visitors’ attention and get them to interact with your brand!
Therefore, the formula for online marketing success today is simple…
Create a Scratch Off Card from DFY Templates or From Scratch
Pick from lots of DFY scratch card templates in the hottest niches or create your own game from scratch. Use the drag/drop editor to add text, colors, images, layers, coins, and more to make the game come alive and something a visitor will really want to interact with.
Our Reward Points Gamification is a Complete Loyalty Reward Points System.
We can Reward Shoppers using Reward Points for;
- Product Purchase;
- Sign up, Referrals;
- Social Promotion (FB, Twitter, etc.)
- Writing Reviews;
…and so much more see the list below.
The earned Reward Points can be redeemed for future purchases. The system offers the flexibility to offer reward points at Product Level, Category Level, and Global Level.
Reward Points supports simple, simple subscription, variable and variable subscription products. It supports Fixed Reward Points for Product purchase or Reward by Percentage of the Product Price.
Reward Point Conversion Settings available for Earning Reward Points and Redeeming Reward Points. Also, Maximum Redeeming Points in Cart can be set in the Settings Page.

More About Funding Sources
Advertising
Advertising on marketplace pages will allow merchants to capture buyers and bring them to their listings.
Affiliates
A great deal of our marketing strategy depends on “Affiliate Marketing”.
- We will use this formula to promote sales to third-party vendors;
- We will use affiliate marketers to promote specific products and they earn fees (i.e.; Amazon, etc.);
- We can pay affiliates to sell; shops, advertising, etc.
Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is alive and well since its inception. There are now three (3) distinct formulas:
-
- Donation Levels + Prizes;
- Donation Levels for Shops;
Investment for Stock Simplified(SEC – Forbidden for now)
Grants and Awards
Because we are prepared to offer a “Become a Merchant” program. We should be able to get grants to pay for it.
Look at disabled, minority, school, etc. This could be great for rehab situations.
Investors
- Advertising at discount;
- LTDs at discount;
Stock, Warrants, Options
(SEC issues; Forbidden until further notice);
Lifetime Deals
Lifetime deals are a common funding solution. The idea is that they buy at a low price, and you can do it because it translates to massive income.
Marketing Services
- Spin-2-Win
- TnT Network
Each of these offers extreme marketing potentials. Merchants will pay fees for more of these services than are included n respective packages.
Resellers Licenses
A reseller license would allow the holder to sell specified products, shops, advertising, etc.
We might allow as much as 50% to 100% of the first month fees, or .5% of ongoing, etc.
Shop Closing Fees
We are setting ‘Shop’ closing fees at 6.9 – 9.9% in an attempt to be one of the lowest fees on the net.
NOTE: We refund a percentage of this fee for sales volume.
Shop Monthly Rental Fees

Web Developer Licenses
Similar to or the same as a Reseller. In some way favorable to them.
No fee to them is charged, they just get a discount/commission.

