Greetings hive hustlers... it's a new month and I know some of you have written down your goals for this month,I have too...I pray we all smash it and if you haven't, it's not late to do that.

So...now is another time to talk about business and Marketing ideas.

One of the hot topics in Nigeria these days is about publishing books on Amazon and earning in dollars like it's all over my news feed on Facebook and the WhatsApp status of some of my contacts,is it same for you?

But is it worth it? And then what does it cost and how do you get started?