The Bigger Mission… Beyond the Marketplace
This vision we call the Mahalo.Market is a very important part of a larger mission to “Change the World” as we know it, to battle the evil in unique ways blessed by our Great Creator.
Note: We have faith in the “Great Architect”, but is it not a religion as you might define it. Our faith allows us to love and assist any human, regardless of religion.
To put it bluntly, it does take money to change some things, it ACTUALLY TAKES BILLIONS.
But before you can raise the money, you must have a plan. We have a plan!
Why my Team and I are very different..?
First, I am a Native Ambassador, semi-retired, from the ancient “KeeTooWah” band.
You may know the name “Cherokee,” but that is something new, where KeeTooWah is a very old name.
Proud of my heritage, I grew up singing and dancing to the songs; “The Cherokee Nation will Return” and the “Age of Aquarius”, and to me, one always seemed like a continuation of the other.
Today these songs remain the ongoing beat of my heart… coming from the roots of generations of KeeTooWah so long past…
For me, it is perhaps different, but the feeling these songs give me, that feeling of restoration, sharing, caring, empowering many peoples around the world, and making things right the world over.
Let me also assure you all, that around the world, our First Nations and Peoples and many Brave Aquarians stand ready to answer the Really Big Questions that science and civilization cannot.
Harmony in the World is a choice..!
Specifically, how to live in harmony with nature, the universe, and humanity at large.
Something our First Nations had in more abundance than modern civilization.
- What happened?
- Can it be fixed?
Yes, it can be fixed, in fact, things like this great reset the world is going through spell the opportunity for change, but only if we accept the mission to change the world. Each and every one of us. We must not leave it to the same people that create the problems. They clearly do not know or perhaps, they do not wish to fix the problems.
Simply put, if you do not choose, the choice will be made for you…! Not Me…
History shows us that great nations made great efforts to take what did not belong to them, very naughty indeed. Leaving death and destruction in their wake.
Out of love for the innocent peoples of the world, the Creator has looked away from those sins and blessed these great nations, allowing them to turn to serve some greater purposes.
But, during this recent century, things have been too much about money, power, and PooPy people
**(PooPy; Power over other People”).
Unfortunately, over time we have seen those that we should sincerely miss, our First Nations, who once had true bliss, health, freedom, stress-free lives, and more.
Today’s great nations can learn from the wisdom of these First Nations, there is a great wealth of information in-store as that time comes upon us.
But, first and foremost the First Peoples must be empowered and free.
Then, working with great speed, we can plant new seed, and be the change you want to see!
A Big Part of A Larger Mission
Not only will this marketplace bring the money we need to advance our mission, but it is also, in and of itself serves a greater need. The need to serve and protect the Merchants and Shoppers of this world.
Because they bring commerce that drives our world.
see: click here
More than that, a marketplace gathers things and people together.
The marketplace is also a conversation and sharing place.
Not the “closed space” that built Amazon and eBay.
This is just not natural, right, or fair…
Bad business they are teaching the world.
The result is quite obvious and that’s why we are here.
In a world where families and small business survival is not necessary, or even necessarily clear to any nation’s leaders.
Where big business is in bed with governments, and sleeping with enemies of the people at large.
To this Crazy World…
Mahalo.Market brings transparency, opportunity, and blessings to all.
It also fulfills a great part, of enabling our larger mission.
The marketplace enables;
- The transfer of goods and knowledge;
- Brings wealth to family, town, and village economies around the world.
Blessing all around, please…
From the blessings of this great commerce machine, our “Mission to Change the World” is enriched by the many Merchant connections around the world.
- The ability to connect and collaborate.
- To share ideas, concerns, and solutions to many things.
- All of this generated by the commerce you see.
Next things get bigger and bigger…
With thousands of small groups empowered and able to grow, we CAN sow the seeds of blessing around the globe.
- It’s both crazy and smart, to start by building “a Marketplace with a Heart.!“
You see, we believe that people have seen enough greed and profit at the expense of everything we cherish and love.
These great corporations are naughty, not nice!
Too much, make things that break and disappoint (and fill dumps)
The world they are building is without hope… because they only want you to feed on their dope.
They prey on your hope, and your fears, leaving the world in tears.
Because in the end, they are restless knowing that you had a good night’s sleep.
The Mahalo.Market changes things…
Our “Pay it Forward” journey will bring great wealth…
In return, it will provide the money to fund the changing of our world.
Including money to fund each Merchant growing and expanding. Because banks are of little help to small businesses. Mahalo.Market is set to provide millions in funding by 2022, and billions by 2023.
We think you will agree it is a very fair trade..!
The marketplace will open NEW connections and deals between and around each Merchant.
The synergy will be unstoppable…
We will share strategies that help each Merchant to help each other Merchant become Muti-Millionaires, completely debt-free, and then, they will “help each other” and us, to “Change the World.”, which you see is actually done in the process of this method of business.
We like to call it “Pay it Forward Thinking”.
The Cost of Freedom
Returning for a moment to our mission, we need an ever-increasing base of capital.
This is because FREEDOM IS EXPENSIVE, you must deal with banks, major corps, governments, stop some wars, broker some other crazy stuff, that does not involve wars and other nasty solutions. Cash can buy some great solutions.
It can be done..!!
We can free every slave, bring peace to every nation, spur the freedom revolution across the globe, giving every man, woman, and child a brighter more fulfilling future.
We actually have a plan, many of them, from
- How to eliminate the homeless problem;
- To enable the average American to enjoy more than $100k a year.
Feel free to call me crazy, many have…
But I tell you now that “we can”, and will do these things… together…
As John Lennon said; “I pray you will join us“
…it will take less effort with your help..!
The Key to Both Wealth and Freedom…
The key to all this is having NO FEAR, having a backup plan, and never doing a deal or negotiation without making everyone at the table a bigger winner than you. Once again, this is the very definition of a “Pay it Forward Lifestyle”. I encourage you to try it, it is indeed fulfilling.
This philosophy has carried my wife and me through thick and thin.
We have been lone warriors all our lives, but yet having the help of powerful men and women given freely when the need arose.
We want to teach the world to have this same confidence and power to persuade and to help mold the world as we know it, thereby enabling us all…
Let’s all be the change we want to see.
So now you know the story, behind the story all can see.
What our marketplace is meant to be, and why it is important to all including me.
This is our “Pay it Forward” Lifestyle
We live it every day, Marileen and I have given without concern of any direct return. Since the Creator put us together 45 years ago. He knew that we would help, support, and love each other completely.
Likewise, this beautiful thing, we call the Mahalo.Market is also powered by “Pay it Forward” as well.
We do not know or care exactly where a dollar invested, returns a dollar earned. The timing blurs a bit, sort of like the chicken and the egg question.
We just know we are doing what we do best, and that the Creator has sent us a small few, very special angels already.
Hearts big as oceans, and hard workers too.
They are so exceptional angels, each deserving of special note because they too have given their time and resources to help bring this great thing…
So we dare not fail to share each of these special Angels:
Annette Udechukwu ~ Past Director of Business Planning
Dennis Wieczorek ~ Director of Accessibility
Add a very special thanks to our sideline Angels:
Alan Arato ~ Entrepreneur, and Talent Manager
Bhavin ~ a UAX developer
Craig Gibson ~ San Diego, Motivation Consultant
Dr. Dustow ~ Autism and Disability advisor
Monchalee Ota ~ Social Media Consultant (Design Ideas)
This job is too big, for so few…
We continue to work around the clock, but this could be faster with your help…
So please reach deep in your heart…
Feel the message, the hope, and the blessings behind the Mahalo.Market
This is the time for great things to happen, you can be a part of it…
This is the time…”Be the Change You Want to See“
Will you help, the Team, Marileen and me..?
